So not actually part of what it means to be a phone then.

Doesn't matter when we are talking about Mastodon.

People don't use email as social network or instant form of social communication.
To be fair, "old hardware" is kind of frozen in time by definition. DSL is what it is. If you want to play with hardware with 32mb of ram, it does what it does. It isn't really an OS you want to "use" or "expand upon". I would not suggest to connect it to the Internet or expect any kind of updates, security or otherwise.

The main case for it at this point is retro computing. Most retro computing enthusiasts run era correct OS (MacOS7-9, Mac OS X, Win9x, DOS, AIX/IRIX/SunOS/HPUX, BeOS, Amiga 3x, etc). Those are not getting security updates either.

I put it in the same category as Haiku, Visopsys, AROS and ReactOS, fun toy for older computers. Not very relevant as day-to-day. I still have and expand a collection of live CDs for the P3/PR era laptop. Again, those don't get security updates, but are fun to explore.

Personally, I am more into Linux window managers (and AwesomeWM maintainer) to recreate the interesting concepts from those OS rather than rice 90s silicon. However I really enjoyed using a Pentium1 laptop full time for a few months in university in the late 00's just to prove a point. But for that I compiled my own OS rather than use a distro. If you want to get the most out of these machine, that's the way.
Likewise, gmail would be totally useless if it was actually centralized and you couldn't email non gmail users.
Absolutely, I still listen to the soundtrack from season 1 & 2, he brought a lot of variety and character to the score. Some of his musical choices certainly do date the show, but its part of the charm.
My 'Status' message on WhatsApp has been "Let's switch to Signal: https://signal.org/install" since January 2021 and I've checked periodically (including just now) and it is visible on other people's devices.

My profile picture is my own face, though. Perhaps, as other people have said, the restriction being applied by WhatsApp is related to your choice of image more than the text?

It makes sense to start with overt discrimination, that's a lot more clear cut

I'd actually go further and say that banning nebulous forms of bias really just makes work for consultants and other rent seeking that tries to craft arguments that some statistical result is or isn't biased. If an organization wants to do that, fine, but government and law should not go down the road of making general rulings on handwavy stuff. In a specific case, the courts are always an option.
Meta and TikTok boosting “Stop the Steal” type conspiracies in Brazil
Is apuration an English word? Doesn't seem to turn up anywhere. Some results in French but the definition is not clear.
As much as twitter, Reddit and Facebook don’t like to admit it, it seems all would tell you that “spirited debate” drives significant engagement and traffic. God knows I’m guilty of it.

I’ve seen “thoughtful” conversation platforms succeed but they tend to be fairly niche and/or heavily moderated. I’m sure the suggestions here would make Twitter something different. But I’m not sure it would be “better”.
The themes are hyperfixated on a few aspects of a utopia and human behavior with complete deafness to everything else. That’s the charitable take. The less charitable one is it is a type of willful indoctrination.
> i feel like devops is just a bucket for lost souls who like tech stuff.

Yup, that's me. I would call my self a generalist with a slight tendency towards cloud infrastructure. But I love ALL the tech!

* Let me install the newest WiFi hardware and rehaul the local network - I'm happy

* Let me dig into the newest cloud-native tools to enhance the developer experience- I'm happy

* Tell me about the small problem you have in a step of your build pipeline - I'll sink 10 days into it and optimize the whole pipeline - I'm happy

* Let me put all the infrastructure configuration into code - I'm happy

The list is endless. The / one downside is that I'm juggling priorities all the time and the backlog of things I would like to do is also - endless.
It is, science just means something different now
In this specific case, it was because McNamara believed that SAMs were too good for the aircraft to survive, and to keep it from being resurrected, he ordered it destroyed. There was no direct follow on program, just spy satellites.
I wish I could believe the implication of the article, that the Mastodon UX improves the quality of discourse, but I strongly suspect that there's one much more important Twitter feature that Mastodon lacks that is vastly more important than any mentioned: Twitter just has far more users.

Eliminating classes of problematic behavior and incentives by way of avoiding or altering technical features is always going to be a game of whack-a-mole. When you get above some threshold—maybe it's some sort of 'relationship distance', or maybe just a raw number of people—then people will always find a way to game the system. I don't think it's a bug or misfeature in the system, though the system can certainly contribute to where the threshold lies. It's a bug in collective human behavior.

So far, the most likely solution to the problem of a mass point-to-point communication system is to not have a mass point-to-point communication system. Shard it down until people are able to behave reasonably well, even if that means you can't communicate with just anybody. That completely breaks some use cases, but it turns out that anything that allows those use cases turns into a cesspool. Maybe somebody can invent something someday, but I'm doubtful that technical measures or UX can ever compete with our rage and other base urges.
Indeed. As Hubert Humphrey said: "Everyone has a right to speak, but nobody has the right to be heard."

