The phrase "The Child Is the Teacher" triggers me a little because I hang out with some hippies who form circles, pass around talking sticks, and ask questions that children in the group are not equipped to answer.

After long awkward silences some child volunteers an answer which is completely wrong and the adults act like this is pure gold.

It bugs me on many levels, but I think children want to know that the adults around them are in control and that they are in a safe environment and that's not what is happening here necessarily.
It's clear that the current economic system cannot accommodate a world like that and we either change or live in a world with a handful of trillionaires and billions of desperately poor people.

Get a pair of decent passive bookshelf speakers, according to your budget. I have Q Acoustics 3020 (around $300) because they fit my budget, and I could try them and liked the way they sounded. But you can find much cheaper and better than the usual desktop speaker kit, or more expensive. That's the most important piece of equipment.

For the amplifier, you can get Chinese "full digital amplifiers" (FDA) for ~$150, for example the SMSL AD18. These things are really impressive for the price and size, that one is 2x70W, which is good enough for bookshelf speakers (enough to be uncomfortably loud without distorsion). There is no need for a "control puck" because the amp itself with its volume knob is not that much bigger than a control puck. If you want to go cheaper, there are good enough chip-based analog amps in the same form factor, you can go down to ~$50 with the power supply. It is impressive how good these cheap class D amps can get.

A common hack if you don't mind spending some time with a soldering iron is to buy a cheap amp with a good chip on AliExpress or similar and then replace shitty knockoff/underspecced components (ex: capacitors) with good ones. This is often enough to get you to audiophile level quality for a fraction of the price. You don't really need to, the knockoffs components are bad but not that bad, that's only if you are considering $1000+ equipment. Amps are rarely the weakest link nowadays. Speakers and how they are set up are.

As for the subwoofer, with good bookshelf speakers, you may not even need one for your desktop. But if you do, you can buy one separately and either connect it to the subwoofer output if you have one on your amp (FDAs normally have one), or, if you go for analog stereo, put the subwoofer between the amp and speakers, most subwoofers have dedicated connections for that (and it is perfectly fine).

Edit: ah, yes, cables, in case it wasn't clear, it doesn't matter. For speaker cables, the thicker the better, but with the distances involved, even that is not a big deal. Power cord (ex: romex) is perfect. For interconnects, especially if it is digital, anything goes.

That's not true. You're generalising based on a minority of noisy idiots who should be ignored. Blocking them to increase the SNR is eminently sensible.
Not so unconventional any more but some people use MIDI to control DMX-512 based lighting systems in shows:

https://www.lightjams.com/midiDMX.html

This makes for a much cheaper lighting controller (any old keyboard with MIDI) and lets you sync the lights to the music when part of the music is MIDI based.

Relatively new controllers such as the Linnstrument and Seaboard Rise can output MIDI MPE to control many musical parameters at the same time in expressive ways. In your thinking about unconventional uses for MIDI, MPE might give you a lot more data to work with.

I created two video camera based Theremin's to output MIDI data a long time ago, one for a PC and one for an Amiga:

The other way to look at it is that by those businesses not meeting the obligations of a (dumb) system where healthcare is tied to employment, everyone else subsidizes their employees. I'm not interested in subsidizing Walmart so they can pay more people less money and become even more dominant - removing the availability of higher quality goods from the market in many locales - as a result.
Just to clarify …

You are correct that burning a SIM card is not that expensive.

However, your example of a text capable VOIP number is not a good one. FAANGs require a real mobile number and these texting services (twilio, for instance) will not work.

All of this to say:

It’s a bit more expensive than you think. If you really care about succeeding, you’re going to need to burn a SIM card.

To be clear what you're saying is that you have stopped disputing the data, but ... oh look over there! hey, who needs data when you have anecdotes?
This dawned on me as well when I watched a Feynman video on electromagnetism. He talked about that you can explain the "how" of its working, but not the "why". The fundamental forces of the universe are basically magic fields. And this is true for anything that is fundamental and can't be deconstructed further into more primary components.
Speaking about backups, I recently set up a back up process for my home server including a recovery plan, and that makes me sleep better at night !

I have Duplicati [0] that does a backup of the data of my many self hosted applications
Every day, encrypted and stored in a folder on the server itself.

Only the password manager backup is not encrypted by Duplicati, because it's encrypted using my master password, and it stores all the encryption keys of the other backups.

Then, I have a systemd service to run rclone [1] every day after the backups finished to sync the backup folder towards :

- Backblaze B2

- AWS S3 Glacier Deep Archive

For now I only use the free tier of B2 as I have less than a GB to backup, but that's because I haven't installed next cloud yet !

However, I still like using S3 because I am paying for it (even though deep Archive is very cheap) and I'm pretty sure if something happens with my account, the fact that I'm a paying customer will prevent AWS from unilaterally removing my data (I have seen posts about google accounts being closed without any recourse, I hope I'm protected of that with AWS)

Right now I only have CalDav/CardDav, my password manager and my configs being backed up, but I plan to use Syncthing to also backup other devices towards the home server, to fit inside what I already configured.

