Look no further than Ilhan Omar: Islam, anti-imperialism (BDS), LGBT-activism (mostly T-activism these days), and radical feminism have joined forces.

Or the extreme lack of coverage of Iran protests in the major US newspapers despite their unprecedented scale and spread across the world (dare it looks anti-Hijab and exposes Islam as a threat) as another example.

I'm surprised you see this as a controversial claim. Here's how an Iranian women's right activist discusses how she's alienated by the Feminist crowd because she is against forced Hijab in Iran, making Islam look bad: https://www.hbo.com/real-time-with-bill-maher/season-20/29-s...

This behavior is par for the course of the contemporary western left narrative. A western country behaving like France restricting Hijab to some degree gets many times more exposure than Taliban and Islamic Republic mandatory Hijab.

That's a good point. I really just lucked out in immediately finding a good teacher. It's probably worth doing some research and watching some videos from vocal instructors online to get the general idea of what good and bad advice sounds like.
True, but DNs often pay a premium for many services which locals do not pay. And DNs often spend a lot more than locals do just by virtue of having more to spend.

In places which thrive or depend on tourism, working DNs are a blessing. The broke backpackers are less so, as they live on the cheap (which is totally fine for them but offers less to the local community).

Also, DNs are a tiny, tiny percentage of public transport riders in places that have public transportation. Likewise, I don't imagine DNs are using vast amounts of water... especially since we tend to buy bottled water for drinking, and we often don't cook at home (so whoever we are paying for food is getting water however they get it).

As for roads and road maintenance costs, those should be covered in part by vehicle registrations. If we rent a car or a scooter, or we take a taxi, the costs are part of the fare.

Aside from building a local dependency on foreign visitors who splash money around, I don't see much downsides to DNs existing in remote places (assuming of course that they behave like decent humans).

As someone who likes Go, agreed 100%.

Sum types + pattern matching + tuples alone are so powerful, they could fix like top 5 of my biggest annoyances with Go.

Add some syntax sugar (like '?' from Rust), and it fixes a majority of the boilerplate issues.

Imo, people praise Rust too much for the ownership and safety story, and way to little for its (more simplistic) excellent decisions around simple types.

Study Shows Privacy Awareness Is the “New Normal” for Consumers
The distinction is only meaningless for you because you've chosen to redefine the term digital nomad. One of the original inspirations for the digital nomad movement was the book Vagabonding: An Uncommon Guide to the Art of Long-Term World Travel, written by Rolf Potts. Long-term (and its gradual side effects) is really the key here.

The differences between a DN and a tourist are:

1) The DN spends many months or years on the road, such that the nexus of their personal affairs stops being their home country, residency becomes an issue they have to think about, etc. - this doesn't happen with a tourist

2) The DN's primary income generating activities continue during this period, such that the labor laws of the countries they visit become an issue they have to think about -- again doesn't happen with a tourist

I agree that if someone takes a 3 month holiday and works on their laptop during it, they're a tourist. We don't need to use DN to describe those people, they are not really practicing long term travel as Potts described it. The term more accurately describes the growing number of people who are going to another level and really disconnecting from their home country.

DNs in this sense spend a lot of money in the countries they visit - it varies widely based on their income and how much of the year they spend traveling, but most of them spend somewhere between $20K-$200K/yr. Even on the low end this is way more money than most tourists spend.

Which has how many content moderators?

None of them, but that's fine. People moving to Mastodon believe that communities can largely self-moderate, by aligning with the owners and kicking out people who don't play by their rules. Twitter is arguably the same, but it tries to be all things to all people and fails. Mastodon instance owners aren't trying to be that. They only want to keep a small number of people happy. That's a much easier job.

I think it works quite well. Mastodon instances aren't ever going to be a platform to broadcast a message to the public to like Twitter tries to be, but that's OK. There's a place in the world for lots of things that aren't Twitter.

It is the bottom that internet communities raced to.

People choosing to leave Twitter aren't convinced that's true. They believe it will get worse.
I'm... kinda super pedantic about.. names. So I love domain names. I spent hours and hours on my kids' names. I'm crazy when it comes to naming things like how to make good variable names and I could argue endlessly about names. I love witty names. I love word plays. Anyone like that out there? :) I've also made a tool called Newsy to make good use out of all my domain names that I am not using.

if the integrity of Twitter goes up, "the top 10% of the left and right equally angry", so will the value of the twitter firehose.
There is so much value in there, no advertiser could afford it. The same goes for the access to people it holds.
When [namecencored] says he wants to turn Twitter in some creepy Chinese everything-app; it implies he knows what troves of value is not capitalised upon right now.
To base the twitters business model primarily on ad buyers is ludicrous.
Even disabling firehose access to people and using the hose themselves for stock trading alone could potentially be a bomb.
Absolutely arrogant. Either they're producing a lock without doing the least bit of research to uncover the easiest, most basic attacks, or they know about them and don't care.
I did formally relocate to Colorado and start paying their local taxes.

