Nice idea, but consent a question: this web-app do home inventory, and home inventory only, another do bank transactions record and stocks and them only, another is only a webmail + webcalendar, ... ALL not integrated not easy to integrate despite with classic modern poor man's solution (many WebVM tabs open and cut&paste) witch is the very same limitation of classic modern desktop applications.

In the past, a far past, such limitations, walls, walled gardens, have not existed. An operating system in the past was a single application, with a "common layer" witch is what we can call base system + base userland and countless of variations any users, yes users, not developers, can made.

How many here think it's about time to came back to such model? Modern applications both desktop GUIs and WebUIs are like they are for commercial purpose, not by nature, Plan 9 GUIs, Xerox GUIs, LispM GUIs in different time in history were NOT like that.

Personally I try to re-create such classic desktop in Emacs and it's does work, even if in a spaghetti manner, for instance my "agenda" is not really a dedicated app (it's org-agenda, but for me it's just a collection of notes with scheduled/deadlines/todos in them + various catchall), so mails are not used via a dedicated UI isolated from the rest (I use notmuch, but accessing mails via org-mode links, like notmuch-search:tag:unread, so mails are linked in relevant notes, and those notes (org-mode/org-roam managed/accessed) "link" attachments, comprehend inventory, transactions, mails, metadata, ... all integrated and filtered in various way (plain search&narrow like org-roam-node-find, org-ql queries, ...).

Long story short: who do not know what I describe in the above paragraph, didn't you feel the missing integration in modern tools? For those who know instead: why we keep even in FLOSS land such modern/archaic model?
This happened to me recently.

The internet went out, but I had some tv shows I wanted to watch already downloaded and indexed by my Plex server. So I tried loading Plex locally from my phone and it kept trying to "phone home" to have me login to the Plex website, which failed due to not having any internet access.
Batshit. Sounds like a withdrawal moment. Anyone who studies institutions, management, and factories knows that the overarching culture that flows from the top-down is what sets the expectations and communication norms. This is typical old school American hierarchically organized culture that made it certain that the employees on the floor knew the solution and that the managers had no idea. The problem starts and ends with Musk and his shitty company culture/communication. It is his job to create a culture where ops communicates with management and vise versa. Toyota has answer to this problem.
Terminals are largely owned by graybeard maintainers that aren’t interested in innovating the Unix command line. This is not a difficult change.
This is exactly the kind of content that I really love. A lot of people are decrying the streamers but I feel like they added a lot more fun to the project. There was a giant 1v8 that "France" fought for in the bottom left corner and they ended up winning and keeping their flag. The bronies got attacked consistently over the course of 3+ days and ended up with more space than they started with.

It's fun reading over the different arguments. Flag haters, bot haters, territorial arguments, etc. This is the best kind of art! It's also kinda funny watching people complain about bots when the first iteration had just as much botting. I wouldn't be surprised if the exact same scripts were used now that existed then. I think the only big difference this time around was streamers using overlays to 50K+ viewers.
"[we want a restrictive license that] prevents another company from starting a commercial enterprise off of it"

versus

"our terminal model code is based on Alacritty’s model code."

Well done. Sorry guys, that's where you lost me.
Storing heat as steam is actually very good and efficient - as long as you're storing the heat for location shifting, not temporal shifting. It's regularly used in combined heat + power plants

(Yeah, I know I'm being both pedantic and off topic, since the discussion here is specifically about seasonal storage)
From Personal Tragedy to Powerful Impact: Social Entrepreneur Ross Mason & Hinri
> Majority of Americans (and most people I'd imagine) do not really care about their policies. They don't give two figs about it, and just go about their life just fine without being affected by it one bit.

That's the problem with not giving a shit. When things finally do become bad enough that it affects you personally, it's too late. When it comes to standing up for what's right - and I define what's "right" as mostly what the Constitution of the United States lays forth as our inalienable rights, you better give a shit from the word "go" and you better oppose it stridently because once freedoms get stripped away from you, they're nearly impossible to recover.

