> Cases like these are the reason why the AGPL exists

Exactly. Not sure why they Ghost doesn't use AGPL. Still, it would have been kind of fair from Substack to approach this more open and collaboratively...
Hmm I had the opposite experience. I emailed them 3 or 4 bugs and they fixed it. This was several months ago though. I am a paid user to several substacks in case that matters.

Worked at Sprint back in the day and we (I) had to do this. Special certificates to produce a special OS build with the right privileges (carrier specific). The carriers and builders (Samsung etc) work together to get this in place. That on top of zero rating data being sent out for tracking allow the carrier (or builder) to do what they want.
The intent is for attribution to be kept with the code. If your minifier removes the attribution you’re likely in violation.

> The motivation to find medical benefits, to redress the social injustice of people being imprisoned for cannabis

(A) There's huge motivation to find medical benefits to anything. Indeed you should be skeptical of any "substance X improves Y!" claims, as they're usually in rats and not reproducible anyway. (If there's an actual backing study at all!) The idea that cannabis is particularly singled-out by researchers with some woke agenda seems rather silly to me.

(B) Nobody needs to prove cannabis is helpful to show that it's an extreme social injustice to imprison people for its use. It would be an injustice to imprison people for drinking soda, and soda is awful for you.
FYI dark markets often use XMR (monero) now, due to it's true anonymity. That's why a few governments around the world are one-by-one banning it's sale (see Kraken and the UK government monero situation in september 2021). Bitcoin was figured out by most big governments quite a few years ago, and dark markets are quite quickly moving on to XMR.

I find this news to be extremely surprising: everyone talked about the success of having the TSMC fab open, but nobody cared to listen to what the founder and former CEO of the company had to say. The fab might as well not be owned by TSMC.

I left Spotify but I still pay for the family plan for benefit of the rest of the family.

I moved to YouTube Music because I was ultra tired of the "Sorry your music has stopped because it looks like it is playing on another device" - I keep the music playing on my desktop nearly all day long and just adjust the volume - when I go into the kitchen or car I would also play music there but sometimes... when I play it in the kitchen and other people are in there I would just leave it running - when I go back to my desk it would have stopped, I start it again to the frustration of the other people in the house that actually liked what was playing.

With YouTube Music... this issue is no longer an issue.

I have found that the music that YTM presents is way better and frequently stuff I would never have heard from Spotify. With Spotify I seemed to always be getting the same tired stuff - some of which I swear was made by bot artists if that is a thing.
I've put in a couple of support requests and gotten reasonably prompt, helpful responses.

Possibly you're not a writer? They make it possible for writers to earn a decent amount of money (not that I am) and keep their copyright. Can you tell us another platform that does that better?

> And generally they do that by offering fewer features (and yes - aesthetics and ergonomics are features!).

XFCE has more features than modern Gnome. Aesthetics comes from GTK, which it uses. Ergonomics is better in Gnome, largely due to consistency, which I'd attribute to Gnome's development effort: more people to work on more coordinated behaviours across apps & integrations - XFCE borrows small parts of Gnome's work while also using a patchwork of other solutions from elsewhere; an approach which detracts from the UX. This is about engineer resourcing though, not engineering approach to performance. The latter is an independent variable.

There's nothing "heavy" about Gnome aesthetically of feature-wise except the general inefficiency of its implementations. Especially feature-wise in its latest incarnations: ever since the Unity/Shell split &c., the Gnome featureset as contracted significantly from what it once was.

> I want it to be extensible (js/css in gnome is pretty great)

What's great about it specifically? It's unrealised potential? Gnome's extensibility is a graveyard. The pace of API changes (another code smell when it comes to engineering approach), compared to the tiny level of community contribution of Shell extensions means most of those available for download are broken. Those that work are minimal / have inconsistent UX / no docs. If you've got to write your own code to customise the thing anyway, why not just use a more esoteric highly-customisable DE in the first place?
> Disease is a particularly curious example because disease spreads much more readily in an urban environment.

Mainly for human-only diseases. Bacterial and fungal diseases can be a much different story. Still a couple of naturally occurring anthrax cases in USA per year in rural areas even.