Okay I'm wrong. The correct quote is:
“The right to be heard does not automatically include the right to be taken seriously.”
― Hubert H. Humphrey

Maybe if he'd lived into the internet age, he'd have gone with my quote. There ain't time to hear everybody on the net, or Twitter.
Some futures of Bolsonaro winning[1], if you want to take a look at what that (tiny) market thinks (basically 98% convinced of him losing right now).

Brazil has electronic voting since 1996 and since 2000 all elections in whole country are electronic. Therefore results come out very quickly.

Also, voting is mandatory in Brazil for literate voters between 18 and 70. There are consequences if you don't vote, ranging from difficulty renewing your passport to losing your job if you work for the government. If you can justify your absence you can do so conveniently with the e-Titulo app however.
What do you mean? The website would literally be broken by the user's miconfiguration of their browser.
Lawmakers would have to make legacy status a protected class first, presumably.
Yep. Many people that used to love each other split for such nonsense shit

Latin American countries being violently split left/right pre-dates the internet by a long way, sadly.
Many ordinary people live their lives without great passions and interests. That’s absolutely ok. Not everybody is Feynman, Zornader, Da Vinci or… yes… Hitler. There is no Mein Kampf for everybody.
Well, I guess someone should make a lawsuit about that, if people are concerned about this issue.
Yeah had to look it up... something like 'observe' or 'monitor'...?
Love Crystal and love seeing it here more. Ruby has been day job for years, but Crystal is so much fun for side projects and random things to build. Easily approachable, especially for Ruby devs.
> But that source does not speak of US forces.

Rumour has it that the US Military had some involvement in the Iraq war.

> This is exactly what you are doing, yes.

Technically, this is your perception/interpretation of what I am doing.

> You’re picking a number intended to quantify something entirely different and comparing it against mine.

I'm not asserting "my number" (actually, it is just one example among many on that page) as factual, but I get the impression that you present yours as such.

Am I mistaken in that? Do you actually wonder what is true?

>> "Clearly".

> What else would you call Russia repeatedly using low precision missiles to strike population centers? They’ve done this with fucking MLRS, an area denial weapon.

I was just teasing a bit about the phenomenon where humans tend to believe that what is "clear" to them is synonymous with what is true. Feed incorrect training data to a neural network and then ask it questions, and it will give incorrect answers, but to it, the answers would be "clearly" true.

> What else could you call Russias extensive campaign against the power infrastructure in Ukraine? This can’t possibly achieve any military goals this long into the war, the only purpose is to hurt the civilian population.

I would call it: an unfortunate turn of events...yet another consequence of ongoing human folly, and in this case: a cultural inability (reinforced and enforced in numerous places) to desire to speak truthfully.
It really was a non-event.
Agree for age and sex, but gender? Most of us came from a society were there was only two, but ask any hindu about Hijras? So for you Hindus were wrong, but how can they be? Or this is just o society thing (like the color blue being attributed to men since the industrial revolution, and to female aristocrats before).
Why does it always have to be this close sigh
I’m curious about the choice to call this Idris 2 v0.6.0 rather than the more obvious and semver-compatible Idris 2.6.0. Anyone know if Edwin had written about this anywhere?
Is there a non-niche general Mastodon instance that's really popular? That would be the easiest way for me personally to embrace it. I checked a few instances and it's all very niche and very empty.

(To clarify, I don't mind niche instances, just at this stage there isn't enough discussion or interesting profiles to follow.)
a 4.99 monthly expense for accounts have who'm are likely to be world leaders, public figures, large organisations and the odd charity/public good insitute is not a steap price.

Statistically, of course it's a large increase. However from a business perspective I do not think so. A quick search indicates there are 294,000 accounts, and at 4.99 a month that would yield Twitter $1,467,060 a month, which is hardly anything. Especially as I imagine ~10-15% of those accounts will decide to forgo the badge, either in protest or because they just don't care.
You never know what goes on behind closed doors and what he was lead to believe.

Eg The Witcher series it seems Henry Cavill signed on for a different portrayal of the world then what was delivered.
I certainly don't mind if a framework is boring, if it comes with qualities I am interested in. Being boring is not one of them – but neither is being exciting.
(author) I really found it fascinating myself. I really should sit down and bang out a proof of concept.
But they can’t necessarily email you, given Google’s procedures regarding “spam”, i.e. anything from a small email server.
Sounds like a reasonable system. Maybe USA should adopt.
> the user should not have to even consider the threat of their messages being read.

Could you clarify whom you hope that a message should be able to be read by?

