>I wanted to object (as a happy Telegram user) that I want to preserve message history for all my devices...

Telegram is already useless on that score. Since the other party/ies in a conversation can delete their messages from everyone else's devices as well as from their own. I stopped taking any of Telegram's privacy and security claims seriously when i discovered that gem.

I still use Telegram to keep in touch with a load of family and friends but I have no faith in whatsoever any of their self-righteous privacy & security claims and comparisons with other messaging services. For a very long time now, evey update has focussed on adding moronic cutesy junk like animated emojis and stickers. So it's quite clear that their focus has moved away from being a private & secure messaging service and towards appealing to the TikTok generation.

That's fine. It's their project. They can do what they want with it and [as I said] I still find it useful. I just wish they wouldn't keep on trying to convince people it's a serious secure commmunication tool.
I stopped trying to get it to work over a year ago. This old Reddit thread is one of many where users are asking why the scan is so awful:

That's basically why I stopped trying: the media scanner was atrocious.
If this still builds a dam, doesn't this have the same environmental concerns as any hydro project? Or is there something that makes this less of a concern?

> really only makes sense as a criticism if you think the proponents don't really believe

People who push religion often believe in it though. The question isn't whether one believes it, but whether one is dogmatic about it. The closed mindedness towards new ideas is what makes this sound like religion.
> However, we as human beings can only focus on so many things at a time

Those kind of protests do one thing : discredit those organizations who made them.
Just notice that there are mainly very young people who carry those "protests", who are easily fooled to do such things. Unfortunately for some of them can be a harsh lesson (jail time).
I hold an unpopular opinion that this kind of activism is fundamentally the same quest for transcendent meaning as one finds in radical Islam. This is about people wanting to dedicate their lives to something greater than themselves, their material achievements, and hedonistic pleasures. The same can be said about the extreme fringes of most social activism.

This is exactly what you'd expect from a society where a significant portion of people are alienated, experience their lives as meaningless or senseless, and where free-floating anxiety is rampant. To be sure, you would expect such people to seek meaning, to derive their sense of identity from the group that provides them with meaning, and to exhibit frustration and aggression towards the rest of society, from whom they are isolated anyway and therefore have a tendency to treat as an undifferentiated mass of "bad people". More concretely, you would predict these people chant the same slogans, and respond with extreme defensiveness when the thing that provides them with meaning is criticized.

It should also be obvious that such people are inherently primed for action, and that a bit of money and encouragement is enough to set things in motion.

EDIT: another thing that is hopefully obvious is that none of this precludes the existence of an actual environmental crisis.
Jellyfin seems to struggle a bit with my anime library when the files don't follow a typical western TV show structure, but I'm otherwise very happy with it!
I have to agree with this--a few years ago I started getting into the habit of putting more of my clothes on a rack (esp. anything cotton) and less through the dryer, and no question clothes last longer that way.

Sure - but the point is that it is an indication of their sentiment, rather than anything to do with the running of the company.

It looks like Radarr (and I assume Sonarr) both have features to monitor that the watchlist in plex https://github.com/Radarr/Radarr/issues/5705

It's a clever way to do this without leaving Plex. I've used Ombi or PlexRequests in the past but they weren't my favorite and I finally gave up and used the sonarr/radarr UI directly.
No, unfortunately, it’s not a great player. Speed wise and aesthetically, yes, but codecs…

Blu-rays with Atmos use TrueHD Atmos, while streaming Atmos only supports Dolby Digital Atmos. Infuse does not support TrueHD Atmos, and there is no way to switch between the two, so giving up Atmos for the base 5.1 or 7.1 is your only option.

Similar case with Dolby Vision. Blu-rays use Profile 7, Apple TV only supports Profiles 5 and 8.4. So no actual Dolby Vision streams for you, just HDR10.
I'm not sure what you're saying, but IT and software developers are not the same thing. IT is the support department that support what the developers do by managing the internal tools and hardware that the developers use.

And if you think developer comp is high, in Hollywood the revenue-generators make more for a few hours of work than GAMMA developers will make in a year in a rising stock market.

Clearly the most successful businesses and business people in history agree with my assessment

Objectively false. The most successful businesses in history, adjusted for inflation, are the railroad and oil barons, followed by the Hollywood studios. And note that at least two of the GAMMA companies are now worth less than a retail chain.
Their numbers seem utterly unreal to me. How on earth do you sell $205 billion worth of just a single product (iPhone) every year?

