By using heterosexual, non-paedophilic women as one end of the spectrum, and paedophiles at the other, we can see that indeed, such statements by the former would raise no eyebrows. Such statements by the latter would raise eyebrows. That's because of context/prior behaviour.

Roth has a lot of tweets that would provide context that invites raised eyebrows, especially given his PhD dissertation, and his behaviour as head of Trust and Safety, where he suppressed the #groomer hashtag, and given an overall context where people of Roth's political persuasion are hyping up drag queens dancing for children and he's actively suppressing criticism of it. That's so easy to explain.

I also might add that women have a biological urge to give birth and take into account the male's skills as a father. To say that (some or all) gay guys have this may be true but it seems a stretch, and why express it out loud when you're supposed to look like you give a damn about CSAM? At the very least, his tweets are utterly stupid and reckless. If a headteacher tweets "wow, women are hot but women holding babies, extra hot!" wouldn't you pause? How about if he tweets out from his main account "I have a secret dirty twitter account", you wouldn't raise an eyebrow? Please.

As to "that could easily lead to this person being targeted by crazy vigilante types", firstly, that could be said of anything, though we do have another spectrum, running from (to a reasonable person) non-threatening through marking out undesirables to directly threatening. The marking can lead to actual threatening situations, like before a genocide, but they also overlap with valid criticism, and since we're not in a genocide situation I struggle to see how the tweets in question reach that bar. Find something that says "we should kill paedos" from LoTT and you'll have a much stronger case, otherwise you've taken up a position where you're arguing against someone who's against paedophilia, simply because they're a political opponent. That's how this endless cycle continues.
If you ever want to stop wallowing in misanthropic nihilism, I recommend reading books like "More From Less" - Mcafee which shows that capitalism does in fact reduce/moderate consumption. Next look at "Speed and Scale" - Doerr, or "How to Solve a Climate Disaster" - Gates for a giant list of human innovations that will in fact decrease/reverse climate change.
We should start having a conversation about what the new social contract will look like and when and how it should be phased in.

Twitter has been rotting pretty steadily since he initially stated his intent to buy it. Many, many accounts I follow are gone, their tweets deleted.

And now all the tweets referencing mastodon are gone too.
He's also tanking Twitter's value. The people he's booting bring people to Twitter.
> The vaccine has stayed just as effective for serious disease as it always was said.

It wasn't, this is just how you're coping with your cognitive dissonance.

There are. They are called the Darwin Awards. They have a website and everything.

> The great thing, it’s mostly right wing voters dying. :)

No I know you don't really mean it, you're just angry and lashing out because you've been wrong and humiliated so many times. You're a good person deep down I think.

And surprise surprise, you're wrong about this too. Vaccination rates correlate highly with age, and so do right wing political beliefs.

Because the vaccine is more beneficial for older people. And people can in fact make reasonable decisions about their health. Incredible isn't it?
I hate writing emails and I welcome services like this. The emails I sent are usually to higher-ups and need to be super polite, precise, and without errors, so they take a while to write. ChatGPT is excellent for this purpose. I give it a summary of the email I want and some info about the recipient. Its responses are largely spot on. I slightly edit them, run them through Grammarly and Language Tool and I am usually done in 1/5 of the time it would take me to write it myself. It is much less stressful too.
Interesting! Yeah, I get a warning click-through with those as well.

My take (as a paying subscriber to both, largely because I want to support this world and think both teams are insanely talented and great) is that they're solving similar problems, with some different features.

I wish I could use both with a sync between them until I figure out which one I'd want to stick with. Or stick with both.

Pour one out. While Atom itself was overtaken by a better editor, its legacy lives on in the form of "Atom Shell" aka Electron (for better or worse).
So apparently the edit ban only affects mastodon.social, but links to any mastodon instance even those that don't have it in the name, are flagged as unsafe and require a clickthrough. It's very uneven.
I mean, some of the journalists that he's banned tonight are pretty well hated by a lot of people already. A few thousand more trolls and dozen more death threats in their social media isn't really going to move much for them.

I did a co-op semester at a large company doing work on mainframes with COBOL in the late 90s. They had brought some of us in along with some other new hires. The other hires were slightly older and come from other careers. For example, one guy wanted to get out construction and into technology and that's why he was there. The company did extensive in house training because none of this stuff is taught anywhere.

It's like an alien world where some of the ideas are similar but also everything is completely different. Linux/Mac/Windows are all different but they are not different like working with mainframes is different. So if you started without any PC background, it really doesn't matter.

