Even when it's midnight and the clock hands point to 12, it's just 0:00 in our heads. Of course when thinking an talking about time, sometimes the numbers 13 to 23 are replaced with their 1 to 11 counterparts and if it's ambiguous, a "in the morning", "in the afternoon", "in the evening" is added. But there's a clear distinction between "0" and "12". When someone says "12 o'clock", it's always 12 noon and never 12 midnight, since that would be "0 o'clock".

Although there's still "userland" in Phantom, it's just that it uses type safety for memory protection, instead of MMU.

It looks like garbage because of poor rendering quality. There's no theoretical reason why a screen could not look quite sharp even at 768p, and literally perfect at 1080p; anything higher would then be pure overkill or at best catering to a tiny minority of users with superhuman eyesight. You don't even need hinting or fitting to a pixel grid for "correct" rendering, it's just generally easier that way. But you can't let the rendering itself blur stuff and waste screen resolution - you need a good resampling filter to preserve sharpness even at the highest spatial frequencies, and the typical bilinear/bicubic approach doesn't do that.
Wow, "just force everyone". This is not freedom. I mean it doesn't feel that wrong because we ware talking about a big corporation, and sure I hate that WhatsApp replaced SMS here here claiming "privacy first, never any ads" but then gets bought by a big anti-privacy, ads-everywhere company. But still, imagine WhatsApp was written and maintained by an individual? Would we be so keen to use terms like "force"? This is all negative in the freedom dimension.

If you want a free, private, modern communication network, build it, don't steal it. In this case we are already very close to having a very nice solution in the form of Matrix. Throw some money and devs for things at Matrix/Element for issues we want to solve there. Push it as a government sanctioned solution. Offer services over Matrix, avoid WhatsApp.

I've had to assist an elderly neighbour after her phone company cut off her phone service.

Why?

The way she had paid for it for the preceding 40 years was she would get the paper bill in mail, and then go down to the post office and organise payment using the details in that paper bill.

They switched her over to paperless billing with an email that they've done so but you can opt out.

She either did not understand the implications of this or missed the email, and is of the age where she would not remember when exactly she had last paid which bill. So without a paper bill to remind her, and her payment method being via the post office rather than the utility provider having billing details on record, she ended up not paying 3 months of bills and being cut off.

It's not like they've offered this option to new customers for at least 15 years. So stuff like this it feels like they should just eat the cost of 12 letters per year until the remaining people availing of it age out.

This was actually a “legit” site I’d seen before. My account was over a decade with all sort of Reddit gifts awards and mod of a few subs, one of which is over a million people (back when I had the patience to mod subs haha). They also tend to value email verified accounts.

They offered $200 and I haggled to $500 then ghosted them just to see how far I could take it for kicks. Definitely didn’t sell it. I don’t drink the Reddit kool-aid but I’d rather not directly contribute to astroturfing for pay.

Easy alternative: start the clock at zero like a rational individual would. 12 only makes sense if you see it as the end and go backwards from there. It's a bit like the confusing mess of how year numbers work where traditionally there is no year zero (because the year one is 1 AD, i.e. the first year "of our Lord", i.e. year numbers are actually ordinal even though everyone treats them as nominal).

Besides, at this point 90% of the time formats people look at in their daily lives are probably digital (since analog faces are only relevant to actual clocks and even most clocks are likely digital simply because so many electronic devices come with digital clocks) and even analog clocks don't always have numbers on them (or use fanciful alternatives like Roman numerals). The people who prefer analog clocks are clearly just sticking with them out of personal preference or aesthetics anyway.

>You will very much test positive for Covid if you’re vaccinated and boosted.

I'm not denying that some people who are vaccinated test positive, but I'm saying they dismiss people who test negative as not having Covid. So if vaccinated people catch Covid and test negative for Covid, their illnesses and hospitalizations are completely dismissed as if they aren't part of the problem and the pandemic. That means vaccines are being given credit for keeping a whole lot of people out of the hospital who haven't been kept out. They've merely managed to test negative whilst still being hospitalized with very serious symptoms. The data that shows this is that the vaccinated get hospitalized 6 times more often than those with natural immunity. Working vaccines would lead us to expect something closer to 1:1. None of these vaccines would have ever met the required 50% efficacy threshold to get approved if we started over today using what is known as a starting point.

>start living life like you did pre-2020?

I went so hardcore for so long, and was so sure I'd die if I caught it, I reached a breaking point August 2021 where I just didn't care and couldn't care anymore. March 2020 I had gone 100% on social distancing, I didn't speak to anyone for around 16 months. Flew to South Korea to hide when they had 30 some cases a day nationwide, spent 40 days in various government quarantines (Thailand's as well) to stay in hiding and out of high risk countries. I actually had anxiety about whether or not I'd ever be able to reintegrate into society and socialize again.
Cost to you is not necessarily the true cost.

It depends on how the ER is being funded. Since you're in the EU, I assume you've got socialized health care. That means everyone has health insurance with a co-pay. A co-pay is intended to discourage use, not cover costs.

