IANAL but that’s because most members of a class action have too weak a claim to litigate. Anyone with a strong claim and the money to fight it (or a lawyer on contingency) can opt out of the settlement and fight it on their own.

It’s a lot different when it’s employment violations. The case for each employee is stronger, many more lawyers would be willing to take the case on contingency, and there’s not much room to massage the damages below what the employees are already owed
HAHA this was one of my panel interview questions at Goooog'

An elegant way to do it would seem to be to require the court to consider both directions of possible trademark infringement.

If it was even remotely possible the court would rule "yes, we agree with the plaintiff's arguments that these are similar trademarks, and there is the possibility for consumer confusion, therefore we must check whose trademark has priority... turns out it's the grocers who have used the symbol for 111 years and Apple Computer owe a few billion in back licensing fees" then the lawyers would be terrified of filing the suit.
Apple did a clever thing with HDR content where it can appear amongst other non-HDR content, and only the part of the screen displaying the HDR content is in HDR. But in practice it looks really bad and I hate every time I'm scrolling Instagram and an HDR video appears in my feed. It blows my eyes out and then the rest of my screen looks gray and muted for a few seconds until I get the HDR content off my screen.
You certainly can, it happens all the time and is a regular occurrence.

Instruction set supported masking makes it easier to do per lane control flow, like "if else", familiar from the shader programming model (and Intel's ISPC) where you write a function that operates on one datum, and it gets compiled into code where individual SIMD lanes may by masked depending on which side of a data dependent branch they are executing.

I think this is such an interesting comment. If you read my comment I didn't ask for a demo. I asked for a screenshot.

I'm posting this pretty late, so doubt many will read this, but I just want to make a point that the attitude of "I don't need a screenshot, there is a demo 3 clicks away behind a username and password that is murky to find the details" is a terrible message to send.

When you don't bother to put a screenshot of an app as large and as beautiful as jellyfish, for me, it screams, "this is NOT going to beworth your while to install. If you have the knowledge, fine, otherwise, there's a great barrier to entry here. Just to see it, it's 3 clicks and some keystrokes away, imagine what installing and running is like."

The screenshot on the other hand would say to the user, "here is this beautiful app. Now decide if it's worth it to check out the demo and maybe read a few of the docs."

The people who use Reddit as a knowledge base are not the users that add to the community. When you’re a Reddit moderator, or any type of online-community leader, you care about the people who participate, not the people who lurk and do nothing.

Discord lets members of your community search for messages. It lets you pin important messages to be easily referenced later. It lets you create a link to the message, and send it to others later on, so they can re-read prior information.

Their concern is not “Someone off the Internet can’t find this off of Google, read it, and then close the tab, never to return again.” They simply do not care.

Your post is assuming that moderators are looking for an alternative to Reddit that benefits the lurkers, when, in reality, they are looking for an alternative to Reddit that benefits their community. Discord solves the latter.
I don't think I am making that case.
it’s a different situation though: very few people have shipped guis in Rust, so the Rust projects are largely greenfield, while a lot of JavaScript front ends are legacy apps.

“Reducing headcount by 85%” is a glib way to describe what happened. There’s a reason that over 1 in every 4 of those former employees is filing an arbitration claim!

I see that differently. Mathemticians often come into a field that's complex and filled with fudge factors and layers of engineering and make it clear and simple. See the history of electrical engineering in the 20th century.
Those proceedings are expensive, and I can’t imagine Apple expects to win. I suspect it’s one of those proceedings that they feel compelled to run because they expect to lose the value of their trademark if they don’t.

To me, it sounds like airlines flying empty because they wanted to keep their airport slot: give them a guarantee that they’ll keep their spot and they’ll be happy not to waste fuel and pilot hours on an empty flight.

Maybe.

More likely, the already dangerous level of distrust in our (US, anyway) society for pretty much everything will just deepen and become more entrenched.

I don't think there was anything similar to PHP that wasn't proprietary (Cold Fusion etc.), and FB engineering culture was to avoid vendor lock-in.

In any case, in the 2000s a PHP programmer/designer was analogous to a JavaScript developer today. Lots of talent out there, and it only took a few weeks of orientation and familiarizing for new hires to be productive.
I would limit advertising restrictions to (1) paid (2) indirect (3) commercial speech: any speech where you explicitly compensate a 3rd party to either include (alongside their own speech) or produce (i.e. to launder as their own speech—see homemade NordVPN adverts in YouTube videos, and essentially all "influencers" on IG) in order to affect commercial activity.

As a first party, you could of course be paid to produce any speech you want by the recipients of that speech (e.g. people can buy a book you write yourself, join your YouTube channel, etc.). You can also promote your own commercial activity (e.g. "buy my t-shirts" is allowed because it is direct).

