> I don't think this problem should be solved by Cloudflare. Cheap domains will always exist and they shouldn't be a problem. The problem lies with Google and its failure to detect these spam sites.

The problem exists outside (Google-controlled) web: with (not fully Google-controlled) email, too.

Around 2020 I did a per-tld checks on wanted/unwanted messages (ham and spam). With thousands of messages sent from .xyz domains (envelope sender host or PTR record of sending host; I ignored the From header) there wasn't a single legit message. 100% SPAM.
Sorry, wouldn't that simply constitute security by obscurity?
I was actually reading the other day about beavers and supposedly as much as 10% of North America was covered in beaver-built reservoirs and ponds. There were a lot of beavers.
> LTT has certainly helped to force devs to "think" about the usability of the software with regards to "unwashed masses" to put it bluntly. the workflow that an expert is "expected" to know and easily get used to won't cut it for "normies" and that needs improvement.

What's LTT? I don't think you mean Linus tech tips?

But I don't think every DE should necessarily appeal to everyone. That's the mistake that macOS makes. I like my OS and DE to be technical and configurable.

To pull it a bit more into the extreme end: many people love i3 but it will never be for "normies".

Not a fan of flatpak either by the way but I'm not even using KDE on Linux (I use it on FreeBSD) so I'm not bothered by it.

> i dont think the "normies" should have to go and scour the internet for drivers and then spend hours learning HOW TO INSTALL drivers without breaking the system, why can't we have nice things?

Installing drivers has nothing to do with the Desktop Environment :) But the OS underneath.
This is an insane worldview. I hope you’re around to see the mental health issues this will cause on children who had their natural development destroyed by pharmaceutical companies and dumb parents.

There’s nothing bigoted about this, and you’re just using that language as a political weapon to demonize and guilt dissent.

That's good news for me as a KDE user who obviously run GTk apps and gets exposed to the GTK file picker too often. KDE made a very good job making GTK look good in Plasma with the Brise theme, the file picker is almost the only annoying thing (with the header bar that a bit too big, but that's not a big issue).

I just open files from the terminal or CTRL+L paste the path most of the time though, which works fine on the GTK file picker too, but the terminal cannot be a solution for everybody.

I’m sorry to hear you had to experience your family breaking.

Lying to them is a disservice - breaking a marriage has always been taboo for these consequences - risking ruining the childrens future families. Our actions ripple through the generations. The truth may make them feel agony at their realisation of their actions consequences, but without truth, we can not navigate in this world.
In addition to what was already said, there definitely is and has been many moisture issues on walls and exteriors in new construction. A condo building near me had to have its exterior completely torn off, and lots of sheathing, insulation, cladding, etc replaced due to a botched install of EIFS. Google for “EIFS failures.” This was a big problem in the 80s/90s or so but apparently it’s still happening, at least with subpar builders.
Thanks! But from what I can see in sources (please correct me if that’s wrong), it is not a vpn, and a regular vpn client cannot connect to it. Nice idea along the lines of SOCKS proxy.
As the article quotes, in C the lack of standardisation makes this tricky when you want to support more than one compiler, or even when you want to support just one compiler (cf email about the hacks to make it work on GCC with PIE).

I prefer KDE to Gnome because it feels snappier and seems to prioritize functionality over aesthetics - and the aesthetics can be tweaked to look a lot nicer than the default.

I’ve drastically reduced the amount of shopping I do on Amazon, mostly due to my perception that it’s become a toxic waste dump. Amazon is good at getting stuff to you quickly, but the prices are nothing special and the shopping experience is trash. It’s much more satisfying to order directly from the manufacturer (usually with free, reasonably fast shipping) and know that what you’re getting is genuine.
I think that all the analysis I've found with a quick search isn't very helpful.

The seller had to sue to either obtain payment or void the contract or else spend energies and time pursuing payment by persuasion whilst the entire time granting the ostensible buyers a free call option on FOB Liverpool cotton. My cynical guess is that regardless of evidence of foreknowledge about the duplicate ship names, Lloyds Register [0] most certainly did exist and importantly was considerably more accessible from Liverpool than India. Seller's imperative wasn't recompense but prior to marketing the cargo and taking profit, obtaining title and clean hands. Why go to so much effort? Letters of credit access and costs issues that could have been affected by a impossible distance impedance to necessary restorative PR.