This is simply the greatest business to have ever been created. I can't imagine anything else ever topping it. The margins AND the volume are both insane.
Wow I really never spent time thinking about it as a product but yeah it really was a wasted opportunity. Discovery is terrible and the quality of a lot of the apps are poor. It's obviously not an easy problem to solve but still I only go to the App Store to specifically get the app that I need.
It's a feature recently added to Overseerr.
Those are all great (and I do some of them), but they aren't really going to move the needle. It is a step above a flag on your social media profile pic, but it's just a step and we all need to climb Mt Everest.
I migrated from Emby to Jellyfin pretty soon after the fork, and Jellyfin seemed a bit wobbly fit the first year and a bit, but then really kicked off and it's been stable for me for a long time.

Primarily used through Android TV app connecting to a docker instance of the server.
Apple essentially makes require hardware(iPhone) most people needs and they leverage that to over other hardware and services around it. Simple and effective, not easy to do though!
From the little I've read about just-js, I'm not sure it's even trying to be a competitor with the others for their main use-cases

I think Deno has the strongest overall vision, and it's a vision I really want to see become the new default

Bun is compelling with its blistering pace and its ruthless dedication to performance, compatibility, and Just Works user experience. However, it's still very new and missing a lot of key features, and subjectively it just feels too "chaotic" for my tastes. They're designing it as they go, as fast as they can, but it feels like a wild ride. I'm not sure the creator even knows exactly where it'll end up, and in general it seems to prioritize "does everything you'd like it to right now" over "lay a new, better foundation for how the JS ecosystem works, unburdened by the historical baggage of Node"

Two very different mindsets; it'll be really interesting to see which one wins. Personally I'm rooting for Deno, but I think each of them is pushing the other one to be better.
Did they announce anything in regards to share buybacks? They reduced outstanding shares by ~37% over the past 10 years.

Over the last decade or so I've switched between Kodi (even back when it was XBMC on a literal Xbox [the original]), Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin; currently settled on Jellyfin for maybe a year and a half. I've also had a great experience with Jellyfin and love that it doesn't hide features behind a paywall. I agree that it has caught up with the competitors in terms of necessary features, but it occasionally feels a little buggy or in need of some UX polish. Perhaps one of my free weekends I'll see if I can contribute.

One of the primary features I appreciate that the others have behind a paywall is the ability to download content for offline use. 1 less reason to open up my network's SSH port to the world. The feature is great for trips where connectivity is limited, or just at a friend's house with terribly unreliable wifi.

I run Jellyfin on an Athlon II X4 (12 or 13 years old) with several other self-hosted services. Transcoding anything above 720p causes the entire system to come to a screeching halt, so I've pre-transcoded all of my content with handbrake to allow direct-play 4k content on all my home devices (Firefox, Shield TV, Chromecast, Android client, desktop client).
The situations have more in common than you might think. In both cases, you accept the non-negotiated deal offered to you unilaterally by your owners, or you accept zero revenue.

Basically the same reason Amazon let marketplace become a slum. It’s an open platform and becomes a race to the bottom and full of junk and spam and whoever wants to pay for ads for their junk and spam.
> nothing we can effectively do other than drastically limit the number of people born in the world, but the only way to do that would be unconsiable

The elephant in the room.
No, the serious scientists did not tell everybody in the world. I would challenge that assertion. As to "time for a change in strategy". Sure, why not. Turn off the lights and go home. Remember the quote from the attempted Sunflowers incident:

"Is it worth more than food? Worth more than justice?" ... "are you more concerned about the protection of a painting? Or the protection of our planet and people? The cost of living crisis is part of the oil crisis. Fuel is unaffordable to millions of cold hungry families. They can't even afford to heat a tin of soup".
I will let you think on this. "No new oil" is the supposed solution to unaffordable fuel. And cold.

Sure, no new oil. I guess it is an oil painting. The good news? Maybe they are beginning to learn to not make statements.
You've repeatedly made leaps between what I've said and horrible arguments I never made, and you've never, not even once, admitted to a single good point being made by me - if I retort something, it's never "my b", always "no, let me twist your words, maybe pretend your argument was this strawman". And recently, straight up ad-hominem.

