On multiple occasions, I've had Red Hat take 6 months to resolve a paid support case to fix something that already had a fix plus test cases committed upstream, and that could be cherry-picked into their version with no conflicts.
I'm doing the exact same thing, I switched ISPs and found that PFsense would only give me 10% of my WAN bandwidth due to the way the pppoe daemon is threaded.

My new firewall is Debian managed by Ansible, the playbook sets up pppoe, nftables and nettopng.

I really missed pfblockerng, so I wrote a shell script to download Firehol feeds and inject them as a set into my nftables rules.

There’s two interpretations of this that are possible, one of which is very dangerous:

When making styles for dynamic content, CSS should accommodate a decent variety of possible text lengths and image sizes.

This is obviously a good thing.

The improper interpretation is to write CSS so it’s future proof. Don’t do this - you don’t know what future will happen. Solve the problem you have today, cleanly. If someone else comes along and has to edit your CSS and sees all of this extra rules for a problem that doesn’t exist, they’re going to have a hard time knowing what they can and can not change. In general CSS test coverage is especially poor, and so it’s much easier to edit if all CSS is useful.
I had an interesting experience the other day where an item labeled "Prime" would have taken 10 days to arrive by their estimate.
Saleries are typically given before taxes. Taxes in Germany are, for the better or worse, fairly high, higher than in the USA (sales tax is much higher). Expect some 42% income tax if you earn well.

The church tax ("Kirchensteuer") applies if you are (declared) member of either dominant religion (Lutheran protestant or Catholic christian). It's the state which levies the tax, but only as a service to the church to which the funds are passed. It is about 10% of the income tax, i.e. about 4% of your taxable income.
Sure. I didn't say "in current moral philosophy", I said "in current law". The context is clear, and I suspect it was entirely clear to you.
I was raised with a bookshelf with a lot of good books and they no doubt made a huge impact on me:

- Help Me Be Good series by Joy Berry. Its 28 books, each about a particular misbehavior: stealing, cheating, lying, etc. When I was a kid, if I ever did something bad, part of my punishment was that my parents would read the book about whatever I did wrong, and we reflect on why that was wrong and what I can do better. We'd also read them not as part of punishment, which always felt better since I wasn't in trouble for anything, but also helped solidify the values.

- DK makes great books for all ages, you can't really go wrong there. I always enjoyed the Illustrated Guide to World Myths. I'll probably buy some of the illustrated history books for my kids.

- My parents put a bunch of art books about famous artists on the shelf: Davinci, Michelangelo, Van Gogh, etc.

- Narnia series by C.S. Lewis. They also make a graphic novel of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

- Dinotopia by James Gurney

There's a lot I'm leaving out but those are a good start. I'd also look for recs from mom-and-pop bookstores and your child's school if you are able.

That's great. Probably too late to make an impact (And I say this as someone who uses XMPP regularly), but I would have killed for something like that 10 years ago. Weeding through clients was such a pain. 90% of the clients were either half-baked or well-baked, but super out-of-date, and without having certain XEP numbers memorized, finding the remaining 10% was super frustrating.

'Sufficiently long' is doing a lot of work though. 1$a}F is a five symbol password and so is ASufficientlyLongPassPhrase. Unless an attacker has some specific knowledge about how the passwords were generated, the latter is significantly more secure since the dictionary size for the symbols (English words, though none especially uncommon so top 5k or so should suffice) is significantly larger than that of the former (standard keyboard characters). But it's not nearly as secure as a password in the style of the former with the same number of characters as that passphrase.
For anyone that works on something like this, either at Amazon or elsewhere, I'm genuinely curious how the meetings/discussions around building a purposefully terrible UI go. I assume everyone knows what's going on (i.e. making it difficult to cancel); does anyone ever speak up? Do people just go along with it?
A raytraced game without a demo video? Impossible! Indeed ... here are a 4K gameplay recordings:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EON6FkZaRE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bSplFqGEhw

Edit: my gosh, does that look awesome! I suggest you jump right into the middle of the first video to get an idea how it looks.
Here's an elaboration of what I mean.