The rest of the cost of the ER still exists, it just isn't directly funded by people attending the ER.

iCloud Backup was introduced in iOS 5, released in 2011. It escrows either message plaintext or device secret keys (depending on OS version and configuration) to Apple, encrypted with Apple keys (non-e2e) and readable to Apple (and the FBI and others, some of whom access the data without probable cause or a warrant under FAA Section 702).

WhatsApp backup backs up chat plaintext to cloud services (I think Google is the default), also non-e2e and readable to the cloud storage service (who often shares it with government snoops without a search warrant, also under FAA Section 702). They added an e2e option late last year but it doesn't matter if you turn it on because none of the people you chat with are likely to have it enabled (so all of your chats will be backed up in plaintext from the other end).

Joking aside, I generally don't want to get into the debate, because I believe people work differently, and there should be room for doing both things. It's just a bit sad that Typescript is being pushed so hard as if it's the only right way.
EU Provisionally Agrees on Law That Would Force Apple to Allow Alt. App Stores
If government thinks access to a commonground chat platform is a necessity for the public, then they should either provide it themselves or buy/outsource a state-operated private service instead of messing up with private companies' private platforms. What they are doing is equivalent of trespassing private property, such laws shouldn't exist in 2022.

The rancour and confusion on these issues at the moment is awful, I just hope that it's something that we will get through and come out of with a better understanding of trans issues and better lives for trans people.

I'm hetero white male myself so have no standing on this, but going through the AIDS epidemic at it's height in the 80s as a teenager was a transformative experience for me. In particular the almost gleeful reaction to the advent of the "gay plague" from many religious conservatives in the US horrified me, especially as I consider myself broadly conservative, at least on economics. These were people I considered my natural political allies, but the words and actions of uncomfortably many of them were just monstrous. It was so painful watching LGB public figures (T issues were less prominent back then) go through such humiliating, degrading treatment in the media.

Fortunately we seem to have got through that for the most part. Acceptance of LGB rights and respect for their dignity has, in the upcoming generation including my own kids, become thoroughly uncontroversial and they want to do right by Transgender people too.

The Transgender debate is in a very difficult phase, partly because some issues like sports seem to overlap with and contend uncomfortably with hard won respect for women's rights and identity. You're quite right, the maximalist gender political wing isn't helping at all. Polarisation is not the way to go on this, it's going to take time for people to get to understand the issues and develop informed opinions, but the road we've travelled for LGB rights shows it's possible and worthwhile.
Would this also require Signal to provide an open client API for messaging by 3rd party clients?
You're making it sound as though a 24-hour format is a wild new idea when it's actually in common use across 100+ countries. Timestamps go from 00:00:00 to 23:59:59 without breaks in continuity. The clock still has 12 hours with the 12 on top, but it is commonly understood that "12" on the clock face can refer to either 0 or 12, just like how "5" can refer to either 5 or 17.
Yeah, most sensible people don't like to argue with fools for fear of being mistaken for one by sinking down to that level.

But the cultural ideology trolls clearly need to be pushed back on and put in place in the larger perspective, where their concerns are overall minor.

This is a great illustration of the point I like to use -

Yeah, that could have used a citation indeed. I use Moxie [0] because he is a face to a popular messaging app (Signal [1]), and I think it is important to realize he is the brain behind this wonderful creation.

It should be easy to make exceptions for smaller companies/services, and put the rule into force for larger services. Also, the API doesn't need to be stabilized. If Whatsapp wouldn't send DCMA notices to developers of third party clients, and ban users of such, it would be a good start already.

It's as easy as via any other method. XMPP supports both server-intermediated transfers (where the file is uploaded to the server - this is what almost all platforms choose to do these days), but it also supports negotiated p2p streamed transfers (suitable for huge files, essentially unlimited, but less reliable, e.g. it requires both sender and recipient to be online at the same time).

I would argue a single program that runs on bare metal to performs a specific purpose is not an "operating system". An "operating system" is a program that runs on bare metal (operates the system) and runs other programs. Those other programs are "userspace" regardless of the security or IPC model involved in communicating with the actual operating system.

I don't agree with you.

If the product of the whole operation ends up with less carbon in the atmosphere, then it is in fact removing carbon. Plus they aren't using binders that contribute to more carbon to the atmosphere.

Now, we can be extremely strict in this definition and unless a company actually produces 0 carbon and is still extracting it from the atmosphere would be the ones who could claim they are "carbon negative", but then I guess not even CO2 extractors could claim that because they still need to be built and consume power.

I don't think that will get us anywhere. By that logic not even trees are "carbon negative".

In the end it's a matter of perspective, because what we're actually doing most of the time is offsetting/moving carbon around, and there's nothing wrong with that.

If it's captured from the air by a chemical process, or stored underground, or if it simply is stored in a byproduct that's reused and never reaches the atmosphere, it's all the same.
Much of that is from Google. It makes sense to replace that and reduce that dependency on a single instance.

Regulation (EU) 2021/953 on the EU Digital COVID Certificate introduced EU-wide rules for issuing and accepting proof of a person’s COVID-19 vaccination, test result or recovery.

The EU Digital COVID Certificate helps people travel freely within the EU during the COVID-19 pandemic. How the certificate is used for other purposes (access to events, etc.) is up to each EU country to decide.

The Regulation currently applies until 30 June 2022. This initiative proposes to extend it by 12 months.
