I was in Ukraine yesterday. That is 100% untrue.

When you're in a war zone, even if you're in the country but far from the action, the only thing you can think about is your immediate survival and the survival of your friends and family.

Literally nothing else matters.
no one who is struggling to survive gives a shit. maybe if wealth were distributed more evenly you could get more people on board to care about this.
The FSF doesn't choose what license my work is under. If I decide to use one of their templates such as AGPL and then I add more terms and conditions, it is clear I'm trying to add restrictions. The FSF has no authority on my copyrighted code and what terms I want to license it under.

But the FSF seems to assert that in fact, it was trying to sneakily prevent a copyright author from adding additional clauses if they chose the AGPL as a template for their license, by tricking them into not realizing that any additional clauses they'd add could simply be removed by the users.

This is what I find very preposterous. Luckily the Judge ruled against that, and asserted the rights of the copyright authors to be in control of their own license terms.

It's one thing to licence my code in a way that says, no one else can add more conditions to the use of my code, which is fine and what the judge said applied here, but it is another to license my code in a way that says that my own additional terms are dismissabble and non enforceable, which sounds from the OSI article like this was the intent from FSF.

There could be a question of are you allowed to reuse the AGPL license template if you are to add additional terms? Are there copyright on license templates themselves? But that's a very different debate, and it would be pretty crazy to need a license for the use of a license text. No license template currently provide such a license to my knowledge.

I think the front page is worse than it used to be, and I like commenting early on posts to set a tone.
So far we are grossly understating it to avoid mass panic, is my guess. If people all really understood the impact and timeframes, society would fall apart.
>Tax evasion is seen as a moral problem no matter how you accomplish (so hiding it with your other citizenship is just as bad as using a shell company).

Tax evasion is a legal term, not a moral one. Tax evasion isn't a problem in USA given that it has the highest compliance rate in the world. Jurisdictional arbitrage is a freedom and should be protected as such.

100%. We initially chose to write natively because we thought it was best for our users.
But now that we're putting that work in, recruiting for a less comment skillset, don't have Windows or Linux clients yet, etc... we want to make the most of that selling point.
Judging from the comments here, and the law passing, not only is everyone not annoyed, you are in the minority.
You and I both know very well that software is not something you buy and you can use forever without adjusting it to new operating systems over time.

I don't have a problem with the model, I have a problem with LIES.
You're right.

On Windows, the current "native" UI toolkit is WinUI.

I quoted "native", because it's not really native. It's just what's in active development by Microsoft at this point in time.

Creating a desktop-web-app is just more convenient, because of skill re-use and you know it will continue to work, not only on Windows but Linux and OSX. Web is more mature and will continue to evolve.

On Windows, no one cares anymore if your app has a "native" UI - the OS itself has conflicting UI styles, and most main-stream apps are different.

Not the way I like things, but it's the way things are.

Disagree. As resolution increases the time to render increases by something like a power of 3. That takes time to catch up to. And it means shortcuts that used to work can't be cut short anymore.

Also, no amount of render muscle will ever compensate for the idiot writer or director who wants superman to yank a helicopter out of the sky without holding on to the ground. That shot will look fake no matter how photoreal you make it.

The thing about a crisis is that it forces you to act on it, right now. Something like being invaded by your larger neighbor is a crisis, because you have to drop whatever you're doing and think about defense, immediately and with all your effort.

The climate "crisis" is a slow boil. Ice caps melt a bit, water goes up a bit, a few houses fall in, no big deal. Drought happens, we have less food, we buy it from elsewhere, no big deal. Hurricanes increase, we fix the damage, no big deal. Everything bad about the climate crisis seems to be localized and episodic, on the scale of how we normally report the news. Put together it may well be much, much, worse, and far more expensive, but the way it happens makes a big difference to whether we do anything about it.

I fear that calling it a crisis trips the wrong false alarm override, there should be some other word. We keep getting told this COP is the last chance, and that we have 10 years at most. But we're still here, so we think the warning was overdone, and maybe we should just ignore it next time.

We should call it "the generational inheritance of our planet project" or something like that. I don't want to be the guy who screws up a crisis and the world ends, but I also don't want to leave a slightly shittier planet for my kids, and for them to do the same.

> It’s sad really but this is what late stage capitalism looks like.

This is what capitalism hamstrung by government regulation looks like. In many areas builders can't respond to demand and make a profit due to heavy regulation of construction.
Agreed. Which is why I don't think 5% is that bad. It's barely above the average rate between the GFC and the pandemic (~4.25%). But inflation is much, much higher.

The nominal rate should be important right now. The nominal rate in the before times was like 4% interest - 1-2% inflation. Now the nominal rate is 5% with 7-12% inflation.

Normal people are absolutely going to start factoring inflation into the equation. Especially if inflation continues to drive wage growth.
You forgot “doesn’t exist for your operating system” in your list.

It does make a difference to go through the grieving process, denial is a part of it, because it takes radical commitments to break the cycle.

We’re not even close to a radical commitment yet.

