The beauty of reddit, in theory, is that you don't have to subscribe to subreddits you don't like. This worked really well, and still does, to a large extent. Of course, if you have political content on /r/videos, /r/pics etc as is the case today, you're gonna have a bad time. I wish there was more aggressive modding in non-political spaces, and less modding in the places that are.
- Are all the people in North Korea or Russia or many African countries responsible for their governments? The Gaza govt has not allowed any sort of elections or voting or voice of the people of any kind in 15 years. Add on to everything listed below and the population and people don't have enough consistent basic accommodations to be sure they are well versed enough to be able to properly decide or choose things like govt related things.

- Gaza is being oppressed and heavily controlled by Israel and Egypt as well. Gaza's govt, "people in power", do not have the same power as almost any other government.

- Your comment does make sense though. You used "they" three times. The way you used it is reminiscent of what I said it is reminiscent of. Your comment was a response to a response that was referring to "they" as all Palestinians, as was as sibling comment of yours. This comment appears to re-inforce that with your (1).

Re: economy. From wikipedia:

"An extensive Israeli buffer zone within the Strip renders much land off-limits to Gaza's Palestinians.[14]"
_Note: Gaza is not in control of this_

"According to Al Jazeera, "19 human rights groups urged Israel to lift its siege on Gaza". The UN has also urged the lifting of the blockade,[17][18][19] while a report by UNCTAD, prepared for the UN General Assembly and released on 25 November 2020, said that Gaza's economy was on the verge of collapse and that it was essential to lift the blockade.[20][21]"
_Note: seige, blockage are not something Gaza controls. It is Israel and Egypt._

"Due to the Israeli and Egyptian border closures and the Israeli sea and air blockade, the population is not free to leave or enter the Gaza Strip, nor is it allowed to freely import or export goods."
_Same as the above Note_

"Israel maintains direct external control over Gaza and indirect control over life within Gaza: it controls Gaza's air and maritime space, as well as six of Gaza's seven land crossings. It reserves the right to enter Gaza at will with its military and maintains a no-go buffer zone within the Gaza territory. Gaza is dependent on Israel for water, electricity, telecommunications, and other utilities.[22]"
_Same as the above Note_

"Despite the 2005 Israeli disengagement from Gaza,[22] the United Nations, international human rights organisations, and the majority of governments and legal commentators consider the territory to be still occupied by Israel, supported by additional restrictions placed on Gaza by Egypt."
_Same as the above Note_
I found it interesting that the patch was apparently published before it was exploited: https://twitter.com/kelvinfichter/status/1489050921938132996
You don't count your change?

I mean, when you get any. That is increasingly rare.

It looks like most of their cars have ~110 horsepower? Seems weak.
Many restaurants don't have a website anymore. Yes, you can google for directions and opening times, but you can find menu or daily lunch on their Facebook only.
yes you made some claims but i am a little bit skeptical :) tbh i don't think you have a handle on this subject at all. also i specifically asked you about your implementations of lisp and you mentioned everything except that. it's not interesting. as for me i work in machine learning and we are starting a project in which lisp is used as a sort of glue language between various components. i only wish more of the stack consisted of lisp components, but who knows maybe it will eventually :)
In this case, if maintenance starts happening without your knowledge, something else is going on.

Did you take into account the tax return?
Generally speaking, I work by building some data that represent my understanding of the model I'm working with, and some functions to operate on that model. My models start out simple and more or less wrong, and as I work, I build improved understanding. Mostly my understanding improves incrementally, and so does my code. I build up the app piece by piece, adding and changing things bit by bit. So most of the time, changing a small piece is all I need, and that's what evaluating one expression does.

Moreover, if I recompile everything, then I'm rebuilding my in-memory state from scratch. Mostly, that's not what I want. Mostly I work like a sculptor: I make a rough approximation and then refine it stepwise. I don't want to rebuild from scratch every time I discover something new. I want to keep most of what I've built and change just what needs to be changed.

That said, sometimes a discovery does call for a larger-scale reconstruction. That's when I reload a whole file or, in more extreme cases, reload an entire ASDF system of files. Once in a while, I change enough (or make enough mistakes) that it makes sense to blow the whole thing away--kill the Lisp, restart it, and load the system from scratch. But that's fairly rare.

Mostly I want to plop down my clay and tweak it a little at a time toward my goal, discovering and refining it a little at a time.

