Agreed. There's even a trope[1] named after the phenomenon, though I'm sure the trope itself was around before it was widely applied to comic books in said 80s.

It’s pretty easy for my family to use Plex just like any other streaming service. The not easy part was my responsibility.
They might think it’s OK to say “fuck”, as long as they only say it once every 120 minutes!
Certainly there are many, many bots. BUT, I have personally noticed a resurgence in snapchat popularity. It did indeed die, but it came back after (I think) people have gotten burnt out on the super public nature of Instagram.

Snapchat is more amenable to having a "persona". If you make an second account on Instagram, Instagram will literally start recommending it to the followers of your main account.

So Snapchat just allows for a use case that Instagram simply does not. Instagram is the new Facebook. They are not friendly to being anonymous or pseudonymous.
Where did you get a Nuka Cola cap, off Etsy or something? Or from the limited run of Jones sodas?
The answer is in the article. Young people do.

How old are you?

No one I know uses it, but that makes sense to me. I'm internet-old now.
> Therefore, that’s not true.

Your argument doesn’t follow. GP claimed that in-person is better, not that it prevents companies from collapsing.
Huge difference between ages 7 and 12. If your 7 year old is watching hardcore porn on the internet I'd say that is a problem.
A vertical list is a waste of horizontal space when it's a list of movie posters. They go with the carrousel for better or worse because it lets you quickly scroll through categories without scrolling through every item in a category. If you want a grid, its basically what they have.

If you just want more search options, I agree but the search layout is also already a grid.

I'm asking for a specific implemented app that feels better in practice, not just something you think might work better. There are subtle issues with getting this layout right. Its not as obvious as you say when you need to deal with crap remote dpads and no keyboards.
Doesn't Endgame literally have Thanos being decapitated? I don't think it'll scar most kids but I don't remember any decapitations happening in the Dark Knight movies.
I don’t know about virtuous but the clear difference is fishing and fixing cars produces useful byproducts: food & working transportation. Playing with the PC may do that but usually video games do not unless you are making them yourself.
Sorry, but no. That’s what I find difficult to understand - let’s say I want to watch a movie and ready to pay 5$ for it - why would I watch it in Hd or even 1080p if I have 4k TV? I understand that Google has only HD option for me, but why would I want it if I pay? In my mind if I pay - I should get every technical option possible to watch it, otherwise raw files are just few clicks away and I already paid for my broadband.

As simple as that.

The problem, for me at least, appears where some legal rights damage technological usage.

How many times my Netflix downloads will “expire”? Is this milk or something? Why do they need to expire? Sorry, but I refuse to understand…
I mentally cannot process "Latinx" to be pronounced as anything but "Lah-tinks". I am prepared to be fully shafted if I ever have to say that word outloud at work, because people seem to visibly cringe when they hear it pronounced this way.
If these are 1,000 year old coins found in an archeological site.... who do the coins "belong" to that were "robbed"?
I'm certainly not denying that. But to try to claim that the server doesn't know the real password is completely false. Whether they hash/salt the stored value is completely irrelevant to the point that you have to trust the plaintext password handling end-to-end since the server can do anything it wants with your real password.

What if most of my enjoyment of a cookie is looking at all of the pretty designs and crafty details on the cookies, and I don’t actually care that much to eat them. Is it stealing to go into a bakery and look at the cookies, then leave? I’ve gotten all of my enjoyment for free, after all!
I mean, I'm confused why you think the vice authors live in a world where landlord is a slur. It's not. It's a commonly used term and a small number of progressive individuals have manipulated the media and their followers into thinking it's terrible. But it isn't. Hence, my request as to why you think the Vice authors "wanted to use a slur", since it isn't.
You might want to setup Slime using Quicklisp and give it a really good try. Simple interface to learn, especially if you use Emacs menus and don’t try to memorize all the command key combinations.
They've said they are introducing a reduced subscription fee with ads, not adding ads.
It's really eye-opening to go shopping for clothing for a 3 year old and see that half of the clothes are covered in characters from media that won't be age appropriate for the wearer for another 10 years.
Thanks - this gave me the kick in the ass to switch from Gmail to FastMail.
Going back to the original H&P texts and RISC philosophy, there is a claim that auto-increment addressing modes is too expensive due to the extra port in the RF + scheduling complexity. For an instruction set that should support embedded in order dual issue processors with math intensive loops, this is arguably a "weird" omission in the base line.
I even have Plex set up with (mostly) ripped DVD content but I still subscribe to a few streaming services and buy/rent a la carte now and then. The fragmentation is annoying but subscribing/unsubscribing is pretty low friction. Though I wouldn't be surprised to see more discounting for longer subscription terms.

