That's more of a "you" problem. There may be a lot of garbage, but there's also a great deal of quality content made by some amazing people. Your unnecessarily broad dismissal of YouTube completely omits this. As with most social media, it's all about the company you keep. Be selective, curate your connections, and you'll find the quality of your experience changes for the better, dramatically.
Sorry about that, I’ve amended it. I was actually referring to the old man yells at cloud meme (https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/old-man-yells-at-cloud) but I recognise that I can be more inclusive in my putdowns.
That is not why Linux "failed"(1). It is because essential software for the average PC user like MS Office and the Adobe suite is not available. For games the situation has quite improved thanks to Valve.

(1) Linux didn't fail, the desktop is already a joy to use imho. It is just waiting till it reaches critical mass, then the Year of the Linux Desktop will be nigh.

A super solid recommendation is the series on nuclear submarines, I also really enjoyed the one about how carburetors work (he makes a clear plastic one to use as a demo, it's... wildly cool). In general this channel is just _full_ to the brim of really great stuff.

A fellow Michigander Alexis Dahl has really cool videos about a bunch of unique places in Michigan and the state's history:

Diana, aka Physics Girl, who is currently still suffering greatly from long COVID hasn't posted in awhile but her back catalog is amazing:

A good recommendation that I really enjoyed was the video on Rodney Mullen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFRPhi0jhGc

There's some really great stuff on YouTube, I'm sad that it's only offered on YouTube and wish some would move to something else simultaneously, like Floatplane or something where I could just pay a small monthly fee to get the videos at the same time.
I used to work for a company that encouraged people to upvote their blog, even advising to wait a bit between opening the story and upvoting it (not that I suspect that matters much).

I'd be surprised if that's a unique case.
I actually think they don't charge us enough. I am paying ~240 for 3 years, so that is 80 a year, less than $7 per month. I would pay a higher price for this service. Especially if that will allow them to add more durability for ISP :D
A year ago when our market was much hotter, I listed a property that I knew would sell quickly. Where I added value though was in knowing exactly when to list it, the price to list it, how to build pre-market interest, how to bring it to market in a way that would force buyers to compete only on price, and ultimately, I got the price up another $200k (and other concessions) for my sellers because of how I negotiated once offers were on the table. So even in a hot market, your agent’s skill does matter in yielding an optimal rather than just a “good” outcome.
Cheers to you for providing updated context. This is why I come here.
Again, this is not relevant. It seems extremely biased to reject his opinion just on the basis on who quoted him. Noam Chomsky is frequently quoted in Russian propaganda outlets. Should we disregard everything he says?

By they way, you conveniently glossed over all the other points, where even the same person *you* quoted admitted the huge problems with the current narrative.

Yes, this is what also is frustrating about saying a few words for over the phone voice interactions to describe problems.
The battery in my 5T is at 75%, still acceptable.

But the headphone jack socket is basically unusable, because it is so worn, and I have similar issues with the USB-C socket, although that also depends on the cable.

Not sure what I'm gonna replace it with eventually, I'd just have a new battery if it was replaceable...
36yo here. OFC Sony was a synonym of quality. But nowadays you can get decent devices from Shenzhen.

And an $100 pinebook can do everything Sony could do in the 80's and 90's.
For my blog tool I made feeds in 3 flavours; RSS, Atom and my own:

http://sprout.rupy.se/feed?rss

Now that I look at them they are equally bad.

That said ActivityPub with JSON does not strike me as better.

Many thanks for this link. It's been something that has confused me during my own attempts to read manga.
I know there are a lot of people that are going to disagree with me here, but as a gay man I strongly despise all of this crap around cakes, websites, or whatever.

We are not talking about someone serving us at a restaurant or other things that have nothing to do with our sexuality.

Making a thing for a wedding is tied specifically to being LGBTQ. You can't ignore it while working on the service.

I just don't understand why we decided that we need to try to force people to make things for us when there are plenty of people (including those within our own community) which will happily do it. Do you really want someone to make something they don't want to make? The quality is not going to be as good. I would much rather someone just say they don't want to do it.

Now tact is also an important part of this and how they say no. But if someone just says no we shouldn't be pressing for "Why" since that just leads to the confrontation.

This just bothers me so much especially given the current political issue that something as small as a cake is the hill that we decided to die on instead of making sure trans people can get medical care or the crap going on in Florida.