We can’t even turn off Russian oil globally, much less fossil fuels as a whole.

But climatetech is (finally) established as a legitimate space.

Now we need govtech to change how we make political decisions.

Because climate change is a symptom of how our political systems work - reactionary & summative instead of proactive & iterative.

I think you have still missed the important distinction between the ASF and the ASL.

Your opinion is based around your interpretation of the ASL, whereas the GP was referencing the ASF - an organisation of people, with their own shared values, that created the ASL. You have not referenced the ASF at all, only the ASL and some general concepts around FOSS, which are not particularly relevant to a discussion of the ASF's goals and values.
> so what do we get by breaking the world?

In the the gobo documentation^1 section called "But what about Unix compatibility?"

> The GoboLinux system layout seems to be a major departure from the Unix tradition. Does this mean all programs need to adjusted so that they work with the new layout? Fortunately, the answer is no. Through a mapping of traditional paths into their GoboLinux counterparts, we transparently retain compatibility with the Unix legacy.

~] ls -l /dev/null | cut -b 45-
/dev/null

~] ls -l /bin/sh | cut -b 45-
sh -> /Programs/Bash/4.4/bin/bash

~] ls -l /usr/include/stdio.h | cut -b 45-
stdio.h -> /Programs/Glibc/2.24/include/stdio.h

> There is no rocket science to this: /bin is a link to /System/Index/bin. And as a matter of fact, so is /usr/bin. And /usr/sbin... all "binaries" directories map to the same place. Amusingly, this makes us even more compatible than some more standard-looking distributions. In GoboLinux, all standard paths work for all files, while other distros may struggle with incompatibilites such as scripts breaking when they refer to /usr/bin/foo when the file is actually in /usr/local/bin/foo.

> You may have noticed that the Unix paths did not show up in the system root listing in the very first example. They are actually there, but they are concealed from view using the GoboHide kernel extension. This is for aesthetic purposes only and purely optional, though: GoboLinux does not require modifications in the kernel or any other system components. But our users seem to like it a lot. :-)

So it doesn't break the world. The faq^2 also indicates this wasn't a change to make Linux more newbie friendly, but in my own words I think it does.

SOMA's issues were already rampant 10+ years ago when I had an office at 9th and Howard, and Twitter was moving in. That it's gotten so much worse is, indeed, a strike against the city.

Plenty of the rest of town is just fine.. but out of towners may not understand that because there are shocking displays all over. And, frankly, there are definitely parts of town I won't park on the street anymore.
> what's wrong with early voting?

By French law, the envelopes are inserted into a transparent box that must be visible by any elector during the voting period. Having the box sit several nights without public scrutiny is not as safe.
What's your point? Their attempt to empathize with the impoverished / war torn is fool hardy and they should try to remain clueless of other people's experiences and whine about their own problems?
Sure but current prices in many areas have only returned to their 2007 peak.
Yeah, I am skeptical.
Speed/traction have little to do with energy efficiency. The cooling adaptions we have allows to outperform most animals in long distance _running_ which is how the whole concept of 'persistence hunting' is based on.

What I was pointing to is energy-efficiency in _walking_ long distances (we migrated long distances by walking not running).

The bi-pedal flat foot heel-strike and roll gait that we have is the most energy efficient gait, the dogs in your example can keep up with us but still spend more energy per mile per kilo walking on four legs.

The downside is that it is actually pretty hard to keep your center of mass on top of such a small Base of Support between your feet.
I fully believe in the climate crisis but this sort of talk is religious extremism. This is what religious extremists say and if you dare to disobey oir question them, you are considered a heretic and should be essentially punished or killed. The New Left has turned into religious extremists.

The climate crisis ISN'T the only thing we should be talking about. We also have problems with straight up pollution, and other things like countries like China that fish until extinction. There are 1000+ Chinese fishing boats parked in international waters off the coast of South America that are fishing until the point of extinction and then bringing the fish back to China, leaving nothing for the South Americans.

There are companies like Nestle whose CEO doesn't believe water is a fundamental right, and places like California and Canada that let it bottle water for essentially free and then sell it for more than gasoline. We have runoff of PFAS polluting water, we have so much pollution from microplastics, we have plastics polluting the Pacific Ocean, microplastics in our blood, etc.

So, NO. Climate crisis is NOT the only thing we should be talking about. That is utterly crazy, and sounds like something ISIS would say.
It does seem that way. Violent crime in us cities is at historic lows, despite a small uptick in the past year or two. You have to assume anyone making a fuss over it is doing it for political reasons.

You either are getting your shit from Reddit or worse.

Here's the link to the video that skips past all of the "broadcast starting in 0:15" crap.

EDIT: 3 minutes in and WOW this is a weird video.
It's not "simple" though, because this affects a lot of people's lives. I mean we're already experiencing what happens when fossil fuels get cut off; record price hikes, record inflation, and it'll have a knock-on effect for years to come.