Edit:.. evidence of foreknowledge..
I was sorry to read that. I lived for 3 years on an alley, directly connected to street where the street car line was in Moscow, Russia (we were calling them "trams"). I was able to see and hear trams from my windows on a third floor (which literally means third, we didn't call first floor "ground" or "0" in Moscow). Hearing a tram was a bit troubling for a first week, but then I think I just got used to it and my brain filtered that out. There was no significant vibration, even with older cars, new ones were almost silent.

Commute from my home to the office was about 12 minutes, and the schedule was almost always to the minute, except several days in a year when failures or traffic jams messed things up (in Moscow trams has their own lane most of the time).
I've seen people saying "Alaska shows that nuclear is needed, as wind/solar don't work well there." They don't mention that the average power level on the largest grid in Alaska is just 600 MW. And Alaska is densely populated compared to, say, the northern half of Canada.

I tried the KDE spin of Fedora recently but it was just too buggy:

- Right click menus didn't open in the right place when using a second monitor

- Basic applications like terminal and Dolphin often took more than a second to launch when they should have been instant

- I didn't really like Dolphin and wanted to go back to Nemo. There was a nice setting option to use a different file manager -- great! Except Nemo couldn't launch any programs for some reason. (Double click and then... nothing)

I searched for fixes for all these issues but got nowhere. I posted a bug report for the right click problem and somebody said it was a known problem with qt upstream that was therefore unfixable.

I think KDE has a ton of really cool design decisions and ideas and I love the customizability, but ultimately these bugs were too much and I went to Fedora Cinnamon.
Yes, but it's linker-specific and non-portable. It can also come with some annoying limitations, like having to separately provide the data size of each symbol. In some cases this might be introspectable, but again comes at the expense of portability.

ELF-based variants of the IAR toolchain, for example, provide a means of directly embedding a file as an ELF symbol, but without the size information being directly accessible.

GNU ld and LLVM lld do not provide any embedding functionality at all (as far as I can see). You would have to generate a custom object file with some generated C or ASM encoding the binary content.

MSVC link.exe doesn't support this either, but there is the "resource compiler" to embed binary bits and link them in so they can be retrieved at runtime.

Having a universal and portable mechanism which works everywhere will be a great benefit. I'll be using it for compiled or text shaders, compiled or text lua scripts, small graphics, fonts and all sorts.
You'd have a comparable number of bug fixes for any such big DE. It's just that KDE communicates on this. And if you look closer, the stuff being listed is often niche, not blocking or affects relatively new features. There are not a lot of regressions. I blindly update KDE these days, and use a rolling release distro to benefit from the improvements quickly.
When the Elders die in large numbers, unexpectedly, the cultural knowledge of a people takes a rather large hit. Preserving that cultural knowledge is so important because the removal will negatively affect their lives because of the holes left.
Whatever domain name is cheap is going to be plagued by spam.

I think in recent time, .icu and .xyz have been the most problematic, to the point where you to this day probably don't want to host a mail server on those domains.

The same with cloud providers. A fairly significant amount of sketchy websites seem to be hosted on cheap cloud providers with weak rules enforcement. I've taken to blocking all of Alibaba's IP ranges from my search engine crawler, the signal to noise from those sites were so bad it just wasn't worth looking for legit content.

10 years since the type-ahead find bug was opened on Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=681871

(bug now moved to Gitlab: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/1157)

7 years since a patch was provided to fix the issue.

Still waiting.

Note that this was a feature that Gnome used to have, but removed. Windows Explorer and macOS Finder both have the feature too.

I think you misunderstand what "economic lifetime" means here. It is mostly relevant for tax purposes.

In other words: if you build a house for $X and live in it then for tax purposes it is assumed that (on average) after a 100 years you must have been spending $X for maintenance so that you can sell the building for $X. If you have spent more money, then you can't deduct that from tax (exceptions exist).

Or in yet other words: if you don't spend anything for maintenance then after 100 years (on average) the building will be worth nothing, meaning that it will cost the same to rebuild it compared to fix it.