Roblox proved it. Fortnite is a close second. YouTube is where the money is at.
Facebook replaced sms/voicecall with family. If it wasn't for that I'd have already deleted my account years ago.
I have never used Facebook and I’ve never had trouble finding that kind of information on non-Facebook sites. Are you just used to looking on Facebook first?
Correction: Free AOL disks felt very pervasive here.
daily active users.. so if you login 1x per 24 hours.
The ACLU defended the public speech of the KKK. Is Reddit a public place?
shrug. Let's check back in 5 years.
I only use it to find local events. If it weren’t for fb and insta you’d think nothing was happening at all. The old local publications were all mothballed by the pandemic.
Other examples:

- The "Italian school of algebraic geometry" of the 19th century used intuitive methods that, while groundbreaking, ultimately proved to be unreliable and generated many false results. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_school_of_algebraic_...

- Mochizuki's abc "proof", which seems to be believed a proof by many of his Japanese colleagues, but fatally flawed by most everyone else. https://www.math.columbia.edu/~woit/wordpress/?p=12220

Mathematicians have definitely gotten out ahead of their skis in the past, but I have the impression that the community today is incredibly good at finding flaws in flawed work and making solid work fully explicit and rigorous. It can take years or decades though.
Some local businesses only provide their "number" as a WhatsApp contact, so you're kinda stuck on a Facebook-owned platform anyway.
What is it good for?

- Work meetings

- Socializing

- Dating

- Creative endeavors

- Improved workspace

You'll be able to have work meetings at a virtual office. You can do that now, but the experience will be better. You'll be able to socialize with friends across the world, meet up at virtual replicated areas (like a rooftop bar in NYC..) and meet other people while you're there. You'll be able to go on virtual dates with a long-distance partner. You'll be able to put on your lightweight VR headset and be stationed at a better workstation, with larger monitors where you can manipulate the interface with movements of your hands without the cost of buying such a work set-up in real life. You'll be able to sit on your couch, put on your VR headset and watch movies on a 100 inch TV screen without having to furnish your home with a TV.

The possibilities are endless. Where's your imagination?
I'm surprised (and pleased) to see further updates from Tiny Core.

The base choices are glibc/busybox, versus the musl/busybox of Alpine. Are there places where the base Tiny Core would be useful in containers or other deployment schemes?

I've generally kept it around as a simple environment I might use to boot old hardware, perhaps to run diagnostic tools. I got used to using the System Rescue CD instead; it was a familiar Gentoo starting point. Although System Rescue has switched to a different base for Linux, it's still OpenRC.

https://www.system-rescue.org/

And somewhere along the way, I dropped the ancient laptop habit. The world is a better place.

Still, I'm glad I have the option of a Tiny Core setup. You never know...
There are many businesses (Restaurants, doggy daycare) that no longer have websites but have transitioned solely to a Facebook page for cost and technical ease of maintenance reasons.

I'm not sure craiglist is better... I think for the general folk that FB is quite a bit better.
I guess it's just a matter of personal preference, because I can't relate at all. That would have sounded awful to me before the pandemic, and the experience of virtual everything during the pandemic only makes it sound even more awful.

> People will be able to form romantic relationships and stronger friendships from across the world.

Romantic relationships without physical proximity sounds totally dystopian to me.
For someone missing context, why do you say YouTube is where the money is at? Help me understand.
Except TikTok’s also is controlled or controllable by a foreign government whereas we know all Facebook is after is more profit. One of these seems more malicious and abusable than the other.
I fall into a 3rd category: I used to log into FB once a month or so to check in. For some reason, they decided I was a fake account (despite working for them for 4.5 years) and asked for my ID. The resolution on my 10-year-old MBP was too low for FB's contractors so they rejected my ID 3 times and I seem to now be locked out of my account indefinitely.

Definitely in the top 10 best thing to ever happen to me.
Where I live they use nextdoor for that purpose. I’m not sure which is worse.
THe problem had nothing to do with privacy or respect for users; it was just a bug triggered by a vendor update.
Child rape sounds like a reasonable thing to censor.
“It's anticompetitive because you literally aren't permitted to compete with them.”

That’s not what anti-competitive legislation says. You are making a cute argument using a slogan term and ignoring the definitions within the statutes.

The internals of a browser aren’t significant when it comes to product differentiation. They are significant when it comes to user-impacting features like battery life, security of data on the device outside of your app, and reasonable app sizes. These are the arguments I have seen that defend AAPL and their walled garden.

Anti-competition legislation is prosecuted based on whether prices for the end user are impacted, not whether there is freedom for a developer to rewrite some internal API that Apple already supplied.

There are much better arguments for anti-competitive behavior against Apple than the proprietary browser engine.
That also makes a lot of sense (my other hypothesis, which doesn't necessarily contradict, is that I wasn't introduced to much soda growing up). This could also explain a personal preference for salty food (taste and habit) that other people I've met don't seem to share.
get well buddy :)
They are both wrong. Pico/nano.
Have they built anything for the public?
I wonder if Facebook could be legally compelled to offer read only accounts in the case of banning.