I disagree. It's more comprable to if they used WordPress instead of Ghost. The database is a few layers further down, whereas Ghost is basically 90% of the end product (not sure how much they've adapted, but looks like a lot from John's Tweet)

It doesn't make sense to focus on a game with a declining player base like CS:GO, when you have games like Fortnite, that on average have between 2.9 - 4 million people playing at any given time.
It was a lot of logistics with physical cash. But yeah I tried to run it as close to "real" as possible in case I did hit legal issues (isolating the entities, not comingling funds). Also, had to make sure for taxes that the cycled cash wasn't possibly viewed as income to either entity. There were a few optimization steps I found that helped me streamline the logistics but I still was withdrawal-ing cash from the ATM business account daily. To start the cycle over again.

I kept a small amount in the consumer accounts. Maybe $300-500. The cash took 2-3 days to do the loop if I recall. And this allowed me to keep do multiple $20 withdrawals each day on each account.

It got big enough that I employed someone to sit at the ATM and make transactions. Then I bought 2 more ATMs so they could multitask / reduce idle time during the 1 minute it took for the machine to process and dispense.

I stopped it when I realized the numbers were getting kind of big and a few banks had caught on and closed my accounts. Then because of the physical cash, I was worried about getting robbed. I was getting very paranoid about the whole thing and decided to wrap it up. I remember meeting a few times with attorneys during it to get varying opinions. Over time, the advise turned into "we think it's legal, but you should really stop it".

There was also another smaller but pretty invisible loophole I found with interchange. I could set the surcharge to $0 and so long as the cardholder bank didn't charge "foreign ATM fees" then I'd make about $0.50 per transaction. Much smaller, but order of magnitude more banks offer this feature versus the surcharge rebate feature. The surcharge and the rebates were line items on the bank statements. So, any person at the bank that looked at my account could see the fees and that it was costing them money. With this hack, there was no line item on my bank accounts (only the amount withdrawn). So it looked like the ATM owner did not benefit at all. But, in the background the ATM owning entity received ~$0.5 per transaction of interchange fee.

It sounds stupid, but at the time, my idea was to test this out and then sell a 'get rich quick' style ebook explaining how it works.
Honest question, are you on a free plan? I use Spotify daily and did not even know they offered audiobooks until I read it in this threads linked article. I knew about podcasts, but have never had it thrown in my face, or even mentioned. Where are these ads the OP is complaining about?
We can look at how solar/wind/storage compete with putative fusion. Fusion is a baseload source, so let's see how they would do to provide "synthetic baseload".

https://model.energy/

Selecting the state of Minnesota, 2011 weather data, and 2030 cost assumptions, this would be about 70 Euro/MWh. The cost optimized solution would involve 222 hours of hydrogen storage, 5 hours of battery storage, 4.2x peak power of solar and 2.4x peak power of wind.

I decided to give KDE a shot again after over a decade running minimal window managers, and while I really like the interface, it occasionally just freezes the entire system for multiple seconds at a time. Screen stops updating, mouse and keyboard don't do anything. This is on an i7 laptop with 16 GB of memory. This never happened under StumpWM.
It does, but it really isn't actionable in the same way. Given a specific structure, you need to know what the generators are for that structure, and so that ends up being a list of "if you've got this structure... then you need to check ..."—which is exactly what Tao provided.

I've worked in those rooms and data-centers decades after the fact. Just dirtier, cluttered, and the hardware's been replaced. Not always replaced though. There are always old relics squirreled away in an interstitial space or in plain sight holding up new equipment.

I've been remote for many years now and honestly, I kinda miss those abandoned corners of business/tech. Had a weird dystopian vibe. Existing in the rubble of a more advanced society.
This isn't likely IMO. It's not like there's a robust API to find "lonely people" in the first place, and the difficulty in creating sympathetic people to talk to for a long period of time without slipping up once will be immensely hard. What if they want to voice chat, or play a video game?

Also, don't cults have a massive surplus of people-time as is? I get the feeling that, if I wanted to go and join a cult, it's not like they would tell me they were short-staffed and there was a waiting list.

More likely (and mundane) outcome is that people use it to create cheap online therapy services. Good ROI, clearly defined goals, very large addressable market, easier to find people willing to work on it.

Ask people to explain how vehicles tires are made (from raw resource to manufacture and distro) and suddenly globalization makes sense - it's the only way toward the future. Subtext is required to discern what is good and bad about it.

Yeah, I was comparing vehicle cost to vehicle cost, So yeah, Apollo was much higher, because of the costs to operate the tracking network, etc - which isnt rolled into this new program today.
Yeah, powerline data transmission seems impractical. It works, but reliability has always been a huge problem for me, even with the most expensive adapters. Now that I own instead of rent, I just run ethernet for my computers. For smart home, I don't really care for throwing RF at every single problem, but ZigBee and Zwave at least do work, so I am just doing that for now.

