Years ago I had a boss who had a nervous breakdown. I went to visit him in the mental hospital where he was being treated. In his case he was on a very structured day routine and meds. I asked him what he felt did him the most good. He told me that he had a hour each day in the gym where he was to do some type of exercise. He said that he felt best during and after that time. Since then a great deal of research has validated his observation.
> And until we find this glorious and wonderful solution that is claimed to exist? We're expected to live in hell and surrounded by examples of how crime pays.

Maybe look at about every other first-world country in the world where it works a lot better. There's not many first-world countries that have crime levels this heavy and especially hardened violent and organised crime.

It could be caused by not just the penal system but also societal norms, income differences etc. A holistic approach is needed.

> We talk about how jail teaches criminals and hardens them, but what about all the opportunists seeing how they can just get free stuff without work. We substituted one failure for another, and made it worse for everyone overall.

I think this is part of the problem, the strong American aversion to any kind of government assistance to people that need it "because they don't work". It leads to really disadvantaged groups that in turn feel like outcasts and start behaving as such.
"The profession of acting" may go the way of the professions of milling, sewing, smithing etc - technology makes them redundant outside of the third world and edge cases.

I find it very strange writers and actors think they're somehow unique in this. They'll be looked back upon as a group of luddites hampering progress for personal gain.
I am using the same setup: sonoff zigbee plus dongle + zigbee2mqtt + home assistant.

Fully local solution with no 3rd party clouds, EULAs, proprietary hubs or propruetary apps or restrictions. Compatible with almost any zigbee device. A subset of tested and well-known devices is listed at their website https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/supported-devices/.

Recommending to everyone. It can be set up as 3 docker containers (zigbee2mqtt, mosquitto, home assistant), for example in docker compose. Or there are also ready-made images of Home Assistant with Supervisor GUI management for people not wanting to fiddle with that manually.

Node-Red is another great addon to the setup if you want to configure automations graphically by joining nodes together. Far more powerful than any proprietary solutions.
Has SIDS been linked to co-sleeping? I thought the risks of co-sleeping were more around accidentally rolling on or suffocating the baby.
I know what it’s supposed to mean. We may not agree on the interpretation or whether it describes this or that product.

Doctorow offers as evidence his opinion that Google search “suuuuucks.” That’s not a metric. Google search is full of SEO crap and ads, sure. It’s still useful, but most important to me: it’s free.

Monetizing the user base looks like degradation if you start from free and expect that companies owe you something for nothing. Otherwise it’s just profit-seeking. That may make the platform or product feel shittier to some users, but the “enshittification” comes from disappointed expectations, or opinions about how something should work. It’s not an objective property of the product or platform.

I don’t use Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, TikTok, etc. They seem like shit to me, but hundreds of millions of people get value from those things.

I pay for YouTube and GitHub, paying not to see the ads and other junk. So those platforms aren’t enshittified for me, but people using them for free have to put up with the shit.

I got robbed of my first kernel contribution
In a world where people are incarcerated on a scale unprecedented in all of human history,

This is only true, because prior to these times, people were killed instead. Or beaten to within an inch of their lives. Local "justice", lynching, mob action, used to be far, far more common.

And of course, many people used to be worked to death. Or sold into slavery. Or die from horrid conditions in jail. Or forced into the foreign legion.

While I agree that something may be wrong in the US, there are many regions in the world where the above still happens.
Are you or folks that take this same tact marching on Microsoft and Sony with pitchforks to open up the OS and hardware for Xbox and PlayStation?
You are right, Chinese govt didn't kill only 1 million.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Chinese_Famine

The US military complex is beyond dirty and its grip on govt power makes everyone sick in the West and the East.

But reducing the US to that and then doing a comparison with the Chinese government and ideology is unfair, in my opinion.

I'm a EU citizen and I'm more than happy that they're taking on Apple for this. After all, they're doing business with EU citizens, why shouldn't the EU tell them to behave?

If they don't like it, they can just stop selling in the EU, no one's gonna stop them there, but seeing as it's a money hungry megacorp hellbent on hoovering up every single penny that exists on this planet, that obviously isn't gonna happen, so they'll have to play by the EU's rules in that case.

Which brands? You can't put all tests in one bucket. I'm talking about Lucira and the one supplied by the government. We had 3 people in the family with COVID this summer, later proven by an antibody test showing 9,000 BAUs, all tests during first, second, and third day of symptoms were negative and, trust me, we get very good samples, so, it can't be blamed on poor sample-taking!

Lucira used to work on first day of symptoms with Delta and the first Omicron variant. After that, it stopped working! For Omicron, I was doing a PCR test for my wife every other day. And daily antibody test. Her antibody test was positive on a the third day of symptoms for just 1 day!!! Useless crap! When you're symptomatic, and recovered, what's the point of this test?! You've already spread the virus to everybody around you!
Why would they? There is nothing suggesting that there are infinite industries to be invented, once we have automated our core industries, will we all be working for superfluous industries? Seems far more naive to assume the status quo of total employment will continue due to some unforseen future of yet known new jobs, rather than thinking criticaly about the more near future outcomes of a much deeper automation of jobs we already have.

