That's also the solution I use. Especially because I have multi-rows set up in Firefox and each update breaks this.

Plus, when installing the binaries manually, you can also apply some "hidden" settings by creating a distribution/policies.json file inside the firefox installation folder. This is what mine contains:

{
"policies": {
"DisableAppUpdate": true,
"DisableFeedbackCommands": true,
"DisableFirefoxAccounts": true,
"DisableFirefoxStudies": true,
"DisablePocket": true,
"DisableSetDesktopBackground": true,
"DisableTelemetry": true,
"NoDefaultBookmarks": true
}
}

It's kinda sad how many settings you have to configure not only here in order to not be nagged constantly. It's like you are fighting against your tools.
Input Mono [1] is beautiful, and kinda looks like Berkeley Mono. It too is paid for commercial use, but it's free for personal.

I used Input for a very long time until I made my own blend of Iosevka [2] that looks very similar—just with more exotic symbols.

Just to add a data point, I recently went back to Linux after spending years in the MacOS world. Installed Ubuntu out of habit, got the exact same thing happen to me (removed snap, installed firefox through apt, got snap back) and went to Pop OS. Could not be happier with the overall system and still very much disgusted by what Ubuntu decided to do.

Apparently forcing updates is sort of the core of Snap's philosophy. To the point that they rather added a whole host of config options that lets you specify various "work periods", "postponements" and other temporarily exceptions than just give you the ability not to update.

This is an interesting problem.

The normal state of news is that a story breaks and there are 300 near identical articles about it in 24 hours. Google News wouldn't have been successful if they hadn't developed a clustering algorithm that handles this.

Ordinary clustering algorithms don't work well for documents period in my experience and I am not sure if that's the right approach to topic identification. But if we're going to get past RSS readers having the same failing interface that has been failing since 1999 and get past the idea that social media is bad because "algorithms = bad" we need some algorithm to tame the many "me too" blog posts that come whenever a blog post breaks onto the front of HN.

It’s odd how little discussion there is on inputs because the more reputable the inputs the more likely it can be trusted. I’d really like to know the body of knowledge it has been trained on.

My guess why this is obscured is legal, in that they have used a massive body of copyrighted data, and hope to avoid controversy over the inputs by trying not to talk about it.

I had seen once a huge collection of links to curated input data sets for language models but haven’t been able to find it yet in my notes/bookmarks unfortunately.
No, it is almost certainly deliberate.

In China, all companies with more than 50 employees are legally obligated to have dedicated Chinese Communist Party representatives overseeing, according to Harvard Business Publishing (https://hbsp.harvard.edu/product/R1403J-HCB-ENG). Social media companies? They probably have tons of mandatory representatives guiding the system. ByteDance also had a "nominal" 1% ownership taken by the Chinese government, which then got 1 of 3 board seats supposedly from that investment (https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/08/17/chinese...).

So you have a company which is absolutely at the size where dedicated CCP representatives are mandatory, with a board seat possessed by a representative of a state-owned enterprise. How much separation is there, really? Add to that, TikTok has been censoring the Uighur genocide, Tiananmen Square riots, Falun Gong, so forth despite not operating in China, as well documented (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/sep/25/revealed-...) and (https://www.codastory.com/authoritarian-tech/xinjiang-china-...). If you censor things in non-Chinese nations to please the Chinese government, plus the earlier facts, you're controlled.

Finally... putting that together, it is safe to say TikTok is under substantial control of the CCP. What does every Chinese student, and almost every Communist Party leader, learn in their schools (for being a communist leader has mandatory education in many things, including lessons taken from the fall of the USSR, to avoid such a fate)?

I think you are too focused on one side of the bubble. The most popular desired career in the US is Youtuber/influencer and before that it was actor. This is just how American culture always was.

(I get the irony of pushing a gossip blog to prove the point)

As others have mentioned, before the rise of Youtube, the learning based channels on TV weren't doing so well in terms of popularity.

On a positive note though, our late stage capitalism era(plus half the millenial generation failing) has beaten any idea of "follow your dreams" out of young peoples souls. As a result, Gen-Z (and I suspect Gan Alpha) seem to be very pragmatic when they come of age and realize that the only real viable career is to hide in a closet/cube and be a coder or (surprisingly) enter the trades. Great for the US economy, terrible for the generation's self-esteem. (Gen-Z has one of the highest suicide rate of any generation in American history).

Please go into this more.

Lets say an omniscient person can come up with 40 charges that could be brought against SBF. You the prosecutor only know of 3 of them right now. Why can't you charge SBF for the 3 you have, convict them, and while SBF is in prison figure out the other 37? While SBFs in prison I bet its 1000% times harder for him to hide stuff from you too.

With programming, it's commit early and commit often. Why is the prosector trying to make a giant pull request over 3 years to shove through in a year? Target the low hanging fruit for a quick commit and get the restitution process going.