I can't even imagine how the Founders would react to things like the PATRIOT Act.

And we can blather on all goddamn day about "muh private corporations!" but when these corporations are actively suppressing competitors and are working hand-in-hand with news outlets to label any new alterative as a Mos Eisley-esque shithole that no respectable person would frequent, the point is moot.

Facebook and Twitter are the modern day public square. Some people will want to claim it's "The Internet" itself; you can just go make your own public square and publish your own website, etc., but that's not actually how a public square works. Just because you hop on your tractor and box blade your front yard flat and pave it over with concrete and add some park benches to it, doesn't turn it into the public square. You actually have to have the public actively occupying it. The public square is where the people are. And the people are on Facebook and Twitter... at least in America.
Suppose the president got up every day and issued a presidential address in which he said "we should kill all mintorities". Would you be opposed to this?

Thats an extreme example, but the point im illustrating is that in reality, as a society, we do not approve or endorse all speech, and it is obviously true that censorship is useful. You can see quite clearly that were the president to do this, it would have consequences.

Does that mean we should make certain speech illegal? Not necessarily. Does it mean we should curtail the reach of certain speech? I think it is good for Twitter to do this.

The distinction is that speech being possible is different than speech being emphasized or broadcasted.
I really don't understand this as a problem. Maybe for hardcores, who watch the same content over and over again and need to see things as soon as possible, in a particular quality, but those are the types who are likely to invest in physical media anyway (and really, that is the "better alternative" for people who are paranoid about online services going dark/removing access/whatever).

There's just so much content on so many systems, all cheaper than buying one dvd per month that (some even free), that I just can't see anyone really being at a loss for how to entertain themselves in the case Netflix goes dark.
Yes, but this I suppose is a bit like a mechanical watch (if many orders of magnitude less practical). You can spend $30,000 on a watch that keeps terrible time in comparison to a $10 quartz watch. But you know there's all these tiny precision machines inside ticking away, and that makes you happy.

The only power I can extract from a fusor is the current generated inside a Geiger counter. But in my head, I know there's all kinds of cool fusion reactions happening. Gamma rays, helium, tritium, neutrons... that's all going on and it's just cool to know you're making it happen.
Some images were not permitted. Like the American flag linked above. They rebuilt it but the original was wiped out by an admin user.
If you can write what about plex do you miss, I could also suggest you emby, if that makes sense. I also grew to dislike Plex, the UI detached from the base system, the continuous bugging, (it was also very slow for me, and buffery), but I got a lifetime license for emby and never looked back, I wasn't using anything in particular from Plex, but I also have IPTV + integration with the kodi "filesystem", and auto subtitles + conversion + own music streaming, but yeah if you have anything in particular missing I can maybe help, I kinda like Emby so I'd like to help them grow
Browser progress bars don't tell you "what" is loading. Many sites will say "waiting.." continuously because some ad server or request that has nothing to do with the current content is taking forever. A single-channel, catch-all "waiting" indicator isn't enough. Every major browser is broken in this respect. The "waiting" indicator is also typically only noticed by power users who have hundreds of thousands of hours of experience loading pages and some technical insight. This feature isn't accessible, it's a farce.
Visual-inertial tracking support for Monado OpenXR
All correct (as far as I'm aware), except for the unfortunately common inaccuracy that Dolby Digital on film is AC3. Sadly it's not - it's an earlier iteration of that technology that's incompatible. It must be pretty similar, though.

While I recognize that most of this is standard practice among the data thieves, I thought it pertinent to call out your simplistic glossing over of your data thieving intent.

That's pretty slow solution, matrix demo lags every time car crash occurs. I hope someone will figure out the faster way.
So I'm curious then what you think about short sellers who can bet against Elon Musk, and therefore they're financially incentivized to generate negative press (whether factual or not), and that Elon is very vocal against that practice?

