It’s ok, I’m not expecting an ism zealot to want to seek understanding. That’s a huge part of the larger issue.

But you did manage to provide a fantastic example for me. I appreciate that. From your entering the scene like a MLM stereotype, all the way to that last response. Fantastic, really. More than I hoped for.

That being said, you aren’t legitimately interested in discussion, at least outside of your area of interest, to put it gently, and I really don’t want to upset you any more than I already have. That last comment looked like a struggle for you. Don’t feel like you have to respond.
> I'll often notice the subtitles show off-screen dialog or [off-screen sound] that I am completely unable to hear. Without the subtitles I would have no idea it even happened.

Agree, it's a feature I really appreciate, especially when an off-screen character says something crucial to the plot but hard to hear. I also get to read lyrics to songs on the soundtrack that I would otherwise have no idea of.
It has seeped into even major UK broadsheets like the Telegraph. They printed a sympathetic article on how uncomfortable it was for a steward to award a Russian tennis player the winning prize. Baffling. Usually these sentiments are decried in the strongest terms.

I don't think Don was trying to imply that he's in command of a Russian tank battalion.

Yeah, but the odds of the thing ever actually going top speed are basically zero. Even with a load in the back it's never in a million years reaching that speed.

I Beg to Differ [pdf]
A Ukrainian here - couldn't disagree more with the author. Take a beloved in the West author like Solzhenitsyn, whose "compassion" suddenly evaporates when Ukrainian question is raised. Even a modern sci-fi author Sergei Lukyanenko does not shy away from racial jokes against Ukrainians or Lithuanians in his Dozor books.

Ukraine is a pawn at the world stage, but if the West is serious about battling russia (for its own sake really), cultural front has to be among top priorities.
I've tried to have my Google Play developer account unsuspended by reaching out to a friend at Google and also had no luck. My initial ban was for "After a regular review we have determined that your app interferes with or accesses another service or product in an unauthorized manner. This violates the provision of your agreement with Google referred to above". I had two different apps using this API so that earned me two strikes in one go and then a ban for 'multiple violations'.

They say to submit an appeal at https://play.google.com/console/appealsForm?ts=BMS but if your account is banned you are also unable to access the appeal form.

I really wish there was a time limit on these things instead of a ban for life situation.
I use a normal credit card that I use everyday and they canceled my account for no reason that I can see at all. No reason. No appeal. And they keep sending me email to create ads! This is despite paying for google domain, apps, and google drive space forever.
This is crazy. Talk about supply chain hacks, now even mobos aren't safe out-of-the-box. Although it guess it doesn't even need to be a supply-chain hack if the mobo comes from a dubious country.

It seems that a lot of people want a "dumber phone" but also don't want to give up thing like Maps/Spotify/Quality Camera/2FA app/etc. I am one of those people have found a solution that has worked well for myself. (iOS only)

I use Screentime and give the password to my partner.
I have blocked downloading new apps and websites I waste time on. This lets me have access to useful apps and I can look things up on the internet (but not browse reddit). If can always temporarily get the password from my partner if I need a new app or am traveling.

I highly recommend trying it out if you want a dumber-phone but don't want a dumb phone.
The gun emoji was converted to a squirt gun en masse because #oh-mai-gawd-guns-evil. Yet a pretty decent chunk of our entertainment in shows, movies, and games include (gasp!) guns that resemble over the top usage against other human beings, which is fine because it's fake and people are smart enough to draw the distinctions.

Emojis though? Nah, not possible. Too triggering.

I'll be sure to ask Google and Apple to ban the Peach emoji when I accidentally bite into the pit and need tooth repair.
True to a point, but I would still like to be able to get alerts from my partner.

Those are alerts that you would still get even with a dumber phone.

I do also realize that you can kinda replicate this with focus mode. But my point is more, my watch has turned into the alerts I care about while everything else is stuck on my phone if I so choose to interact with it.

Recently actually. An accident happened close to my place and one of the car caught fire. The driver died.

How are they more common ? Do you have any statistics about it ?
No, I meant TPM. Media could be bound to have the TPM report certain hashes of the configuration registers that are either already set or TPM sets on system boot. Same mechanism that allows you to only open a document on specific hardware basically or allows an application to check if the system was perhaps compromised.