Later when I moved to Amsterdam, I started paying Netherlands taxes.

There's no dodging, at least if you are able to setup residence somewhere. If you are unable to setup residence somewhere, then you are not really dodging as you are not able to pay if you wanted to. (But you are also not officially allowed to be working). In my view, however, if you are not taking local jobs, but you are adding consumer spending to a region, then you are not taking something away from the locals.

My brother recently bought an e-bike and has been enjoying it as well. He hasn't taken it on errands yet, though. How do you handle preventing theft, since that's super common here in the bay? I know there are some relatively higher rated locks but I still don't think I'd personally feel comfortable leaving an expensive bike or scooter out of sight more than maybe just a minute or two.
> People will send you stuff to rack up your bill

Sure, but on a personal level, that's still very, very cheap, almost without concern for how much you follow. CloudFront and API Gateway are pennies per million requests. SQS usage would probably fit in the free tier. DynamoDB, if implemented with a single-table design, would probably cost no more than a couple of bucks, and storage would probably fit in the free tier. You can use IAM policy on pre-signed URLs to restrict the maximum object size of an object that someone is sending you, as well as implement effective rate limiting and automatic expiration with lifecycle policies that keep costs under control.

Of course, costs could expand if the user wants to keep an infinite history, but that's their choice, by design.
> No buttons, commands or special characters needed.

I'm unsure what benefit you are trying to describe here. When I jot things down in Notepad++, I use tons of commands all of the time to edit the text. You don't just type from start to finish, you know; you move around and you make edits. People who are more mouse-driven than me use buttons for the same purpose. I also make extensive use of (“special”) Unicode characters to make things clear to myself. Why would I use a software whose explicit aim is to take this all away?
> The notion that it will now be possible to "pay to impersonate" is absurd

It is indeed quite obviously absurd, which is why it seems strange that so many people are assuming that this is exactly what is going to occur. It doesn't take much thinking to imagine ways they could allow anyone to get verified while not allowing impersonation. For example—and this is just the first idea that comes to mind—they could require people to consent to their username being locked in return for that checkmark.
There is only one other HomeKey-compatible lock on the market in the US, the Schlage Encode Plus.

It is the same price, not nearly as attractive, and is regularly sold out for months at a time.

But Schlage locks require at least some skill to pick.

My Sad, Lonely, Expensive Adventures in Zuckerberg's V.R
I started living the digital nomad life last week. For both time zone reasons and company guidelines, I’m spending most of my “nomadding” times in the US and all of it in US time zones - a few stops in Canada and Mexico for the first year.

We are staying exclusively in hotels (Homewood Suites, Home2Suites and Hyatt Places) when I’m working and slightly more expensive places when we are vacationing and paying with points.

As far as cost of living being lower. I made it a point for our hotel lodging on average to be the same as our housing costs before we started.
Hello from Delhi, India. I dont have much going on in my life, 11th grade exams are on top soo I can barely find much time. One thing that I am really passionate about is concatenative programming and how it can be used as a better way to program and teach programming, especially low level extensible programming .
I have no idea how can I even write a good concatenative language, how the theory for it will work, compiler engines, etc. Sure I can slap llvm to it and call it done but thats not gonna be that extensive.

Hello to you too stranger.

I have been feeling kinna the same about the internet for a while now too, there's so much noise on the internet now its hard to tell if you are talking to a real person with a real interest or someone trying to market something. But luckily, there are a few corners of the internet where you can discover new things.

For example, small reddit communities are still a lot like the old internet, you get to have really different perspective on things you care about in smaller communities. If you can ignore the bad, 4chan's /biz /g and /fit are interesting communities to lurk in.

When I was younger, mmorpg's were the best place to meet REALLY interesting people at, but these days there's not enough time to grind and hang out with people and other people my age don't have enough time to grind. Kinna sad though, but MMORPGS were one of the best things about the internet for me, it helped me learn a lot about making friends from all over the world, helped me meet people with really different interests than me. Trading, organizing/planning and archiving things together with a group of people who started off as total strangers and ended up being like family was a really wonderful experience. ESPECIALLY as an introvert this was one of the best ways I met people when I was younger, and some of them still remain my friends to this day. It was actually mmos that got me in to software development.

As for now, I am passionate about blockchains, I don't really care about how much BTC is right now, or what the price is going to be 10 years from now. But I like the promise of decentralized networks. To me, I find being able to put something up on a system and having the guarantee that it would be there many years later without anyone being able to take it down is a pretty powerful freedom. Yes there are people using this ability for bad/evil but its a technology that's here to stay no matter what anyone feels or thinks about it, and so if I can be atleast one of the people who build something that would help someone in a positive way I can go to sleep happy. Thanks to this passion of my I have met and had the pleasure to work with folks who genuinely care about making systems that benefit others.

Wow, this was long, if you are still here thanks for reading!
> Meta’s Meltdown Shows How Big Tech’s Invincible Era Is Over

or does it show Meta lost touch with userbase realities?
Good question! I hadn't tried, but just found a random user on an instance that mine doesn't federate with and clicked Follow. It took me through the remote follow and that user did appear on my list and showed up in searches when they didn't before.