Of course, what was (past tense) also annoying was paying $100/month for a cable bundle that I rarely watched.

It's also the case that I have access to a ton of video and don't consider much to be "must see."

And to the topic at hand, I may very well cancel Netflix one of these days. There's some stuff I haven't watched yet but after I get through that I may well drop it.
This is already happening and was happening even with them going to the office. You only have to look at how many people are perpetually glued to their smartphones and monitors, even in the office, the moment no one expects them to do any hard work. The office is not a solution to perpetually doom scrolling social media when almost everyone in the office does it, and the few who don't aren't there to police others.

Besides, there are various problems with this. It isn't just the younger generation. A lot of younger people do resonate far better with people online than the senior who was spared several current-day problems that the younger generations now face. Finally, creating yet another dependency with the office seems like a bad idea when so many have already shown to end up extremely poorly. Teach people to interact in person outside the office instead of having companies act like an adult daycare.
I obviously missed the NoSleep.js at the end ... but then I wonder: what is then so special about this website?
They are writing the passwords to users' disks at least, which by itself is already really bad and easily avoidable.

Agreed - I won't even try most things that are apps.
I wouldn't call it 'cheating', but there are a lot of labor law and tax issues with having employees in different countries (or states in the US).
The only reason CNN still exists is because it's bundled with cable and everyone gets (and pays for) CNN on a basic cable tier. The brutal truth? Almost nobody watches CNN unless something very significant happens. On the flip side, almost everybody with cable pays for CNN.
FAT has serious limitations wrt filesizes, it is not good enough for interop use. Even Microsoft's own Windows install media has a problem with it.

exFAT is better, but it is also quite recent development on Linux, since it was licensed and only in 2019 that Microsoft publicly said, they would not ask for any licensing and the specification became publicly available.

Both of them are quite unfriendly to flash memory, but exFAT is good enough.
1 quick search later.. Yes they are 2 "cores" and 30GB storage, "discounted" to just under 20 bucks per month (+VAT) - in a 3 year term.

For anyone out there that's not content outsourcing their views to a mob with a bone to pick:

Urbit is not intentionally obfuscated. It's intentionally different from the rest of the modern software stack, because that's the point. It makes sense that that would make it look obfuscated. There are claims out there that it was in fact intentionally obfuscated years ago in its early days as its founder's personal project. Maybe? Not sure. Regardless, things change and this project is over a decade old.

If you find the state of discourse here off-putting, malicious, and obviously ideological, like I do, and would rather see for yourself, I'm happy to onboard you to Urbit personally for free and show you what it's actually about.

Follow our Getting Started guide (https://urbit.org/getting-started), boot a comet for free, and send ~wolref-podlex a DM, and I'll get you a planet.
I'll try but by all mean do your own research, it's not in my comfort area of expertise.

It refer to System Integrity Protection* on MacOs which when enabled (by default) is supposed to tightly control which and how privileged code is allowed to run at kernel level.
https://support.apple.com/fr-fr/guide/security/sec8e454101b/...

It seems like OP issue is that in order to run a third party legacy kernel extension that doesn't follow most recent guidelines he need to disable this safety altogether for the whole OS.

(And there is a separate issue because the third party legacy kernel installer require all external storage to be unmounted at install time, thus preventing installation on an external storage)

I tried to be clear, english is not my mother thong, hope it might help.

*Edit : System Integrity Protection is maybe the more adequate term instead of secure boot
My take on the situation is that as a movement and political ideology "Progressivism" is steeped in a sense of righteousness. I very much sense progressives have internalized the notion that what they are fighting for is so obviously good, correct, and just that anyone who opposes such self-evidently virtuous things must either be 1) brainwashed by malevolent forces (Fox news, misinformation, propaganda, internalized oppression) or 2) constitutionally flawed people who cannot be redeemed and must be fought against ("Deplorables", fascists, nazis, racists, etc).
"Motherboard" is particularly unbelievable. The motherboard runs the machine. It's a woman in a position of power. Isn't that what everyone says they want?

Au contraire, this is already something I spend too much time thinking about and would prefer to think about less.
yes, I left google because of stupid shit like this.

More importantly: when I was there, I actively fought against this kind of shit, but it was clear at some point that the content moderation team had enough sway with execs that they were going to continue this sort of idiocy untrammelled.
Interesting. I wonder what really happens because I sometimes use this when I need to send an Authorization header to a location behind basic auth.

