In theory they are trained to avoid the workers to lock their sessions. I think they can’t do anything if it’s locked anyway but most workers are not loyal enough to their employer to risk being prosecuted for hindering an ongoing investigation.

Most workers aren’t involved in anything bad so most of them will not hide proof.

I do this with an old samsung phone I have, but I can't do updates on it, because on that model samsung included an overlay with ads along with the updates.

So I see ads (even videos!) instead of my simple html page, or on top of it. It's terrible!

The first principle, is when I have a thing (computer, car, toaster), I have the thing. It’s mine. I control it, I can have it repaired wherever, I can resell it, and if I have the skill, maybe even tweak it. But most importantly the thing serves me, not the corporation that sold it to me.

If the thing is a general purpose computer that can run arbitrary software (and I’d be tempted to include anything that can be remotely updated as "software", so this would include Tesla’s firmware), then I should be able to run my software instead. That’s the true test of whether I truly own my computing device.

Before we even get to Free Software, we need documented hardware architectures.

See, even when people get rid of their old tech because they get a newer replacement or whatever, the old stuff is often not broken; with repairs like a replacement battery, or the option to use it without one, it can easily last over a decade. This is why right to repair laws and standardization are so important, to reduce the amount of discarded electronics, and to allow a "trickle down" kind of economics, to the point where people can get access to technology for free.

Guilt for the faults of one's ancestors is especially strange in this case, since it only ever applies to one side (the European side), and nary a whisper of the past of slavery, cannibalism, and genocide are mentioned because those are things belong to the "oppressed" people (the Maori).

That's only part of the picture, though. Some bad things happened, but as a consequence, some arguably much worse outcomes were avoided.

The sole reason that slavery and cannibalism do not exist in New Zealand today is precisely because it was colonized. The British outlawed those things (and brought Christianity, which also had an impact).

The "displacement" wasn't extensive, either. The link says the "population may have reached 100,000" prior to colonization, in a nation of 100,000 square miles. Much of it, particularly in the south, was never occupied or controlled, the terrain was neither hospitable nor accessible until colonization brought roads. Now that area is highly productive and exports from there pay for hospitals and schools.

It's also basically unfathomable that if the British hadn't colonized NZ, it would have been totally left to its own devices to develop. Another, less friendly colonizer may have come. What if it were, say, Belgium?

It gets a little tiresome to hear one side of the argument for decades on end, while people fear ostracism for even thinking of mentioning the other half of history.
Do you happen to have some links to information about the issues you mentioned?

Swift async/await has worked excellently for me so far. The biggest issue is that most libraries aren't updated to use it (and sometimes couldn't be, because they require Custom Actor Executors, which weren't available until Swift 5.9).

I found the following video helpful to better understand Swift async/await:

You can use a tool of a system you disagree with to raise concerns against that very system. There is no contradiction here, only pragmatism.

GNU tools such as gcc were originally developed using proprietary software until the GNU fabric was dense enough to allow bootstrapping. How else can you achieve anything at all, really?

Hell to the no!

I primarily use bandcamp for my music, but it's most definitively not perfect. I think I use about 3 browser addons for simple quality of life improvements.

Sometimes the player is on the top left, sometimes it's bound to the bottom, sometimes it's inlined and you can only press play without fast forward.

I think by default there are no or only a few shortcuts?

Same here - my iPad 3 was used by me and then 2 children growing up. It's still working perfectly fine and has even decent battery life. But the app store shows a blank page, and even if it wasn't, all recent apps have a higher minimum iOS version (edit: because recent versions of Xcode will only build against recent iOS versions). And Apple is actively removing apps from the app store that haven't been updated in a while. So the hardware is still fine, but there is no software available anymore and no way to sideload.

You know, I thought about it at length tonight and I totally agree with your assertion. The comparison is ridiculous and absurd and I was way out of line. The downvotes were just.

