Why? I would love for the general public to be able to connect to Fediverse. I don't love Meta per se, but let be real here, the majority of people are not gonna sign up for random instances that run by someone they don' know, to interact with a very small and niche subset of people, with a risk of it being shut down by that said person due to whatever personal circumstances they may have. It's the biggest obstacles when convincing people to switch to Mastodon.

If this rumor is real and Threads takes off, you can still stay in whichever instance that you like, but now be able to get updates from the artist, the experts, educators, politicians, the influencers that would not have joined the Fediverse otherwise. And more importantly, more people now can get updates from you. Reach might not be something you personally appreciate but it's very important for content creators.
It highlights how much profit is made on repackaging things into smaller quantities for consumers. Mind you, in the US you have Target which a lot of people go to, because bulk buying is cheaper. We do the same, 5 kilo bags of rice instead of pound bags because we go through enough of it, it's less than half the price of buying pound bags individually.

But if you ever have a larger landscaping job to do, go to a wholesaler, they can deliver tons of materials at your doorstep for relatively cheap.
Surely this is about who or what you are following though.

Personally there is very little crossover between what I follow on instagram and twitter. So the quality of the discussions vary greatly.

On Twitter I follow developers and product people. The quality is better on Twitter, but it's definitely declined because of engagement seeking over the last few years.

GDPR has nothing to do with cookies or local storage. They are just mediums that are potentially impacted by GDPR.

GDPR simply makes collecting personal data without consent illegal. This is why a lot of American centric sites block us from accessing them, they want your data, and they don't want to ask for it.

I mean it'll be more expensive, but since their economy is doing so well I can imagine it's still a lower percentage of people's incomes than in e.g. Germany; all is relative.

I mean cost of living is higher in cities but so is income. Usually. Sometimes.

I put Google Analytics on my forum because I thought that maybe having it would help it be found in Google Search.

Google Lighthouse immediately started pissing and bitching about slow page load times because it had to wait for Google Analytics to load.

My site still does not really show up much in Google Search.

I binned Google Analytics because it basically did fuck all of any use.

I don't have one of those fucking idiotic cookie popups, because it doesn't need one, no-one needs one, and they're entirely meaningless noise.
Just like when it embraced the XMPP chats?
My sister-in-law (girlfriends brothers girlfriend, not that it matters) recently studied for a data analytics certification. Actually several.

The entire course (located on here: https://medieinstitutet.se) is based on Google Analytics.

Now her entire value is tied to the use of Google Analytics, she will almost certainly fight very hard to ensure that these skills remain relevant, nobody would want to retrain for 6-12mo on new analytics systems (or, god forbid, not be an analyst at all!).

I think we don't really assess the amount of lock-in we allow when we learn something that supposedly makes our lives simpler. Google Analytics was sold as a solution to you making your own analytics, because that's hard! and the cost is that google gets your information too- which most webmasters don't care about individually.

However now we're in a situation where at least a few thousand people depend on this precise tool existing, and will be economically useless if it is banned.

Personally I find this astonishingly foolish of the people who train exclusively on these tools instead of first principles and primitives.

That said; we also have "Cloud Engineer" as a job title, so I'm not sure we will learn this lesson.
uh, threads is mastodon.

If your code allows it you're fucking doomed anyway and will have multiple other type-related problems all over the codebase.
I think most people will eventually find such AI generated materials to be "cheap". But since you won't be able to escape them in digital media, it may return value to handwritten notes and face to face conversations that social media has diluted over the previous decades.

Education is one area where individual departments vary wildly across the US.

Some programs have really embraced neuroscience etc, but there’s minimal incentives for schools to keep up to date. Teachers going back for a masters don’t actually need anything more than a degree in hand to get a higher wage at their existing job. Which then feeds back into how these programs are setup and managed.
If I can pick anything my vote goes to Pancake Stack: https://esolangs.org/wiki/Pancake_Stack

I have artist friends, some receive private and state grants, others only survive on teaching and selling art. They do sometimes complain about how hard life is without money, but it’s a choice.

If an artist said “I’m going to quit art if the world doesn’t pay me”, surely most people would just say, “good luck with that.”

If someone’s art piece contained a bug that broke a company’s industrial build pipeline, and all funding for improving the art piece was gone the next 15 months, I’m sure that company would consider donating.

There isn’t a principal difference between art and software here. It is the nature of companies that rely on open source that is not well understood here, causing criticism and questions.

This is a friendly reminder that anyone interested in a 3.1 release in the foreseeable future should cough up. :-)

I really don’t see the complaining.
That sounds like either a fault with your device or misplaced expectations.

On my device the arrow points in approximately the correct orientation. (Plus minus ten-ish degrees.) If yours never work even to that level, even when you are away from magnetic sources then probably your device is faulty. (Do make sure you don’t have body worn magnets, or magnets in the phone case/holder of course.)