Pretty sure Samsung has sold more SKUs than fair phone has sold actual phones. It’s a pretty ridiculous comparison. Have they even been shipping phones for 8y?
dont use their apps at all? They already have scammy behavior for cancelation. It's like saying if you need medicine and you can only find it on dark market: the action isn't buying medicine on dark market, it's finding/asking for a replacement that is easy to buy.

> What are you changing in the terms?

> The last changes were made on April 3, 2023. We will make sure that you can stay on the terms applicable for the version of Unity you are using as long as you keep using that version. We will post these changes on our GitHub repository and https://unity.com/legal.

They already were caught changing terms retroactively a few years ago and created that repo back then. They silently deleted it last(?) year...

So it seems they do promise that (whatever their promise is worth is another question..)
That is also what we were told after birth.

My personal opinion is that the advantages of co-sleeping far outweigh the risks. It is much less stressful for both the parents and the baby. My wife simply slept topless, turned (half-sleeping) to our baby whenever it was crying, and immediately fell back asleep.
I typically take photos and videos on my phone. I periodically manually copy all of those to my computer: camera pictures, screenshots, downloads, WhatsApp or other app media and so on.

I then tag those with date/event and compress the folders with 7-Zip. Those archives are then duplicated across 2 different local drives and 1 remote drive. I don't really tag the contents or store other metadata apart from the event name, if one exists.

For videos about software development or YouTube/Twitch streams, I render them with Kdenlive and put them on my PeerTube instance as acceptable quality backups. I actually needed those once because the OBS audio setup was messed up and YouTube only included my voice in some videos, not the computer/other audio track.

In short, do the simplest thing that meets your needs, but ideally also have backups. Drives occasionally fail, data loss is unpleasant.

It may be regional, but I was born and raised in Silicon Valley / SF South Bay, like Steve Jobs, and my parents and teachers all said "jagwire." I don't pronounce it that way myself anymore, but that's because if I say it I'm often talking about the car brand, and I know the brits pronounce it differently so I do the same.

Do some google search for "jagwire" and you'll find tons of results about Americans pronouncing it that way.

EDIT: The word comes from a Native American language via Portuguese. I'm not sure about the indigenous phonetics, but the Portuguese pronunciation is closer to "jagwire" than the British pronunciation.
That doesn't mean we spit out 2 paragraphs of dense opinion about something we have no clue about

- user generated content (Youtube)?

- email?

- developer tools (GCP)?

(just about app stores)
I'd love a middle ground, but if I'm forced to choose, I'd prefer that there weren't other "app stores" on the iPhone, for many of the reasons stated above.

But the funny thing is, both of us have the same argument of "I want the cake and eat it too".

> "Why does it harm you to have another app store? If you don't like it don't use it!"
> But I want to use Whatsapp / etc! I just want to have the Apple policies protect me from what those apps can do on my phone![]

> "Why does it bother you that Apple sells phones under the condition of 'my app store or nothing'? If you don't like it, buy another brand!
> But I want to use the quality of iPhones and iOS!

[] This is what I mean by "middle ground". Today, I """trust""" Apple to protect me (somewhat) against random developers.
If there are alternative appstores, but either they must follow the same protection policies from the one from Apple[*] or their apps must also be listed in the Apple store, I'd be happy with multiple app stores. But that would defeat the purpose of other stores.

[*] (eg I must be able to use Apple Pay, the code still goes through Apple review, etc)
Upgrading to a new Unity version was a significant struggle for many projects at least a few years ago (especially if you skipped a couple of version). So that probably.
Mob justice existed too. And execution for minor crime, with king's justice.

Modern western police forces, with all their foibles, are far, far, far better than mob justice.

Are people even aware of history, and how absolutely bloody it was, with an immense lack of personal rights?

Fixing what's broken now is good. Trying to pretend it is worse than what was before, is absolutely absurd and laughable.
That's the lifetime of the objects in the arena, but wouldn't you recycle the arena itself across frames?

For requests it might make sense to have low and high water marks so that additional arenas are created during request peaks and destroyed after if you want to limit long term memory usage of your application.
The user has that choice right now to not install it from the App Store if that's their preference.
Completely agree. I have two perfectly good but now unsupported 5K iMacs from 2015 and 2017 in my household, both don't get any more upgrades. Heck, I would even pay up to 100 EUR/USD for longer support. But that's probably not a viable business case for Apple anymore.

I think it really depends on the person. If you're Assange, it doesn't matter if you did it. It's easier if you did it, but it doesn't have priority. For your in-group (be that cult followers or large power structures), you can get away with pretty much anything.

Which I think makes it even harder to get people to understand how shit this timeline is, because everybody is dreaming about what it could do for them, not to them. And the people who have reason to believe to never be at the wrong end of these sticks, have no idea how it deforms them, either.

