If you want to have just one Mastodon account on a server that doesn't focus on any specific interest, language, or region, then any of the General category servers in https://joinmastodon.org/servers would be a good choice. Personally, I find the experience on highly populated general purpose servers like https://mastodon.social, https://mastodon.online, and https://mstdn.social to be very similar. These servers are pretty much interchangeable, so there isn't a lot to say about them.

When I suggested finding a server with a specific focus, my intention was to highlight what makes Mastodon unique from monolithic single-instance social networks like Twitter. I didn't mean to come across as restrictive or hostile. The reality is that many Mastodon users don't use Mastodon as their only (or even their primary) social network, and that's why I emphasize Mastodon's strengths when I answer questions from people who are interested about Mastodon. I couldn't tell from your HN submission that you were only looking for general purpose servers.

Also, remember that regardless of the server you choose, you can follow accounts from any other server. The only exception is when the target server is suspended by your home server or vice versa. Any Mastodon account can be used to communicate with other users on different servers about different interests even if the account is located on a server that has a specific focus.

I wouldn't directly compare Mastodon (ActivityPub) to IRC, since IRC networks are independent of one another, while Mastodon servers are federated.
The point of OP was history not preferences. And judging by financials a brief history may in fact be enlightening to many.
With luck it means we’ll survive a high-IFR virus until vaccines are available, and won’t lose a huge chunk of our population and suffer collapse. China will even have a working economy. In the face of something truly deadly there aren’t good alternatives. China’s unwillingness/inability to switch to a post-vaccine strategy is the error here, not their very successful use of quarantine+lockdown pre-vaccine.

It seems to have stuck slightly better in WA than the rest of Australia, possibly because we had the rapid return to moderate normalcy (with a border closure) and thanks to the prolonged border closure we basically got a 12+ month crash course in several levels of public responsibility. We had occasional mini lockdowns in between to keep untracked community spread at zero until the public health teams worked out the time was right between vaccination levels, delta spreading , etc.

While it’s not a majority of people, I still routinely see people wearing masks out and about, particularly on public transport. But I suspect it’s primarily as a defence against other peoples germs. Which I’ll admit is why I’m currently looking at nicer less “hospital” masks, notably a few companies that make respirators had a mini boom and diversified into “everyday wear” models that didn’t look like you were fumigating for termites. There are reusable respirators that just look like nicer disposable ones now.

It’s also helps that people don’t find it as weird if you have a mask on when riding a bike since that’s been sort of a normal look for a while, pioneered by both the Lycra wearing enthusiasts and the boom in bike couriers thanks to food delivery apps and no one riding as a courier wants to breath car and truck fumes all day.

Thinking about this later, I realized that this script isn't even recursive. I think we've been Tom Sawyered, but I couldn't resist. I grabbed a Takeout zip I had hanging around and wrote this:

import fs from 'fs';
import path from 'path';

copyMedia('Takeout');

function copyMedia(dir) {
fs.readdirSync(dir, {withFileTypes: true}).forEach((file) => {
if (file.isDirectory()) {
copyMedia(path.join(dir, file.name));
} else {
if (file.name.toLowerCase().endsWith('.jpg') || file.name.toLowerCase().endsWith('.mp4')) {
fs.cpSync(path.join(dir, file.name), path.join('photos', file.name));
}
}
});
}

It uses copy instead of move, but it's fine.

I've suffered from exactly the same issues with Protonmail Bridge, and just this last weekend I decided (reluctantly) to move to a more standard mail provider (I chose Mailbox.org).

Aside from the UID issue discussed I also had problems with Bridge not supporting my particular use-cases. I created my own fork (see https://github.com/polaris64/proton-bridge) to work around some limitations and to add features, but maintaining this was too much work, especially as paying for a mail provider was supposed to reduce maintenance burden. I have had a pull request open since the 23rd of June to merge these to the upstream version, but so far I haven't received any comments from the Proton team.

I like ProtonMail, I just wish Bridge was more standards-compliant.

It's not irrelevant. The quality of roads TomTom guides you are way more optimized then Google maps for example. The road graphics are also way much more clear.

TomTom is what I use on every vacation trip. Wouldn't do that with Google Maps.