The passive income for hotspot owners prior to Aug, 2021 was very real, many cases thousands per month for a single hotspot. The HNT coin price was much higher also hitting near $50 creating this incredible hope of easy money and for the early players who could get a hotspot they banked. Then Helium halved the coin in Aug/21 and it's been a downward spiral of HNT prices and software updates. The people who made $$ were the hotspot hardware manufacturers at $400 a pop with a lead time of 8-12 months to get one when the hype really started in Mar, 2021. For most today buying a hotspot would take 6-8 months ROI, but HNT prices really dictate that.

So now with 900k hotspots installed Helium is pushing aside the lorawan network with less mining payouts in hopes/dreams people will flock to buying 5G cbrs implementations costing over $3k per site. Not sure what customers or applications will use this network, something helium still has to signup customers to create value. The network like 5G has range limitations, so you'll have to spend more to go further. If I recall amazon has a competitive cbrs product also. All I know is it's no simple plug/play.

Early adopters really made a lot of $$ with Helium but it's been decline since late last year. It's truly one of the simplest miners to deploy in 5 minutes, but to get value you need a good antenna setup. I'm sure the Helium creators have a huge stash of HNT coins and not really worried.

Isn't that the whole point of mobile ads? Pages are always rerendering and UI elements are shifting around, you are trying to click on one thing and then the layout shifts and... Ka-Ching!

It's like ad fraud but it's technically not fraud.

It happens so consistently that I wonder if the phone is using the accelerometer to predict that you are about to click and where and triggers a layout shift that puts the ad in the right place.
I went down this road in the last few months because spending 800$ on a fucking phone drives me insane.

There is not a good dumb phone. I bought a few and they all had network connectivity or clarity issues. We're being slowly forced into using smartphones made by two data-hungry American corporations and I for one do not like it one bit.
My strategy has been to use Google's parental controls to disable all apps that I had a tendency to misuse. That being primarily web browsers. I left termux installed and can still browse the web, when necessary, through links2. This is text only and javascript free, as you suggest.
I don't think they fell for anything. I think it's more likely that they saw an opportunity to make some money and had a loose enough moral compass to go through with it.

I kind of wish I kept note of everyone who took part in the scam. It will be easy to forget once everyone scrubs their profiles clean.

This atrocious attitude is absolutely why software is such a hellscape of shitty UI and lack of features.

Normies should be eating our table scraps, not dictating how the software is written.

Normies learned how to drive a car. They can learn how to properly compute. And if they don't like the tech, they don't have to use the tech.

OSS is the last bastion of computing for people who know/like computing, because the armies of "designers" aren't selfless enough to donate their time like programmers are. And frankly it is better off that way, the prevailing trends in design seem to be all about limiting options.

Hard, powerful software over push-button appliances any day.

And, to use the car analogy, BMW gets away with this approach just fine.

Not in this article but the same official is quoted as saying:

> Sergey Lazarev, president of the Moscow Chess Federation, told Russian state media outlet TASS the boy did not give the robot enough time to respond to his move, then the robot grabbed him when he reached for one of the pieces.

This makes sense once you understand the Russian culture around victim blame and blame shifting. It’s worse than in America.

Not sure why the BBC chose not to spotlight the piss poor handling of this from start to finish. Highly likely someone wanted some photo op of Russian excellence consequences be damned and then when things turned out poorly “it’s the 7yold’s fault for having an accident with an industrial system we told him was safe”.

work/life balance and work satisfaction! I find a lot of the best compensation is bundled with unhealthy organizations with dysfunctional internal relationships. I’ve worked enough on projects and tasks I don’t believe in (or flat-out disagree with) that I know it’s not worth the stress and dissatisfaction.

Of course, if you don’t find dysfunction stressful, or you don’t really enjoy working in your industry regardless, it’s worth it to max the comp. But I’m happiest with a balance of flexible work, passionate coworkers, little bureaucracy, and slightly less money than I could otherwise make.
imagine train lines that stop at prime number stations. so line 2 would stop at station 2,4,6 like 3 would stop at 3,6,9. if you want to get to station 10 you could take line 11 directly to station 11 and then line 1 back. alternatively, you could use an app to calculate the best route based on when you arrived

> if I got an alert

There’s your problem. My phone has been in DnD for the past 10 years and I’m still addicted and check it way too often.

When I need to use my girlfriend’s phone, it beeps and rings and alerts 5 times in the space it takes to watch the video she’s trying to show me. It’s downright anxiety inducing and I don’t understand how she lives like that.

