Most people do not.

Not all options are available to everyone. If the local grocer stocks one brand of milk, that is what people buy. If I need medical assistance I'm not going to research which hospitals near me stock ethically sourced bandages before calling an ambulance.

No one has time to do detailed research on every company they buy things from. I have no idea how Speedway gas treats its employees. I don't even know if their gas is better or worse than competitors. I do know that they're on the route between work and home.

Most people don't have the resources to act on these decisions. Kroger is an awful company that treats its employees like trash, but that doesn't magically make everyone able to afford Whole Foods proces. This is assuming there are multiple stores in my market, or multiple stores equally accessible to transit users, etc.
> but even the "user-friendly" Ubuntu is a pain to work with. Something as simple as changing the mouse scroll speed requires creating a bash script. Software updates rarely work. There are random crashes that take hours to fix.

You either have hardware problems, or something screwed up your install; the settings manager for mouse acceleration is available where all other settings are, no scripts or command line editing necessary, just a couple clicks and you're done. Now I'm not exactly a fan of Ubuntu and prefer other distros but software updates do actually work on Ubuntu, and I'm not aware of any problems that could cause random crashes. At least on Debian I lost memory of the last time I had to reset the machine due to a crash. Check your system, it may have software and/or hardware problems elsewhere.

CI/CD, flags, canaries don't catch everything, and can still cause outages to others. We try and do pretty heavy CI/CD where I work, but not everyone does (we, like everyone, has old systems). It's actually quite easy for us to have the well behaved systems honor release hours or not depending how their release history has gone, or coverage,etc... but they're well behaved, so they usually have great tests, and they're not usually panicked about rolling out after hours, they have their sh*t together.

The reason we have core hours release only without director approval (aka director approval required outside core hours) is so you don't piss off another team by paging them after hours, and so you aren't trying to shove out a thing on a system that doesn't have good coverage or by turning off the safeties. In a large company I've noticed many engineers assume urgency even where there isn't. As an approver myself, most of the time someone wants to rush is because they've not even had the convo with their manager on if it's worth the risk, they are assuming urgency because that's when the sprint ends or what some TPM added to a jira ticket 4 months ago.

I admit that sounds risky itself (the engineers not having the right risk training) but this is why we have a policy and tooling... most of the times I've dug in they're just very new and worried about perception as a new employee, so my job is to shepherd them through having that convo with their managers which inevitably has the managers saying "yes it can totally wait till monday", and the change is inevitibly a bit more hot than it should be due to accidental deadline pressure.

> I still don't get why "first steps with Nix" has to include installing packages permanently.

Because if I don't know nix (which, you know, would be why I'd be reading introductory material) I'd be looking to use it, and my basis would be to do would be the way every other distro works.

And if I have to type `nix-shell -p python38` every time I want to run Python and `nix-shell -p vimMinimal` every time I want to edit a file, the experiment is not going to last long.

> So the website recommended you to read a page containing introductory examples. Not sure why you insist otherwise.

I'm not "insisting otherwise", I'm observing that it's confusing, utterly useless, and provides no real guidance towards improvement. And it's where the site told me to go as my second step into nix.

But apparently you're perfectly happy that this is what the "first steps with nix" should be (after having berated me for going there), so... proving the point I guess.

> What? The there are far more chapters in the Nix manual than just the three you mentioned.

Have you actually looked at them? ever?

1 is a quick overview of the entire thing, none of it actually helpful.

2 is a few basic commands expanded upon in (4)

3 is a lot of time spent on installation details

4 is where the meat starts, "You can upgrade package" is 4.1, "profiles are a thing" is 4.2, 4.3 is "nix will eat your disk space" (useless to a beginner), 4.4 is "channels" (even worse), 4.5 is "sharing packages between machines" which could not be less useful at this point./

5 is, as I said, "the nix language" covering the basics, with 5.4 mentioning derivations and going into plenty of details, none of them actually useful or telling a beginner why they should care

Following which we reach 6.1 "remote builds.

