It's wrong to let people go hungry.

Privatized, for-profit food will result in hungry people. This is not at all new. There will also be stories about welfare moms stealing candy bars to distract from the real issue because once people are angry about anything they stop being reasonable, take sides, and dig their heels in.

Privatized, for-profit food will also result in price gouging for the less affluent. This is also not new. The current price bumps are being felt by the middle class, though, and that's a potential danger to the price-raisers. People often see it as ethical to beat up the bully (thus our entirely punitive prison system); parallel to that, they see it as ethical to steal from the thief.

There's actually a lot of software projects, Mastodon is just by far the most popular one.

From top of my head, there are more extensive lists out there: Pixelfed (Instagram alternative), Peertube (YouTube alternative), Pleroma (another Twitter-like microblog), Bookwyrm (Goodreads alternative), Funkwhale (like a mashup between Soundcloud and a podcast host), Owncast (Twitch alternative), Mobilizon (event organizing), lemmy (reddit alternative)...

They're all rather tiny and unpolished, having even less resources to work with than Mastodon, but you should be able to follow a user on any of them from Mastodon. At least in theory, haven't tried with all of them.

The annoying thing in my opinion is that you can't have a set-in-stone identity and then use different frontends for different purposes, kind of like you can on Facebook for groups/events/marketplace/stories. You have to have an account on all of them to make use of all features, even though they're all relying on the same protocol to a certain extent.

You can run GIMP in either single window or multiple windows mode, there is a setting in the "Windows" menu that switched between the two. The multiple windows mode is the default and IMO works better if you are using a window maanager with a virtual desktop dedicated to it (or graphics apps in general). In my Window Maker-based setup i have a virtual desktop for graphics apps and i have it configured to always place GIMP windows in that virtual desktop. The main thing i'd like is being able to preserve the tear-off menus across launches (GIMP remembers the various window locations but always closes any persistent menu windows).
Years ago I remember reading how it was OK to kill animals in the making of films in the US, but not in Europe.

Apple is worse, they will randomly lock you out of devices you own even though you have the password and demand you verify on a different one. I had relatives who only had one apple device, what a nightmare fixing that was.

It's the big tech equivalent of stop and frisk.
Not really. You can get around this with:

Shift + F10 > taskmgr > Network Connection flow > End task
One thing I fail to understand is the extraordinary difference of time span between such tests, in the US vs France (for example). In the former I got a "come back in 10 years", in France I'm being advised to have it every two.
> I'm defending the right to own property, which is something really fundamental to the way we organize our society.

No one is trying to "steal" twitter in this thread, we are saying he used his "property rights" to unnecessarily hurt others.

You're the one who is saying this is just peachy keen and "that's on you".

You're defending the harm.
I think that you make an interesting point. Having recently become interested in vintage computers I have been spending time with the forums at vcfed.org .

To be honest unplugging from the political outrage machine helped my mental state...and I might in time make some friends on that site...
I honestly always thought it was some sort of GLaDOS/Hal 9000 style joke. "don't worry Dave, we're still watching all your files" or something, I actually laughed out loud when I saw it. It's even more hilarious to me if that was supposed to be serious.
You missed the sentence right before the one about charging their mother rent:

> I avoid giving money directly unless as cash because they prefer it that way

Lots of people want to pay their own way, but old people often have a warped sense of how much things should cost (see the "I worked a part time job to pay for college" thing). So letting their mother think she's mostly paying for her own apartment is itself a kindness.
Interesting, thanks for sharing.

The purpose was to do the following in the most succinct way possible: help the reader quickly make sense of a bizarre trend, show how businesses are meeting demand, and how others could also.

I think the presentation probably came across as (overly) opportunistic.