In the future, consider arguing differently.
So long and thanks for all the bits
Same. Jellyfin has been rapidly improving but I still mainly use Plex.

> Retail in North America and International both lost money

Is this pretty much proof that anyone even trying to compete with Amazon is basically throwing away money? That general-purpose online retail will simply never be profitable?

They gambled and lost.
Chiming in to say I love Pushbullet. I find it invaluable for sending things between my devices.

I recently learned that it’s no longer available for iPhone and that if I get a new iPhone I won’t be able to load it onto the new device. It has kept me from upgrading. Eventually I’ll have to but it will be a sad day. I’ve seen a few alternatives but they don’t appear to have the same usability.
During whatever time humanity has left, that is. I'm not sure I want to live in a world where everyone is stuck in virtual reality for 90% of their waking hours.

I guess all those people tethered to their phones 24/7 won't experience much of a change.
No, it's not "exactly what's happening."

At the best, it's a thought-provoking analogy. At the worse, it's a tasteless comparison between software engineering (overwhelmingly lucrative, mostly filled with otherwise well-off people) and a legal loophole for slavery.
Primary and secondary school is mandatory here too. They won't let you go without shots, or an exception (medical, or in some states a religious/belief one). The alternative is that you're home schooled (even private schools are required to mandate the shots).
The good news is, that's starting to happen (in some places). A 5GW and 2GW pumped hydro station - both state owned infrastructure - have just been announced for the area I grew up: https://qldhydro.com.au.

> sole purpose of conspicuous virtue signaling.

I don't understand this sense that everything positive people do is actually negative.

Part of being a good leader is _acting_ like a good leader. You can't be the type of leader who makes people feel special by remembering their name if you don't actually remember anyones name. That means rolling your sleeves up every once in a while. At a 221,000 person company like Microsoft? Ok, maybe that's not accomplishing much(unless the CEO caused the poop-splosion, then it's just good manners) but at a 50 person warehouse? Yeah, sometimes you take on some shitty work. Maybe, every once in a while the CEO is _actually_ the best person to do it. A CEO can strategize while plunging a few toilets, a line worker can't work the line when theyre doing it.
Simply remember what happened. No citation needed.
In an actual apocalypse, you'll find that people are made of meat.
I’m not speaking about your particular scenario but about situations where inflation is actually more than 10% over several years. Salaries always lag, but they don’t remain at 0% increase. The post I’m replying to said that if inflation was 10% a year in food, everyone would starve in 10 years, and it’s simply not true.
Google is Alphabet, just call it AAA.
>I don't know why we're only talking about the PC version anyway

Because the post I was replying to was about the popularity of The Witcher in the west before The Witcher III, and the first Witcher game was a PC exclusive so there are no console sales to factor in to the comparison.
Although this is not ideal, it's also basically not an issue for me. I spend approximately 5 min a month in the App Store.

However, I do a perceive a slight sheen on the slope.
> but to hear that they're doing it because their mansions (which contribute much more carbon than wherever the randos live btw) almost burned down is just stupid and will not help anything.

They are not doing it "because their mansions ... almost burned down". They are doing it because they know that this will distract people from their real actions. And they look like philantropists now which is far from reality.
To be fair they stated it in the most roundabout way (40%-50% cheaper than LFP batteries) and with no time horizon. I think I got that from reports on their recent shareholder meeting but I will have to look it up better.
I had the same reaction. The positive mental health effects of time spent in nature are pretty well documented and, I think, well accepted. Certainly my own personal experience matches with this.

But... "grounding?"

The introductory section seems like the purest of nonsense. I clicked the link to have a laugh. But at least some of the studies seemed... promising? If replicable, obviously.

randomized double blind study

Some were double blind. Others were single blind. Some had no control groups at all.

And the sacrifice required amounts to wearing a patch on your foot when you sleep

I see there are no shortage of new-agey grounding products on Amazon.
Yeah. I had the same problem when I used a 1968 phone book. Those phone numbers didn't work either.

> GF(255).

Should be GF(256). 255 isn't a prime power and can't be a field.

I dunno anything about nim but the GF arithmetic code appears to contain branching on values, so this implementation isn't sidechannel resistant and could reduce the users security if otherwise their use of cryptography would be sidechannel resistant.