Google Maps always picks strange roads and often I see me driving through a red light district or something, where TomTom would pick more conventional roads.

> "But I'll spend money to train my employees and they'll just take those skills to go work for a competitor or start their own business!" Yes, that's a feature of the system, not a bug.

Pay your employees well, listen to their problems and fix them, and they won't leave the company for a competitor.

People leave for a handful of main reasons to competitors:

1. Money - this is the most obvious. Most employers simply don't want to give pay rises, to the point where they would rather hire a new person at 50-100% higher than your current salary, to do the same job, than to give you a 25-30% raise.

2. Bad management - second most common reason I see people leave, even for lesser paying jobs, just to be rid of bad managers. And for some reason most companies would rather hire _yet another_ manager to "fix things" rather than listen to the actual workers' problems. So the worker leaves when all they see is manager upon manager upon manager getting paid 2-3-5x as much as they are, who either don't do jackshit, or are overbearing micro-managers. Oh and of course these managers often claim any success of their managed people, while pushing any blame on them simultaneously.

3. No way to progress, either professionally, or within the company hierarchy. A lot of professionals end up doing the exact same job for years upon years, without going anywhere. They don't get promoted to a new position (but get new responsibilities continuously, without any financial renumeration of course), they can't go to another project, they're stuck in one place. And nobody likes feeling stuck.

Overall, a company can easily ensure that people they invest in, stay with the company to use those skills - just freaking listen to them. Not the managers, not some external "corporate coach", the people you invested in. Make sure they're happy, and they'll stay with you.

Oh, also, let's debunk that whole "I invested money in you therefore you can't work for my competitors" bullshit - all that investment, that's actually net zero for the company, since they can do tax writeoffs on those, as an expense. So at the end, that argument is pure BS, and restricting (ex) employees from working for the competition is pure pettiness.
No; their demise was the rise of smartphones who can do pretty much everything they can, for free. GPS navigation was commoditized as part of the smartphone arms race.
I don't know if I'm oblivious - on long drives I usually have the TomTom setup and Waze on the android auto screen - TomTom knows about traffic and issues on the road that are just not on Waze, most of the time. Also Waze keeps directing me on most idiotic side little roads, recently I nearly got stuck in a muddy road somewhere in the British countryside because of Waze because I decided to trust it. Again, no such problem with TomTom.
Except for the part where it wants a phone number for no reason and outright never sends a code.

This has absolutely everything to do with "conservatives"

Flipside, I really don't care and wont be spending eons trying to get on.
The shorter lifecycle is only for 8. CentOS Stream 9 is EOL the same time as RHEL 9 full support page (unless I am reading it wrong)

It sounds from your description here like you built a cloud-based spreadsheet that supports large datasets and extensible Python functions. Isn't that a considerably more general tool than "just" a pricing calculator? If I'm looking for a spreadsheet for other purposes, pretty much everything about the name and content of your site is going to discourage me from using it, which seems odd for what sounds like a general purpose solution.
That’s just lip service. If you judge him by his actions then he’s heavily optimizing for personal power, not national interest or prosperity.
can someone explain to me, now that CentOS is upstream of RHEL, what the difference between Fedora and Cent OS Stream is?
No, I mean (non-)differentiable, although differentiable non-continuous is also not useful. If you scanned every pixel for every polygon and discretely determined whether it was inside or outside that would be as you describe, but that's rarely the case. Take a look at the typical line drawing algorithm[0] - it procedurally determines which pixels to draw as part of the line. Without modification such algorithms don't give you derivatives of how each pixel depends on the shape parameters.

Petsmart makes you sign one or at least used to. For the groomers that they sent to training, it makes sense. For the cashiers, it ought to be illegal to have them sign it even though it's mostly unenforceable. It's an intimidation tactic. There's nothing that a damn pet store employee learns in training or in 5 years on the floor that could even begin to be considered a trade secret.

Reminds me of how Gallup made everyone sign a 6-month contract in an at-will state. If you want folks to stay for at least 6 months, then don't suck so much to work for. One of the cultiest places I've ever had the misfortune to work at.