If it works to the same approximation, but you are expecting it to be more accurate then you should choose a different tool for the job.
One of the best write ups I’ve seen on using SQLite in production is Consider SQLite: https://blog.wesleyac.com/posts/consider-sqlite

I also use SQLite in production and it’s been pretty great so far. Serves about 50 requests per second from a single threaded Node app on a low tier DigitalOcean machine. To be fair, most of those are cache hits but it’s still be nice. It’s saved me money by not needing a separate db server and the operational simplicity is great. Biggest speed up I found was turning on memory mapping (which is different from an in-memory database that the article talks about).
Yes, they do have ads, but they're restricted to adverts for other BBC programmes. (That for some reason doesn't make them much less annoying.)
"Not available in your country or region"

Not a Twitter killer after all. Or any kind of killer.
Absolutely - you can export any selected file, folder or the entire project to .docx or .pdf (or both) effortlessly with only simple clicks and split seconds.

> The testament for its effectiveness is the visceral revulsion it evokes from "entrepreneur" types.

Exactly. It is interesting to me that GP uses the word "open source" while entirely missing the point of free software [1], and how copyleft licenses were designed to resist corporations taking from the commons without contributing back from the start.

> “Free” and “open” are rivals for mindshare. Free software and open source are different ideas but, in most people's way of looking at software, they compete for the same conceptual slot. When people become habituated to saying and thinking “open source,” that is an obstacle to their grasping the free software movement's philosophy and thinking about it. If they have already come to associate us and our software with the word “open,” we may need to shock them intellectually before they recognize that we stand for something else. Any activity that promotes the word “open” tends to extend the curtain that hides the ideas of the free software movement.

The surface of a black hole is also the most efficient information storage possible - each 2x2 Planck lengths area can store a single bit. Of course there's no way to read that data...
There's loads of untapped resources still, but it costs money to find & extract it; it's a cost / benefit tradeoff, or an investment / risk tradeoff. Nothing weird about it.
> I also discovered POSIX does not use the tar command anymore and instead goes for pax instead for some reason since POSIX.1-2001.

I don't have any knowledge on that topic, but I do know that the linux kernel doesn't use tar for the initramfs because it was deemed too complicated and unstandardized.
> unless you have the time, energy, inclination, theoretical knowledge

Why does anyone need all that?
Wow, I never knew that. My memories are based mostly on being in the woods in Maine, which is mostly pine trees IIRC. I wonder if I could get the same benefit from putting pine needles in my room or something.
I think what GP meant is that we already learn a lot of things through "spaced repetition" even if we're not consciously applying that technique. E.g. if you drive the same route repeatedly, eventually you'll remember the way without needing to look at a map. That's spaced repetition.
Fiskesuppe just means "fish soup", and the ways of making it are as varied as the name suggests. Putting a score on it is nonsense.
Isolationism isn't benefitting anyone anymore; if anything, mutual dependencies have kept the world at relative peace for a long time.
Yes, just not at the same time. If you can you want to enable WAL (that requires some shared memory primitives, so same machine generally), because otherwise writes block reads

With current electronic transactions all your movements are tracked and stored, and copied (in Europe) to a large number of entities - which do not have credentials for being (en)trusted. That is a "you MUST be joking" scenario.

This authority does not go after anybody. They got a complaint by NOYB regarding these specific companies and therefore was forced to investigate specifically them.
> figured people might think it was an actual compass

So you were concerned that people might get confused, yet you choose to mix angular and temperature degrees in the same interface?

An odd choice. I thought causing maximum confusion was the goal. (In a fun way, admitadly.)
Great for plausible.io of course. But what is the difference for the end user?

- GDPR: hosted in EU vs US, so your data is traveling less far. The things the plausible can do with the data is more or less the same.

- No cookies: don't see the point of that tbh, they will probably perform even more invasive tricks like finger printing to replace the cookie requirement

Bottom line, the website visitors data is still logged, stored and tracked - only now with a different actor.
Extremely Apple-looking placeholder page.
I feel like I can sense the "stuffiness" (CO2) in a room apart from the scent, but I do think it would be worth an experiment to make sure. I agree it's a potential confounding(?) variable.
I'm not blocking ads here, tools that I use for watching YT wont show them - Freedtube (dekstop) or NewPipe (Android).

I cannot use YT in browser, because I don't have YT account anymore and most of videos require scanning my ID for age verification or tightening my personal phone number for creating account. If terms of use support their monopoly, I'll find other ways.
You're looking at open source from the production side, but have you thought about the consumption side? I'm old enough to remember when Sun Microsystems expected you to pay for a C compiler.

Imagine trying to write Javascript when every package you import incurs a license fee.

> This would also foster competition between different solution offerings

In practice, it seems not to work out that way: the nadir was probably the early 90s, when Microsoft had killed off all the competing PC operating systems and Jobs had yet to return to Apple.

IMHO, it's not totally your fault; private information shouldn't be shared with others. It's your responsibility to verify what ChatGPT is writing before you use it; it's OpenAI's responsibility to not share private information.
Lisp, because of the beautiful way its syntax represents code as data and data as code.
The only personal data that you can get from HTTP requests without doing tracking or fingerprinting is the IP address, which Cloudflare also isn't using.