Seems like a simple solution.
Most children who die by Israeli retaliation being of a certain age does not mean all. Normally, if not always, it's considered a tremendous tragedy when you have dozens and dozens if not more pre-teen and younger children innocently dying over a conflict in this century.

Hamas is evil. Sure they want to happen. Children being murdered is still happening though!
Nope. China won't no way.
Can you give an example? I just go to google maps or Apple Maps and type in any business and have all the information I have ever needed.
Google does more network requests than the rest of the external web put together. My understanding is FB is far behind Amazon.
The definition of flip requires parenthesis (a & B6) == (a & B17) as == has higher precedence than and. int is required in C++ but not in C as you said.
How about we start with the claim from the recent leaks that they cause depression or body image issues? The leaked document in question [1] should be considered for further research, but it is hardly evidence of this claim.

There is also a popular claim that Facebook contributed to genocide. Here's an article [2]. Facebook hired an investigator that concluded that their involvement was without their knowledge. Tragic and reckless, sure. Intentional? I doubt it. I think it's an issue of scale and navigating complex regulatory and social structures.

Shadow profiles are another hot topic. The big issue is that, if you agreed to let Facebook read your contacts, it linked your friends phone numbers to distinct 'profiles' in the background. Presumably these could also be tied to their advertising profiles.

Cambridge Analytica was a company that abused a bug in API access (allegedly unbeknownst to Facebook - this exploit was available to all 3rd party apps) to collect information not only about willing participants, but their friends as well.

As for VR, there are numerous claims and hesitancy about privacy abuse through tracking and sensing technologies that are essential to VR development. I appreciate some hesitancy, but it is a bit sensationalized.

Beyond all of this, there are lots of claims of monopoly abuse. There is actually an FTC lawsuit that could lead to a landmark antritust case, but that is yet to be seen. I don't really think they have a monopoly as there are numerous competitors.

I apologize as I don't have links for everything, but that's an overview of my thoughts. I think Facebook is simply navigating the regulatory and social landscape in a way that any novel company or platform would be required to navigate. I think we often forget that this technology is new and will experience growing pains, even if at such massive scale. I think a lot of the blame for the fraying of U.S. democracy, the decline in mental health, and other social issues are incorrectly attributed to things that have brought change in the past few decades. More realistically, I think the U.S. (where most of the claims are relevant) is simply declining after several hundred years of abusive reign as the world's superpower.

It’s not just ads, but non-results content like “other people searched for”. Search for “shoes” for example. With an adblocker, Google shows no results on screen for mobile. With DDG I just get results. It’s not the same for every search, but many Google searches put non-results content above the results.
Most of the “not so young” people I know do not even have an Instagram account. Of my two teens, only one of them uses it (the other has zero interest).

I’m trying to do my part in keeping my teens off social media. I’m about 50% successful.
All of your customers will continue to be Facebook users if you post things on a Facebook page that only Facebook users can view. And Facebook users are an apparently diminishing portion of the population, as per the article this thread is discussing...

Not a good plan for any business, I would think. Would be nice to see more businesses on Mastodon or (gasp!) just run their own websites again. Can you imagine how difficult it must be for a business to buy a domain, hosting, and slap together a static site in this day and age?
For now, but this whole thread is about accepting short term costs for long term gains. The overall direction of Instagram doesn't seem to be following that model.
And whether you have an ad/tracker blocker.
Apart from copying Slack, they also copied Notion:
https://www.fastcompany.com/90692715/microsoft-loop-notion-c...

Copying the innovation of smaller players and bundling it with existing subscriptions is a pretty despicable practice and so obviously anti competitive. I can only assume politicians look the other way since they rely on MS PAC donations.

As for the anti competitive UI dark patterns in this article - it is just very incredibly sleezy and people need to go to jail for it.
I assume you didn't read whole the article. By the end it says the author (who happens to be me) is a Linux developer who work in Porteus distro. It doesn't matter anyway. What matters is that basically all desktop environments and also Windows, Android, MacOS and iOS have native support to desktop icons. And it's not a surprise that many major distros ship GNOME with desktop icons extension installed/enabled by default.

I tried to be clear about this 'paradigm' thing but it seems I failed. There's nothing wrong with changing the paradigm. The problem is that GNOME did that in a less efficient way, although claiming the contrary.
> Physically walking is rarely particularly useful aside from idle curiosity of getting a slightly different vantage point or getting behind cover in a shooter.