Personally, it wasn't for me. The whole thing was basically frustrating. The technology was frustrating. The glacial pace of development was frustrating. One program I worked on was literally older than I was. The code quality was very high (given the technology) but that was accomplished by sheer effort rather than having smart tools.
What a brilliant new social network that has nothing to do with Mastodon at all. Full of social discourse about the singer, actress, and director Barbra Streisand entirely unrelated to current events.
To respond briefly, [Jeff at] Amazon has been convicted of being one of the leading wage thieves, and small business owners like the corner grocery store are also frequently accused and caught for wage theft. It is a pretty wide brush that's needed to evaluate the majority category of theft in the US.

I haven't mentioned anything about the effort or value employers provide. I don't think hard work from owners is relevant to the amount they thieve. And I wonder why you don't mention anything about the hard work provided by the labor who are victims to the largest category of theft, who by definition do the majority of the work obligated in business to begin with.
You're statistically wrong about layoffs. Big companies have had way more layoffs than startups. Pointing that out doesn't make me a contrarian. You can admit that you were wrong instead of digging your heels in.
Skype on phone/androind asking permission access your phone refusing WiFi call?
Is Skype on phone/androind asking permission access your phone for spying on you? (i.e. skype does not need to access phone as it should be only optional as it used to work, but since recently MS has decided to not allow skype call over WiFi or cellular data if you do not allow them to spy on you!! Skype before, and other apps like Viber do not do this and I see this as MS draconianism and greed.)

Yes! The indented syntax is why I’ve stuck with Sass, Stylus and SugarSS for all these years for the same reasons you stated.

But… I decided it was worth going back to plain CSS due to CSS Nesting and to simply my tooling.

> it doesn't seem plausible to me that the Bidens would not make that fact public

It makes sense to me, considering how damaging and embarrassing the content was. If they confirm it, they lose plausible deniability in being able to claim it's fake.

For a large period of time there was a coordinated effort to purge everything from the Internet and paint anyone bringing it up as a conspiracy theorist. It's harder to get away with that if you call attention to the leak and confirm it's authenticity.

Perhaps the laptop truly belonged to Hunter Biden. Without a confirmation or proper chain of custody, it's hard to say either way. It's not implausible that an advanced threat actor, especially one backed by a nation-state, could create an elaborate laptop forgery to 'layer'[0] hacked material into a legitimate news story and avoid the hack itself taking centre-stage like in 2016 — of course, this is speculation on my part.

Looks neat. The beta launch post is really well written and appreciate the segment on pricing.

I'd appreciate if you would consider regional pricing at some point. As it's priced today, it's more expensive than all the streaming services I use (including Netflix, Disney+). I can certainly understand why regional pricing is not for everyone and its drawbacks but just wanted to ask.
Car-free living doesn't imply the total eradication of all cars. It just means reducing dependency on them to a bare minimum: ie. those uses which cannot possibly be replaced. The former is something that literally nobody has ever proposed. The latter is something which is a serious policy option.

Also you are making a logical fallacy by assuming I am saying that -EV's- (sorry: "EV industry", different thing) are singularly responsible for the lack of decent climate policies. I just said they were an attack on the objective. One of many.

FYI: I live in Seoul and there's certainly a lot that could be done to reduce the insane amount of cars from current nightmare levels. Korea has a very powerful auto industry, one thing they could do is stop subsidizing it. Switching to EV's will undermine any effort to do that "bEcaUsE EV's aRe grEeN!"
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33877670 no direct mentions in the updates, though.
In general yes, for example https://www.flightradar24.com/ shows right now FORTE10 plane (Northrop Grumman RQ-4B Global Hawk) which is UAV heading toward Black Sea where it will be spying over Russian invasion of Ukraine and launches of Russian missiles from Black Sea in their bombing of Ukrainian cities.

Flights supplying Ukraine were routinely top viewed flights on that website (they were flying to Rzeszów in Poland, so there was no real risk of Russian shooting them down).

AWACS planes and tanker flying in holding patterns over Poland, Romania and Baltic Sea used to be top observed planes on flightradar24 but I should be now working not looking through flightradar24 planes over Poland ( so I will link https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-europe-60612255 that has video of inside one of them ).

Obviously planes flying combat missions are not publishing data there. Presumably ones training in restricted airspace are not either for also obvious reasons.
I had a lot of fun whipping up plug-ins within minutes for Atom! It let me try out ideas very quickly.
> I suffered a rare illness (still have it...)

> with a low everything

You have an illness. That's all there is to it. Don't be ashamed. I think you probably have an illness of the kind that mainstream medicine/society is very bad at understanding, treating and accommodating. I know you think it's "in control", but that's likely because you don't even know what it's like to feel and be "normal".

Everyone who seems to be doing so much better than you is doing it in a way that comes fairly naturally to them, as their health, and the way the feel and think is very different. It's not your fault that it hasn't worked out this way for you yet.

I've been through a somewhat similar path. It's awful, I know, I really do. I'm 45 and only just fully overcoming the illness I've had for much of my life - I desperately hope. It took till my very-late 30s to start earning a good income, and I became a father for the first time at 43. Life is now pretty good and getting better. But I've had to endure so much pain and shame on the way here.

