I think you are right in your suspects - I mostly have 0 problems with WSL2/WSL1 and using it daily and probably spend 50% of active time inside on of that terminal session.

For WSLg, I've played around for 15 minutes, tried gnome-terminal, xeyes and may be something else and disabled it - literally have nothing I'd want to run from Linux gui apps.
It wouldn't allow them to deduplicate across users, which they are likely doing.

When you send your group iMessage of 30 people the same photo, apple is not storing 30 copies of it, but, one.
I think front end is possessed with abstraction and DRY. Everything has to be a library or npm module, People keep on writing their on versions of same stuff most of the times because they didn’t liked the name of the function or order of arguments. Complexity in front end is definitely increased by obsession of abstraction while it should’ve reduced it
It still happens on an 8GiB laptop even with zram (I should probably buy a ram stick at this point).
What exactly is the point you are trying to make here? Any government with “Islamic” in the name is ulu-ul-amr and gets to kill people for opposing it? When Shias in Zia’s time didn’t want Zakat deducted from their bank accounts and marched in Islamabad would it have been halal to kill them in your book?
One thing ncdu does not improve on over du | sort is that it still needs to scan the full directory structure before even displaying any result.

I would like something that starts estimating sizes immediately, and then refines those estimations as it is able to spend more time. I tried writing it myself, but I ended up not quite knowing how to go about it, because just getting the count of files in a directory takes about as long as getting the total size of said files...

(Another problem is that file sizes are notoriously fat tailed, so any estimation based on a subset of files is likely to underestimate the true size. Maybe by looking at how the estimation grows with more data one can infer something about the tail exponent and use that to de-bias the estimation?)

Yep. The failures of traditional markets when applied to non-cryptocurrency representations of cryptocurrency are legion. There have been so many classical finance scams hiding behind cryptocurrency buzzwords that most people mistake the market scams for Bitcoin itself.
I always thought that program was technically limited from the start. It seems like it would be very easy to rotate a small value of the file, even a single pixel, and return a different checksum.
I really enjoy the automatically generated iPhoto “experiences” that include background music and photo/video effects that appear sometimes, more often after I took vacation pictures. Hopefully those can be generated on my device and I won’t have to give those up to get encryption at rest.
As someone who is dealing with this problem (27" 1440p monitor), I read that macOS renders the whole screen as a whole, instead of having a separate path for text. And there is a threshold PPI before it uses 2x assets. I had to use either a blurred rendering for bigger UI elements or the sharp, but small, representation at the native resolution. BetterDisplay[0] helped by tricking the OS to use the 2x assets at a smaller resolution. Still not as clear as my MBA's screen.

>They actually systematically scan photos and declare people to the police if IA determines it looks wrong.

Obviously the commenter is talking about the new E2EE plan. No way to scan it then, under they do it on device, which they also walked away from.
This is trash and Apple is trash.

1) They explicitly state that they're going to keep an eye on the hashes of your files, allowing them to nuke anything they don't like from orbit system-wide. They still know what you have in cases where someone else has it and they know the plaintext. They're definitely going to scan what you keep in their cloud. It will start with kiddie porn, but then it'll be that plus terrorist documents (and who decides what that is???), and then illegal music and movies, and then...

2) It's all implemented with closed-source mysteryware. Who the fuck knows what it's doing? You've got to trust their pinky-swear, and you shouldn't. It probably works as it is described until it receives the special wink from Apple's servers, and then it sends along your private keys (possibly using an exploit they put there on purpose). If it's not verifiable (open-source and reproducible builds), it's a pinky swear.

3) This is your reminder that your iMessage isn't actually E2EE, they have a lot of the keys on their own servers.

These are all things they could fix, but don't. And they won't fix them because they don't actually give a damn about your privacy and security. We should all demand open-source, reproducibly-built encryption software.
One of the problems with domain restrictions on CAs is that real world geography has turned out to not correlate with domain name 'geography' for general use. Organizations located in a country (or the EU or etc) will register their domains all over, instead of nicely restricting themselves to something under a single TLD or a small number of them, where they could use a restricted-scope CA. This mostly leaves you with organizational CAs, such as government ones (for the government's sites), and they seem to not have been too popular in practice.
I struggle with the very same problem. Even connecting a real physical SIM won't protect accounts from suspension. This is crazy because it isn't based on behavior on the platform (like posting too much or liking too much) but merely on the IP and browser fingerprint.