Of course, this translates to democracy; if a sitting government decided to, for example, force a whole industry to shut down, do you think the people working in that industry would vote for the same party again? I mean granted, this issue is bigger than sitting parties and votes and I'm sure some are willing to sacrifice their political career - or the lives and livelihoods of civilians - for it, but you get what I mean.
> developed countries lowering their quality of life

I seriously disagree with this framing. Developed countries have been artificially inflating their quality of life through cheap energy available from burning fossil fuels. This is an unsustainable practice that will a.) come to end due to exhaustion of said fuels b.) have significant, compounding externalities that are subject to incredible levels of reality distortion from entities benefiting from the economies they intentionally structured to be dependent on said energy sources.

The truth is that western countries have developed too fast through the planetary equivalent of roid rage. We've gone massively into debt, dug into a huge reservoir that is emptying, and the waste products produced by our flagrant exploitation of dirty energy reserves are very bad for the planet.

So yeah, I completely disagree with the "lowering their quality of life" framing. It's true that if you've been going into debt your whole life, and suddenly stop spending like a drunken sailor, your quality of life might go down.
The only mention of section 10 in section 7 is

>All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further restrictions" within the meaning of section 10.

My reading of that is thay it is just referring to the definition of "further restrictions" in section 10, namely

> For example, you may not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.

Strictly speaking, that’s not wrong: it’s only through the Herculean efforts of the army corps of engineers that New Orleans is as unsubmerged as it is.

Don’t forget Hurricane Harvey: we spent ~$170B cleaning that up. It’s never that we can’t undo climate at a small scale, it’s that doing so may bankrupt entire states in the process.
The big issue with climate change is it's gradual.

There will never be a point where "Oh shit, everything has exploded!". Instead, it will be every year that deserts will get bigger, it will rain a little less, and a few more extreme weather events happen.

This will happen just a little bit more year by year.

There won't really be a point where you can say "This was the year climate change became really bad!" instead it will take looking at the current state and comparing it to the year 2000 or 1980 or whatever. And by that time, you've got a full generation that does not remember what those years were like.

That's the thing that scares me the most about climate change. It won't be something that will hurt all at once, instead it will just be a steady increase of bad events. And by the time it becomes unworkable, it's too late.
False. OIDC providers expose an API endpoint for early token revocation. Otherwise it would be impossible for users to LOGOUT.

The insertion of tons of junk metadata in a JWT's claims represents a problem of usage style, not an inherent problem of JWT or OIDC. As a workaround for good data design, the user can be presented with a re-authentication form, where the new token shall replace the old data.
Ignoring the fact that cherry picking the worst headlines says little about the average quality of journalism, I started looking into these claimed headlines and found that many were not in the LA Times, some were not headlines (they seem to be from the article text), and some don't seem to exist as described (like "5G cellular towers causes cancers" and "Volcano caldera ready to wipe out civilization").

I'm not a fan of CEI, but you can see scans of some of these articles here: https://cei.org/blog/wrong-again-50-years-of-failed-eco-poca...

We view it as a hard and temporary tradeoff to be loved by few rather than liked by many.
French ballot boxes are transparent. And you can only insert your envelope when the person in charge presses a lever to open the entry slot. Even for a magician / trickster it would be hard to attack.

But the important thing is that anybody with two eyes (or at least one) and some basic cognitive abilities can understand what is going on and make sure that there is nothing shady going on.

Basically any citizen can take a sandwich, a bottle of water and spend the day in his local voting place from beginning to end and have a reasonable certainty that the voting process was fair.

I think this is very important for democracy. It does not solve other problems (fair access to media...) but at least the voting part is reliable.

Anywhere with lots of people will have murders, that should be pretty obvious. If you choose a population outside of cities of the same size, there will be murders there too.
The poorest people will be hit the hardest. EU and USA will find it relatively easier to adjust given our location and overall wealth.
> less and less people will own the home they are living in

as long as the rent isn't increasing faster than inflation, why should there be a problem?

You don't need to own the home to live in a home. And if you own the home, it doesn't mean the cost of shelter isn't paid by the owner (it's just more invisible a payment).
Yeah, if the 360 had included an internal HD-DVD drive at the same price point we might be somewhere very different.

Return to Monkey Island, Coming 2022
I've got a similar issue: I still have my own source code from a cool little DOS game from 1991 or so (running at 50 or 60 Hz, don't remember which: but in any case it was hard stuff for the times). It's a mix of C and some assembly but... I don't have the tooling anymore and, heck, have no memory whatsoever as to which compiler I was using back then. I still have some .exe and they run fine under DOSBox (for example).

I don't know if my best bet is to start from another project that works/compiles/run and then port my old code to that or if I should first try to compile it again.

I was "wise" enough to backup all my code and assets (gfx, music, sound fx) and executables, but foolish enough to not backup the tooling. I never thought that 30 years+ later I'd like to compile it again.
While there hasn't been a big deal made of it until recently, absentee ballots have been a readily available thing in the US in at least most jurisdictions for decades. I have very rarely voted on election day either because I was traveling or because I said I would be and it was easier that way.