From a beginner's perspective, tits on a bull are at least funny, the nix manual doesn't even have that going for it.

Have a nice day, I'm done wasting time on you.
For me, ChatGPT has already replaced Google for most queries, so the point is moot.

Even if ChatGPT is flawed, it's still way better than Google. Using Google feels stupid; trying different search terms and clicking through dozens of websites with cookie popups and skimming all the bloated content for an answer which might be close to something you're looking for. ChatGPT gives the answer instantly.

I don't believe there's any future for Google (and Google-optimized websites).

I get that people really want to flex that they can deploy on Friday afternoon and NOTHING CAN GO WRONG, but it’s still foolish and flaunts Murphy’s Law. It can wait.
Over a long enough time, with enough deployments, unlikely things are guaranteed to happen! In the long run, setting a given feature loose on Monday instead of Friday is unlikely to move the needle in terms of business results, and eliminates a category of risk. I'm not superstitious about much, but No Friday Deployments is one of my rules
I would say 1m, rather than 10k, as the value rolls every 10 attempts, the true odds are slightly less than 1:1m, but only because every 9th attempt is 1:(1m-9) and 8th is 1:(1m-8), this is a minute difference.

Rate limits and account lockouts create accessibility and availability issues, I’m not aware of any real world case studies where they have been abused, my guess is demographics are important (a student is more likely to do it to a school rather than a random on the street doing it to a finance company). Though, if usernames are possible to enumerate, you should still consider the risk of someone doing it at scale as a dos.

What is / is not okay is probably largely defined by any security frameworks that you’re required to adhere to - in Australian Gov there is the Information security manual (google ISM ACSC). It states that password complexity goes up if you do not have MFA, and that without it credentials should be 14+ characters long.

Given your assertion that a breach would be possible, I would strongly suggest that your current methodology is dangerous. If you can enumerate usernames doubly so. Are you able to script a proof of concept brute force? Tools like hydra do this, but I prefer python3/requests.

I used to be the same way too but in warmer weather I would try not to run the A/C in my car. I think that kind of turned out to be a bad decision though because my car was older and by refusing to turn on the A/C, I think that might have made it more likely for the system to get messed up. I don't know the exact reasons, but maybe it has to do with the lack of pressure and the coolant not circulating.

I understand that, but would counter with that it sounds like deploy == release, and that if that weren't the case, you could deploy more often.

However, I will admit it is a trade-off; some engineering time does have to be spent to get there, and perhaps that engineering time is better used elsewhere right now.

Its a topic that comes up again and again. We are getting resistance against modern antibiotics. There are a ton of old antibiotics that have been out of use for decades that should be retested as possible weapons. Evolving resistance comes at a cost for bacteria and over time they might loose resistance against previous antibiotics.

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmicb.2014.0055...

The problem is no pharmaceutical wants to spend money on qualifying an out of patent antibiotic that can be copied by any generics manufacturer.

We need a joint governmental founding initiative across the eu and us and any other countries to fund qualification of old antibiotics as well as developing new ones.

Exactly. These arguments forget how Google is flawed for large swathes of queries due to websites since a long time ago having figured out the algorithm and now game it, while Google doesn't care enough or have the expertise to solve it.

We can't compare it to some sort of rose glasses view of Google of 2003, but need to compare it to the crappy stale twenty years older engine where you can really only hope the ten first results are OK or otherwise you're out of hope and need to try something else.

Sure, ChatGPT isn't perfect but it has a unique ability to answer me about queries that have not yet been asked or archived. That is a crazy advantage, to be able to assemble responses via a neural network.

> And administrators must comply with not only their local laws, but laws that exist anywhere their server is accessible.

This is bullshit and they have to know it's bullshit. Why? Because their servers are accessible in Thailand, but nobody pretends they have to abide the lèse-majesté laws Thailand enforces. Ditto the various laws in force in other countries Ars doesn't care about.