If anyone has advice on what I did/did not do/could have done better please tell me !

I spent an hour asking probing questions of ChatGPT last night about ideas and stuff for a side project and we came up w/ a pretty good one for Shopify, it's like an inner monologue on Steroids, because you don't always know what it's going to give you and sometimes it's einstein levels sometimes it's Trump level, but if you can smell bullshit you'll do okay. We were brainstorming app ideas for existing marketplaces and ecosystems. It had some duds, but also some gems. The more you prime it with outside examples the better it does.

> I think you mean 2010s, with the release of Avatar in 2009 ?

I in fact don't. The wave starts earlier.

> 3D now being an option in cinemas everywhere

It's an option that not many people pick. Even before the pandemic, 3D ticket sales were declining: https://www.flatpanelshd.com/news.php?subaction=showfull&id=...

And it has rebounded less well than 2D: https://www.statista.com/statistics/259987/global-box-office...

Compare that with the introduction of color or sound, and it's pretty obvious that 3D films are at best a niche. I haven't heard of any 3D film that's offered only in 3D. Even Avatar 2 is available in 2D, suggesting that even James Cameron, one of 3D's biggest proponents, considers it optional.

Will theaters keep offering it? Probably, but theaters are a business in decline and so are desperate for anything that gets people coming in. Just looking at some theaters selling Avatar tickets, 3D is treated as an amenity like Dolby sound or reclining seats or "plush rockers", whatever those are. Perfectly nice, but hardly the stuff of societal transformation like Zuckerberg is hoping for.
It’s funny how it gained more traction later as a trend!
> Argument 1) is irrelevant since tools can handle any notation, even completely non-readable for human. Argument 2) is weak, however similarity to known things drastically simplifies adoption.

Argument 1 is not about whether tools can handle the comma-first format well or not (which is what the counter-argument focuses on).

Instead, the argument that tools can themselves solve the problem that comma-first format is used to work around (so there's no need for it).

That is, the "anti-comma-first" argument is not that "we shouldn't use comma first because tools can't easily handle it".

It's "the thing people attempt to solve with comma-first, namely not accidentally forgetting a comma, tools like linters can warn us about, so it's not something we should change our natural formatting to manually solve".
i think that people who believe that such a world is even remotely possible, even with most "menial" tasks automated, are utterly delusional.

resources are finite, even if you're using very efficient fully automated planning & execution systems to utilize said resources. something's got to give, and most likely in such a world it will be the ability to procreate (get neutered, receive shelter, sustenance and healthcare for life).
It does seem that long term Europe should be segregated from the www.

For small entities Euro compliance is impossible. Say for Michigan's largest Mustang parts website. Euro's often respond this they would never bother and their targets are big tech, but illegal and not prosecuted is not the same as legal. And it is telling that the law doesn't say "this only applies to corps with more the 100 million in Euro revenue". It applies to all companies and individuals. It should be possible for such a site to "opt out of Europe" and have safe harbor.

And there is no way it makes sense for the whole world's web to be regulated by a Euro court. There is no reason for a user in the US to see GDPR banners.

Maybe a great firewall to id Europe users, and if you use a vpn to escape it US law doesn't recognize it as valid.
Not everyone's name is on their property. This is most common with public figures, celebrities but is also common among people that have stalkers and others bothering them at home. There are a few ways to do this but the most common is to have a company purchase the property and place it into a trust not named after the individual. This can have tax implications in some states but the aforementioned people may find that as an acceptable trade-off.

It would be really nice to explain what the differences between GNOME, Mate, Cinammon, Unity, KDE, XFCE, LXwhatever, etc are that make each of the "lightweight" or "heavyweight".

I did a recent Ubuntu MATE install, and that was the best desktop installation experience I have ever had for explaining the desktop features, themes, etc. Every desktop should look at that and copy it.

But the fact you have distribution X desktop as the fundamental balkanization of linux desktop continuing just makes me despair. The desktops should be striving for a unified experience across the distros to as much a degree as possible.
That is amazing!

The problem is always people.

Even if everyone buys into a process the process is only as good as the people in it.

A process doesn't guarantee results - it guarantees consistency. Sometimes that means you get consistently bad results. But the good thing about having an actual process is that it's easier to change it to see if it works if it isn't delivering.

The latter is what most process people forget - the process is a living thing, not a stone tablet of commandments.

But really, "Conceptual Integrity" is the key. When everyone is working towards a goal and cranking away it's magic, because things seem to happen on their own. They don't, though.
We understand that many businesses and services wouldn’t exist without ads — we just don’t care.

In fact, it’s not apathy, it’s antipathy.

I think the world would be a better place if ad-supported businesses, advertisers, advertiser-driven tracking, and ad-tech companies simply did not exist.
Fine, give it to me. I'll take it.

What does using mean? If it's posting publicly on social media? Why not. I mean, if facebook default privacy settings were "private" for the kids and only ascendants (IE parents or legal guardians, and main professor (to allow children withing a class to interact with each other)), its not a great idea, but at least it does "protect the children".

