I'm not one to call for new laws, but it seems the TOS and EULAs are way too powerful and obtuse.

I would like the provider to be required to specify in detail what the consumer did and how those actions violated the TOS. No blaming an algorithm or being vague. A specific action and what was wrong with that action. The BS about needing secrecy for security are just attempts not to get sued.

An internet user bill or rights might not be out of line given the power disparity. At least some lawmaker's staff going through the major TOSes and writing a law to ban some of the egregious clauses.

> I think most mainstream Hollywood studios are not interested in depicting extent religious mythology because it's bound to incur protests from someone or other.

Why? Maybe it just doesn't sell. The fastest growing religious belief in the US is agnostic (or was as of a year or two ago).
Learn a hobby. Maybe try to be more self sufficient. The more self sufficient you are, the less approval you'll need from others. I dream of a small farm someday. I learn things now that will be useful in the future - like gardening, butchering, taxidermy, culturing mushrooms, caning, etc.
Yeah, for example in 1975 the whole historical church of Most in Czechoslovakia was moved by almost a full kilometer via rail and hydraulics, to enable lignite coal mining beneath its former location: https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/moved-church-of-most-kos...
This is pretty cool. I’ll heed what you say and try to give feedback soon. Seeing this during holiday season should give me time to actually consume this enough to try to see if it can become a regular part of what I use.
Outdoor visibility can be solved with a brighter screen.

To an extent, but eye strain is reduced quite a bit when surfaces are front-lit by the environment rather than back-lit by a uniform light.

No amount of trickery like pointer trails will make up for the fact that the pointer lags behind the input by a very noticeable amount.

As I understand it, small parts of an e-ink screen can be updated very quickly, but sacrificing grayscale accuracy and glitchiness. Either way, I'd 100% buy an e-ink laptop with specs comparable to current developer laptops, so how many people does it take to make a market for that?
> loads instantaneously

I've never encountered a case where VLC did not load "instantaneously". Unless you're using a baked potato this should always be the case. If you have proper benchmarks for different video files and different hardware, cite them. "Instantaneously" doesn't mean a thing.

Your other points are equally subjective and meaningless. Especially vim bindings, really? That is now considered a feature? And I don't get how directly changing the configuration from the GUI where each option is explained in detail is simpler than a error-prone process of modifying a text configuration.
When there's 1,000 happy customers and 1 unhappy one, what's the incentive to fix anything?

This reminds me of another story involving horses and, while not quite as formal as this, at least involved some creative (or humorous at least) argumentation.

A while back in Sweden some fella started a movement which argued that horses are in fact a fruit that does not exist. It became a quite popular meme and the founder was even interviewed on national television. (Yes, really.) When asked how a horse could possibly be a fruit that doesn't exist, he likened them to dragons. See, dragons are a kind of lizard, but they're also just a figment of our imagination and so therefore can not possibly exist. Horses are the same except they're a fruit, and they don't exist. He presented this argument with a straight face in the middle of a riding school with horses in the background, leaving the interviewer dumbfounded. It was a glorious and hilarious moment in Swedish television history.
I'm pretty sure __data_start/__data_end is the symbol for the first/last initialized data in an ELF binary, so possibly a conflicting glibc or a conflicting or missing library
We've been migrating our production to Graviton2 (now Graviton3). Our developers run x86 Macs. Everything runs on the JVM, Python, Node, Go, so nobody feels like there's a difference. The ARM transition has been transparent for us.

Linus' reasoning makes sense, but the real world disagrees with him (at least in our case).
> Current skyscrapers are designed for a minimum 100-year lifespan.

That’s fascinating. I wonder how they interpret “minimum”. Do they try to just cross that threshold or overshoot by a lot?
“Make it so” is so on point :)
This is clever, but I wouldn't call it a variation on this style of proof — the OP was an example of a somewhat-subtle logic error, while this is just two instances of wordplay (forelegs ⇔ four legs; six legs being an 'odd' number of legs for a horse).

The joke is funny though
Maybe read it a bit more generously, in the vein of:

* Maybe we can get to a point where running your own services is easy enough and normalized enough that most people do it.

I'm doubtful, but there's at least some small winds in that direction-- disillusionment with FAANG, peaking of the large tech economy, some renewed interest in privacy.