As far as I know only Nginx accepts multiple Authorization headers.
Thus further evidence of neurolinguistic programming being real (or people believing it’s real).

Shape the language people are allowed to use and you start to shape their thoughts as well.
> Generally, home devices you might automate are things you interact with -- locally. Local controls for a local device work really well, and the simplicity is hard to beat. Home automation wants to interject poor controls between you and everything.

No it doesn't. Only shitty "smart home" stuff does that.

Home automation automates things. There is no need to control, because it happens without needing to do anything. Simple example is outside lights turning on when it gets dark, though you don't need a whole system for that.

More complex example is: inside lights turn on when it's dark and off at an appropriate time only if no one is home.

I'm with you on the local control thing though. I use lots of scenes (one button to control multiple lights to preset levels) but they're all triggered via a button on the wall or an automation. You can control via app, but I almost never use that -- maybe if I'm on the couch and too lazy to get up to change something. Can also be set up to control remotely, but that's totally pointless with actual home automation.
As a kid, Daredevil was my favourite. It was pretty bleak, didn’t seem to bother me.
> We haven't gotten spelling assistance right

Shouldn't you say that we got spelling assistance correct instead of right? Left-handed people might not like to see the word "right" being used to mean "correct"

You kind of trivialized this by saying that if there is no problem there is no need for a solution. But in real life we are interdependent in non-obvious ways, and need more sophisticated solutions than shooting each other.

The need for sophistication is obvious. Protecting your land is an easy case, but wouldn't you want to protect your future interest too and have a say in what I'm allowed to do on my own land, if that is something that could permanently damage the ecosystem in the long run. Or if I start selling unsafe, addicting products, the libertarian approach would be to let everyone decide for themselves, and subsequently fend for themselves. But isolated people are more suspectible to manipulation, and children too, everyone can be. The libertarian approach would be to leave people behind in the name of self-governance.

The question isn't even should self-governance be our goal, the question is whether it can exist at all. It's kind of an oxymoron, because nobody can protect their rights just by themselves. Building a trust infrastructure is perhaps more important.
> I said motherboard all the time in meetings and chats, never had any pushback. TBH if I did get pushback on that one, I'd bring it to HR and say the pushback was affecting my ability to get work down.

Uh huh, I'll stop stealing from you when you stop stealing from me.

Advertizements everywhere stealing my attention, public space, and landscape beauty. Stealth taxes on empty hard drives and other storage media. Hardware-destroying rootkits and other malware (lost a DVD drive to DRM, will you reimburse me?). Draconian control mechanisms and lobbying stealing my control of the devices I own. Mountains upon mountains of disposable plastic promotional crap stealing my planet and ecosystem.

I'm not stealing from you. I'm extracting some small reparation for the many toxic behaviors your industry engages in. When you start offering an honest product I'll start honest buying. And I do - I pay more combined to good people producing good content via Patreon than a monthly Netflix subscription.
Exactly and progressive tax is just the nail in the coffin. I'm honestly shocked at how high my quality of life is right now on a £3k/month budget—for both me and my wife.
Men were turned down with vague excuses like “not a culture fit.”

That excuse might have been entirely accurate though. Most men are indeed not willing to participate in such a blatantly sexist culture.
The reason I can't stand the superhero films is a combination of them being shallow and taking themselves so seriously. Even the humour is shallow and manages to take itself seriously.
Bandwidth, storage, and hosted servers aren't free. Neither are staff.
Mozart also produced a lot of rubbish low brow humor, Shakespeare is full of cheap dirty jokes.

What you have is a value judgement of the golden age conservatism nonsense imagining the past as so much higher quality. The truth is that superhero movies are the latest incarnation of a type of entertainment which is as old as the oldest human culture we know about. The Iliad is the same kind of entertainment in a different format. Commentators said the same about gladiators chariot races in the Colosseum. There are dick jokes scrawled on the walls of Pompeii.

The childish attitude is making a dichotomy between childish and adult things and criticizing the childish things pretending the latest incarnation is somehow a new kind of thing.
I've been following Urbit for years, and honestly I still don't see the use case. It seems like its intended use case is to be a network where you can't disseminate your data across the network unless the "lord" that issued you your address space allows you to do so.
> when it's quite literally modelled after his feudalist beliefs

Okay, but aren't most P2P networks modelled like this? You have client-servers, relays, and super-relays.