- the intended recipient(s)

- parties involved in the intermediate storage system

- middleboxes / parties in the transmission path

- unintended recipients that the intended recipients forwarded the message to accidentally

- unintended recipients that the intended recipients forwarded the message to maliciously
Lower Decks has a super rough start, the first episode is outright painful to watch but it has grown on me a lot throughout its run. While its largely irreverent, it still respects the material with far more care than some of the other new live action shows. I'd recommend that people stick with it for a little bit (like season 1 TNG)
The 2% economic growth rate is an average. It might be the case that the average worker's real wage grows 0% (this is basically true [1]), while corporate profits, which make up ~10% of the U.S. economy [2], grow 20%/year.

There is a lot of Twitter content out there. Too much for a single instance to proxy. I believe there are projects to mirror specific Twitter accounts to a (personal) Mastodon server so you can switch apps without needing two apps. I'm not sure what the implication would be for privacy/data usage regulations if you open those messages to the public, though; blindly reposting everything may actually violate data privacy laws (yes, even if that information is publicly available).

Engagement with the audience also is a significant factor for making social media enjoyable. A read-only mirror of Twitter would be very boring, because you can respond/tag/whatever you want for all eternity, but the Twitter authors would never notice.

Such a system would work for people primarily using Mastodon that cross-post to Twitter; you could add Twitter replies to the Mastodon replies and get a mixed content stream (that Twitter users might miss half of when discussions respond to as-of-yet unproxied messages).
NO update in 2+ years and no support for chart types beyond the most basic, for a start. See here for a list of supported features https://chartscss.org/development/supported-features/
I think your example in Kanye might be a good one.

Maybe his tweet should stay up, ambiguous speech isn’t clearly illegal. Illegal speech is much easier to recognize.
But Twitter probably wouldn’t want to put that tweet on the trending front page or advertise next to it but he has an audience and can continue to interact with and grow his audience.

Minimal regulation as required by law, no moderation, and maximal participation.
I think the difference between your comment and mine is I assumed the parent commenter is complaining about 50mm FOV being too tight on a APS-C sensor, and you've assumed they're complaining that 50mm is too tight on a full frame sensor. Either could be right.

But I think we've all gotten a little lost in the weeds, as the original article was recommending it not specifically because of focal length, but also because of lens speed compared to the 18-80mm zoom lenses now common on DSLRs.
In the long term for what exactly? For the price to keep "going higher and higher"? It's just a ponzi, stay away dude.
This may work for business, where only money is at stake. But the hardest decisions in life are the ones where both options are irreversible. e.g. choosing to have an abortion or have a baby with someone you barely know. There's no reversible way to check the other side of either door.
Additionally who "owns" an IP is public knowledge. So Google could serve different addresses based on from who owns the address the request comes form.

Specially if they are peering(exchanging traffic on equal basis) with ISPs in certain locations, they could give addresses that are closest to this point of peering. Namely some room with big routers and many service providers.
This thread right here is a good reproduction of what is happening to Brazil.
My expectation is 5-4 with kavanaugh dissenting to majority to keep affirmative action in place. Kavanaugh explicitly has only female clerks in order to help resolve the systemic inequality, so ideologically I would expect him to go for it.
> My main refactoring tool in statically typed languages is the compiler: if I break something, it'll tell me.

That really helps. But what's even better in practice is if compiler is integrated into an IDE which can highlight type-errors already while you are editing the code, before you explicitly invoke the compiler. For instance Eclipse IDE does that for Java code.

If you need to run the compiler by hand before you get any error-messages it becomes a huge delay and you lose the immediate feedback which is needed to keep your focus on the code, not on compiler error-messages.
Getting/giving access to the actual code/backend (especially as a competitor!) is a heavily negotiated diligence request.

The seller can simply refuse without even giving a reason.

ITT:

People are throwing around the phrase "audit" liberally. Audit will have a defined (and likely limited) scope and is typically more about compliance, e.g., Do you have the correct number of Microsoft Office licenses per accounting records?
The approval rating for the Supreme Court has never been lower. https://news.gallup.com/poll/402044/supreme-court-trust-job-...
Yeah, it's ironic that Twitter is allegedly more "Nazi-friendly" than Mastadon - presumably this "Nazi-friendly" shift will be due to a pullback on the aggressive, centralized moderation of mainstream conservative viewpoints. But Mastadon doesn't have this to begin with! I guess the argument is that within Mastadon, it's easier to create your own filter bubbles that would allow you to enjoy an experience untainted by "Nazis"?
Fair enough, but I'd wager most articles written about the benefits of the M43 format do bring up the size and weight savings compared to full frame systems.

To me, the smaller sensor in M43 does have a few unique benefits over FF.