My phone doesn’t even show the red bubble notification counters anymore. It’s great.
I tried getting an app called BlockSite to work for the last 2 years, but it must have relied on a very unstable API for tracking webpage visits and displaying the overlay to block them, because it was always breaking.

I feel pretty dumb for not thinking of this sooner, but chrome allows blocking JavaScript on specific domains. I literally just yesterday finally did this for YouTube, and I'm excited I finally found something that works.

The channels will all still be there later if I want to watch some of the content, but now I can't just casually start it up all the time.

Also if this sounds useful to you but you sometimes need YouTube, this doesn't block it in the little temporary browser that opens when you click on a link from Facebook messenger. So it's a roundabout way to still access in a pinch when you want to watch a video.
I did too but haven't had my coffee yet. I mean I could see someone collecting them and selling them online for a profit or something. They aren't all that hard to fix. I've fixed a couple I found curbside headed for the landfill, fixed them, and sold locally on facebook groups (i wouldn't even attempt to ship a treadmill/elliptical)

The statement was why Stallman specifically has not had much of an impact, not Linux writ large. and, you're right. The rape comments came late. But let me remind you that it's emblematic of a larger... issue with Stallman's ability to communicate effectively. If you don't think the way Stallman behaves is at least partly to blame for people's ability to take him seriously, I don't know what to tell you.

> For the efficiency part. To be fair, traditional finance as an industry operates as a super inefficient, regulatory-captured pyramid scheme. Shouldn’t be too hard to beat.

They're dense. They don't get it at all.

The "super inefficient, regulatory-captured" part is a feature, not a bug. We want transactions to be reasonably slow and checked by a human somewhere along the way. We want a myriad legal protections.

"pyramid scheme", that's rich, coming from cryptocurrency companies.

Goodheart's law in action.
An economic niche supports one or two overlords, not a bunch of them. You and I aren't overlords. We need a different strategy.

People have become aware and angry that tech monopolies are exploitative. The winning strategy will involve focusing this fuzzy, ambient anger at a concrete target.

Once Pluton outs itself as an exercise in naked monopolistic power covered by a fig leaf of security -- and it will, as all hustles must eventually involve monetization -- the bad optics will be our opportunity to act. Any strategy on our side that involves putting down TikTok is doomed to failure, but if we put the bad optics in front of people, make the connection, and get them to briefly agree "yeeah, f** the monopolies! F** Pluton!" then a political solution becomes possible. Not easy, but possible.

It's a pity that this dialog has to be so reactive and simplistic, but communication at scale cannot function any other way.
Back in the 1980s, the statistics package -- application, really, but this was before that word had become wide-spread in academic environments for that sort of thing -- Statgraphics used -32768[1] for "Missing Value", i.e. "NULL".

Had to fudge our actual -32768 values to -32767.

Well if I stopped at want 2 the rest are fullfilled. 2 are maybes and one was a no notification if there are apps. There are plenty of devices with a not to spec web browser and back in the day people use to write java apps for phones which only used the java api. I thought that might be what the app situation might be if there are apps but I'm completely fine with text+contacts being the only app

Actually I forgot one more requirement. I'd like either a headphone jack (or bluetooth) and music player for when I jog
I bought Nokia dumphones and they didn't have connectivity issues, but I live in the EU. The bigger problem is that a lot of services assume that any phone is a smartphone, and can display images and has a browser.
Overall, probably yes. But contractors and their subs can still take big hits if some contract they were banking on goes to the other guy instead.
It's not a coupon or a promotion. It's an alternative payment method so that Mulvad does not need to store any identifying information about its customers. See https://mullvad.net/en/blog/2022/6/20/were-removing-the-opti... for information about the situation they are mitigating.
It also doesn't mean the solution to every problem is to start an MLM scheme around unregistered securities. Kind of a false dichotomy here. Sounds like the answer is to start services that cost human dollars that don't sell data - and definitely don't publish data on a public immutable pseudonymous ledger for all to see.

The problem is that as you said, when the rubber meets the road, the customers don't value privacy - and at the end of the day they're the ones paying.

All the major platforms were built without ownership and without privacy, and this didn't hurt them in the slightest from being some of the most valuable companies in human history. I'm not saying I like it either, btw.
I mean, everyone installing some kind of time management software is trying to offload their problems to an app, instead of dealing with their own issues of e.g. distractability or seeking low energy distractions.

I think low energy distractions are fine, within reason though. As long as they don't start to affect other things, like sleep; if they do, you need to do some self-reflection and leave it alone.