This is not an illusion of freedom of movement, but it's actually real freedom of movement vs sitting on a chair and getting an avatar to do it via a controller.

> Real movement happens on point and click teleportation or some of the other fake locomotion schemes.

I think this is your problem. Stop using teleport and actually move. You can get feet trackers to bring more immersion, but nothing kills immersion more than teleportation.

> Stationary games like beat saber don't count.

Why wouldn’t it count? I’m pretty sure it does just like ping pong and boxing.

> I don't think I've ever moved with any sort of... conviction. It's always just a couple steps in any direction, almost always fairly slowly.

I think it's highly dependent on your setup and game. imo playing Quest 2 wireless helps a lot. If you have a lot of physical space for VR, but you fail to actually use it; it defeats its purpose. It's akin to complaining about the lack of tactile feedback in a video game, when you have both vibration and sound turned off.

I still find this a really strange complaint.
I’m pretty sure it is satire with a strong helping of “much truth in jest.”
Huh. But doesn't this in some sense make it the perfect meta-example for not knowing enough to know how little we know?
This is my question too. I’ve never used Facebook, yet I’ve never had any trouble finding the information I am looking for. Is it just very very specific places?
Hey let's make browsing the web as inconvenient and convoluted as we can.
> he could be forced to return to prison in another state if he doesn’t pay required restitution.

Repaying $1.6 million in restitution in six years as a felon just out of prison seems pretty impossible.
You're right. 2023 will be the year of the Linux desktop.
Yeah it’s terrible and I’m sure it’s costs then a lot of business
Waited about 10 minutes and did not work. From what I’ve read it’s because it only connects you if you’re connected to the same server, but OP has like 20-something distributed servers so that might not play very well.
My favorite is the book How To Live Your Life In 24 Hours which was written around 1920 I think. It doesn't technically imply you don't have kids... more that your wife will take care of literally all the work at home.

Don't have time in the morning? Tell your wife to fill the kettle and put matches beside it so you can more easily prepare your tea when you wake up!
Slightly pedantic, but Go uses RE2 which is subtly different than PCRE. In most common use cases, you'd probably never know.
I’m unaware of any data showing that children require vaccines to avoid hospitalization and death in large numbers.

The population of users that have a thing doesn’t change the category of the thing.

It is a proprietary device that runs a proprietary OS. The FCC doesn’t allow the average citizen to reprogram devices with cell phone modems. It is an embedded device with lots of capabilities.
I use the paid version of 1Blocker, and it seems to handle YouTube ads from within Safari. I had to uninstalled the YouTube app to keep everything in-browser.

F.A Hayek wrote a book titled "The Denationalization of Money" in the 70s where he predicted that we'd have competing private currencies not tied to any government at some point. Reading Hayek is difficult because he writes in a very intellectually dense style with very long sentences that assume the reader is already familiar with a lot of technical jargon. Here's a more general introduction to some of his ideas on private currencies with footnotes pointing to the source material: https://mises.org/wire/will-cryptos-fulfill-hayeks-vision-pr...
How is the coffee one even possible? I don’t drink coffee, but almost everyone else I know does. There is a Starbucks on every corner. Every coffee shack always has lines.
You might be in the US. In many other countries WhatsApp is a first class communication mechanism, comparable to WeChat in China.
One of my earliest "ah ha" moments in managing software engineers is asking them to do something and the answers tended to be "that's really really hard" or "that's simple". The realization was they were actually telling me "I don't know how to do that" or "I know how to do that". Once someone figured out how to do the really really hard thing it somehow became "simple". Now when someone tells me something is "hard" I can't seem to shake the bias that they just don't know...

Conversely, non-technical business people are very highly likely to tell me some piece of engineering is "easy" or "simple" when they have no background, or knowledge, at all.
Why are they any more trustworthy than your typical crypto company? (i.e. not at all)

They don't have a list of board members/investors or a mailing address anywhere that I can find
I use Facebook almost exclusively for local motorcycle groups and my BJJ gym.

For small, local groups, Facebook is a great free way to setup events (like group rides) and share hobbies.

My motorcycle group used to use Meetup but it has a fee and has much lower engagement.

I've stopped using it as a way to communicate with family and friends because of the toxicity related to political divisions. I had to leave a family group messenger chat when two of my brothers started calling my oldest brother vulgar names while talking about my Aunt and Uncle dying of COVID.
Capital tends to get allocated where it can be the most product for its owner. The alternative to putting it into crypto would not have been to solve world hunger, climate change, or to create a more equitable world.

It’s like saying “think of all the ways we could have made the world better if people didn’t invest in Apple.”
Any idea why it says https://www.libhunt.com/godotengine/godot is GPL3 and not MIT license?