Unfortunately, no solutions in sight.
> neglect to mention that Chinese are even worse?

Because they're not. PRC has worst fabs due to equipment sanctions, and now expertise sanctions (first by TW, then US). But said sanctions were placed at all because the cost and quality (east asian work ethic etc) of PRC semi workers weren't in question. Versus US workers being described as "group of giant babies" by TSMC employees ranting on PPT about doing more work for less pay than Americans in Arizona. Experience doesn't matter if you don't work hard enough. It's precisely because PRC workers, who can keep up with TSMC "military" pace, have demonstrated potential to run great fabs that led to companies like TSMC expanding in PRC in the first place, and why US had to do export controls, and do massive CHIPs subsidy to get fabs on US soil.

"interracial couples" wow.. Perhaps this really speaks to our difference in perspectives based on where we live. I live in Vancouver, and find the increased representation of gay, queer, nonbinary, interracial people very true to my lived experience. Of course, lots of film and television is filmed here so maybe it's not that surprising.

I also don't disagree with your point. But I am also intentionally informing them how their actions may be percieved by a bystander, or their own potential resource pool.

While they are pre-judging others for not using gmail because they see that as weird, I am a valuable capable potential producer judging them for their failings of both academic integrity (as in you just shouldn't do that simply because it's not right) AND also seperately for their failing of pure intelligence and their own self interest, because in fact some of the smartest most capable people are the ones willingly and knowingly taking on the burden of not using gmail for either practical or principled reasons, and they are filtering those people out, which I judge to be stupid. Those are probably exactly the most valuable people to their own interests.

While from the other side, I don't necessarily consider it to be stupidly filtering out potential employers, because I am not desperate for any scrap of employment.

I haven't noticed any special problem with my own PM address, but I have never tried to cold call anyone from it. So I would possibly agree that filtering out 90% is too much even if I'm not desperate, but I haven't encountered that problem because I'm not trying to contact a large number of new strangers.
> Bond stories consist mostly of one-dimensional heroes and villains and their empty-headed sidekicks, predictably shoehorned into some Disney-style morality play...

Sounds like you've seen the Bond movies. Ian Fleming wrote the books. The relationship between those often amounts to "the movie used the book's title, and the name of the book's protagonist".
Apple offers hi res audio, but most cant and wont take advantage of it. Why? because most users of apple music use AirPods, and apple claims lossless wireless audio is not possible (despite the existence of LDAC). Therefore, you are streaming hi res audio to your phone only to downscale it when listening via your headset. Only people who really benefit are carriers, who can rate limit your data.

Is this enough to attribute such an attack?

Apple doesn't seem to be in the business of selling software very much. Instead it's mostly used to increase the value of the hardware. The stuff I've seen them incorporate that at one time were apps weren't 30% cheaper when bought from Apple, they were free (i.e., they came with the device).

If they think some third party feature should be part of the core experience, they're going to incorporate it. This is true when building on anyone's platform (e.g., Microsoft, Facebook). Non-core experiences, like domain specific software, are less likely to suffer this fate. It's similar to when MS decided to ship a browser. God help you when the platform you're on decides they want to subsume your features.

You're making a semantic argument here. The impact of "de-russification" is the same, regardless of how you want to label the motives.

> Y'know this sounds like a Russian propaganda talking points, right?

I'm stating a fact. ...and yes, the Russian media does absolutely capitalize on the restrictions on the Russian language - which is an added problem. ...but that doesn't mean that those rules don't exist. And they exist for good reason.

The restriction of the Russian language is a legitimate mechanism to limit Russian influence in their country and to build a new national identity. Ukraine, the Baltics, Central Asia - everyone has been doing it - and it has accelerated.

> Apple is famously the company that tells rent seekers after more ROI above all to f off (both Jobs and Cook).

One of my favorite CEO moments comes from Tim Cook on an earnings call:
“If you want me to do things only for ROI reasons, you should get out of this stock,”
And then more recently “If you're a short-term trader, do not invest in the Apple stock,”

I understand both, but it’s so odd to hear a CEO tell people “no, we don’t want your money” and I will grant that Apple is luckily not in the position of needing it.
So far Apple doesn't seem to be interested in breaking the law.