I just can't shake the feeling that we focused so much on the wrong things and got our little "victories" that we celebrated and well... here we are now going backwards on things that actually matter.
It's a mess for all of North America and I have to wonder if this is only the start of the trend and each year will be worse

If you take the stupidest human possible, or go back further down the evolutionary tree to one of our stupidest primate ancestors, it would still be able to kill a chicken.

A cow is stronger than a human, and it took several human inventions to master, such as the sharpened stick. The sharp stick, and the bow and arrow, and many other things depended on intelligence, but also on the remarkable tool known as the opposable thumb. Homo Sapiens would still be worlds behind where it is now without fine motor control.

>It'll ask you to go, and you'll be leaping at the chance. And you won't even remember that you once scoffed at the idea that you would.

I'm not the kind of person that blindly takes code from ChatGPT instead of writing it themself. If you want to do that, that sounds like a you problem, and not an AI problem.

>Yes. Using only words. I hire someone (using only words) to be my chicken wrangler. He uses basic principles of psychology.

Stop trying to play word games here. The chicken wrangler using 'basic principles of psychology' is actually just resorting to pushing the chicken around, or conditioning it to being pushed around or being in pain so that it obeys automatically, along with conditioning it by feeding it. Notice how primitive these tools are! Notice how the chicken wrangler probably expects to get paid for doing this, rather than just hearing something so smart he'll provide the service for free!
don't we all?
I’m not affiliated with them in any way beyond being a customer. I work at a giant tech company, and the only money I’ve ever received from fastmail was a referral credit when one friend signed up for their service.

I’m a very happy customer, and feel compelled to speak up when they have a one off incident. It helps readers know this isn’t common, and that the negative title can be counter-balanced by customer anecdotes.
i'd imagine there would be plenty of pictures taken so you could link to one that's exceptionally convincing.
I wonder, will Google be liable if someone clicks on a malicious ad and gets infected or worse?
So Red Hat is saying that CentOS Stream is how RHEL is built, you are saying it is not. Can you show the difference in packages from CentOS Stream and RHEL? Rocky says they pull packages from CentOS Stream, and with their project goal remaining 1:1 binary compatibility then that must be the case.
Also: prevent privilege escalation. That's the big issue every admin of Active Directory struggles with. I work as a pentester and we get domain admin rights within days (sometimes minutes) in about 95% of all engagements.

Institutional knowledge is more akin to the ship of Theseus. Good companies know this, after all, even super knowledgeable employees sometimes look the wrong way when crossing the street.
Having just gone through a year and a half long search for a house, I'd like to add another good rule:

If the listing lists a room, but there isn't a picture of it, there's usually a good reason.

Real life example: saw a house listed with four bedrooms, listing had pictures of two. The remaining two were unfinished to the point of not having drywall on the ceiling or finished floor materials on the floor.

Being tradable on public markets means being listed on an exchange as a public security.

Fidelity is not listed.

This isn't an edge case: they're privately owned and not publicly traded.
good point. that's another factor that i didn't consider. and online sales are having a double effect here. not only is there no need for walk-in stores but there isn't even a need for resellers to import anything but popular products. the rest can be ordered directly from china.
The major issue with many of these houses is their design, features and aesthetic is totally incoherent and shows no restraint.

They put every kind of shape, texture, and material all into one house, in one room.

This kind of maximalist design is trying to seem luxurious. But it ends up being overwrought, shocking to look at, and filled with unusable features like that weird fireplace in the 'dome sweet dome" house.
I understand, and I concur.
Starbucks cups are lined with plastic on the inside too aren't they? Mmmm tasty microplastics.
Someone has to pay for the bandwidth and the servers. You can only convince investors so many times to burn their money for years so that everybody has access to video hosting. Maybe governments should step in.
Oh I haven't thought about Regretsy in ages! That was a good one.
You don't need your ID card in the US, but you still need to prove who you are. Without it they'll ask you questions and try and look you up somehow.

https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/identification

> In the event you arrive at the airport without valid identification, because it is lost or at home, you may still be allowed to fly. The TSA officer may ask you to complete an identity verification process which includes collecting information such as your name, current address, and other personal information to confirm your identity. If your identity is confirmed, you will be allowed to enter the screening checkpoint. You will be subject to additional screening, to include a patdown and screening of carry-on property.
FWIW, I admire your dedication.
I suspect Reddit's echo chamber is because of

1. "shadow moderation" (Robert Hawkin's term, see https://www.reveddit.com/#spread_word)

2. "The masses" entered. When the site was smaller, diversity was expected (as well as the average technical proficiency of the users). With larger numbers, diverse thought held by minorities is harder to hear.
If this really comes, I think it would be not too hard to modify the ad blockers, that ads are being "served" but into the void (muted, invisible container). In a way, that makes it hard or impossible for ad blocker dedection. Blocking youtube ad videos will be more hard to block without detection.