This isn't the default jpeg library. That's libjpeg. In this case, the `jpeg` bit isn't as interesting as the `-turbo` bit. Keeping up with the fastest way to implement JPEG on new architectures and CPUs is worthwhile.

The result is the balkanization of the internet, although most folks in the EU want that for nationalistic reasons and to prop up their own industries, under a thin veneer of opposing US imperialism (but being unable to do anything with respect to the things which actually threaten the EU, such as an over dependence on Russia.)
Again, there is a lot of words to describe the fact that machine learning is just lossy compression for a bunch of data with the possibility to interpolate between data points and get somewhat plausible results. This means data points may get lost during compression/training, and certain things will look off, whether it be a preference for banana pairs, even numbers of fingers or certain weasel words in verbiage.
Absolutely yes as one DB might be used by multiple instances.

You could theoretically get 128 core CPU and use all of the cores for django process..
Thing is, the IP address is also considered personal information (since it can be combined with other data to identify a person), and it is getting transferred with every request.

The CJEU ruling about the US is mainly due to the fact that US service providers have to hand over all data if US government agencies request it.

FWIW, Mozilla has been maintaining their own fork for quite a while now[1]

But AFAIK most Linux Distros have been using libjpeg-turbo as a drop-in replacement for libjpeg, after some drama in ~2010 where libjpeg came under new management, decided to break ABI/API several times over and add incompatible, non-standard format extensions[2].

> Yes, just not at the same time.

Does this mean that my processes need some synchronization primitive of their own to not to concurrent writes?
Kinda correct...but it's still a very America-centric framing of the situation. The American Revolution was at most one kinda-minor theater in the far larger Anglo-French(-Spanish) War - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-French_War_(1778%E2%80%9... And Britain only "lost" the American Revolution because it was fiscally somewhat prudent, and prioritized hanging on to other parts of its global empire - ones which were worth far more to the British Treasury than 13 little colonies in North America.

Vs. France was not so careful with its gold (or less able to squeeze the maximum military advantage from each Louis d'or), and the crushing cost of that war led to a fiscal crisis which precipitated the French Revolution in 1789. King Louis XVI's head was chopped off in 1793. (U.S. President George Washington, a local hero of the American Revolution, was very careful to proclaim - and enforce - neutrality in the French Revolutionary Wars between Britain and France.)
This is why I have no qualms about using an ad blocker on YouTube, but won't use SponsorBlock - if the video creator gets a direct sponsor, I'm happy for them, and if it's a crappy sponsor or a really annoying spot, I can use that as input for how much I trust whatever else the video creator is going to say or whether I will continue to watch their videos.
lmao, when Danes, Swedes, Norwegians travelled as vikings it was because our lands were horrible and we searched for fertile lands... Norway was poor until recently. Like really poor.
I've been to Broken Hill quite a few times, usually when driving from Sydney to Adelaide in South Australia and I can attest it's not the most hospitable place on earth—although I've been to worse places elsewhere in Australia. It's usually horribly dry, very hot, especially in summer, and there is very little vegetation (trees are somewhat of a luxury).

It has 'Hill' in name because the terrain changes on either side of the road that enters and leaves the town, the first sign one gets that one is nearing the place is that the dead flat landscape one has just driven through for hundreds of miles starts to undulate.

There's precious little of interest there although the town is of historical importance and very important to New south Wales, if one is interested in mining and early 20th-Century mining towns then it's probably worth a visit. With the exception of its slightly varying terrain, it's unlikely it'd be on the map if it were not for its wealth of minerals and mining.

For those who have never visited Australia there's one thing to understand about this country and that is it's a land of extremes: there's lots of desert, many droughts and where there's vegetation there will be periodic bushfires of enormous proportions. And when it eventually does rain it pours down and the floods cause immense damage.

Who needs analytics? I'm confused.

When I worked at companies using google analytics, 99.9% of the time they could have gotten this data from server logs with something like awstats or goaccess.

To this day, I still don't get what's the point of embedding some javascript to do extra-requests or a tracking pixel, when the data was already given once.

No need for travels - all you need is to use a VPN/proxy/tor. IP geolocation is not a reliable proxy for physical location (let alone residency - while citizenship doesn't enter the equation at all). I don't find it problematic that the law recognizes this.
Plausible can also be self-hosted, unlike GA.
Your response is resource blind, and is part of the problem why we're in the predicament we're in. Think of the amount of resources that a doctor consumes in the services they provide, from all the medical equipment to the medicines and other devices that they administer to their patients.
The really compelling feature will come along, and it'll be to take advantage of the acceleration capability of a new instruction set or CPU that doesn't exist yet.

I'm much more productive since I realised I don't have to use "standard" tools. It saves me so much time.

With that being said, I don't make everything myself, but just the thought that I'm not obliged to use the best-practice standard solution to the problem is liberating to me and it makes me so much more productive in actually doing stuff.