I didn't look further, it's common for SSS implementations to contain cryptographic flaws that degrade or destroy their security entirely for the same reason people are advised to not home-roll their own constructions of other cryptosystems.
Node.js before v1 (maybe even until v4) was like this. It took like 5 years.
They don't even have any releases yet, so I'm guessing one would want to harden it before unleashing the masses upon it

They do have a docker-compose file, but it takes forever to stabilize after running docker-compose up. I'm guessing there's some race condition
Things mostly just work. Remember Node.js is mostly APIs on top of JS the language. If those tools compile to JS in the browser, they can compile to Deno. Deno is a more stabdards-based runtime than Node, it's closer to how the browser works.
> Only if you open the App Store… Which I practically never do.

Which also says a lot about Tim Cook's tenure. They are facing major regulatory scrutiny due to the App Store, in addition to it being a major knock on their brand, instead of it being the asset it once was.

It's a leadership problem, for sure.

Yeah, exactly, powershell is easy, but not simple!

ExtJS (on netbeans with windows server 2004) was always my worst development experience, it was my first internship too. That's probably the reason why it took so long (and a bag of money) for me to try JS, an IDE and developing on windows again (I only used Windows for CTFs and AndroidStudio).
I hate the use of the term "housing" when what we mean is "land". Building materials haven't gotten obscenely more expensive. Building labor hasn't gotten obscenely more expensive. Land has gotten obscenely more expensive.

We are also reaching a point where consumers drive the price of residential land less and less. How much difference does the mortgage rate make when the market is increasingly driven by commercial buyers, who don't use mortgages?
Have you heard the joke about the drunk man looking for his keys under the streetlight? A cop comes along and starts helping him, but they don't find the keys. The cop asks "Are you sure you lost them here?" The drunk says, "no I lost them over there, but the light's better here."

To the regular consumer both of those things are tied to the same ecosystem as the iPhone and people want to be seen in public with the latest gadgets. I'm not sure people feel that way about buying a new Mac.
One good example that comes to my mind is audio programming / live coding languages.
Making a press release saying that you are going to do something in 20 years is not a strong indication that you will actually do that thing. Unless a government is taking substantial short-term action that is consistent with that goal, then we should skeptical of those goals, and not put too much weight on projections based on them.
Agree if that is what they were doing. But it is not; the paintings are shielded by glass, and it appears that the "protesters" are specifically selecting artworks with such protection for their stunts.

That said, while I feel very strongly about the need to fix anthropogenic climate change, I can hardly think of anything more stupid and counter-productive. I have no idea how this is supposed actually change anyone's mind or even get the attention of anyone to the issues of climate.

Sure, it makes headlines, and there's the adage that any publicity is good publicity. But that's not true, e.g., while 'everyone knows that sex sells', actual research showed that if the adverts were too sexy, people did remember the advert just fine, but couldn't remember the product at all. Similarly here, it's a shocking crime and puts "climate" in the headline, but all anyone remembers is the awful behavior of these people, so it is a 99% distraction from their intended point.
This is exactly it. If you're serious about climate change, then you should see high fossil fuel prices as a good thing. In reality, few people do.
MBA 102 says you always maximize profits. You don't set a goal and then diversify when existing revenue streams plateau, you seek new revenue streams all the time.

And I don't think iPhone has plateaued anyway. Worldwide, iOS market share has gone from 20% to 28% in the past five years[1]. Apple is working hard to accelerate that growth. They may or may not succeed, but it would take an MBA 101 dropout to accept a 28% market share plateau.

What a company.
Ideally you don’t build a dam.

Niagara Falls sits between Lake Erie into Lake Ontario. Which is the perfect location to use pumped hydro because all you need to build is a pipe between them and put a turbine inside the pipe. If you have excess energy pump water up from Lake Ontario to Lake Erie, and when you need power run that in reverse to generate electricity.

Move enough water and the water level on each lake will change, but 6 inches (15cm) isn’t going to change anything of note and that represents an insane amount of energy. Something like 500 GWh if I remember correctly. Unfortunately that’s literally the best case in the US, nothing else even comes close.

They still provide some guidance on numbers both magnitude and direction, but don't release actual estimates.

I'm confused now.

You claimed to not really understand who makes these estimates and have no knowledge about how they are formed but it sounds like you do know a tiny bit about guidance?

I mean you literally asked how these estimates were created?