The only difference is the amount of buy-in required to run a relay or super-relay. But the amount of buy-in can also be compared to the cost to run an Eth2 node. It's a proof-of-stake network, essentially.
Before the archeologists had a chance to rob them first.
Personally I think where this is headed is self-sorting into fully remote and fully in person. I think smaller companies will want to choose one or the other, and that larger companies could perhaps choose at the level of fairly granular orgs. I think "hybrid" and having different options within a single team is unlikely to be a stable equilibrium.
> I suspect this dynamic will be with us forever.

The Internet has made clear the sheer number of economists who are also epidemiologists, constitutional scholars and military affairs scholars. This carnation letter could be considered a more whimsical and innocent example.
Perhaps a more appropriate question: Why did NFLX jump from 363 at the beginning of the pandemic to 690 at the peak of the tech "boom". Was it really worth that much more?
> the content is usually rubbish

There is a fair amount of good content, in both video games and comic books. Both are fairly reasonably considered art. I don't see a lot of people saying we should destroy art museums because they're escapism.

Yes, there's a lot of bad video games and comic books, too. But I dare say exactly that is true of arts, books, and a variety of other things people widely consider worthwhile forms of entertainment.
No, those folks are not there just to get a paycheck. They are evangelists for a viewpoint who use their moderation powers to eliminate thoughts they don't like.

And yes, those teams really did come up with their determinations of what was OK and what wasn't, based on their own beliefs. That made that quite clear in their repeated, stupid posts on memegen.
Yeah, McCarthy's one of the (simply the, perhaps?) most famous living English-language "literary" fiction authors around (had a somewhat-popular movie made based on his The Road, even) so if you don't keep up with that sort of thing you might not know him. Leibniz' work on monads[0] would be at least passingly familiar to anyone with even a little philosophy background, but could otherwise have been missed.

If it makes you feel any better, I may as well be badly afflicted by dyslexia when I try to read a mathematical statement with more than a couple simple terms.

[0] I'm digging way back so this might be a little off, but fundamentally it's a solution to the Problem of Evil[1]: Leibniz puts us each in a "windowless monad" of a universe—sort of individual pocket universes—such that all the people we interact with are actually automatons of a sort. In this way, a person can do evil (i.e. sin still exists), but not actually inflict it on anyone else, if that makes sense. Meanwhile, bad things happening to you in your personal monad aren't actually evil because... I dunno, it's been a while so I don't remember exactly, but I'm guessing it comes down to "God works in mysterious ways". Basically, he replaces true causality with a kind of divine harmonic dance of actually-not-affecting-one-another things and people that make up what we call "reality". Nb. his actual argument is far less dumb than I'm making it seem.

[1] The Problem of Evil can be summed up in the child's question: "if God's perfectly good, and created the universe, why does evil (apparently—that part will matter a ton for some people who try to address this) exist?" Lots and lots of theologians and philosophers over many centuries took a crack at the seemingly-simple question—and in fact, one of Leibniz' notions, that the world one experiences is "the best of all possible worlds", was famously parodied in Voltaire's Candide, which is another way someone with a humanities background might have become familiar with his philosophy.
I don't hate introverts. In fact, I've become a little more sheltered than I was during the pandemic. My best friend is an introvert. Several acquaintances as well - people who are intelligent, kind, thoughtful, and in some ways better than I am.

But that doesn't make it a healthy lifestyle when taken to the extreme.

As it applies to work, I feel there is a war going on between those who recognize and remember the social and professional benefits of working in person and building professional relationships, and those who don't.

I think extreme introversion is as unhealthy as eating poorly and refusing to exercise. Running isn't always fun, but we do it. Interacting with humans isn't always fun, but we do it.
Anyone know why they had so much trouble making the coins round? In fact I feel a lot of ancient metal work looks a bit non-symmetric (dare I say sloppy?) - though there doesn't seem to be any technical limitation at play
Yeah, the article mentions recipients of the toxic blood. I wonder if there will be more research to identify any risks for recipients

> The logic in removing them is simple: PFAS work by binding to serum proteins in the blood; removing some of this blood, therefore, would lead to the reduction of forever chemicals in the bloodstream. As to the question of what happens to recipients of this blood: “Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances are ubiquitous, and no threshold has been identified that poses an increased risk to recipients of donated blood components.”
Absolutely agree… ads would be the death blow for me. Have cancelled a few times in the past because just don’t have a lot of time to watch TV. Ads and would never go back
Since when is black and white primarily a racial thing anyways? It seems a little inverted, like a black flag or a black mark on an account, it’s not like it’s called “negrolist”, black and white are colors before they are slang for race/culture. Maybe instead of neutering the dictionary we could try a different angle and quit lumping people into “white” or “black”? Some people are Kenyan, Irish, Nigerian, German, nobody is actually white or black.
