Anybody feel like this is ironically going to accelerate the decline of twitter?

I'm never, EVER making a twitter account. However publishers still communicate with me via tweets I could see. Now that I need an account to view tweets, publishers just have a smaller audience.

I'll just see the screenshots on reddit anyway :)
IMO "lying" implies intent, and "MDN" misses that it's specifically an LLM "AI help" assistant that most people won't yet be aware of.

From the title I was thinking along the lines of MDN automatically swapping out an article on encryption to falsely claim a function doesn't exist depending on country to comply with local laws, for example.
It's not centralized businesses that inevitably fail, it's businesses that become top dog that inevitably fail.

If you own a company and want it to last through the ages and you aren't literally the only guy in town, never become number one. Aim high, but don't hit the top.

The same can be said for countries and practically any organization or group. You stay an underdog if you do not want to ever fail.

No cameraphile uses on-camera software to.. do anything. That you can do better on a computer than a phone then goes without saying.

I'm not going to carry it everywhere no, nor did I say that. (Actually I didn't even say it applied to me.) I carry my Panasonic TZ100 when on holiday or otherwise desirous of better-than-phone photos. It fits in my pocket. Not the same one as my phone granted, but nonetheless in a pocket while in a case and straddling a spare battery.

There are audiophiles and audiophiles. A good chunk of them will laugh at Monster cables et al. as much as any of us.

You can appreciate a better DAC than found in most/all phones without descending into gold-plated USB-C charging cables that maintain optimal audio nonsense.

And even that assuming playback of some locally stored file. I'm not sure any of the mainstream streaming Services offer a format/bitrate that it's not possible objectively to do better than.
There is also Jerboa. A bit rough but does the job.
Even if you were to buy into the proposition that "made in the USA" delivers any extra security, the foreign made SOC is such an enormous part of the overall system IMHO that everything else is nearly meaningless. And their table has several rows about PCBs, but do they build their own cameras? If not, where do they source them from? What about microphones and speakers?

1 and 3 aren't really compatible with headless IMO. Headscale is probably the best that's possible.
Yeah, I haven't explored this yet. The unlimited risk thing bothers me thought. Which probably sounds funny since this whole things is risky as hell. But, I was more looking into options or something to hedge but honestly everything takes so much time to learn about, test, and then do. So, I just wanted to focus on this and then expand.
> the law doesn’t appear designed to be enforced by the state: It appears to create a “private right of action” that would allow individual litigants to sue if they felt they, or more likely their children, had been harmed by viewing such content online.

This is the worst part of it. More and more states are going to turn to this kind of lawmaking and enforcement now that the supreme court set the precedent with the Texas abortion law.

> In the past ten years we have seen local multiplayer evaporate.

Split screen multiplayer evaporated for many reasons. Besides business it's also technology.

I'm not sure you'll find a single indie split screen multiplayer game that uses a modern, queued graphics pipeline (Unity HDRP or Unreal 4+). Even among big commercial games, Fortnite notably supports 2 player split screen, but Rocket League, Borderlands and Gears of War are all Unreal 3 I think.
> The GOP hasn't allowed democrats to appoint any judges (even when they had majorities in the senate) for over a decade now.

In case anyone was curious, literally the most recent appointment to the Supreme Court was by (Democratic president) Joe Biden. Ketanji Brown Jackson began her service exactly one year ago.

(Biden has also appointed over a hundred other federal judges.)
From the headline I assumed Ted was back to colourizing all of the classics again.
Maybe we need some sort of self-identifying system.

Like SSH keys, where you manage your own identity and then share a public key to each instance that identifies you to that instance.

Like an identity client you could self manage if you wanted to. Make it optional, portable, and transferable. So you can choose to let a server host manage your identity, or migrate to a self managed identity.

Yup. The key word here is “projects”.

The web designer technically isn’t turning down the client they’re turning down the project. It’s an important distinction.

> You used to have to declare the Script tag as JS, but you don’t anymore since HTML5. Because all scripts are JS.

I wonder how much data transfer was wasted to this.
Nah. JS is fine for apps that need it. But a lot doesn't (every blog and news site) where JS is used for obnoxious animations and dark patterns.

