> I really like helix. So much that I’ve switched from jetbrains to neovim.

This is a very confusing statement. Helix caused you to drop JetBrains IDEs for another editor (that is not Helix) entirely?
On a long enough timeline the natural value of land tends towards infinity.

If a corporate entity can take out a 1,000 year loan it can make a profit buying a single home for one billion dollars.

This is why the economic models created to understand supply and demand for manufacturing pins in a factory eventually unravel when discussing land.
Each server has a local timeline. Some are visible to non-subscribers, some are not.

I’m on fosstodon which has this as the local timeline.

https://fosstodon.org/web/public/local

On many servers I can do the obvious substitution to see that server’s local timeline. I don’t think I’ve seen any servers that link that from their top level page.
And unsurprisingly they're some of the best roads on which to drive. Also, I've never been able to drive faster than I have on a toll road in Texas. Also, the idea that the people who use it are the people who pay for it is pretty neat.

I'm not saying this to try to patch things up with up with you, (because I want my grammar to be correct and will admit a mistake) but it seems the transitivity of the verb is neither as cut and dry as either of us thought.

From the link above:

Although it has been in use since the late 18th century, sense 2 is still attacked as wrong. Why it has been singled out is not clear, but until comparatively recent times it was found chiefly in scientific or technical writing rather than belles lettres. Our current evidence shows a slight shift in usage: sense 2 is somewhat more frequent in recent literary use than the earlier senses. You should be aware, however, that if you use sense 2 you may be subject to criticism for doing so, and you may want to choose a safer synonym such as compose or make up.

I'll probably avoid using the word altogether in the future if it's so contentious.
What about holding spacebar to overheat the computer and exit emacs?
>Email providers will block whole swaths of IPs without telling you but you don't really notice it because it's very likely those IPs are only being used maliciously.

Most blocked instances in Mastodon are typically not being blocked for being malicious instances, but instead because they don't like the kind of tweets that are from there. Email servers are typically much more neutral and block IPs mostly to prevent spam instead of because they disagree with the speech contained in the emails originating from that IP.
Most engines I've seen will delta all the entity states against the client's last acknowledged state. Costs some memory and computation on both sides to keep the deltas valid, but keeps the state update to under an MTU, generally.
Sorry that this isn't very likely to help you gain much actionable insight.

I just turned the feature on for the first time since originally disabling it whenever it was introduced.

After playing with it briefly, it isn't fast enough to offer me any real help. Perhaps if I was hesitating on spelling a challenging word (does it have two of that letter or just one?) it would help me out. But I don't run into those scenarios often enough that it'd be worth the other downsides.

Just now, when I wanted to manually enter typos in the bottom line, it was clunky to dismiss without changing the words. I could mouse over the X or use the arrow keys to change position. Maybe there's another way that isn't intuitive to me? Maybe Esc, but I've already disabled it. Point is, it broke my flow.

I prefer to have the computer point out to me when I spell something incorrectly. It's a method of reinforcing the correct spelling. Then I can hopefully learn not to make the same mistake in the future.

Finally, as I've had it on while typing this post, it autocorrected a typo to the wrong word (amke turned to take; wtf). Had I not noticed, it would make my sentence strange (though most would just assume I was typing on a phone). That's fine on a web forum, but that's not acceptable in professional emails and the like.

It's just not useful to a life-long computer user with a full-sized kbd. However, despite 15 years of thumb typing on phones, the targets are still small enough and my thumbs are still large enough that it's mostly useful.

PS: Because I'm a fan of text-substitution apps (I use aText, but TypeIt4Me is also well-regarded), I already have custom entries for things like hte or thakns).

Good luck conquering this obstacle!
80°F = 26.6°C. I usually wait until 30°C (86°F), perhaps 28°C (82.4°F) if the humidity is too high.

Well, this has never been tried, because existing power structures are actively resisting such society reorganization. You make your statements about society behaviour with such confidence, but you miss a certain factor: the society can't start to behave correctly out of a sudden. First, it must be educated. And from my life experience most people (like >90% of the total population!) already do work and coexist with others quite successfully without any coercion or governance, so ruling out anarchy as something 'impossible' is quite bold. What we need to try it is to get rid of some existing government (preferably, finding one where the constituents would want to convert to anarchy), and then figure out the common policy toward criminals.
I don't know if you're a theist, but you can pray for divine grace that this blockage go away. Other religions like Buddhism also teach the power of positive intentions in releasing spiritual blockage.
Did it go "terribly wrong"/do we know how large his position actually was?
"pad" without the "i" was already accepted as a term for something you write on e.g., "pen and pad"

I'm pretty confident that you can ask someone for a pad for writing, without thinking at all about hygiene products, but you can't even hear the toot of a horn without thinking of a fart.
> apparently my server's administrator would be able to silently prevent me from seeing other "enemy" servers' messages, and they could even read my DMs.

There's an interesting problem here - how do you know that your server's software and configuration hasn't been modified in a way that subtly lets these things happen?