I presume you're primarily referencing his "Funding secured" tweet - which arguably with Elon's pretty solid judgement, he may have well had funding secured - say through verbal agreement - just perhaps not through official legal channels?

It's also arguable as to whether what he's said is misleading or not, and which what he says, what the SEC wants him to do vs. what the Constitution gives him the foundational right to do seem to be at odds.

Because you didn't give any specific examples of his supposed misleading, it's hard to actually argue you further.

You also haven't tied anything you said back to how him buying ~10% of Twitter is awful for society though?

You must also dislike Bitcoin then because the vast majority of what people see, that hypes them up to buy into Bitcoin, is shallow propaganda/is highly misleading - and those people ultimately will lose their money once the blockchain designed to mimic MLM-Ponzi schemes collapses?
Roku has had this for over a decade.
I get tons of recommendations for right wing politicians on my country. Trying to make sense of the recommendations is trying to extract meaning from a novel written by a monkey. It's a waste of time. Just block that section with your favorite ad blocker and live happily thereafter.
Is Nanite "just" software? Was there something that prevented it being invented 10, 20 years ago? Is it that its choices of detail would not be as good as what artists had to manually choose? Or does it rely on modern hardware, and if so, what specifically?
It's not quite clear whether they are shutting the company down entirely or shutting the product and pivoting to something else with a smaller team.
Interesting, I actually think that the indexing and the infrastructure part of building a search engine is much easier now than it was in the early 2000s. It's the ranking that's the hard part. PageRank helped put Google on the map and they've battled the hordes of low-ethics SEO practitioners ever since. I think it's generally agreed that PageRank wouldn't cut it today.

I tried Kagi as the default search engine for a few days and realized just how many little things Google does that I prefer, but never noticed until now. Not strictly related to search results, but things like converting units (Kagi has this, but it didn't always work), getting a time in a timezone (same), shopping results, the QA answers, etc. It's a ton of work to implement all that. For now I switched back, but I'll keep an eye out.
And Boxee had such a better UI than most of the current platforms.

I would be happy if we managed to get it working with the current platforms as it would be preferable to Amazon video, or Fire TV, or even just having multiple apps. The way it mashed together TV shows from multiple providers so I could watch different episodes without switching sites was awesome.
> As a non-military guy, this is what I've always found really nuts about military institutions. In normal life, people do an extraordinary array of difficult and uncomfortable things, and generally learn a whole lot for specific roles in their workplaces, without anybody raising their voice.

I've worked at large orgs, to include F500s and national-tier multinationals with plenty of yelling.

> In normal life, an organization that bullied its employees in the way that's routine for militaries would be considered extremely dysfunctional, and you would expect to see extremely dysfunctional and toxic people flourishing in that atmosphere.

Bollocks. I've worked with plenty of ruthless, absolutely out-to-get-you sociopaths in brand-name corporations that I'd bet most of you'd know. Just cuz there wasn't out-and-out yelling doesn't mean it was nice, and most were far more dysfunctional than the military orgs I was involved with while enlisted.

There is something to be said for not shying away from conflict and having it out.
I was prepared to be super skeptical here, but this actually looks like it could be really good, without all the gotchas I was expecting. I think the only potential hole I see is if you do a lot of db-side code as stored procedures and what-not. I can’t tell from the write up if they can keep those consistent.
Nope total activist investment!
White House to extend student loan pause through August
Yes we do -- as long as it's EKS or ECS with EC2 under the hood :)
I'd say no. But given the trend of people calling 20 hours a week "slavery", demanding debt forgiveness; and such. It seems like it's becoming a minority opinion to let consenting adults make their own informed decisions (and deal with the consequences of them)..
Making spam unprofitable would be a good first step. Rather than trying to detect whether something is spam or not, just target how spam sites are funded: ads, analytics, affiliate links, etc and use those as a negative ranking signal.

You'll still get spam if that's all that matches your query, but now all it takes is for someone to make a page matching the query without the aforementioned items to outrank the spam results. You wouldn't need to append "site:reddit.com" to your queries because the (mostly) non-commercial Reddit results would automatically outrank all the blogspam and listicles.