Unfortunately I seem to have chosen an abandoned or dormant account for my test, so I can't say for certain whether posts will show up in Home, but I would expect so given the other visibility changes. Hopefully someone else with some fedi experience can chime in.
Performance Musings
I recently got a steam deck and have been going through my backlog of games I've owned for a while but never played. Finished Outer Wilds and Hollow Knight. Now I am starting Hades.
I'm afraid to say that I disagree with you wholeheartedly. I have watched, several times over the past few years, experts and non-expert well-educated people actively deride scepticism of any nature. That is, it doesn't matter what the expertise of the person or group is, what their experience is, whether their concerns have been used elsewhere by those they criticise, or whether their concerns were once seen as completely reasonable and thus natural questions to ask - they should not be asking them, hence, they are not an expert or they are stupid.

I see this from utopianists, who believe that "if only these people would get out of the way we could fix this problem and reach utopia! If they are against us they must either be evil, stupid, or both, as our position is good (quality), good (morally), and reasonable."

The next step is cancellation. I suppose we're lucky that cancellation is as far as society is willing to go at this point but we know that these things can get much worse.

As such, I must side with strong scepticism of any view regardless of expertise (i.e. argument by authority as a fallacy is the default position) and any question, by anyone, of any standing, must be taken seriously. As J. S. Mill put it:

> If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.
> "Currently, Twitter is mainly a website for top 1% to disseminate their message and it will slowly transform into top 5% decimate their message."

I realise that your use of decimate is likely an autocorrect typo, but as it stands, it's actually a rather witty description of what occurs on social media right now. The top 5% decimates what the 1% disseminates.
Neat post. I just spent a couple months in analysis paralysis trying to figure out what stack to use for a new website. So many pros/cons. I learned a ton and feel like I'm up to speed with all the latest frameworks, backends, ORMs, etc.. I remember way back when loving PHP and since then I've used a ton of frameworks/languages for different jobs over the decades..

Anyways, I picked Next.js and am really liking it so far. It has the right mix of front and backend that is feeling really productive. Server side rendered that gracefully translates into something that can easily be updated client side.

I've got a test site set up pretty quickly, the frontend with react being one way data bound is a super simple data model to understand. TSX gives static typing with html templates which I love. Especially being able to use html in javascript. Components in react are simple to create easy to refactor code into. I've used MUI for controls and my site looks pretty good.

Testing was easy to setup for both the front and back end with jest. I can attach the debugger simultaneously to both the back and frontend code with the same instance of VS Code which is a neat trick. I can share the same TypeScript DTOs with server and client side code super easy. React Query and Axios work great communicating with the server. The hot reloading on save is super nice, I can make a change to front or backend and my site automatically updates while maintaining state.

It is a bit of a house of cards with so many different packages mashed together the chance is high at least one of them is going to be obsoleted. I do like frameworks that are more kitchen sink, that I can rely on for many many years. Part of reason for choosing Next/react is that it seems to be the most active. I really envy code bases in languages that never die - C, SQL, .Net, etc.. I'm definitely one of those people fatigued by the constant churn in our industry and I just want something I can be productive in, build a nice big app on, and won't get the rug pulled out from under me.

Anyways for now I feel like I found it - hopefully it has some good life ahead of it before the next big thing!
>So I don't see any evidence that an election was significantly swayed.

Well, in my defense I did say can be swayed. However, I do think there was serious damage done when you take the full scope of Russian influence operations into account.[0]

That said, considering just the troll farm influence alone in an election scenario with tight margins—the 2000 election, for example—it's rather easy to see how it could make the difference.

It's taken seriously for good reason.

"Expecting someone else to document one's own history isn't going to work that well."

Never indicted that. Dorsey collection and 19th century travels aside, how would you say a Black person in early 17th century America should've preserved their history/life experiences in recordable format and passed it to offspring they may or may not have been separated (i.e., sold) from?
Reminds me of LSD
I agree with the theoretical aspect of that position, except from what I’ve seen no one ends up testing the error paths. Untested error handling can have serious bugs that negate the whole value prop, so in practice the value is not as large as claimed.

Also, I think the other critique is less about forcing you and more about the syntax overload your force onto someone. Rust and swift come to mind as counter examples where you’re forced to handle every error AND the language tries to keep that out of normal code flow unless you are actually having to make some decision regarding the specific error.

After several false starts, Rust mostly got this right with returning

Result<usefulresult, Error>

from most functions, and using "?" for "If the result of this is Error, do a return of the error". There's also a thing where you can write

foo().context("useful info about foo")?

and pass some more info with the error.

Plus, most things that work like "open" close when their scope closes, so you don't need all that "defer" stuff.

I would have liked a good error hierarchy like Python 2 had, where there was a clear distinction between program-is-broken errors and errors due to external causes. But Rust didn't get that at the beginning, and now it's too late.