I've always wanted a PaaS, operated by a too-big-to-make-exceptions security-hardened company (here's looking at you, Google!), that lets you deploy any image or set of images, but has a centrally managed ingress that ensures that the only access is over HTTPS (so no direct access to any requisitioned databases) and furthermore reports a hash of the image(s) as an HTTP response header with every single response, with no way to change or suppress this

You could then have, say, a Mastodon implementation that also reports all appropriate central configuration (say, blocklists, or disabling the ability of users to port out) at a public endpoint, and, importantly, is trusted to report that accurately, because you could validate what code it's running via the HTTP response. You could audit that security updates are being applied, that nobody is running a fork that gives them access to your DMs, and, if Mastodon gave visibility into this, you could also validate whether administrators all have 2FA enabled and how many of them there are (and hold your server admins to account socially).

Of course, you do have to trust the PaaS provider not to make exceptions to the rules, but no more so than we currently trust any certificate authority.

Does anyone know if anything like this exists right now?

Having to switch between "normal" and "insert" modes all the time is one of the things that turns me off from vi and its family tree, and is consequently something that turns me off of Helix, too. There are a lot of neat ideas here, though, and I wonder how many could be hacked into other editors like Emacs.
Every few years I re-watch the Running Man - and it gets scarier every time. Last time I watched it we only nearly had the video forgery technology from the movie (in civilian hands, at least). Now it actually exists.
For a few years I've been learning about woodworking. I'm particularly interested in hand-tool woodworking (planes and chisels and mallets and hand-saws and such). I've enjoyed restoring old tools that are rusty and roached out, and bringing them into working order again to give them a new life. Nothing like using a well-tuned 100-year-old Stanley #5 to get a glass-like surface on a piece of wood. Also love woodturning, mostly making bowls. Turning a chunk of wood into a beautiful, useful object is deeply satisfying.

I recently took some small-craft sailing lessons. The balance and flow of wind in the sail, tension on the sheet, sitting on the thwart, with one hand on the tiller, and gliding over the water with the setting sun turning the sky golden, was an amazing experience.

So now I'm looking to combine the two interests, and have plans to build and sail my own small wooden boat.
How long did you try it for?
That seems true, by induction on the number of runners. But the conjecture does allow for rational speed ratios.

Is this a good explainer? There is a barrier to most tech. I remember joining a server and not going much further a few years back.

Seen lots of people saying this is me I think on Mastodon.
You might want to look at what happened when Gab switched to Mastodon, and/or when Trump basically made a Mastodon server called "Truth Social", which was some years ago...

(Note also that you are not much of a (societal) liberal if you don't value freedom of speech. But therefore this isn't so much of a left vs right than a top vs bottom issue...)
It is not for you, or a fair news organization, to decide what is an "overreaction".
If Mastodon was fully centralized like Twitter and offered that experience, it would need an immense source of funding, and need ads, and shareholders, and would be losing money rapidly until some billionare bought it out... like Twitter.

Mastodon is built so that there is no single point of failure, but that means users have no single point of signup. It is like email, or matrix. Host your own on your own domain for a few dollars a month or join a friendly server paying the bill for you.

It is really not that hard, but people are just not used to having choices on the internet anymore.

At some point someone you know picked Twitter and you did too. Maybe find some friends or public figures you like on Mastodon and see what server they are on.

Watches appear on the reject list, but fail to match any of your explanations. If it's about not wanting something on your wrist, just replace the strap with one that is good for clipping to your backpack. Most of the cheaper Garmin don't offer an option to lower recording frequency for extreme battery runtimes, but the Instinct series should do that just fine.
It should be pretty clear in 2022 that wars can be started despite the negative economic gain, so whether China is interested in Taiwan industry or not can bear very little weight for the decision makers.
Who's to say that someone really does or doesn't have something "new" to say? New can be explaining something simpler way, as far as the writer understands it, and discouraging people from writing and getting experience through writing is pretty inconsiderate as I see it.

"Unless by regulate you mean ban"

I mean regulate, as in devise some rule. The exact details are open ended and infinite. You could make up any kind of rule that says what the water may or may not be used for, how much may be extracted per time period, require other things that will eventually lead to the creation of some other water source while this one is being consumed, etc.

All kinds of things.

For most people it means trusting unknown people with their data and trusting them to not delete your account or turn off the instance eventually, which doesn't make it really better than twitter. Ideally everyone should run its own instance but it won't be the case.
Yes, exactly, we can (and do) mess with hormones and see what happens. This causal link is extremely well established and rubicon33 does not know what they are talking about.
Pretty clear a good portion of the Twitter users moving to Mastodon don't understand that it's a federated application, and expect a centralized Twitter clone.

If your complaint is Elon's flavor of moderation on Twitter, moving to a Mastodon server with an admin with their own fun and unique ideas about moderation isn't the tea.
Unless you burn out the staff that you have left.
Having it brought to my attention, and as someone who never got into twitter, I figured I'd give it a shot and see if it fit my desires better.

So far it mostly just doesn't work, so that's neat.
Sorry you disagree, and sorry I wasn’t blunt enough to say “the above advice is akin to enabling”, because I’m not qualified to make that assessment but I suspect it could be.