Bias definitely exists but it's on a page by page, or perhaps topic by topic basis. It can be fun looking at the talk page - and better yet, the archives of the talk pages.
Short answer is, like anything in these cases, it has complications and an investigation unit is needed first in order to collect data and evidence, assess which, if any, laws were broken and file an appropriate warrant for arrest. Until that process happens, "innocent until proven guilty" applies here. Emphasis on the "proven" part as that is how our justice system is intended to be. Which also means "not fast"
The Twitter recap of that is wild (and terrifying given the size of platform these people have.)

I think this is a serious issue but underestimated. People in the US believe that the top science and engineering roles should be filled by immigrants which I don't think is sustainable or even a healthy view of education. I am basing this on the huge foreign population of our top schools and the push for H1-B visas. It can be a self fulfilling prophecy if people remove themselves from the running for STEM in earlier childhood.

This survey showed a growing number of people who want to be social media stars[1] as fewer want to pursue STEM. I can't picture a healthy society that makes this decision. You can't shun important roles of society collectively and then hope everything works out.

Sympathy or presidential pardon. It is astonishing the sort of kid gloves he has been treated with so far in the liberal media. I am no conspiracy theorist but this is suspicious.
Twitter is already losing advertisers in droves. And not because of its own actions.

It seems that, similar to newspapers, purchasing ads is also in some manner purchasing control of the platform.

It would be nice if things could go a little faster. 3 years are a significant percentage of the average remaining life of an adult. The onus should be on the legal system to hurry up a little and streamline the process; these 3 years are quite unpleasant if you are accused of a crime, and have to wait and prepare for a trial, no? If you are guilty the time should be counted as served sentence (maybe at 50%), the innocent should be compensated for unreasonable extra waiting time.
It's incredibly uncommon.

Interesting. There's a Fortinet product as well in our school. I bet it's corruption and some sysadmin is somehow earning money, because it's so obviously unnecessary.

And it's set to block games. Ironically, I tried playing minecraft on a library computer and the server connection succeeded. Worst of all, lichess.org is blocked so students have to compete using their LTE network during chess tournaments.

It shows that we have a part private part state owned company employed as sysadmins in our school. They don't really understand the needs of the school.

I imagine that it made more sense when your update cycle involved the postal system and took months.
The data suggests no such thing. As the report underlying this article describes (https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5b6df958f8370af3217d4...), there's no high-quality data available on question of whether conservative views are disproportionately censored. The data shows that conservative accounts don't have systematically suppressed engagement, but that's fully compatible with the idea that there might be some views those accounts know they aren't allowed to talk about. At the end the report calls for Twitter to be more transparent in their moderation decisions, precisely because the lack of transparency makes it hard to figure out answers to this kind of question.
I understand why people would prefer user fees to nationally-distributed taxes. What rubs me the wrong way is the lottery application fees. Charging the people who visit a park is one thing. Charging people who want to visit a park, apply to do so on a govt website, and are denied, is another. If this was an account setup fee I might be able to understand. But charging it every time you throw your hat in the ring seems inefficient and exploitative.

SBF was a donor to those politicians, but a conspirator with the attorney general. Whole other level of involvement.

The US can put in an extradition request and it will be handled…by the same attorney general who is in on it.

Re: your link, getting SBT to testify would be a win, especially if he was physically travels to the US to do so, where he could be arrested. The general legal strategy when under threat is to say nothing that can be used against you.
Interesting. Maybe just a DNS issue? I don't have an iPhone at hand to test it myself.
This is a good reason for why it's taking so long -- It seems from a lot of reporting that there was theft/fraud, but prosecutors probably want extremely solid evidence (including some details on where the money went) before arresting, or attempting extradition.

Can confirm, I uninstalled snapd the day I installed Ubuntu 22.04 and I have been running it for months. Firefox seems to be the only popular package that redirects to a snap (out of my own usage this whole time, at least).

I don't know why they did that, and I am a bit worried I will have to abandon Ubuntu if they move more packages to snaps in the next release. But for now all you need to do is the workaround above for Firefox.

Swartz wasn't arrested in January by the FBI for the downloading - but by MIT police for breaking and entering. He couldn't have been arrested by the Feds before the indictment or criminal complaint was filed, which didn't take place until 6 months later. I suspect you're right on the timing though, especially with all of the whining about how he hasn't been charged yet. It'll be a politically savvy move for the Feds to file something quickly here and then supersede it eventually when the full scope is clear.
I'll go against the grain here and hard-disagree.

My Canon has locked up hard only once in half a decade of hard use, generating ~8TB of images in adverse conditions. It is sometimes left turned on for months at a time.

There's no alternative to diesel for shipping vessels at the moment so the only thing this does is increasing prices for EU consumers and businesses.

It's like what triggered the Yellow Vests protests in France: a tax on diesel when people have no alternative. It seems that nothing was learnt from that.

A constructive approach would be to invest in developing alternatives then you can tax away to hasten change.