If ads were downranked it would make a lot of spam/clickbait/listicles unprofitable overnight as they'd rank low enough that the costs of creating & maintaining the spam site/content would outgrow the returns from ad impressions.
I'm curious if this displays the content in Plex's media player or if it simply launches the streaming service's own player.
Looks like Plex Pass (paid [1]) features are all aimed towards people running their own media center and Plex is targeting casual users with free features that the core audience of Plex doesn't care about or use. I understand that the market of people running their own media server is pretty limited but if growth means totally alienating your core (paying) audience then maybe the approach is wrong.

Part of the reason to have a list like this is so people can pick up good security practices without having to think about and understand possible threat vectors.

For example, it's unlikely a lay person would even know that they should be checking that they're looking at https versions of sites and they probably shouldn't have to know that. We as the tech community could easily just recommend them the HTTPS everywhere extension and call it a day.
There is actually a chrome extension that brings it back
The problem with going up against Google isn't competing with features, or even relevance. No one cares about features beyond basic relevance, and relevance isn't enough to get people to switch.

You have to provide an excuse, or perhaps an experience, that gets people to come back. Just one niche, is all you need.

You're not competing with Google the search engine, or even Google company. You're competing against google the verb.

These tools are still going in the direction of making a person sit in a chair all day.

What will really be a game changer is AI that can generate the bulk structure having been trained on our best of the best hand built models and we can iterate on the emotional details.

I’m working on the “bulk structure” part, training models to generate random game worlds that roughly adhere to the rules, look and feel like everyone favorites right now (while avoiding copyright issues).

After that my goal is empowering consumers directly to nudge the styles in their preferred direction.

I’m mostly motivated by the MBA-ifying of everything. My goal now is to just have AI produce new content for me, even if such a thing puts game developers out of a job. I’m starting to experiment with cartoons as well. Optimizing for myself like we do.
You, Sir/Madan, are looking me.

So does this mean Elon can't be blocked/booted on Twitter? I guess a seat on the board is the ultimate blue-check.
> "The Nazis are evil" is also an overused trope and is hardly radical but by reusing it it helps protect us on a civilizational level from actual nazis.

...or helps a dictator dehumanize the population of a country he wants to conquer for propaganda purposes.
I think this is exactly correct.
isn't by definition that very rich people own the media? Or was there a time period where the media wasn't very profitable and the people who owned them weren't very rich?
> instead of just using the ones from stdint.h. Even new ones, that certainly didn't ever need to support ancient platforms and ancient compilers, like libopus.

But stdint.h is from C99, and AFAIK there are non-ancient compilers for non-ancient platforms that still don't fully support C99.

In my teens, the family went to visit our backyard neighbors for a dinner. Normally we kids just hopped over the fence, but for this occasion, we were all bundled in the car.

Roku has had this for ages, but some time ago the results for Netflix were crippled - if you are searching in the mobile app, selecting a Netflix result will bring you to a launcher for the Netflix mobile app instead of playing it on your TV. I haven't the foggiest idea why they would want this behavior but I have to conclude Netflix mandated it for some reason as they've taken other efforts to cripple the Roku experience in recent years as well. If Roku can't even get this working I have a hard time believing Plex will, considering they represent a much more existential threat to Netflix.
> That said, I don't actually like Jellyfin, and I wish it weren't implemented in such a Windows-centric language framework.

That's an unfortunate holdover from it's origin as an Emby fork.

> Once I found out that Jellyfin existed, I excitedly spun up an instance and put all my media on it. It can't handle any AVI videos and lags a lot more than my Plex VM with exactly the same specs.

AVI is just a container format and Jellyfin leverages ffmpeg to do most of the actual decoding work, so that sounds like an issue with the VM's ffmpeg. Jellyfin also doesn't enable hardware decoding by default; could be related? I'm not sure what Plex does (for codecs/etc).