Not an optimal solution, as it still uses more data, but nothing is, if we cannot solve the base problem that we have an ad financed internet.
Its a vicious cycle. The more adblocking people do the worse that ads get since they need to be more agressive to make more money to make for the people who use AdBlock.
Depending on the location, soon enough million dollar listings will be average family homes.
HN was originally looking for user entrepeneurialness. Interestingness is a poor goal, if it even is a goal. For what purpose are we looking for interestingness? "Why?"

I suppose we can start by splitting up introvert and extrovert brands of interesting. Entrepeneurialness for example comes in both pondering alone time and the gathering of crowds.

If we could succeed at creating or uploading a digital dang people would be able to bench their publications in advance and create the SEO click bait hell all over until eventually (like google) success has it that the only remaining signal of quality is how high it was ranked previously back when the algo still worked. Counting click-though is specially terrible there.

Only setting real goals and tuning against exploits could produce hard numbers. It's much easier if the goal is selling a product but even then there is the short and the long game.
I should look if that coffee dude on youtube ever did a video on making fast cold brew. Like can you use one of those protein shake balls and just agitate the grounds to get a regular dose of caffeine in five minutes instead of twelve hours?

Doesn't work for camping of course. Half the point of hot beverages and soup when camping is so you don't have an Oregon Trail-style misadventure.

I think it was just a couple years ago that I learned soup still often counts as hydration (obviously not so much if it's super salty). Another way to get sterilized water into your body, before public sanitation.
The involuntary taking of a persons property is theft, does not matter if it done by an individual or a government claiming to be acting for the "greater good"

I used dashlane for awhile years ago. Buggy app and slow syncing at the time, overall I was not impressed and would not recommend them.
> I remember seeing commentary like this a few years ago.

This blog has been around since 2016, so it may well have been the very same commentary. I certainly remember it making the rounds back then.
> If you own it, you still have a place to live, and you'll probably need a place to live until you die

If you bought it recently, you'll probably be massively underwater (and, since your plan isn't just a one-time cut to let people on the ride, but also attacking the dynamics driving value increases) permanently so, and fucked if you ever need to move, or to get other credit.

If you are close to selling and downsizing, and its your main asset as it almost invariably is, your life savings was just deliberately cut in half.

> Housing should not be an investment.

Maybe in some idealized vision; in the real world that exists right now it is, and its heavily relied on by the middle to top, by income, end of the proletariat and maybe the bottom end of the petit bourgeoisie, which as targets for class warfare go is a pretty odd choice. And trying to attack this (regardless of arguable steady-state merits) while handwaving the transition issues is simply that—class warfare against that group.
It matters in the context of Darwinian evolution. Crows do not design other crows, new crows are born with some mutated traits. And so on for everything else down the food chain. AIs do not mutate and grow, their coders do that for them. Even simple malware has not become independent of coders needing to write new viruses.
From other articles, it wouldn't be an account ban but rather at the video level. So you use a browser with adblock and try to watch 3 different videos, then the video player will stop loading at all, changing browsers or clearing cookies/data would likely reset the count but apply again after 3 detections. Although I do assume they would use a combination of other data like your IP to be more aggressive with detection blocks.
When you get down to it, there isnt anything inherently unethical about consensual sexual relations with a client.

There is a possibility of abuse, and the appearance of impropriety, but the reality of these characteristics can only be determined on a case by case basis.

I recommend getting a Hario V60 made of glass. It requires a bit more effort, but is easy to get right after you've done it a couple of times.
Some ads also contain(ed) crypto miners and malware in general, in addition to all of what you said. My feeling is that Google should be free to do what they feel they have to, and ad-blockers should feel free to engage in an arms race with them.

The worst that happens is Google drives away a chunk of its user base, opening the door for competition.
I'm not aware of all the specifics, rules like that are country specific but it's definitely possible that there are additional limitations.
Same applies to an awful lot of youtube's actual content.