Plus, they don't look into why Twitter complies with the GDPR: Twitter has assets in Europe that the EU could seize. A local Mastodon instance operator doesn't, so they don't have to care. Vice-versa in the converse, of course: A small European Mastodon instance operator doesn't have to care about any laws in North or South America.

The article is disappointingly short, but at least for me, the title is true; at long last, 2022 was finally the Year of the Linux Desktop. May the YotLD meme live on in spirit.

I finally switched my desktop and laptops 100% to Linux. Some games don't run - fine - plenty of other games do. Ableton runs well in Wine, but Bitwig is native, and yabridge runs VSTs. MuseScore was saved. KDE is pleasant and productive. Blender is amazing. Pipewire is audio done right. Electron, despite its problems, makes Linux a build target of ordinary apps. Flatpak and AppImage enable simple cross-linux-distro app distribution. Critical mass achieved.

No desktop is perfect, but at least for people with a nominal, base level of experience, Linux is the least bad.

Looking to the future, I hope the Desktop Linux experience improves with respect to memory exhaustion, and I hope a Patreon-like platform gains prominence to enable easily donating to keep projects alive; it's currently cumbersome to find all the different places to donate.

With great gratitude to every free software and open source contributor, happy end of 2022!

>"onboarding isn't as much a priority"

I hear people talk extensively about how difficult it is to get acquainted with Mastodon and how their onboarding is a big part of that problem.

What exactly is the problem? What solution does that problem have?

It seems to me that the issue with federated instances is that the first thing you need to do when you join is to choose an instance which is a huge choice. Mastodon starts off by explaining how federates instances work and then gives you a list of popular ones to choose from. What else should they be doing to decrease the friction here? The documentation exists and I doubt making it mandatory would help. Is it possible to make onboarding easy when learning about the federated server model and choosing an instance is an inherently difficult task?

What specifically does everyone think Mastodon is doing wrong here? Is it possible for an ActivityPub/federate instance model to replace something as big as Twitter?
I like your vision and commitment, but when I read your comment I think “that’s 10 businesses that will want support and upgrades forever, who will call you in the middle of the night, who will expect the world of you because they depend on you”.

It’s a great model and I applaud it, but I would much rather have 1000 (preferably 5000!) consumers paying me $100/ea/year than have 10 businesses paying me $100k/ea/year.
If you put them in convenient places then ICE cars will also park there and not be connected.
There isn't a bottleneck in the amount of commits you can ship per day. You just get more changes to roll out on Monday.

I do disagree with the absolute statement of not doing it, but I definitely do a risk analysis whenever I ship a change on Friday and avoid anything risky and just push it off until Monday morning.

Not all changes can be put behind flags and canaries don't really fix the issue (unless you are okay in blocking important fixes from being rolled out due to your bad change killing the canary)
Caveat: I'm not a good Twitter user as I only really started using the platform a few months before Musk's acquisition. Most of the folks I follow on Twitter haven't left, but I've used Mastodon/Pleroma in the past and have experience with it.

What I think of when I hear about people wanting a Twitter alternative, is to join a global social network and just start messaging people. At its best, I can find a VR content creator I really like and a transit advocate I think is cool and ask them questions or send them content off-the-cuff. In a more community-oriented Mastodon world, VR content creators would be on a VR specific instance and transit folks on an urban planning instance. Nothing is stopping me from making an account on another instance and following/messaging them, but there's all sorts of friction that taints the experience. Is the VR content creator on instance A the same person I want to talk to, or are they on instance B? What if I join an instance C that's been blocked by instance A, but allowed by instance B? Do I trust the admin of instance C to not read my posts? Is membership on instance C even open right now?

Again, to those looking for community-oriented socializing, these are all features and not bugs. Why would I care about talking to VR content creators if I'm in a transit community? If the community doesn't want me (invites are disallowed), why would I even enter? But Twitter does present (among other things) the idea of having a "globally addressed social network", which Mastodon is not. Moreover there are many vibrant tools out there for community social networks, ActivityPub is one of many.