What would be cool is just having something simple, like maybe one or two wire serial, at least between the switches and bulbs. Today, the best solution I'm aware of for smart bulbs is something like Inovelli Blue Series or Embrighten switches, which can associate with the bulbs directly. Even though in smart bulb it must use RF, it can at least skip the hub and work when everything else is down.

(Though, I am a little disappointed that I had to bypass the power control for my Blue Series. I was hoping I could have it connected to measure power usage even in smart bulb mode, but it seems even in smart bulb mode where the power is passthru you still can't have an inductive load like a ceiling fan motor or it will cause problems. Bummer.)
On the free tier, does bot fight mode do anything other than simply detect bots based on JavaScript detections?
Your 20 years feels way off. The bulk of the problems (i.e. a decade plus of terrible governance, Brexit vote, lack of investment, self defeating austerity) stem from the votes of a predominantly older generation (yes hashtag not all old people etc etc).

The problem for the UK is and will remain the older generations - post silent generation - until nature runs its course and the country can undergo much needed reform.
I agree with most of what you have to say, yet we have to be careful with comparisons like:

> People forget that the entire early MacOs, GEOS, windows DE's used to run in a matter of a couple hundred K.

The simplest example is to consider graphics. Early systems had limited resolution, limited colour depth, expected applications to repaint regions when necessary, and only sometimes offered primitive forms of graphics acceleration. Most people will want to see improvements on all of those fronts, yet has to be paid in memory use.

Should the jump be as big as it has been? Certainly not. On the other hand, using the earliest of GUI's as an example is misleading since the improvements I mentioned will require about 1,000 times the memory.
I tested out a bunch of other apps (Tidal, Quoboz.. maybe more) and Spotify had by far the best Carplay/Android Auto app. The others were incredibly limited that they basically felt like "well at least it exists."

I get to decide if you're straw manning my point (you are).

These subsidies were created to affect the behavior of farmers and now there's bitching that farmers want to keep the behavior that most benefits them and people are doing it by trying to argue these farmers are just bad for doing exactly what people initially wanted them to do.

If you think farmers are using the same techniques they were back in 1066 then perhaps you're strawmanning more than just me.

I worked at a chain retail store once upon a time. There was a self-proclaimed nazi (he was proud of it of course) that came in daily and stole a lot of merchandise. Company policy was to do nothing, essentially.

The nazi also had a criminal record for raping a young boy.

The parent put it this way:

> If a person is disabled or uneducated and can’t hold a job, that person should still get an equal say in society’s preferences even though they have no money with which to express their preferences

Morally and rationally the nazi child rapist should not have equal say in society's preferences. Any society - any culture - that is stupid enough to place that person's preferences at a level of equality, deserves and will have earned its inevitable collapse. And there are far worse monsters roaming about than the nazi child rapist. While my specific example is an outlier (on purpose), the premise is far more expansive in principle.

It's also why a Constitutional Republic is vastly superior to actual Democracy.

Backup software.
My understanding is that these days most technical people are wary of being locked into a single platform, so even though substack is making a pretty compelling walled garden anyone with knowledge of recent SV history is hesitant to dive head first into it. As once they get big enough they’re pretty much guaranteed to do something anti-competitive that is against the interests of their customers/users who now have no choice as the cost of leaving has grown too large.
MageOS is not a maintenance mode, unfortunately we don't do a good job expressing that.

The goal is to migrate management of the codebase out of Adobe's hands back into the community's. Community PRs, triage, etc.

We're currently working on getting the entire CI pipeline setup in Github Actions (if you're interested in contributing, we could really use friendly faces, it's quite an undertaking). Once we're past that, we have goals that are in progress:

DevX:

1. Correct the dep graph of MageOS to be a legitimate DAG and then use nx/bazel/make, etc to compute the build graph.
2. Create codespaces/gitpods/devcontainers for easier day 1 devs.
3. Rip GraphQl out into a separate package space.
4. Create smaller more use-case specific metapackages so that you're not forced into all of Magento or nothing.
5. Maintain backwards compatibility with existing Magento packages.

UX:
1. Significantly improve overall performance.

MerchX:
1. Improve Merch documentation and make Merch docs easier to consume.

Generally to your question, we're not interested in maintenance, we're interested in taking on the burden of being a better development effort alongside a better merchant experience.

That said, this is not a sales pitch. The problem is hard, but we'd like to prove that we're harder.