Practically speaking, this would mean that, e.g. Procter and Gamble could promote Tide on their own website, but they couldn't pay anyone else to promote it. An individual could make a video about how much they love Tide, but PG couldn't pay them to make that video (or give them free product, discounts, etc. to induce them to make that video).

Businesses wouldn't be able to pay people to review products, or leave reviews on Amazon, etc.

Things PG could do: go around the country giving free laundry courses where they show people how to use Tide in the best way, while simultaneously extolling the virtues of using Tide vs. its competitors (buy they would not be able to advertise these events, of course, instead relying on word of mouth and their own website).

IMO, limiting advertising (as defined above) would dramatically improve the signal-to-noice ratio of the speech in the world, without limiting anyone's fundamental rights. If anything, it's normalizes the reach of everyone which enhances the positive benefits of free speech.
All of these rust libraries and frameworks are in their infancy and there are no clear winners yet. Its probably less of a sign of a healthy ecosystem, and more of a sign of an immature ecosystem. There are a few projects that seem promising, but all of that could be invalidated by next week.

Meanwhile in the js ecosystem things are both incredibly stable and also in flux. All of the usual suspects are still around, but competing in ways intergrate both server and client rendering as seamlessly as possible. There is also some movement around introducing optimising compilers - see solid and svelte.

But its probably safe to say, ignoring the tooling churn going on with Rust, Go, and Zig seemingly systematically replacing all js tooling like for like, things are pretty stable when it comes to js ui libraries.
I have seen internet discussions that match what you describe. But I see a lot more that are just jokes and silliness. So no, it is not an overall phenomenon going on, it is just one type of conversation among many.

Likewise on the increased clinical info in discussions. It does happen, and is often good but sometimes inaccurate. Either way, it is a subset of conversations - just as many people still just write off mental health struggles as people being assholes. I think having more awareness that a person may be struggling is a good thing. Even if the armchair diagnoses are wrong, seeing past the surface level and trying to understand someone's negative behavior often build better understanding between each other.

As far as everyone having to have an opinion on everything, that is the one point you made that I have not seen in the slightest. Most people I know have disconnected from the constant news/info stream and have no such expectations of each other.

So at the end of the day, yeah you may be yelling at clouds. There is a massive diversity of dialogue and while your points are valid for some of it, you may only be viewing your own silo. But even if it were more widespread... I'm not sure that being more knowledgeable and more communicative will lead to bad things. On the contrary, shallow dismissals, poor communication, and lack of critical thought is exactly how misinformation campaigns work. So if you are seeing higher expectations of people in online dialogue... sounds like a good thing to me.
Yup, exactly the same impression for me.

To me it doesn't make HDR content look better, but it makes the non HDR content around it just look worse.
This is exactly my take. If I were sitting on a technology that I thought was too dangerous to release, the very last thing I'd do is tell anyone about it.

This is just a transparent, and slightly pathetic, PR move.

Today, nothing speaks against that. But if this proliferates, I'm predicting white lists to become more common on "sensitive" instances like Beehaw.

It's just like Email today. Sure you can run your own Email server. But expect to sometimes end up in the spam folder of users with Gmail accounts. You can thank the spammers for that, and the trolls if that ever becomes common on Lemmy.
Re: Discord I've felt exactly the same but was never able to articulate quite this well. When I remember to open the app and after the initial shock of seeing literally thousands of notifications across several dozen channels, it feels like I can only meaningfully interact with whatever conversations happen to be going on at that particular time.
This article is some white nationalist BS. I read it because I’m interested in South Africa’s past, present and future, without knowing anything about the publication or author.

In case you don’t make it to the end (and it’s really not worth your time), it essentially makes the point of “Apartheid wasn’t all that bad, and South Africa would be better off if it was still a segregated society with separate areas ruled by whites and blacks.”

No, really.

Then it delves into trying to make an equivalency between the fact that the United States has laws which limit immigration and apartheid. Aka, “We’re no better than white South Africans because we don’t let everyone who wants to come into this country.”

It then leans heavily into the white-nationalist Great Replacement Theory conspiracy, and tries to paint Black Lives Matter as an attempt not at, you know, getting police to kill fewer black people, but to somehow discredit the political perspective and power of all white Americans.

The _Claremont Review of Books_ looks and sounds like a respectable publication, but it’s clearly not. And no-one should take them or this author seriously.

This seems like an attempt to give an air of credibility to a deeply racist and inauthentic worldview that we’d all be better off leaving in the past with Apartheid and the klan.