But since most people maintan their buildings, i.e. fix the roof when it starts leaking, fix the doors and windows when they break or are not airtight anymore etc., buildings are much older than 100 years. 100 years is the _minimum_ time before it's even worth to rebuild on average.
I'm making a small browser extension framework for hacking/modding
I made a small framework to build browser extensions with Typescript and React: "VFE" (I have no creativity).
It's more focused on hacking/modding things, this is the reason why it supports 'natively' page script(a script that runs directly on the web page allowing you to do hooks and whatever you want on the page).
Currently it supports cross browser build(chrome/firefox), automatic extension reload on file changes and allows you to customize webpack configuration(add plugins and so on).
The current goal is to make some API to facilitate request rewriting and communication between the scripts if you don't want to put all the logic on only one of them.
To create a project you can follow the repo readme, it's only 1 command :)

Recently I made a jstris bot extension using the framework, you can checkout it here: https://github.com/vanflux/jstetris-bot

Could this be useful to you? What can I improve on that framework? What features could be good to have?

> You can go pretty far down the rabbit and explore questions like, "What is sentience?" "Do humans just respond to stimuli and repeat information?" etc. None of these questions are tested here.

Would that make a difference? Being trained on a sufficiently large corpus of philosophical literature, I'd expect that a model like LaMDA could give more interesting answers than an actual philosopher.

> The problem here is that we know how LaMDA works and there's just no way it meets the bar for sentience, no matter where you put the bar.

I think this argument is too simplistic. As long as there is a sufficiently large amount of uncertainty, adaptability and capability for having a sense of time, of saving memories and of deliberately pursuing action, consciousness or sentience might emerge. I don't know the details of LaMDA, just speaking of a hypothetical model.

While there is a good deal of understanding on _how_ the brain works on a biochemical level, it's still unclear _how_ it comes that we are conscious.

Maybe there is some metaphysical soul, maybe something that only humans and possibly other animals with a physical body have, making conciousness "ex silicio" impossible.

But maybe a "good enough" brain-like model that allows for learning, memory and interaction with the environment is all that is needed.
> ... and for a 1000 years, nothing happened, no progress except for a few individuals who dared question religion.

This is categorically untrue. The people you claim questioned religion merely questioned mainstream religion, galileo and newton were very very religious(as in organized!) and I could name many more. The Arab world and Chinese civilization contributed manu things that were foundational to western developments from mathematics to gunpowder and those people were very religious.

I don't care what you believe and that is precisely my point. The madness I see and the source of so many modern problems is that people like you could not be bothered to convince your fellow voters of your beliefs. I guess what they say about becoming what you hate eventually is true. You don't believe people's beliefs should be represented by their govenrment unless that belief is correct according to you. Meet the old boss,same as the new boss? It is your line of thinking that has led to anti-vaxx people, flat earthers and climate change deniers because of the arrogance with which you demand you are right because of science and religion or anything not conforming to your correct view is madness. Your dismiss others and try to find any way to achieve your goals except to convince those who disagree with you because they are after all mad? Because it takes too long and too much effort? Because you don't know how to communicate your views to those you disagree with without insulting them and their beliefs? Not so different from catholics and manifest-destiny american Christians are you now, except they convinced enough people to carry through with their objectives?

I am not trying to convince you about the plus side if religion but that the end or how correct you are is irrelevant. Short of civil wars and dictatorships you will just have to convince people and the government will just have to represent the beliefs of its people whatever the end maybe so long as the rights of the minority is respected.

As much as I'd like to try KDE again after so many years - I can't really bring myself to.

All UI elements in all tools\popups\etc are all over the place.

KDE is a great engineering project without any thought (sorry, just a personal opinion here) given about visual aesthetics.
No you don't. I had a .it domain too, yes there is a field in regstritation where you should enter a "identity card id", but I didn't have one so I entered something random. Worked of course.

I would not think he has had such an impact on devs, though. On the KDE side, it's just that they've been caring about usability for a while and this video is relevant.

After years of using hacks in MS Word trying to make my CV look the way I wanted, one day I bit the bullet and wrote it in LaTeX.

Having used troff for writing man pages eons ago, this blog makes me interested in learning groff to re-write my CV in it and compare the experience with that of LaTeX.

If this thesis is true, I wonder why so many hacker/maker-spaces struggle to make ends meet.

Is it that the people who are receiving this value don't see (or can't correctly estimate) the value? Or that they see it but due to circumstances can't currently pay for it?