People were doing it for ages with CDs and DVDs just fine. Learning to backup one drive to another? If this is such a huge mental load then spread your buttocks and let the corps have you here and there. You deserved it.
It’s so odd. 15-20 years ago we didn’t have this problem. It just takes time and time is very precious. It comes downs to risk and time. Is the risk of this happening worth your time? Some times I think we embrace technology too quickly as technologists without considering the whole picture. At this point you have to ask if you can trust the people behind a technology to dk the right thing for a decade or more. If the answer is no start figuring out how to ditch it. This ignores the philosophical issues emerging with FAANG type companies. Anyhow, it’s much easier to never embrace a technology or vendor than it is to ditch it later.

In my jurisdiction I swear you could sue them in small claims court. I think it’s pretty easy to do and lawyers aren’t allowed. You’d probably end up with someone from the nearest Apple store representing Apple and they’d have no answers.

Even if you lose, there aren’t any downsides and Apple would have to send an employee to participate. I would absolutely do it if I ended up in the same position.
A few people I've spoken with who "broke out" of this mentality credit Jordan Peterson's 12 rules for life

https://www.amazon.com/12-Rules-Life-Antidote-Chaos/dp/03458...

Here's a quick video (12 min video):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApC0faRYabI

I suspect his lectures, books, etc are likely more in depth. I personally haven't read it much, but am aware of the rules.

At the end of the day, you have to just get moving. One thing I've found helpful is selecting objectives, often physical ones. Go to the gym every day, take a 1-hour walk. Brush your teeth, shower, eat breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Make a list and hold yourself to account, get a star chart and show progress. From there you can build.

Life needs objectives, you have to decide who and what you want to be, but start at some basics -- "I want to bench 180lbs" or "I want to complete my list for a full week".

It may sound strange, but when people are in that state, the hardest thing in the world is getting started. If you miss a day, fine. Don't make an excuse you have to keep going. Eventually, you form habits and the more you form, the more robust and resilient you are. If you miss a couple activities for a day or two it wont be the end of the world. Just keep your life moving and pick them back up.

After you can do that and you accomplish a few objectives, I think you can / should start thinking of longer goals, 2 -3 years out and just keep building. At the end of the day, this isn't a journey for anyone but yourself.

> Apple Music will delete any local copies it manages when the credential is invalidated.

No, it doesn't. I literally just tested this. The article you linked to is wrong. (The site looks like a content farm, so this is hardly surprising.)

Signing out of an Apple ID will leave any subscription content downloaded from Apple Music present on the device, but unplayable. This is expected -- the user never purchased that music; they only had access to listen to it through their Apple Music subscription. Any other locally stored content belonging to the user remains playable, even if it was downloaded through Apple Music, and the subscription content will become playable if you log back in.

> What it was "optimized for" is irrelevant if it's legible and has good information.

It's not having good information that is important, what's critical is finding relevant information quickly, tagging and linking it to other parts of the document and external sources. Also information does not have to be limited to text format, especially for manuals a graphic or a small video can be worth more than thousand written words. Welcome to 21st century. All information you'll ever need is present in the source code, then why even bother creating a documentation? Manpage is limited for even text terminals, texinfo is so much better.

I agree regarding the need to keep the documentation updated. However, it's quite easy to get support from the community and putting a request to update an outdated article or section.

You have to rustle up a wired keyboard, at least. Fortunately, most hotels and motels will have them handy in their computer rooms, and almost any business will have a keyboard for you to try borrowing.

I've been carrying my full sized wired keyboard along with my laptop since I had a laptop keyboard fail a few devices ago. I'd rather have a portable pc and monitor in a clunky case, the form factor of a laptop has always seemed the wrong solution for the problem being solved. Multiple pieces isn't a big deal.
Definition (a) goes on to include "also : the computer architecture and equipment using a particular operating system", which I think is largely accurate and I agree something like java would probably fit.

Email and Signal are kinda on the fence for me, because they're split up in a way where it's not really one cohesive platform in the same sense as a social media platform.

Regardless, even if you consider them platforms in this sense, both have the same issue with the detection of spam and other bad actors.
Or others have bought into lassezfaire capitalism to such an extent that they think large companies are amoral entities and therefore get a free pass to do whatever the want and grow larger and larger engulfing and eliminating competition.
I had a similar experience with PayPal. Fortunately, I had created a separate bank account specifically for use with PayPal. After they blocked my account (for the heinous crime of having the word "Hacker" in my company name: Hacker Factor), I went to the bank and closed that account. PayPal ended up keeping the remaining balance of something like $1.