You cannot “life-hack” an addiction in this fashion. I mean, you’re welcome to - but I don’t think it will really help. Delaying the inevitable and all that.

> Are you assuming the GP is extremely impressionable to the point they implement the advise of internet comments without any critical thinking whatsoever?

I think that people with addiction often seek out advice that matches or re-affirms their priors and reduces cognitive dissonance they may be feeling, yeah. Just from personal experience with loved ones.

I had a look, it feels like in practice one would rather use eslint "recommended" settings + prettier, which is well integrated in IDE for "format on save", rather than having all the formatting rules defined in eslint.
I'm also interested in any concrete examples you can link us to.
I agree. It’s going to be the worst thing that happened to some of the communities there. Scam and Spam in particular have fresh greenfield with little to stop them. That is if the entire thing doesn’t fall over.
Mastodon is not a platform and does have moderation.
You cannot use your gmail credentials to login to yahoo, but you can communicate with anyone from yahoo with your gmail account.

Similarly servers do not share credentials, but you can follow people no matter what server they are on.
Why can't it get enough reach?

What if each news outlet ran their own server? Or would this feel like bondage with people wishing for multiple personas/autonomy?
That's not entirely true, the "threshold of originality" is relevant. Contributing typofixes or even things like minor non-functional refactorings (i.e. renaming methods or variables) isn't going to qualify as an original contribution. A common mistake is thinking stuff like relicensing is some kind of binary 1-or-0 thing. It's not. It's a legal concern, not a technical one and is therefore subject to many messy human interpretations of ownership, law, et cetera.

In any case it does not matter here because contributing to mold requires your changes to be available under both AGPLv3 and MIT, and so any derivative proprietary works can be considered derivatives of the MIT licensed version. It therefore isn't "changing the existing license", it's "making a proprietary derivative, which the existing license allows."
Hard truths about software: they have bugs. There's no such thing as an OS that has zero bugs. All major versions of software become abandoned eventually. Then you either upgrade to a newer version of the software or you live with whatever bugs you have.

> Those residual bugs are often severe: El Capitan continued to cause many Macs to grind to a halt through its entire cycle, the cause not being addressed until Sierra. Sierra in turn was abandoned with a serious bug in its backup scheduling system that caused automatic backups to fail completely after a few days, and that was only fixed in High Sierra. More recently, Monterey initially suffered from three serious memory leaks, of which two were fixed early, but the third has only just been addressed in Ventura.

Citation needed. Citation needed. Citation needed. I had multiple Macs with all these versions of macOS and never noticed any issues like this. My system never "ground to a halt," nor did I have failed backups, nor did I suffer from a "serious memory leak."

> APFS is but one example of a critical sub-system that loses all support once Apple releases a new version of macOS.

Is this an unknown or unexpected phenomenon? Does Microsoft make updates to NTFS on Windows 2000? What's wrong with APFS that needs to be fixed? "Bugs," I guess.

> Many of us had suspected that, during those two security-only maintenance years, older macOS didn’t get all the fixes it could have.

Right, because it's an old version that's out of support. What's the problem?

> It’s safer to delay upgrading

Stop. No. Don't. Stop telling people not to update their systems. This reminds me of everyone who recommended that people disable patches for Windows XP due to the mild inconvenience of the whole thing and then wondered why they got infected with every virus under the sun.

> It’s a similar argument to that concerning vaccination of younger people against Covid or other generally non-fatal conditions. Most people under the age of 70 who are in reasonably good health should be safe from serious or prolonged illness or death.

Oh, the author is anti-vax. Great.
A combination of (0) having disposable income, as you said, but also (1) lots of free time to browse social media, which in combination with making money might mean maybe not working so hard; (2) low enough standards to spend a lot of free time on social media, and in case of twitter probably not "connecting with family back home"; (3) suggestible/gullible enough to click on ads instead of doing product research; (4) not technically competent enough to just block ads; (5) maybe, conspicuous-consumption/status/consumerism focused enough to buy the kind of high-margin products that justify ads.

How these are weighted I dunno. But yeah, sounds pretty much like chattering class ;)

you’ll make new friends if you stick to it
This is also how I remember my childhood and even early teenage years. My friends would just pop over unannounced and ask me out to play or play sports or something. Also relatives and grandparents would do this occasionally since basically my whole extended family lived in the same village. I also feel like things would have continued the same way if it wasn't for everyone (including me) moving away to study, work, etc. As an adult, it's very difficult to reconstruct the same kind of social network once it has been broken.

I think it helps to think of our social environment as some kind of ecosystem that has evolved to fulfill various needs and shouldn't be messed with. The results will be similar to if you take a few species from biological ecosystems and just randomly put them together - the result is not going to look very pretty.
See my Genghis Khan example downthread.

The first warlord to protect the nerds and solidify logistics will build the strongest army.

Sparta never became a world power. Raw brute force alone does nothing. The first move of the Great Khan was to capture bureaucrats from China to organize his army.

That's what separated the Spartans from the Great Khan, and that will be the same issue if society ever degenerates to that state again.