(If you enjoyed this comment, please like and subscribe. It really helps me create more great content like this.)
Exactly. Snow Crash explores the idea of a "mind virus", which seemed a little silly when I originally read the book. But nowadays, it's clear that most ad campaigns are exactly that: hacks of the brain.

Just think about the ad strategies of, say, Coca-cola and Pepsi. They don't tell you about a new product. They don't inform you about any benefits of their product, or advantages relative to the competition. They purely exist to keep the brand names in your head, and associate the brand names with images of people having fun. And the saddest part is, it works! We desperately need regulation to prevent companies from hacking consumer's brains into zombies who grab products on the shelf based on how many times they've heard the name spewed out of their television in the last 24 hours.

On the flip side, I would be happy to allow purely informative, contextual, non-tracking ads in my browser. Objective statements about new products I'm actually interested in? Sure! Privacy invading, mind manipulating mental malware? No thanks.

I would disagree. The leading organization is much more aligned with the needs of the nation than the likes of Iran or Russia, which probably wouldn't mind bombing the shit out of their own city if it was necessary to stay in power.

For example they actually bow to American pressure and try to avoid sanctions or other trade problems. As of today their navy could be completely destroyed with like 30% of the US Navy, so any naval blockade is probably unbreakable for them. Iran's hunta would (and did) just say "whatever" and continued tanking the GDP.

Another example - the Chinese intelligence helps domestic industries, even those that are far from the defense business.
Nitter and Mastodon bridges are still operational.
IBM sees economic utility as just making money. They don't see the utility of name branding and ease of transition.

For example, I was using CentOS for prototype development. No way would I be able to get RHEL for this. CentOS allowed for not having to hassle with development license management with RHEL. Meaning more time spent on trying to get something work vs handling business to business logistics. This way, if the prototype was deemed acceptable, I could hand off OS management to IT and they could handle B2B logistics.

Now I no longer prototype with an easily transferable RHEL style OS. Means IBM just reduced their probability of receiving future support contracts. This is where IBM lacks understanding of economic utility.
Real life example from Chatham County, NC. Family built a new house. Passed all inspections. House is not structurally sound and they've been advised the house needs to be completely rebuilt. They won a suit against the home builder, but the builder hasn't paid.

The ads business is certainly one of enshittification. But, it becomes too shitty when the incumbents start milking every possible inch of the screen for as many seconds as they can. This happened with tv, cable, newspapers, and now streaming services.

There is a always a chance that the next generation gets hooked on to a different platform. That phase where an emerging competition is eating the incumbent's lunch is the best time to be there.
I think this small section of the article is what resonated with me the least, but then they could use the "delusional" headline.

Almost everything else in the article either matches my own outlook or at least makes a lot of sense to me. And I'm not gen Z, I'm just a frustrated guy in my 30s.
Hasn’t Trump completely abandoned Twitter, and very much prefers his de-federated Mastodon instance? I’d say you can’t put an indefinite delay on for any longer than, well, indefinite.

That aside, you’re absolutely right. It’ll be interesting to see why Elon would hide away his money sink, especially when they made such a big hoopla about removing this very thing from the beginning.
I think nobody has mentioned the gaming phones like Infinix. I bought Infinix as a test device and was surprised with the affordable price and large storage. And importantly I haven't noticed any bloatware apps.
If I'm reading that reddit comment correctly it referred to contributions to RHEL not contributions to open source, which if I'm reading it correctly was what your original comment stated.

It seems that Rocky Linux have contributed code as open source, just not directly to RHEL.
It seems like they started replying on Twitter https://twitter.com/Fastmail/status/1674788776202350593

No new updates, just that they are still working on this issue.

I must agree. I'm doing well for myself, and I'd love to have a house with some of the features that are mocked on that site.

Except the house has to be net zero or close to it. The nice thing about my house is all the environmental stuff is well-hidden from the street.
The strong claim is that I, and most people, actually enjoy what we say we enjoy? That is dangerous levels of cynicism.
As far as I can tell there's no way to get proper pinch-to-zoom in Xorg, so I'm going with Wayland for now.

It is totally insane that this is a thing for a user to think about.
After Youtube inserted more obnoxious ads and the older ad blockers stopped working I simply viewed youtube less a lot less. Personally I don't like video content as its too slow of a medium to deliver information - I cant skim a video like an article. So that's already a strike. If I see ads that wont let me skip them, I close the video. Nothing is that important to waste a minute my time.

I mean you have to watch an ad to watch a film preview - an ad itself. Absurd platform I prefer not to engage with anymore.