> Seek therapy

Therapy is not going to magically inject meaning in your life. Let's stop with the fake solutions.
Imagine one not-so-fine day, your partner of 10 years sends a message "You messed up - we are over". You cannot contact them and their best friend only says "you should have not broken the trust - thats all I can say". Your partner has keys to some of your valuables and you are very worried. As a last ditch effort, you contact their parent and after three days, they are back with a smile as if nothing happened. Then you continue happily and put in even more of your time/money/whatever in this lovely setup.
Clearly someone read The E-Myth when putting this together. It's very well organized. But how dehumanizing to work in such an environment, with such specific rules about what and how little to say! I imagine this kind of thing is normal (?) in households of very rich people, even when they aren't sex traffickers.

People who like celebrities have similar praises for them. Calling celebs artists or similar things is one of the most common occurrences.

This seems like you like these celebs like any one likes “vapid celebs” but because of the persistent push of these sort of folk to seem so intellectual (but not elite), things have to be spun like being called artists vs celebs to keep the narrative and celebrity going.
Well, I disagree with pretty much everything in the claims.

First, most real unoptimised code faces many issues before memory bandwidth. During my PhD, the optimisation guys doing spiral.net sat nextdoor and they produced beautiful plots of what limits performance for a bunch of tasks and how each optimisation they do removes an upper bound line until last they get to some bandwidth limitation. Real code will likely have false IPC dependencies, memory latency problems due to pointer chaising or branch mispredictions well before memory bandwidth.

Then the database workload is something I would consider insanely optimized. Most engines are in fierce performance competition. And normally they hit the memory bandwidth in the end. This probably answers why the author is not comparing to EPYC instances that have the memory bandwidth to compete with Graviton.

Then the claims that they choose not to implement SMT or to use DDR5 are both coming from their upstream providers.
Earnestly I offer this suggestion:

Your perception of yourself and your life is being distorted by depression. The intellect tries to make this about "meaning," or who you are, but it's not really about that.

You're not a parasite, and the people who care about you don't think you're a loser. You're okay, and it sucks that you're going through this, but nothing is wrong with you. You're just having a rough spot, which is normal and common, especially in these times. If anyone says otherwise (including or especially yourself) they're wrong.

I agree that therapy is a good idea here. If you've had trouble finding a local therapist, use the betterhelp or talkspace app - it's very easy to get connected to a therapist there.

Wishing you the best in moving forward with all this.

OK number one thing to understand first and foremost: you are not a ‘broken person’ if you take medication. It’s a tired trope, but only because there’s some truth to it: a person with kidney, heart, or other organ issues isn’t a broken person because they take medication for their condition, right? Same applies to any of your conditions.
These tech companies are ridiculous to the point that some law should be written to curb their attitudes.

These are the richest companies in our country, and print money hand over fist. That they sell online life services like photo, storage, music, etc should require them to provide actual, human support.

I find it really sad they even have to be forced into it. How much could it possibly cost to hire a few hundred 'filterers' that triage out the tech support, and a smaller team of people who look into real issues?

Amazon and Walmart do it, and still both make tons of money. So what's the downside here?

> TCP/IP relies on your ISP routing you. They can disown you, taking you offline.

They can cancel your service, obviously, but that prevents you from using Verizon, not from using TCP/IP. You go sign up for AT&T or Comcast or Starlink and you can still communicate with anyone on the internet.

> Email is fairly dependent on DNS which is fairly dependent on a domain.

Which is why I didn't list DNS. But dependencies are something else. In theory anyone can deny you access to anything by putting you in prison, but by then you're really arguing that preventing this is impossible because a military could wrongfully kill you, rather than talking about whether some specific thing is the thing causing it.
I never said it would? But it’s also not a “fake solution”, and your labeling it as such makes me question your motives for making such a claim.
So... I'd say the best part of using an RSS reader for news is choosing to what you see explicitly instead of relying on algorithms based on popularity to float things in front of you.

I'm not religious either but by reading the works of the folks I suggested I have a better sense of what is in my control and what is not so that I can focus on things that I can address and not worry so much about things that are out of my control.

Contemporary consumerist society is isolating for most people because even though they can buy whatever they want it doesn't change the fact that lack of communal structures makes them feel isolated. This is a systemic issue so there is no individual solution.
It's kinda remarkable how much the new update overhauled world generation. If you've been standing on the sidelines, waiting for "the big one" to draw you back in, I was greatly surprised at how much fun I had exploring some surprisingly realistic and cool vistas. Canyons don't feel sheer, savannas have remarkable valleys and hills, and the cave generation feels... well, "next-gen" for a lack of a better phrase. I have admittedly been pretty unimpressed with Microsoft's handling of the game up until this point, but I've been pleasantly surprised by how fresh it feels now.