There is nothing biblical or doctrinal about the DSM/PDR

There is nothing clerical about doctors, nurses, or orderlies, they don't have no ordination kind of ceremonies and they certainly don't wear any kind of distinctive garb that sets them apart, nor are they authority figures who are respected and obeyed by the community. These dudes all have casual temporary jobs, it's not like a vocational calling or life profession, you know.

There is nothing sacramental about psychotherapy (where a person enters a small room and whispers her secrets to a professional and gets helped) and there's certainly nothing Eucharistic about medications. I mean seriously, compare "My Body, My Choice" to "THIS is My Body, which will be given up for You."

Honestly, I write a lot of stuff on HN and send it before I even doublecheck it. Consider this an errata and please do accept my apologies.

There's nothing communal or familial about health care. In contrast to worship and churches, health care is private, secret, done in small offices one-at-a-time; we're separated in hospitals and during plagues due to infection controls

Nobody sings anything ever

Christianity and most other ancient religions are built on millennia of unchanging doctrine, practices, apostolic tradition, and familial bonds, passed on to all children. Medicine and psychiatry invalidate their doctrines every couple of hundred years and reinvent themselves anew. Practices and beliefs from history books are ineffective, barbaric, reviled and abhorrent to moderns.

Most religions rely on donations from the faithful, and few can actually compel such; psychiatry demands tribute and wealthy corporate supporters who can step in and guarantee their solvency, plus the state can usually use laws and punishment to coerce more people into joining and participating.
Not when the power balance is this big. Against big tech who has the resources to wear any conciliating opposition down, you think you're just compromising like a "mature adult", until the next time, where you're forced to compromise on your compromise and so on.

I understand your sentiment and I agree with you, but at the same time if we, as a community and as a society, are incapable of caring about the principles and philosophy behind free software because the websites aren't cool enough, then we (as a community or society) will ultimately deserve whatever dystopian fate awaits us.

> It is impossible to fully realize the power of a personal computer without using assembly language.

Steve Gibson would agree with that statement.
This. It is a very useful way to get access to unlocked workstations and corporate phones, which allows any city police force to search or access information that a national or foreign court might never allow, or only after a drawn out legal process.

A company I worked for had a few people at each site that had a kill switch that would lock all workstations and lock out all employees at that site. That would prevent the fishing expedition from succeeding.

Similarly, another company I worked for had a company policy that you should physically give up your corporate laptop and phone to customs, but speak to company counsel before giving any sign in credentials. Some countries like to data mine business travelers if they have a beef with the traveller's employer.

Edit: I should point out that every large company should have a rapid response security team. And even if there's no formal system or procedure for a police raid, it would only take a few minutes for that team to decide that they have an obligation to protect the company's data and network. They certainly wouldn't let non-employees sit at a terminal and do whatever they want for hours or days.
Why would you give them a break if this should've been tested, found, and fixed, ages ago?
> Those are physical labour based industries, and dexterity robots are very, very expensive and not cost competitive with humans.

Costs come down over time, generally. This also depends on cheap labour, which is an active area of discussion, I think you'd agree.
I understand your point and yes, personal responsibility is important and in the military, where people are not easily replaceable in the heat of action, especially in times of war, your point is absolutely valid. But what would have happen in that case if Jerry or Anil had quit in protest? Some other dude would have taken their place.

People will act based on ethical standards that are derived from their cultural environment. Since the 70s/80s, the American society (and more generally the entire developed world) has been reorganized around ultra-liberal Chicago style view of the economy and especially the Friedman doctrine [0]. It is impossible (or comes with incredible personal cost) for an individual to go against the cultural grain. In this context, personal responsibility can never be a proper substitution to our collective responsibility as citizens.

The silly notion of the heroic individual fighting against corruption, evil doing or whatnot is dangerous. Everyone of us is responsible for the world we live in, not Jerry in marketing. The law that we indirectly vote for and the one who enforce them on our behalf are the only true and meaningful weapons against our societies decadence.

And these actions against Google and Amazon will show were we stand in that fight.

I don't know about historical search but as far as running code, the advanced data analysis will run python code, and you can ask it to iterate until it works. here we have an example where it output an answer, decided it wasn't good enough, and then came out with a second answer.

