I've was an inveterate distro hopper, but finally settled on Debian because of its stability. Its not the most user friendly but when you get it up and running "it just works". Debian really is fantastic achievement in software.
I also dislike it but please blame/advocate for Chrome change rather than devs with zero good options. Google created and maintains these conditions.
> The new systemd-resolved package will not be installed automatically on upgrades as it has been split into a separate package. If using the systemd-resolved system service, please install the new package manually after the upgrade, and note that until it has been installed, DNS resolution may no longer work as the service will not be present on the system.

will installing over the internet work without DNS resolution?
From my understanding (I suspect that not too many of them are on this forum, so you may not get an answer), the service position jobs aren't so low-paying, and many are actually good career positions.

Anecdotally, I have a couple of friends that basically have to be "professional shoppers," once or twice a year. It seems like a dream job, going to Europe, and buying the top-of-the-line clothes, from shops in every country, but it seems to actually be quite difficult for them.

In any case, they have been doing this for decades, and I have been told that they regularly see the same sales associates, cashiers, and managers, at these stores, year after year. They have actually made some long-term friendships, and look forward to meeting these people, who have families, kids in college, etc.

I assume that this means that many folks can actually make lifetime careers from work that, in the US, is often considered "transitional."

Nuclear is just horrible for filling in the gaps when renewables aren't available. Nuclear needs to run near continuously to even approach (if not reach) being economic. As a fill-in source, the cost will inflate massively, to the point that (for example) combined cycle plants burning green hydrogen would be far cheaper.
Every time the spot price goes to 0 or less we are throwing energy away. This is already happening. Every time we could be instead generating hydrogen, or desalinating water, whatever we are not doing right now. But with the ensuing enormouos rise in PV and wind this will get much much worse. Eventually something will use that energy. Why not generate supply for the time when sun is not shining? I don't really care if it's hydrogen, ammonia (easier to store) or pumped hydro (probably best, but not enough capacity possible) or something else.

Also not every country has access to sea and while here in EU the energy markets are interconnected, it's not perfect. And some countries have enough water, no need to desalinate.
What am I looking at? It says kbin at the top but it seems to be on lemmy.ml? I don't understand this fediverse stuff.
If you want to run a desktop system, I'd recommend Pop! OS. Right now, they seem to be the distro that cares the most about desktop experience.
So all A/B testing is unethical? Like figuring out if people navigate your desktop site better depending on whether it uses a menu bar or hamburger menu?

Why is a product change ethical if it's done not as part of an experiment, but it becomes unethical if it's part of an experiment? If the end user has the exact same experience in both cases?
That’s a bit of a cheat; I think it showed up first in Guards! Guards!. That was written in 1989, at which point in _reasonably_ sure Pratchett was already using usenet.
That and the simple fact that without it the hardware you've invested in won't work. So this is very much an individual choice, if you don't have such hardware you are fine but shouldn't be voting on whether or not someone who does have hardware that won't work without proprietary blobs has to go out to buy new gear. There are all kinds of considerations that go in to this decision (for instance: environmental impact) and I'm all for compromise when it helps out others.

At the same time, you have a good point, these decisions are difficult and need to be very carefully weighted. Debian and RedHat are the two distributions that everybody else always ends up following so a major departure from established policy there has potentially huge impact downstream.
You apparently haven't read my comment then. I already included your concern about birds being killed in and around human settlement. That says nothing about total populations since birds dont exclusively live in your garden. Conversely, cats DO live mostly in and around human settlements.
If you are looking for random animals that DO really trade with humans: Dolphins. Dolphins can fish with humans and share the bounty. They are not in a abusive/unequal relation (they can simply not take the trade) and they have enough capacity to communicate.

I couldn't find a link to the rules but if it's anything like other fediverse projects - Mastodon in particular - then I agree.

It's likely to be ruled by people with a 'toxic positivity' mindset who insist on everyone having the same set of political and cultural opinions as their own, with very little dissent permitted, under the threat of being individually kicked out, or having one's server defederated, or both.

There isn't a screenshot of this in Stephen's blog, but he does mention[1] the ability to evaluate a single 'ChatInput' multiple times, which preserves all previous evaluations and allows you to tab through them to pick the best one. (You can see a screenshot of what the arrow tab switcher looks like on the left side of this[2] example in the Chatbook README.md).

One of the nice advantages of a notebook interface to LLMs is that you can easily go back and edit and rearrange the chat history in the normal ways that any cell in a notebook can be edited, moved, deleted, etc.