Here’s the thing though, people are eager to buy meme merch (this isn’t a bad thing). Businesses also want to make money but are probably worried that demand will dry out once this trend ends. I’m saying that if this meme ends up lasting like doge did, then that’s not an issue.
Something I never understood - Why didn't Stadia push slow games harder? Games like Civ VI or Simulator games would've more or less hidden the input lag. Instead they seemed to be pushing fast-twitch games in their marketing.
Yes, this happened to me when I was forced to reinstall Windows due to a stubborn booting issue. I've been growing uncomfortable with the idea of having an adversarial relationship with such an essential piece of software as an OS for a while already and this prompted me to try out Linux as my daily driver. Been pretty satisfied with the results and Linux is where I do most of my computing these days.
This situation is heart breaking for us who have a lot of attachment to this API. I built a research thesis around data mining the firehose, and that work got me my first data mining job. I made hundreds of valuable connections. However, the API really died years ago when requirements of ad-based revenue meant neutering many endpoints. It's been on life support since. Recent events really were about pulling the plug.

But Mastodon excites me the way I used to be excited about social. There's possibility again to turn it into the things we gave up on a decade ago. I look forward to a new wave of innovation here.

And yes, I refuse to say the name of the company or the owner at this point. I agree with the author. It isn't deserved.
Ish. See ADS-B (https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/technology/adsb) and TCAS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_collision_avoidance_sy...). It's mostly helpful in the air, not on the ground.
Exactly my feelings, altough it would be with Windows 2000 and XP since I wasn't born before. The file explorer, dolphin, is a good example of that, and a pleasure to use.
I'd have to look at the "fan dissassemblies" floating around--you are 100% right and I think Combat did this.
I just thought the inherent tradeoffs between "do tractor stuff" and "be nice on the road" were obvious enough.

These vehicles top out at about 55 after 1/4mi of flat road with your foot on the floor. This kind of performance is fine for a convoy but is a really un-fun time in modern traffic.

The torsional flexing that makes them want to keep tires planted for working on less than even terrain makes them handle like poo even compared to other vehicles on similar sized tires.

These things make humvees look good, not fast, but good.

> The Taliban, Al Qaeda, and similar terrorist groups were not signatories to the Geneva Convention on Prisoners of War and their fighters did not wear uniforms, therefore they have no legal rights beyond what the US government chooses to grant.

Incorrect – this issue was specifically litigated; they are entitled under international law, because the war is war where one of the belligerents is not a state, occurring in the territory of a party to the Conventions, to the protections of Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions of 1949, which applies to “conflicts not of an international character”.

I'm currently using the read-only Alpine install for my Raspberry Pi based wireless AP.

Quite functional so far.
Not sure I agree with "deeply flawed" verdict.

The flaws of python's packaging system (as well as the GIL and other hangups) emerge from the tradeoffs of inventing a language optimised for reusing and connecting as many disparate system binaries as possible.

Its not surprising that such a server scripting language is tightly coupled with the server environment that it runs in. Docker is just one way to ensure a reproducible server environment across machines.

What do you think it could have done differently?
> The interesting question is, will future technologies push us back to an animist perspective? A future full of unexplainable and incomprehensible AIs seems almost naturally animist to me.

I call it "the Daemon-Haunted World" after Sagan's book:

> "The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark" is a 1995 book by the astrophysicist Carl Sagan and co-authored by Ann Druyan,[1] in which the authors aim to explain the scientific method to laypeople and to encourage people to learn critical and skeptical thinking. They explain methods to help distinguish between ideas that are considered valid science and those that can be considered pseudoscience. Sagan states that when new ideas are offered for consideration, they should be tested by means of skeptical thinking and should stand up to rigorous questioning.

Just as we are about to defeat superstition once and for all, we populate the world with new "spirits" called "Siri", "Alexa", and "Cortana".
I've seen it said that in any ongoing work on a large and complex software product, about 20% of the time is spent on upkeep just to keep the system from degrading further. Probably your team was already spending a portion of their time shoring up the worst parts. That's typical, and why the build up of problems slows down feature work.

I always plan on spending some percent of my time on work I know I'll have to do before I can start adding the new features. Regardless of how I'm asked to estimate, I keep in mind the cleanup work in accounting for the total effort.