They did speak out about it, which is in the same article linked above that sources the FB disputation statement (https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/06/facebook-and-signal-are-figh...):

> We absolutely did try to run these. The ads were rejected, and Facebook disabled our ad account. These are real screenshots, as Facebook should know.

I don't think your logic about companies lying really tracks with the historical record. Companies, when they believe they can get away with it, lie all the time.

Again, I'm not saying that one organization was certainly lying or not-lying; I'm just challenging your presupposition that Signal was lying.
I very much doubt you could use this with an average set of friends and family no matter how hard you try. You're going to lose touch with at least half if you insist that Jitsi is the only replacement you have to offer people for a chat application and you don't reach out to them using something they can read like email or snail mail or dropping by if you live close enough. (That's why I think GP took your post for potential irony.) Kudos to you if it works for you, but it's not a serious option.

I don't have a Facebook messenger and believe me that's bad enough without also ditching Signal because eww phone number, Threema because eww nonanonymous payments, Telegram because eww no encryption, Element because it's unstable and I don't think my mom (let alone my grandma) would be able to use that UI effectively, Briar which can fundamentally not support voice calls, Jaimi which is about as stable as Windows 95 at launch when I tried it (and this wasn't an early beta, it was called Ring before iirc, it's gone through years of development), Wire which runs on USA infrastructure and isn't focusing on consumers anymore, et cetera and so on and so forth. I've actually got most of these apps and it's already hard to find common grounds when literally everyone else has Facebook's WhatsApp and they're wondering why I'm being difficult if they're not techies or privacy nuts themselves.

> where in reality most CS grads even now probably have it better than grads of most other fields had it even in the “good times.”

I would agree and that is a valid criticism. Imagine you are not a CS grad, you may also be impacted by layoffs and hiring freezes in tech. But outside of tech the story may be different. It may be different at non FAANG tech companies as well. From what I heard on NPR the most recent jobs report still shows robust hiring which likely means the Fed will keep raising interest rates. Also the article mentioned that the profiled CS grads were expanding their job search outside of the big tech companies in general.
> We don’t know that. We know that they put ads in the App Store, that’s it. I wish they did not, because it made the store even more of an unusable mess, but it really is not even in the same league as Google and Facebooks, systematic surveillance.

I guess you managed to miss their key point about classic design:

> And it is. But it's arguably NOT functional.
This is valid but a half-point. I still have rather bitter memories of my brick-and-mortar bank slowly bleeding my checking account dry during a period of low income for 'failure to maintain a minimum balance.' Public overreach and private greed are two sides of the same coin, and addressing one without the other is a bit facile. The tyrannies you describe are often tolerated and sometimes engineered by economic incumbents who want to maintain their dominant position.

It's not that I think your view is wrong so much as incomplete.

Are you familiar with the complaint lodged against Neuralink by PCRM? Did you read the Guardian and Business Wire articles that iancmceachern posted? Do you consider the Guardian and Business Wire to be reputable news organizations, and their reporting on the issue and the statements released by PCRM a form of substantiation? Is a link to Autumn Sorrells LinkedIn, a link to Ashlee Vance's wikipedia page, and a couple of tweets by the same intended as a response to any of the above?

Might go back to this model over time. Guess it is no secret that academia is in strong decline. Lot of excellent people just don't bother anymore to enter that circus. They might do their own independent research after they succeeded financially.
You missed out the punchline: all of this follows from that the software is
proprietary/closed-source/non-Free.

You can't see how it works, you can't change how it works, and you have to
trust that it does as advertised. You must do all this in the knowledge that
over the years plenty of proprietary software vendors have outright lied to
their customers about exactly this kind of thing, e.g. [0][1].

I'm not aware of Apple ever doing so though, for what that's worth.

Not really. The Apple ID password is a regular server-verified password and does not contribute to end-to-end encryption in the cryptographic sense. In other words, it gates access to the end-to-end encrypted data, but not the keys used to encrypt them.

If you trust Apple to never get hacked or hand over your data to any third party, that's perfectly fine, but that is not the scenario that end-to-end encryption is designed to address.