So e.g. if you want to go back to an earlier point, you can simply move your cursor between cells at an earlier position in the "physical" chat history, insert a new chat cell, and you're done.

One thing I really appreciate about Debian is that when a new stable release comes around, I can just upgrade and be reasonably sure nothing bad will happen.

It's not exciting, but a fair amount of the time, this is what people expect from their operating system. Support my hardware, give me the software I need, and stay out of my way otherwise. And that is what Debian does very well.
I run a small service that provides info and every few weeks I got complaints from customers saying that the info is wrong because it doesn't match Google's.

The funny thing is that the problem is related to something else Google is doing, reducing the crawling budget.
Rhinoceros Party
"Operating within the tradition of political satire, the Rhinoceros Party's basic credo, their so-called primal promise, was "a promise to keep none of our promises".[9] They then promised outlandishly impossible schemes designed to amuse and entertain the voting public.[10]"

I wonder if it's possible for Reddit 3rd party app devs (Apollo, etc) to rework their existing apps to use Kbin or Lemmy instead. Could be a huge undertaking. But it would be an even bigger blow to Reddit, since they can easily funnel users away.
Kind of a tangent but Voat used to be a direct clone, though it seemed to attract more of a certain negative tone among its users that seemed to characterize the site. Culture of a site is as significant as the tech in terms of persuading/dissuading users from participating, particularly early on imo.

Reddit has its own particular, identifiable cultural aspects (some positive, some negative) though it's also large enough that it's managed to escape being pinned down to only its more negative aspects. Twitter maybe not as much among some crowds though it's still a very broad userbase.

Admin, mods and finally users set the tone of a site and lead by example. On HN for example the more one has read over time what the tone of the place is and the type of content and moderation, the likelier it will continue, almost Ship of Theseus style with regard to users.

While if this place for example were more accepting of crass comments and submissions then the culture would adapt and invite more of the same. Some might like or prefer that but it also has its downsides, particularly for users who like aspects of a site/sub-community but find other aspects more difficult to be an apologist toward.

Idk where I'm going with this apart from I wouldn't want to be in someone's shoes trying to broadly handle maintaining a decent culture that isn't weighed down/characterized only by its more negative aspects :p

Tankie is a pejorative label for communists, particularly Stalinists, who support the authoritarian tendencies of Marxism–Leninism or, more generally, authoritarian states associated with Marxism–Leninism in history. The term was originally used by dissident Marxist–Leninists to describe members of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) who followed the party line of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). WTF?

Since I disabled auto-update most of such issues have gone away and what works stays working. I suspect the second was due to an auto-update if you had that enabled and don't get me started on python versioning and the way that can impact a system.
I've gotten rid of a lot of stuff I've accumulated over the years--including most computer-related hardware and software I don't use. One thing I find hard is that you know you have stuff that someone would be delighted to get for cheap/free. But it really isn't worth my time to try to make that connection. And a lot of it is niche enough that I doubt I'd find takers at a yard sale out in the country.
Interestingly, I remember when I was young (6-7 year old) it was not common but happened quite a few times that when we go to the beach some woman will go breast nude. It'll be unthinkable for that to happen today without it making it big in social media and the government getting involved. The country in question is Tunisia.

> when even a purist distribution like Debian is forced to concede in the fight against proprietary blobs.

As far as I'm aware, nothing has recently changed in this regard. It's more of a reflection on the mentality of young members, those who tend to treat software as if it's in a vacuum, separate from all the social and moral concerns of the meatspace.

I quite liked working in M (fka MUMPS) when I had the chance to.

It's terse. Language commands can be abbreviated to one letter, and the syntax is whitespace-aware, so you can fit a lot of code on one computer screen, take it in, and review it.

If you're curious, I wrote a tutorial for it at https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/m/
I've seen so many javascript libraries go down this path.

The one I always go back to as the #1 example of this is RiotJS. The very first release of that was like a breath of fresh air - it was the new, simple, no-nonsense way to build SPAs, etc. You can see it plain as day in their migration guide.

Old:

<my-component>
<p class={ active: isActive, disabled: isDisabled }>hello</p>
</my-component>

New:

function classNames(classes) {
return Object.entries(classes).reduce((acc, item) => {
const [key, value] = item
if (value) return [...acc, key]
return acc
}, []).join(' ')
}

// install the classNames plugin
riot.install(function(component) {
// add the classNames helper to all the riot components
component.classNames = classNames
return component
})

<my-component>
<p class={
classNames({
active: isActive,
disabled: isDisabled
})
}>hello</p>
</my-component>

This stuff is absolutely insane to me.
You shouldn't be, 13 year olds have complex reasoning and the physical capability. 14 year olds used to be expected to fight wars.
Caring is huge, but also hard to teach.