I don't think Stream compromises in any significant way on reliability. They test it rigorously. The short support window is a bit of a bummer, though.

That said, I'm running CentOS Stream 9 right now. It's supported until 2027. I generally like to keep my operating systems relatively up to date, so a roughly 5 year support window is adequate for me.
Oh wow that's an unclear graph, putting the first tick-mark at 1B gives the impression that you're starting at 0, but there is in fact over 0.5B missing from the bottom of the plot.

Modern corporate raid how-to:

6. Profit

Important to note that, at least in my experience, most of the 'plastic bags' in Italy are the compostable kind. In the UK they're still in the minotrity (I've only seen our version of the Co-Op offer them, for instance).

You might wish to be wary about tea bags, mind - here in the UK our tea producers are still struggling to release bags free of thin heat-pressed polypropylene sealing strips... .
>Life is too short to quibble about this crap.

Then why bother doing science at all?

There are ways to determine the correlation vs causation problem, but yes it takes more effort - possibly redesigning studies, follow up studies etc.

But that's just the price of knowledge. And knowledge is worth quibbling over.
Yeah, Saved Messages is that unexpected feature for me too. I also use it to easily send photos from my phone to my laptop. It makes it convenient because Telegram is right at the top in the Share options, and it’s async, so I can send something now and use it whenever.
Sorry my answer was strictly about the issue with labour in the USA.

The French hospital issues are entirely different. I could a write an entire essay about it - I’m French myself. Most of it is due to brain dead management by the Health Ministry in the 90s. It was thought that by training less doctors, there would be less acts done and it would cost less to the sécurité sociale. The order agreed because it protected their revenue. Add to that that far too many acts which could be done by support staff have to be done by a doctor to be reimbursed and widely underpaid nurses and you get the current shit show.
The auto-nav feature is very nice. However others do this, Apple Maps, at least, will suggest a destination based on behavioural patterns.

Tesla also have a "simple" version of this, if you are at home, it will automatically to go to work in the "morning", and in the afternoon it will automatically go "home" if you are at the office. But this seems to be location/time based, and not behavioural.

Huh so I guess:

"Among the dozens of plumes of methane spotted by EMIT so far, one stretches for about two miles in the Permian Basin, a massive oil field southeast of Carlsbad, New Mexico. This source of methane emissions was previously undetected, writes Grist’s Avery Schuyler Nunn."

was incorrect.

Odd for the Smithsonian magazine to not fact check this...
I use Elixir for work, and have led the adoption of it and therefore the teaching of other engineers.

I have learned that in order to get people to produce good Elixir code, the important thing is to get them to think about the data structures first and then the functions: how your information is represented on the way in and out, what your state looks like etc.

Even something as simple as parsing a request, get them to start from "ok I have a binary as my input and then it's going to produce a map/tuple/whatever". Once they think like that (and have some understanding of which datastructures work well where) then the functions you need fall out quite easily, they tend to have roughly the right set of arguments, and modules tend to separate quite cleanly
Fedora has a lot more churn and is more bleeding edge. Cent OS Stream is quite stable and is kind of like a thoroughly tested pre-release of the next version of RedHat.
For some of us, using an older but way more tested and more stable version is equally important. CentOS stream moves the release point to (RHEL+1), which sometimes break things in unexpected ways.

This is why we also migrating to Rocky on such systems.
I'm not sure about S3. I'm happy to say for my purposes, including travel and extended time away from an outlet, it "just works" out of the box. It's my main device, rarely off for more than 8 hours, so I don't know how much it would deplete over time while suspended and off power. It's been a long while since I've seen any problems on Thinkpads with suspend, and I've got better rabbit holes to spend my time in than trying to tweak that.

I don't bear an absolute grudge against Intel, but they really need to get their act together when it comes to laptop chips, the AMD chip is a dream compared to the Intel chips I've used in laptops for the past few years (my desktop 12700k is just fine, though).

130g is inconsequential, it feels very light and well distributed. After all the struggles, and a financial hit selling the X1 two years earlier than planned because it was just unusable, I had to determine, for now, the compromises of the Intel X1 series are not worth it, though they would probably be fine with an AMD chip. I do miss a touch screen and very occasionally convertible modes, though.