Writers should adopt two habits: (1) Sign your statements. If you say something, sign it, so that others know you said it. Cryptography is good at this. (2) Hash your citations. If you cite something, include a hash of it. This way, if the thing you cited is altered, readers can tell that that's not what you were citing. Note that this idea can be applied to audio and video, not just text.

The rest of the responsibility falls on readers:

(1) Read (i.e. consider) citations.

(2) Read (i.e. consider) the sources of evidence you ingest.

Don't just find a video and believe it happened. Determine who has claimed to have witnessed those events.

For this, a public database of back-references might be helpful. But even without one, a decentralized solution is possible. Writers, whenever they cite something, could simply send their citation (and its context) to the author of the cited material. If the cited author attaches the back-citation to the content that was cited, then anyone who comes across the content can see who has cited it.

There is of course the problem that some back-citations will be rejected -- if you cite what I wrote to call it stupid, I am unlikely to want to share that fact with the world. But if what I wrote is sufficiently important, then hopefully someone will waht to host a "nemesis" site, which collects negative citations.

A public database of nemesis sites would be helpful.

(3) Read (i.e. consider) the reputations of authors you read.

This is nearly the reverse of the last point. When deciding whether to believe what someone has said, consider what else they have said.

This is of course a hard problem. An author might be qualified in one area and writing about another. An author's reputation might be damaged for extrinsic (e.g. malice) reasons, rather than intrinsic ones.

But a statement's author is too important a context to ignore.

(4) Do cool graph-traversing investigations.

Determine who someone tends to cite. Identify misinformation cliques -- close-knit collections of liars who all cite each other. Identify readership patterns that make people productive.

We have seen how social network information can make a corporation money. As a society, I suspect there is a similar amount of value to be extracted from them.
I disagree. I stopped using Amazon a couple of years ago and haven't missed it even a little bit. They're not substantially better than most others.
USPS limits $20 'per occasion' and not more than $50 per calendar year.
Many departments will just outright say nothing at all, or impose very strict requirements on reporting, or displaying/sharing publicly.
History is filled with non unionized companies going bankrupt too, seems like an issue that affects both.

Corporations are Moloch. They do not have human interests in mine. They are setup to grow and spread like cancer. Unions at least give some grounding back to human needs rather than the never ending pursuit of profit.

Why do we need to keep changing who we are?

Why can't we just be who we are and people learn to be more accepting of how others are?

This sounds immensely boring, shifting everyone to use the same/similar body language, tonality, word choice, etc.

Maybe I'm strange, but I must prefer the diversity of people as they are.
I’ve never been subject to those crazy programming questions either and I’ve done work for some big companies including Discovery Channel. They were all mainly culture fit. Granted it’s been a long time since I’ve interviewed anywhere. I do however interview people and make a point to not try gotcha questions or leetcode. It’s a how would you do this. Make it clear as long as there’s a solution there’s no wrong answer. I just want to know how they think and approach problems. And not made up hypothetical will never happen questions. Day to day what they’d be doing kinda things. 90% of our interviews is conversation.

Ideally more consistent and reliable workers, since they should be less likely to need multiple jobs to cover healthcare and rent.
I remember when this was first rolled out. You'd go to buy something on Amazon, and the whole page would be a Prime ad, while some tiny little text would say something like "no thanks take me to checkout." This change was when I knew that Amazon had jumped the shark and was certainly no longer "obsessively customer focused." We had actually bought Prime accidentally via this method. Now in my family we make it a specific point that we won't buy anything on Amazon.

GPRD doesn't target just cookies, but tracking in general, which must be known and consented.

Let me introduce you to the Linux Audio Stack. Laying protocols on top of each other, when everything is just files, is no different from layering protocols on top of each other when some things are files and some thing aren't.

The question isn't "will it be just as bad" but "would some things become easier, and if so, how many things would become easier?".

Because if the latter, then it's a worthwhile topic to think about even if we never use it in any commercial sense of of the word.