Self teaching.

Simple math (arithmetic, boolean algebra, strings, composite data types, bitwise operators, order of operations, infinite expression nesting, and of course functions).

Complexity avoidance.

Written communication.

Subconscious thinking (ie. solving problems on autopilot while doing something away from the computer).

Or, instead of using Link from whatever routing library they are using, they happen to use Button, or whatever. It can be a really simple issue as well as some underlying reason.

But as a first response, I think it'll chalk it up to "ops, we missed that" rather than "we like links that don't work like links", especially if the issue hasn't been reported yet.

Finally. I migrated from the snap-cursed Ubuntu to Debian. I have been running Bookworm since last summer, and now I can stay in the stable distribution until I really need a new version of some software. Should not happen too soon.
It’s not a big deal if you have a distribution that helps, but then again I run Gentoo.
> They simple stay in a hive they have found

> they will survive on sugar water

This is not how beekeeping usually works.

1) Honeybees are typically divided into hives and do not choose.
2) You cannot sustain an overexploited hive on sugar water — they will starve. It may help in a situation where nectar flow is lacking though.

If the weather isn't too harsh and there's enough water and fruit or plants around then it's actually less hard to survive than you might think (the tricky bit is knowing what is edible, but you've got about 2 weeks to experiment).

In the right conditions it's easier to survive than many assume. To be honest with statements like "their survival is a sign of a knowledge and relationship with the natural environment of life, which is learned from the mother’s womb and practiced from a very early age" I think there's a lot of "native fetishism" and woo-woo thinking going on here. In this case the kids apparently also ate food drops, and were malnourished when found.

I don't want to come of as too cynical or dismissive, because of course it's an amazing story! The real miracle is that they survived the plane crash at all, and the survival is more "amazing story" than "amazing miracle".

That sounds wildly inefficient.
I disagree. I'm very disappointed that this "necessity" came into existence in the first place.

By being forced to install non-free BLOBs to be able to use "our" devices we actually admit that we're not the ones who actually control "our" computers. That's admitting full defeat! You're not the owner of "your" devices.

Given that computers are now kind of "brain extensions" this means you're not in control of a substantial part of yourself.

This has quite some implications! And I'm not even thinking about such things like future computer devices connected directly to human brains…
I separate “important” data from “cache” data - the second being things like Linux ISOs and personal DVD rips that I could recover if needed.

This reduces my backup set from tens of terabytes to less than one terabyte. And makes it easier to keep many more copies of the very special things (photographs, documents) on multiple devices and cloud services.

> Your chair is still on order

A company I worked for was hiring up for a new initiative. A new hire got the job and was on vacation when he got the offer. They demanded he start immediately and leave his vacation a week early. He obliges and starts the next week cancelling the second half of his vacation. He arrives and there is no where for him to sit and they hadn't even bothered ordering his equipment.
The funds are based on a percentage of employee withholdings (income tax) - if there are no employees, there are no funds to Apple:

"It is
a performance-based economic development incentive program that provides annual grant
disbursements for a period of up to 12 years, to new and expanding businesses based on a
percentage of withholding taxes paid by new employees during each calendar year of a grant. This
percentage ranges from 10% to 75% (80% for awards after October 1, 2015 in Tier 1 counties). "

You can find the specifics for the Job Development Investment Grant program annual report for 2021 - this is the one that has the Apple program details:
https://www.johnlocke.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/2021-JD...

As far as I can tell, they are just proposing that most (75%) of the income taxes the new Apple employees would have paid to the state will instead go to Apple. If they never have any employees, Apple gets 75% of zero.

<edit for additional info>It appears that the Apple incentive is "transformative" a classification that means the amount can raise from 75% to 100% if Apple meets the hiring targets . . .
In theory shouldn't there be able to be both? Some apps should be able to optimize for large-scale usage while others optimize for ease of installation and maintenance in your spare time, but all should theoretically (barring the inevitable drama) be able to federate with all the others.

I do wonder what the funding model is supposed to be for the large servers. Tiny servers can be funded out of pocket, but large platforms can't, and the resource requirements of fediverse apps seem to be much higher per-user than those of a centralized platform.

(I'm not sure if the resource requirements are inevitable or just a sign of an immature app.)