Unfortunately there are still a lot of PMs and folks, including some programmers, who aren't aware of or don't understand the need for structural maintenance. Those are the teams I regularly see start out going very fast but within a few months get bogged down in having to work in the awful system they built.
Every now and then I see a picture of a UI circa 2000, and I mostly miss that era. Controls were organized. Everything clickable looked clickable. There were clear conventions. Controls did not obscure content.

Sure, it wasn’t pretty the way modern UIs are pretty, but users don’t need pretty.
Expensive, but the FAQ says it supports ECC:

Nah, you are defending something that is based on the right to own property (and do whatever you like with it), but may nevertheless be shitty behavior. Just because something is legal and the legal basis is important (in your opinion), doesn't necessarily mean it is ok behavior.

E.g., being rude isn't forbidden, the freedom of speech is important, so is the right to express your personality. But lecturing the affected person about these rights may not be the best reaction when they have been insulted by someone.

I think the main point to discuss is not the rights, but whether the owner of a company should act more responsible, even if he is within his rights. And that's also the point of the OP.
I've been using the same username for 30+ years. It was the default username on the very first shell service I signed up for.

Occasionally I get to a service where someone already has it (either my cousin or someone in Sweden). Then I just add 12 to it, because the first time it happened (on AOL) I had to get to 12 before it was unique.

Very occasionally that's taken too, so then I have to get creative, like realjedberg or something like that.

But at this point it's become sort of a brand for me.

And no, I've never had another throwaway login or anything like that. I had a few tester accounts on reddit but never used them for anything other than testing.
You misread my statement. Life has no inherent meaning. It is inherently meaningless. Therefore you make your own meaning to give it one. Simple as that. You can, of course, let someone else make a meaning for you, and choose that instead, but it's not something integral to life itself. Just your life.

That's not the same as life having no meaning, just not an inherent one. A fireplace is not inherently burning, but if you stack a bunch of logs in there and light it, it will burn all the same. The meaning of life is just the same. The physical reality of it is at it is, but what you do with it is up to you. You can follow the path laid out before you, like lighting the fireplace, but nothing's stopping you from grabbing a knife and running off to the woods to run with the wolves if that's what you'd rather do. Nothing but yourself, anyway.
My point was not that those effects from 20 years ago are unavailable, it's that I have not seen current similarly experimental projects that expand what we think of as a desktop.

There is nothing (that I know of) that feels as groundbreaking for 2022 as compiz was for 2006

> complaining about Twitter only after new management is admitting that the primary quality you don't like is the new management.

This rings very true. The move to Mastodon isn’t likely to translate into “…but why do we need speech owners at all”. Unaccountable and unjustified concentrated power is simply not a concern to most. Once the dust settles, business as usual will kick in. It’ll either be a feudal lordship of mastodon instances, or a brand new dickhead in a leather jacket.
Who cares about fashion? If something looks good, it looks good, even if it's not fashionable. It's like saying the style of a nice Gothic cathedral has fallen out of fashion, it still looks better than a concrete and glass box.
Stupid question but can't they use a system of traffic lights before crossing a runway?

Twitter alternatives can’t succeed due to existing network effects.

The only way to take on an existing social network paradigm is to add a feature to a separate already popular social network. E.g. instagram reels, youtube shorts vs TikTok.

Eventually would be better if ownership of data was separated from ownership of the client. Then landscape becomes much more competitive. Low barrier to entry to create competing implementations. The law will eventually recognize this imo
Yep, it makes no sense - fueling, empowering someone's private property,even voluntarily helping to sidestep/skip platform shortcomings to make it dominant player instead of promoting open standards and solutions and then surprise, "Pikachu face"

I'm perceiving Asahi Linux initiative in similar way and it's astonishing to see people putting countless man-hours for free into improving device produced by one of richest companies in the world which is known for having full controll on sofware and hardware intentionally and steadily making it as locked as possible, hostile to OS
What could go wrong here..
> Did they even have a fair trial?