Humanity has proven its skill at dehumanizing humans in all sorts of ways, with all sorts of rhetorical and technological means, so yeah, sure, "AI" (which in practicality means "surveil everyone and get them to like/do what you want them to like and do", the rest are gimmicks and chaff) is "nothing new", but it's still like humans going from "always having had weapons" to "fucking nukes".

Hey, OpenTofu Core team member here. I'm sorry that you feel that way. Is there anything specific that you'd change, or should be different in your opinion?

Being heavily community-driven (regarding issues chosen for implementation) is definitely one of our core goals, and it's a hard goal! We're still setting things up here and on the road to the first alpha release - your feedback would be very welcome and valuable. We do listen and strive to improve, we've just introduced weekly updates[0] based on community feedback.

Same thing different words. Your point (it doesn't happen to many so no one needs to worry) is an appeal to infinity, much like how Douglas Adam's used an appeal to infinity for humour purposes to “prove” that the population of the universe is zero (and any people you may meet are just figments of a deranged imagination).

You: “It happens to a small number of people, there are many many more people than that, so it averages out to effectively zero, so no one needs to worry”

Me: “Toe stubbing only happened to a small number of people, there are many many more people than that, so it averages out to effectively zero, so no one needs to be careful about their feet”

HHGTTG: “the volume of the universe is infinite there must be an infinite number of worlds. But not all of them are populated; therefore only a finite number are. Any finite number divided by infinity is zero, therefore the average population of the Universe is zero, so the total population must be zero and any people you may meet are just figments of a deranged imagination”
Can confirm. The best goat I ever ate was driven to the slaughter in a normal car with the people it grow up with to get stress near to zero. (Not halal, Demeter) and this meat was honestly on another level.
There is an implication that they clap for whomever they think they are supposed to clap for in your statement. I have doubts that is a good thing.
> I remember one classic one is the "no coffee when pregnant", the study says this causes problems, the test was performed on rats and by feeding them coffee in the amount of 3/4 of their body weight. We can agree that with this amount, it's reasonable it could cause problems. Very different from one cup of coffee though.

Honestly I don't know which study you're talking about, and I'm not trying to question what you're saying (such studies indeed often use exaggerated amounts because it's more likely to show effects, but it can skew the results of course) but I just found it interesting that depending on what "feeding them coffee in the amount of 3/4 of their body weight" means, well over a pregnancy it's easy to consume 3/4 of one's body weight in coffee.

It means about 150 mL coffee per day for a woman weighing 55 kg, over 9 months.

About SIDS and sleeping with the children in the same bed, if I remember correctly (it's been some time since I had to read about this) the very large majority of cases happened with parents who either smoke or are obese. I think I couldn't find precise stats just for non-smoking, non-obese parents but it seems like SIDS basically didn't happen in this case when co-sleeping. It also almost never happens with immigrant parents for some reason (even though they are statistically more likely to practice co-sleeping, here in Europe).
> That may be true today, but I don't think it was true during the early days of the iPhone, where Steve Jobs wanted no third-party native code running on the iPhone, only web apps

That was 2007. Can you show me how exactly Apple was big on the web in 2007?

> It wasn't until lots of developer backlash and subsequent success of the App Store that they decided to de-prioritize the web

They never de-prioritised the web. Implementing Chrome-only non-standards isn't what being big on the web means.

Open a list of most-visited websites and show me Apple properties on it.
I think this won't be as successful as other Purism products, as there are plenty of alternatives that a privacy-minded user can buy, that don't cost Purism's inflated prices (e.g.: see Starlabs' new tablet). At least their phones were less finicky than the PinePhone.
Nobody is starving in Seattle.
I did what CDC and the tests mandates - 3 consecutive days of tests. We had 1 person, got 3 negative tests, then other people got it from her relying on the triple-negative result. We thought she had tonsillitis as she had no other symptoms, but then after she infected 2 other older people, their symptoms were worse. A couple weeks later, the antibody tests showed BAUs up to the roof!

So, yeah, if you really want a meaningful and actionable test, which can limit the spread, it's the PCR. The rest could work after the fact being spread to everybody around you already. At the end of the day, this is the most contagious virus known to science!

Low-latency and USB are incompatible things. When I have a network device connected via USB it is typical to have 1000+ ms pings as a worst case.

> But without needless conversion from digital to analog and back.

AFAIK if you are working with some signal after sound player it is going to be analog. Possible solution lies in implementing a custom sound driver for a tx device and probably a custom microphone driver for a rx device.

Another possible solution is to get an HDMI input card for rx device, probably the HDMI interface will require having some video stream also instead of just sound.
I'd love to see some details on what you encountered while adding dynamic loading. There are a lot of decisions to make. In python, importing a package executes the static blocks. In the JVM, import doesn't have a side effect but the first actual usage causes statics to run. Similarly you need to decide what you'll do with conflicting names. Namespaces? last one wins?