Be kind to yourself. You're still very young. Keep getting therapy. Do more research into what's doing on in your body and how to get your body and mind working better. There are many options. It will probably take a long time to figure it out and get to a place where life is really great, but you absolutely can get on to a path where you're feeling better, functioning better and achieving better things week by week, then in several years you'll look back and be amazed at how far you've come.

Pay no attention to your peers who seem to be doing "better" than you now. Many of them will crash and burn in their late 20s or 30s, or just end up mediocre in middle-age. I see it a lot. If you get onto a path of healing and growth now you can live a life of steady improvement and optimism that will be incredibly fulfilling.

I wish you all the best.

Sad to see this go. I was an early adopter of Atom, and I wrote two extensions for it, one of which while it was still in beta.

The Atom developers made some technology choices that in retrospect were ill-advised, CoffeeScript being the worst of them and splitting everything into dozens of packages a close second. They tried to backpedal on both of these later on, but by that time VSCode, with its far superior engineering built around TypeScript, was rapidly taking over.

Of course, the GitHub acquisition was the last straw, but to be fair Atom was already pretty dead by then.

While the Atom project ultimately failed, it did give us Electron and Tree-Sitter, two technologies that will certainly outlive it.
Get them work for public for 10k (few months by EU standards).
For those looking for a good substitute, I've switched to Sublime Text and so far I've gotten it to pretty much a near-perfect replica of the original. Kind of surprising to me how much of the Atom UI was built to mimic the Sublime interface.

I also tried VSCode, but was never really quite able to get into the interface the same way. For a while I tried customizing the interface with plugins like CustomizeUI, but Microsoft broke those recently, and I've been happier with Sublime.

No they weren't they were tweeting the new location of the @elronjet account - all this has been through the courts a bunch of times now: posting a link is not the same as posting the content it points to
I think the people conflating this to an absolute free speech issue are missing the bigger picture. Sure Elon is doing this now for personal reasons just like he refused to reinstate Alex Jones' account.

But having public data on a website with few eyeballs doxxing your jet vs groups of coordinated users live broadcasting, retweeting, verified accounts amplifying the same data on a social media app. These are two different things.
A truth drop?

12.25 after a few attempts on mobile. I tried to use one finger only, maybe I can get much faster with two fingers.

on mobile it shows up as a 6x4 array plus a 25th box centered in the 7th row, so the key is remembering what the bottom cell is because otherwise that one doesn't immediate pop out to me. in desktop mode it looks like 5x5, time to test if that is easier or harder on the computer or in desktop mode.

I think it’s about journalists trying to keep the live location thing going which Twitter tos was updated to ban (reporting someone’s live location on Twitter is considered doxing)
That last sentence startles me. Are you proposing some people or companies have a legal obligation to make you aware of the existence of content you aren't aware of?

That sounds like a big jump even beyond "they shouldn't be able to control what they publish." Are we now going to require Twitter actively promote everything too?

How many obligations would you impose on everyone else in service of this hypothetical listener who demands to be spoon fed all points of view in the world without effort? Is a library allowed to have a collection if they don't fully advertise it's breadth? Is a bookstore allowed to choose what to and to not put on their shelves? Am I allowed to tell you what I think without telling you how many possible other views there are? Any of those are just as "chilling" as "twitter.com" not having all the content that "elonsjet.com" or "jacobin.com" or "foxnews.com" would...

Twitter/FB/etc are HARDLY important enough, and way less powerful than past media, to start telling people they have to amplify what other people say.
"Any organization that designs a system (defined broadly) will produce a design whose structure is a copy of the organization's communication structure." ( Melvin E. Conway, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_law )

This is unfortunately the death knell for DevOps organizational teams on large projects. Primarily, the design specification usually ends up being hammered into the inherent dysfunction the project was intended to solve in the first place.

Best of luck =)
Not just the bio.

I posted a tweet today that mentioned Mastodon and linked to my profile in the tweet and it was "caught" by Twitter as "sensitive content."

They said: "We put a warning message on these Tweets because they might have sensitive content — like nudity, sexual content, violence, gore, or hateful symbols."

After the shock wore off, I actually laughed out loud. Then just sat there and stared at the screen. It's completely absurd.
From what I can tell your instance choice only really matters when looking at the "local" timeline. Besides that its kind of like email, you can send and receive email from anyone that uses email if they know your address. I use the Gmail instance but I can still get and send email to Hotmail users.
To my understanding nobody was doing that anyway. Especially Mastodon.
Natural selection is a massive amount of computation. It's not like we got to skip that. Any learning that we do without computation is based on structures that were computed by evolution. One way or another the "learning" process is happening somewhere.