That's a close-minded, ignorant world view. Much of the world's most important advancements were made before any practical use could be seen. Why do you think that way?
It just seems odd that such an unimportant merger is being so strongly resisted. At the end of the day, videogames are completely unimportant to society (edit: ok, completely non-essential, rather than 'unimportant')

The truth about cookie behaviour can be found, as it's a browser-driven feature (unlike fingerprinting). But at least some analysis of the cookies will be needed, as I think essential cookies under some definition/interpretation are permitted?

Now what exactly that means I'm not sure. But the first thing my cookie banner does when someone declines the banner is.... create a cookie. But I guess we can argue that's essential for the user experience - to keep the banner out of the way on follow-up page views. Not a lawyer or privacy expert though.

Edit: above is behaviour I found with at least 2 cookie banners. I'm interested in suggestions if this isn't standard!

This is probably true in the USA, as that laws seem to not be enforced. But if you enforce employee's protection laws companies will respect them.

There’s also the stage where the court decides whether to take on a case which requires only 4 justices to vote for it, and we don’t know what happened at conference, eg how forcefully Alito was arguing. Thus, a 7-1 majority does not make a conflict of interest unproblematic.

Another example in the software world:

MS created a moat for Windows through OEM licensing (this also was a major part of the government's suit against them). This discouraged (again, see the suit) OEMs from selling alternate OSes in the 90s (like BeOS) and helped maintain Microsoft's market share. They also have excellent hardware support which makes them a very compelling option as most hardware gets Windows drivers first (not second or third and not written by hobbyists). They have historically had very good backwards compatibility which gave access to a large software catalog (WINE and such help to break that particular moat).

Those are all moats. The first ended with the Justice Department going after them. The second hasn't ended (for consumer hardware at least), and the third is still mostly there but is definitely weaker than it was 10+ years ago.

You're dealing with billionaire money vs millionaire money, the difference in scale is huge and the billionaire basically can put in as much as he wants. Besides that it's not like there's a limit to human greed, plus there's numerous other social benefits to just spending time with billionaires, etc etc. Cracking down in it like the government does with typical government employees and contractors is the correct way.

They try all of those different diets because "just eating less" doesn't work for them. If it did, they'd already be doing it.

Also, claiming the diets are "ridiculous" means you must have a better understanding of the human body than them, right?

As someone who struggled with weight loss, and got it (and kept it off for many years) via keto and intermittent fasting, perhaps the SAD is the ridiculous diet.
His points are valid, but they'd make more impact if the underdog was not Microsoft.

Tell us a story where a scrappy newcomer convinced customers to switch away from a monopolist's product. THEN you have something.

If you're objecting to the word "monopolist": MS was indeed defined legally as a monopoly, IIRC.
I don't think it shows this. I think it shows that companies expect unions to be a huge pain in the ass that they would go out of their way to avoid (even illegally), but it doesn't follow that unions are therefore effective at their stated purpose for the workers. That may or may not be the case.
MS knows that their sales effort target and most important customer is the IT department, not the users.

Thank you for sharing this! This is super egregious and should be in the article.
Maybe, but Apple is the only one that really needs to worry about PR anyway. Workers just need to know what they want.

In terms of like broader cultural perception/what you see on the news, its a lost cause for workers anyway. But I don't see it as a problem long term: if you are doing something that makes the bosses angry and maybe incites certain PR efforts to, e.g., make it look like Apple "won" despite an overall hopeful, or at least nuanced, outcome, then it sounds like you are doing something right.

Workers in general really have nothing to lose in terms of public perception. Consider all the discourse around tipping. Or consider what people say on this very site in some threads about worker rights. In general, people implicitly or explicitly feel that if you are striking/in a union/living on tips/etc, you have already lost some game and are a sore loser for wanting more. And if you pay attention to the news, this general idea is regularly enforced. This is all especially true in the US, not to mention tech-adjacent sectors. But again, not really a problem per se, just a certain kind of indicator.
You're right, and I agree. I wouldn't consider such a disclosure requirement to be make it no longer deceptive. They might just enshrine the deception into law. Like how all the spam in my inbox is (or at least masquerades as) CAN-SPAM act compliant junkmail. Following the law doesn't make it not-spam to anyone but the advertisers that were able to get a favorable legal definition.