* faster readout (less rolling-shutter)

* less power-consumption and therefore less heat-generation (longer record-time limits, more power for computational photography)

* less inertial mass for the sensor & assembly (better sensor-stabilization for hand-held video)

* higher wafer yield in manufacturing (hopefully lower cost , if economies-of-scale allow for it)
The biggest losers of the affirmative action are asian Americans.
Twitter’s problem is that it encourages engagement with the absolute worst and most divisive users. Don’t agree with an antisemitic tweet? Your best option is to leave a reply and ratio the poster.

Twitter desperately needs a public downvote button with a mechanic similar to HN. Flame bait should be pushed to the bottom of everyone’s feed, not the top.
> It’s hard to remember that at first I didn’t like the program.

It's also easy to forget how bad the first season was:

> Reviewing the series as part of the DVD release in 2002, Marc Bernardin for Entertainment Weekly said of season one, that it was "almost hard to believe ... just how bad much of it was". He thought that the first season was too similar to the end of the "cheesy" original series but said that it "succeeded where it needed to: It introduced viewers to the characters who would carry the torch through six more seasons", and gave it a score of B+.[72] Tor.com reviewer Keith DeCandido was less positive, feeling that it "earned" its reputation as the poorest of The Next Generation's seven seasons because "the episodes were uneven, poorly plotted, ineptly scripted, and acted by actors who were still trying to figure their characters out". He gave it a score of 5 out of 10.[73] The season has been given an 80% "fresh" rating by review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes.[74]

> either autistic or straight up dehumanizing and authoritarian

It's important to note that in STTNG, Star Fleet is not the entirety of the human population in the show. This concept is often overlooked. The idea that human interpersonal dysfunction is a psychological and maslow-dependent side-effect is abhorrent to some people. It's seen as dehumanizing because such an observer is not able to connect with any of the characters. The assumption is that the writers have somehow taken away their humanity for them to be psychologically stable, mature, and well-adapted individuals. Read into that what you will. This is supposed to be "utopian" despite the obvious conflicts that arise, nonetheless.

Orville does something similar, but magnifies the differences and interpersonal conflicts in a fun way.
No, that scenario is assuming a federated Mastodon (and other Fediverse software) as today.
Not a Crystal expert, but the Marten tutorial mentions a `crystal play` command that will run a web-interface with an interactive "playground" that you can interact with your program's functionality in: https://martenframework.com/docs/getting-started/tutorial#in....
It's a run-off between just those two. So whoever with more votes.
Thanks for the kind words - though not certain too many would share your enthusiasm! Good luck with the tinkering.
This was on the todo list: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/XXTEA

From one of the minds that brought you the Burrows-Wheeler transform. The problem is that the chosen plaintext attack is too cheap, so it's not interesting.

But XXTEA is a historical curiosity like the Finnish predictor compressor, so maybe!
Favorite-worthy comment, thanks! I've certainly had success with some of these and would like to add more to my routine. (I've found it that having a stable, healthy daily routine helps a lot by itself. Getting used to actually getting up and making coffee immediately after I wake up has made a surprisingly large difference to my mornings)
He went through all the paperwork, got the money, then he didn’t want to buy it.
Whichever follows the principle of least astonishment.

I'm not sure about your standard social media, but for direct messaging, several Matrix-based companies have popped up that allow for service interoperability.

The European Union is also working on breaking open the messenger space, forcing tech companies to either leave the EU or work on an interoperable standard. I believe an IEEE working group is already developing a protocol to serve this purpose, even with encryption available if I recall correctly.
I cancelled netflix because basically all of its suggestions were in the 'dystopian' category. I cancelled prime video because it was much of the same, along with ruining properties I enjoyed when I was younger like Wheel of Time (a show I forced myself to watch for one season and then thought about analytically to decide if I could justify their changes for tv adaptation - I couldn't).

Modern takes on everything suck. The culture that produces modern tv/movies is not one I want to participate in, and their writers are terrible. Abrahms ability to ruin everything he touches while everyone celebrates is jusst another extension of this. The one thing the marvel MCU used to have was the ability to still tell hero stories. DC never figured it out (although there Z Snyder was at fault).

I'd rather not know what is being done now, and just cherish my memories and copies of the older material. It's less annoying and honestly there's nothing of value in the new stuff except sometimes cinematography.
The correct translation is ballot counting.
I have an alternative way of coming at the problem: what is the (actually) true causality (as opposed to "true" "justification") that preceded this event?

In my experience, this perspective is extremely unpopular (and is usually responded to with rhetoric, memes, not-actually-factual "facts", insults, rate-limiting, etc - for examples, see the thread we are in), but I'm curious what you think?