And now the unwritten contract between users and companies has been broken, so I’d very much prefer most applications to be in the browser where they are contained instead of installed on my computer.
That source does not support the claim, in particular not containing the word "national".
You summed it up nicely. I followed a lot of tech stuff, and sci-fi, etc, stuff it’s hard to find on traditional social media. Following a tech Instagram will never be like seeing Netflix’s engineers posting to r/Kubernetes for an outage in the middle of the night.

And even if I wanted to keep using Reddit, a lot of brain drain has already happened, so it’s so much less useful already, and it really feels like one of my favorite tools is suddenly obsolete.
Wonderful comment. Thanks : - )
The discovery hurdle was part of the charm for me. I liked the era of small, niche communities where you knew everyone and developed real relationships with people that you never met in person. Discoverability is what leads to Eternal Septembers.

It looks like there was DSSSL, which was designed to work with any SGML document, including HTML 3.2 documents. Curiously, the syntax was all written in s-expressions! [0] has some working links to materials on it.

Though it appears to have required an external processor, rather than being an alternative to "text/css" handled by the user agent. For that, you'd want to look elsewhere on Wikipedia's list [1]; one partial candidate is JSSS (JavaScript Style Sheets) in Netscape Communicator, which were JavaScript snippets that could actually be placed in <style type="text/javascript"> tags.

The big "mostly women" subreddit I'll miss, despite being a guy, is the /r/RomanceBooks subreddit. It is hands down the best book community on reddit. At least as far as community and moderation goes. It sounds like the mods don't think the alternatives are technologically mature enough.
TXR Lisp uses weak hash tables for mapping code to file/line information.

Hash tables support four flavors of weakness: weak key, weak value, weak key AND value, weak key OR value.

For source code location info tables, we want the keys to be weak (if the code becomes garbage, we want the table to drop the source location info). However, that table will usually hold the only reference to the source location info, and so values must be "strong".
NIMBY is not an insult.

I chose where to live, I know the reasons I moved here, I will fight to keep the place I moved to the way it was when I chose to move here. I'm a proud NIMBY.
> This is an unreasonable set of goals, given that the current system (advertising) fails to avoid any of these issues.

The proposal that I responded to wanted a system where a consumer can express their desire for a product or service given the problem and that you get back results that don't have the smell of advertising. Put differently, these aspects I enumerated ARE attributes of advertising that the proposal seeks to eliminate.
Can reddit issue requests to archive or whichever site is used to do it and have them taken down ? Or worse yet, rebuild their deleted history from the archives and THEN issue takedowns? I am realizing I have no serious idea how archival of digital content works legally.
I wasn't comparing MDMA's effects to Wellbutrin. I was using the example of Wellbutrin to illustrate that not all amphetamines are like amphetamine.

I'm also not sure you can claim that Wellbutrin isn't a stimulant, since it's a dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor.

A notepad window with a TODO list and set of links out to stuff (like docs or PRs to review). Or quick ideas, etc.

I just brain dump what’s most important in the morning and triage my work. Then get to it. If something comes up instead of reacting immediately, I paste it to the TODO list and maybe a short note.

Otherwise I’ll just work on first thing that comes to mind, or first message I react to, not the most important.
Oh that's dumb. I forgot to check my inbox before midnight. I had offered Tildes invites and don't have the password to that account (but have been logged in since years, can access the auth token, etc., but reddit doesn't want you to recover from this scenario, so that's gone forever).

Well... anyone here needs a Tildes invite?
It looks like status updates on https://status.stripe.com are tweets.

The most recent updates are available on that page, but for anything older than that you'll need a Twitter account to read stripestatus on Twitter. Even their Atom feed is a useless river of "A status update was posted" titles with truncated tweet content and t.co links.

It's such a shame, Twitter used to be so useful for stuff like this.
Thank you Apollo for all the fun times. You made it way too easy to use Reddit. While you will be missed, I’m glad this is giving me time back in my life.

I’ve already finished two books since the new API pricing was revealed, and I am NOT a book reader (having read less than 10 books in my lifetime, and I’m turning 40 this year). But I’m happy to be becoming one.