Some had some kind of process (fairness is, at best, dubious in most cases), but even some of those who were never charged under any system, and have been cleared for transfer or release, remain detained to this day.
Why would they do that?. The swamp part of the GOP and the swamp part of the DNC are within a hairs breath of being the same establishment. They just market different things to different customers. They're like a megacorp selling all natural bullshit under one brand and rot your organs energy drinks under another brand. The Bernies and the AOCs and the MTGs and other "out there" politicians they let make noise are just market research so the swamp people know what positions they may need to adopt in the future to keep their products marketable to the masses.
Things have changed with newer OS versions. What iOS version was backed up with? What OS was the computer running? iTunes or Finder backup?

That's still about 4 times as much command as I'd consider normal/reasonable, compared to say "mvn install".
I didn’t have a big problem with standard bugs but rather constant regressions. Two releases ago Ubuntu Mate had redshift broken, last one broke the GUI theme. Useless work to get it back to normal.

Combined with gtk3 regressions and Ubuntu snap bullshit I’d had enough after ten years.

Moved to mint cinnamon and noticed many little things fixed even the terminal updated, and stayed.
To be fair, even the janky old version of San Andreas is better than the remaster. That abomination should never have seen the light of day.

Windows 11 latest installer doesn't even present the option to use a local account. However, the mechanism to bypass this is to enter in a fake Microsoft Login ID and then wait for it to fail, then select something like "Other Options" at the dialog that comes up and then there's an option to use a local account.

I think you can also install without internet and you'll get the local account option too, but I have not tried it yet.

Super annoying. I ran into this last week while reinstalling Windows on a dead NVMe drive.
> Most of the modern OS developments focus on making things easy and safe. That usually boils down on removing features and locking down things.

Fair enough, but innovation should not necessarily be more complex. See pinch-to-zoom in the first iPhone as an example of a groundbreaking addition that makes things simpler.
Have a read of the Alfred website and your questions will be answered.
This is just snark, right? Full tables aren't even close to the largest databases handled casually by Windows servers.

Part of the problem is that actually... you don't want more people weighing in on the same priorities. If you hire someone either they should do something new, in which case they shouldn't really be weighing in on something existing as much as possible (certainly not have decision making power) or they should accelerate something existing, in which case they aren't a new stakeholder. If a team depends on your team that's 1 stakeholder. if that's 50 people, fine, but it's still 1 stakeholder. If 50 of them turn up to your "meeting with stakeholders" ask them which 1 is going to represent them. If 1 of them can't represent the other 50, ask them to leave and come back when they have a functioning structure, or fire 49 of htem, whichever is easiest.
I would argue it's safer to stay behind a truck than to try to get in front of it... Between the blind spot in front of the bumper, and the stopping distance of a heavy truck, you're probably more likely to get rear-ended than driving into the back of the truck.
I can't say I know much about ships or naval life, but those berths look so small and uncomfortable with a lot of places for your arms to get caught or places to bump your funnybone off of. And those lockers look so skinny! Do you just hang one hanger in there with one pair of clothes on it?
I feel for this guy. He worked on a product for 16 years. A lot goes into that and it becomes part of your identity. Then right at a time close to the loss of his mother it gets shutdown, with no warning. I'd be devastated.

That said Elon is not doing this to anyone. He is not attacking anyone. He simply made a business decision. This happens all the time. Companies let suppliers go for financial reasons, they let staff go for similar reasons. People invest their lives into helping these businesses only to find they were let go for a few dollars. It sucks and it's can be super painful. Businesses mostly exist to make money and people should avoid investing their identity and loyalty into businesses as they probably won't reciprocate.

I'm hesitant to involve lawyers at all, since I don't want to get off on the wrong foot with Amazon. I view them as a potential licensee (we license to one of their smaller competitors already), and I'm sure their attitude toward us would take a turn for the worse if they heard about us via a lawyer/implied legal threat.

Or perhaps I'm misunderstanding the suggestion?
If you're referring to Twitter closing their API again, this tone is a bit hysterical.
This is an incredible write-up. Kudos to the journalist who wrote this piece. I wish more current events were chronicled this way.

An incidental data point - I run a number of Twitter bots (nice bots that are helpful), and those are still working.

So the API hasn’t been fully turned off. At least, not for all API users.