If it's using altogether, i mean, tough luck.
>Then, some random guy says he doesn't think Facebook's interpretation is right, a court agrees, and all of those billions of dollars have gone to waste.

so when you say a crazy way of making laws, you mean the way that laws basically get made?

>No regulator has had the idea of just going to Facebook,

pretty sure there was all sorts of conversations with Facebook and others over at least 5 years where it was quite clear people wanted to fix privacy issues and it was also clear that it was in Facebook's financial interest that it not get fixed.

>tried to draft a forward-looking law that will make the whole system better?

Facebook doesn't want the system better, Facebook wants the system to benefit them. At some point these things are incompatible. No body has gone to a bank robber and tried to discuss with them how to best draft the laws on how to stop the robbing of banks, because of an intuitive understanding that it is not the bank robber's intention to help stop the robbing of banks.

So when the law gets made to stop the robbing of banks, the bank robber than goes ahead and breaks it.

Or in the case of Facebook they say we are obeying the law! But still try to do what the law wants them not to do.

But I think this is the core of our disagreement here
>according to their fair reading of that law

I would say according to their desire to get around that law.

There's no problem with advertising, the issue is with companies misusing people's data. If a company wants to use targetted advertising then they just have to openly ask for consent to do so, but tying it up with the terms and conditions to use the site is hardly asking for consent.

> The lawsuit filed late Wednesday for former employees Carolina Bernal Strifling and Willow Wren Turkal on behalf of similarly-situated female workers makes the claim that 57% of female employees were laid off on Nov. 4, compared to 47% of male employees, citing a spreadsheet.

The latter employee mentioned here is actually male, so I wonder how this claim will play out in court, considering that he's not really in the sex category that his lawsuit claims has been discriminated against.
I would suggest reading some of the sources of those stories instead of just the headlines ^^

It's not my revenue. If you believe any business is evil if it has has paid salaries out of the revenues boosted by efficient advertising, that's your prerogative.

I am open to hearing how exactly targeted advertising has damaged our society but I will not accept vague notions of spying and privacy as an argument.

Most of the entities powerful enough to spy on you currently, will continue to do so discretely.
I feel like it depends on who you users are. At work, we cared a long time about IE users. Nowadays we don't, we would care about safari, but as that browser is untestable, we don't. So you either use chrome or Firefox LTS+ or the newest safari. Nothing else matters now.
The east coast around Dublin (fortuitously, as the major population center) has good banks in relatively shallow waters ~10-20km offshore (Oriel, Kish, Bray, Codling, Arklow banks). There are only 7 offshore turbines in operation today (Arklow, 2003 25MW, planned expansion deferred), but hundreds more planned within the next 5 years. Less wind than the west or north coasts, which is seemingly less amenable, but there is at least one bank planned for Galway.

How valuable is "personalized ads"?

I can see that there's not much point in serving me ads for e.g. women's clothing, because I'm not a woman. But even if you knew everything I read online, I think you'd be hard-pressed to guess what I want to buy.

So I don't believe that advertisers need to know all about me. They just need a few data points: am I a man or a woman, do I ever buy anything (do I have any money), and that's about it. Beyond that, I don't see how having more data makes it easier to get ad conversions.

I've never worked in this area, and I drive with ads turned off, so I honestly don't know.
>It's basic arithmetic to add up how many total dollars you make in a week, divide it by the number of hours and compare it to what other jobs pay. Then threaten to quit unless your boss pays you as much as you could get elsewhere, or take the other job if they won't.

The uncertainty is the problem. Sure, you can wait a few months and do some math to get what your average weekly pay would be. However not every week is an average week. Some weeks you might see 2x your average pay and some weeks you might see 1/2x your average pay. Have 3 of those below average weeks in a month and maybe you can't pay rent. That is what causes the stress. Stress kills people.

These people don't have benefits. New legislation gives them benefits. I doubt the people who now receive these benefits are worried about upholding the status quo.

>Those are the things that work best, because the incentives are aligned. If your plan relies on people acting against their own interests, how often does that work?

There are two incentives for abolishing tipping, help the service workers and make things easier for the consumer. An individual consumer refusing to tip is making things easier for themselves and saving money. However, while they claim to be motivated by helping service workers, they are in fact harming an individual service worker. I doubt that service worker thinks the incentives are aligned.

Specifically for OAuth2 the authentication part for flows that requires redirect, is on the shoulders of the authentication platform. There is no specific API that says how to do it. I can use my user/password to do the login. This is why you have to use a browser if that platform require you to enter the credentials in the browser. Up to that login and from that login, everything is governed by oauth2.

An alternative system, might open the authentication phase in a mobile app or a biometric input, etc... The application at the end of the url will be deciding how to do that.

The reason for the whole thing is that we want to separate the area in which needs protection (authorization) and the area which does the authentication and can sit at a trusted site and may supply services to several resource servers.

You can play with such an implementation with an open source keycloak server. It really clearly reveals how the whole thing works.