Bye Reddit. I hope one day your corporate leaders will look back and realize the error of their ways and how they single-handedly destroyed countless online communities practically overnight.
Just to be further specific, they're talking about embedding two separate webpages inside of one page, using "iframe" HTML elements. In the bad old days you'd probably use a bare "frame" element, but those aren't valid HTML as of HTML5.
Just because they are incompetent at extracting a quick buck from developers doesn't mean they are thinking "long term." Both are cases where the CEO is desperate to show they can transform the business. In both cases the CEO's ideas have gone very badly. In both cases these are private companies, so the CEO is on a long leash, with investors that loathe going hands-on. But don't mistake the lack of immediate consequences for approval of their supposed ong term thinking. If either of these CEOs had been hired by the board of a public company, they would already be fired.
Hardly simple.

Who recreates all subreddits? Re-establishes all the mods? Re-subscribes all the users? And all the while on a brand-new implementation that has to immediately scale to millions of users flawlessly.

That's a lot of work.
> I think it's terrible, just as much as it's terrible that the US rapes and torture civilians in the middle east.

But the scale is different, that's what people like you are refusing to see.

Just because one US soldier rapes one person in 10 20 years, doesn't make them the same as the Russian armed forces who regularly use sexual violence in warfare.

One is a once off horrible tragedy, the other is a clear systematic issue that the Russian army cannot seem to stop if they even want to.

> Basically, we shouldn't treat all soldiers the same: they aren't all war criminals, and they aren't all veterans worthy of respect. It's a career choice.

Yes but clearly the Russian army has more soldiers who are happy to use the Geneva convention as a checklist more than as a list of things to avoid.

> That's the thing that is left unsaid often: If the conflict is big enough, there are always war crimes (on either side). That was inevitable once the invasion started, and this should've factored in the decision: it was evidently considered an acceptable cost.

Yes but I haven't seen a conflict in probably close to 40 years with war crimes, especially the sexual violence and genocide that anywhere near the scale of what Russia is doing in Ukraine.
Twitter is redirecting Wayback capture ops to a picture of a poodle.

"Nothing to see here

I think it will only be moreso this as time wears on. With more digital nomads and WFH available, people will be able to flee the huge metropolis where their industry is headquartered, and they'll be able to live anywhere that the services are decent, like good, reliable, high-speed Internet.

If WFH really stays the course and companies stop digging in their heels about their commercial real estate, we could see a renaissance of repopulating the rural areas and a reversal, in part, of the mass urbanization we've been seeing.

And then The Andy Griffith Show and Petticoat Junction can return to TV!
So basically twitter is just about to die????

My argument is:

Because they remaining main usage of twitter seem to be people "tweeting" small important (from their POV) bits of news. This could be political news but also e.g. announcements of content creators.

The changes in the algorithm already where not so grate for some people for this use case.

But most important for this use case is that this tweets need to be world readable even if not world discoverable.

With this gone a lot of people now have to look for a place where they can do world visible announcements, and at that point why not only use that place? Especially if it doesn't require you to e.g. buy something like twitter blue to increase the chance that people subscribed to you see your announcement.
> What would a college degree bring to the table for a regular beat cop/patrolman?

Because Reasons, it's become expected that anyone capable of getting a college degree will get one. Which in turn means that not having one gets used as a signal of not being able to get one.

The push to stop listing a degree in job postings that don't actually use one is partly intended to correct this.
Finding communities is the toughest part.
What are the features apart from the granules? The black feathers rimming the totally dark areas? What are these up close?
Was wondering about this, as the likes of the BBC embed a lot of tweets
I read maybe a quarter of the paper and I guess I'm saying both.

It's robbing Peter to pay Paul. Someone with student debt gets relief and greater spending capacity and everyone else just get some more national debt and higher interest rates.

It is all upside for one party and all downside for the other. As the paper states, GDP goes up, but less than the total cost over a 10 year horizon.

Forgiving 1.4 Trillion debt is predicted "Over the
10-year forecast, the policy generates between $861 billion
and $1,083 billion in real GDP.