The 'replacement' of Reddit may not look in appearance much like Reddit at all. Communities can center around anything. Just the other day I found a 'proudly anti-fascist' linux distribution with a community of ideologically-aligned friends all having a community around a linux distribution. Others I know have found deep friendships after initially meeting over music groups and going to concerts together. Rather than one mega-forum with many smaller forums, you may find interest-based communities all over the place!
Here's just one issue:

They stem words aggressively, so searching for "repeater", which is a less common, specific term, gives you results including "repeat", a commonly used word.
And there's no way to do an exact word search.
The sentence with company name was added later, I still have the browser tab open when it was submitted to HN. It used to say "Multi day trips to the wreck cost tens of thousands of dollars and one dive to Titanic." Now it mentions the company and more accurate pricing.
My employer basically never contacts me on a personal email address or my phone line. In fact, I've had rough patches where I couldn't bring myself to clock in for over a week, and I sort of hope and pray that my supervisor will reach out in concern for my well-being, but they don't.

I used to watch Work Slack 24/7 because I was gigging and I needed to respond to gig offers immediately. I don't do that anymore, and my work comms are completely isolated from my personal comms. If I'm not logged into my work account, I won't see anything work-related. It's paradise. Working is 100% discretionary for me, but I'm highly motivated to put in the hours each week. 90% of our communications are over Slack channels. Corporate and HR sends emails to let us know stuff, but of course that email goes only to my work email box, which I can't even read if I'm not logged into my work account.
This reminds me of the plain text bujo I kept for about 1–2 years a few years back, only much prettier. Mine was a single long file that I appended to each day. Like in the post, I used pretty standard Unixy tools. I could search, aggregate, and bulk update. The rest was based on conventions and discipline. And migrating to new conventions was doable with a throwaway script. All in all, it was a liberating experience.

Where it fell apart, and where I expect this approach might fall apart also:

- While it worked really well on desktop, I didn't find a way to make it translate to mobile. Sure, I could just edit the plain text file, but that's not enough when you have hundreds of todos scattered around.

- I had to remember too much about how all the different scripts worked together. I kept forgetting the commands I'd defined, especially when I was tired or stressed.

My middleroad these days is NotePlan. It gives me what I liked about bullet journaling (for me it's the 'rapid logging' part) but presents it in a sleepless night-proof UI that works well on iOS at the same time.
> As a social conservative, I disagree with this. Opportunity and will to make use of opportunity are two separate things and usually originate separately. But this will is NOT innate.

I'd go further and say that the reason any aristocracy has ever survived for more than a generation is because at the core of all its elaborate culture is a machine built to aggressively indoctrinate its next generation to be extremely moderate and conscious of its use of privileges.

There is a progressive ideological strain that banks its legitimacy on the belief that poverty can be one day eliminated, while traditional varieties of aristocrats believe that concentrated privileged is an inherent part of nature that needs to be managed. A "pure" progressive ideology would rise or fall with its apparent success -- it's also possible to imagine also an impure progressive ideology is a barbershop pole of which the real aristocrats are the ones working to maintain the illusion, stringing everyone else along.

That's how I see it anyway, not that I know what's really going on.
Well, I couldn't even make myself wear one and it dies alone in a drawer (the screen popped out one day).

I could do that for special occasions like sports, short hiking's or going out to have fun but not much more. Oh wait, I wouldn't be able to buy bus tickets, show purchased tickets at the cinema or show an ID (soon to be implemented in Sweden) so skip the last one and we ended up with an expensive sports watch.

> If you're on a motorcycle you have to treat everyone and everything as out to get you, because they are.

That's not the best way to put it because it implies that motorists will purposefully try to crash into motorcyclists. In reality, it's due to inattention and the risk of a collision can be reduced by the motorcyclist through defensive driving techniques. For example, when approaching an intersection, is there a motorist approaching or waiting there who could cross my path? What's my plan to avoid that? It comes down to planning rather than reacting.
Everyone here ignores Discourse because it's not "cool". Some might complain about its UX issues. Yet those same people are tolerating the mountain of issues with Lemmy or Mastodon because they are approaching "cool" status.

It seems unlikely the company will ever turn a profit. It's crumbling under the weight of its own infrastructure (some question how it even still runs!).

Rumor has it they lacked the manpower to actually keep the API running and scrapping it was a last-ditch attempt at getting rid of bots. Same bots who flocked to the platform after the layoffs started since people in charge of mitigating these were fired.

Firing abuse and content moderation teams meant there was a lot more unsavory spam on the platform and advertisers didn't want any of it near their brand. In a few week Twitter lost half of it's top 100 biggest advertisers [0] and it doesn't seem they are coming back.

At this point, I'm wondering if not paying former employees, rent and cloud bills is a way of getting the company bankrupt with litigation, so he can later claim that it wasn't his fault that it went down but "all the rent-seekers conspiring against him".

To be fair, there were a lot of non-technical or "tech-adjacent" people from third tier business schools who seemed to think Musk was a genius for firing most of his "overpaid underproductive programmers" and will desperately try to imitate his every moves (probably trying to play the same games with employee severance and cloud bills). It'll be hilarious to see them crash and burn in the coming years (see Holmes, the Jobs copycat currently serving her sentence).