Now GDP doesn't equal federal revenue so you are really looking at adding $1.4T debt for a fraction of $1T in returns.
I don't see how that could be related to reddit charging for their API.
I sure wouldnt be caught dead in a shirt that says Nike on it.

I buy things with the least amount of logos and adverts as possible.

NSFW content didn't show without an account for years. What's the difference between using the same account in the official app or on the website or third party apps?

Additionally one of the API changes which also goes is into effect is that they won't serve NSFW content on the paid API. So even if you pay you only get half of Reddit.
Intel calls it 20A/18A (Angstroms) instead of 2nm and maybe the next node will be something like 13A.
One option not mentioned so far: gemini://bbs.geminispace.org

The important thing: use multiple sites to hedge your habits against such issues.
It is right to be present on Twitter. But the question is: Should it be the single/primary channel or only secondary channel filled from a primary source, like their website?

Of course, running a website, which allows those quick edits requires with dealing with secure infrastructure, maybe apps dir field agents to write something etc. which they could all outsource to Twitter (and vendors of tools built around Twitter API for scheduled tweets etc.)

Its somewhat similar with public broadcasters (BBC, German ARD etc ) putting their content on YouTube (where consumers are) vs their sites (where they control it, including privacy concerns)
Lemmy's team is very politicized, but even then it took significant pushback to change their minds about an issue that the community was decrying for reasons that were almost entirely technical.

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/622

I would not bed with these fellows myself.
I mean... for decades, the public institutions instead relied on private TV networks to do all of their communications. And propaganda. And they still do.

How is Twitter any different than FOX News or CNN?
I get the point that you're making: that there is a perception bias. You're absolutely right that there is. But also consider the old clique "a rotten apple spoils the barrel." The takes here would probably be a lot different if there was good evidence that these "bad apples" are being removed or adequately punished. I don't have a problem with a policy of paid leave during an investigation. Investigations need to happen and removing them would be going too far in the other direction. BUT we frequently see these people stay on their jobs, be let go and join another neighboring force, or at best be let go. That's a big issue. Yes, we should believe that police have to act quickly and make quick judgements BUT they are supposed to be trained for exactly that kind of thing. They shouldn't be held to the same standard as an average citizen because they aren't. They are a trained expert and thus should be held to a _higher_ standard. People have every right to feel like the system is corrupt, there's tons of evidence that it is. I mean just look how easy it is to become someone who has some of the most power that a normal citizen can expect. Compare that to other countries. I'd say it is one of the many issues.

We can both have a perception bias AND have the system be corrupt. I'm pretty confident that this is the situation we're on. If you want to get nuanced, let's. But comments like these are swinging too far in the opposite direction, hand waving away objectively terrible things. If it is bad, it is bad. Doesn't matter if 1% of officers or 100%, the incidents are still bad and should be dealt with accordingly.
Wait, what happened to TLC? They aren't "The Learning Channel" any longer? /s
I wanted to get last modified dates from some files, and I tried to use OSICAT-POSIX, but it didn't work because it was missing a non-CL dependency, so I used SB-POSIX instead, and it worked as expected, no issues. I was glad to have that option, and for that particular code, cross-compatibility with other implementations wasn't a concern.
The issue I see is that the Tech Community, that form and influence opinions, is going to be cautious about investing time in another private social media company.

Mastodon has the mind share already as the de facto Twitter replacement.

People were absolutely doing countdowns with gifs that were constructed and delivered to the client a frame at a time. I can't say that I personally ever saw any madman building a live chat feed with that technique but there's unfortunately nobody and nothing that could have stopped them.
As a kid, anytime my dad was watching tv, he was watching TCM. I've learned there were a lot more remakes of old movies than I realized, and was always told, the original is much better--aside from the black and white, which I quickly got over, that's mostly held true.
CSS is needed because this app isn't using HTML forms to send the data. That would be easier, but part of the magic here is that in addition to no JavaScript, the page also never reloads.

The readme explains how the CSS :active selector is used to detect button presses.

Laziness. Too few would want to host and manage forums, mail server... anymore.