Personally, I think we need new words to describe these things. Understanding, thinking, and reasoning don't really capture the meat of what it is and isn't doing. It's very good at a very specific slice of tasks, but it can also get fooled and be shown to be the stochastic parrot that lies beneath. But I spout incomprehensible gibberish when I get drunk, so, honestly, humans do that too.

Quake 3 is still free, you know.
> The FSF is clearly not reaching the people it needs to reach.

The FSF has been talking to users and to devs for decades, but unfortunately devs went from being users that had no problem sharing their progress to business people who thought that restricting access for personal, individual gain at the expense of the entire society of today and tomorrow is somehow "better", "more free", because who knows, maybe I'll be the next Bill Gates ?

I see the catastrophic state we are in today as the result of non-copyleft, of "Open Source" as opposed to "Libre Software", of the depolitization of what it means to take from the commons and give back to the commons, of what society means whether we see it as a sum of perfectly rational individuals with no money problems or as a group of interdependent agents. The only reason Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok and other big platforms could start up and be where they are today is because they could take a bunch of existing tools in the commons and not share back, to build their own fortune and control prison.

The FSF has known this for decades, and has talked about it at large, but no, developers don't want to listen. How do you fight greediness and individualism ? The issue runs deeper than software licenses, or even software.

>The vast majority of people don't care much about their freedom and easily trade it away for convenience, that's just that.

Perhaps if the FSF wasn't so abysmal at advocacy, more people would care about software freedom. It's very easy to throw one's hands up and say "nobody cares!" but I think the FSF, and many Free Software enthusiasts, are not ready for the required level of introspection to really examine their approach and why it's not working.
Sad to hear this. I hope for a fast recovery. I wouldn't have as much of an appreciation for free software had it not been for the FSF
Not sure why you keep harping on Electron. It's not even available on mobile and choosing to distribute an entire browser engine with every single app is not the same thing as choosing web technologies in general. The Dart runtime isn't any faster than V8 either.

The way they're using iframes to allow to have a persistent audio player without needing JavaScript is really creative. I'm having a lot of fun digging through its source code
Hmm, I think this is interesting. I went and looked at the paper and the distinction here seems very interesting. I always thought of agressive teasing type behavior as a way to probe the percieved hierarchy. Like someone only a bit above you in the hierarchy would get annoyed by it, a stranger would get hostile, someone far above would ignore you, a peer would play back etc. I do think it builds bonds though. If you watch two dogs playfighting you can see them pause occasionally, looking at each other, gauging the other's reaction. They can often go from agressive play to laying in a heap together very quickly.

The EU is one of the rare large public institution on Mastodon currently.

Also one of the rare institution to sue properly the GAFAMs successfully when they on-purpose try to fuck user around with carefully designed locked-in solution (Hello Internet Explorer, Safari and App store).

Like every large political institution, it is an hydra with many yeads. Nothing in the EU is entirely clean. But I would rank then more in favor of OSS than against.

Epic is a proper trainwreck, and summerises all that is wrong with management.

Hot take : fully cooperatives board games are either bad wargames or bad role playing games. But good social activities neither less and good introductions to the genre. And yes, it's totally ok to only play theses.

They are, I think still 'rares' today because game wise they are less intense and deep, so people really into gaming will prefer other games. But they are still a lot less rare than 40 years ago because there are more positively presented in culture and common and it's a lot more easy to convince people to join a board game night, especially if tell them they can avoid human competition and role playing.
GNU started with rewriting the Unix userland (especially GCC) years before announcing the Hurd effort. I think they developed and tested on BSD and SunOS, and later Linux (because they had nearly written the first distro, only without a kernel).

> "Man bites dog" and "dog bits man" have two different meanings based on word order. In German, both orders are possible and it still has the same meaning.

That's not correct. Both orders are possible but they don't have the same meaning. The word order in this example has the same effect in German as it has in English.
And the Four Freedoms are perhaps even more relevant today. I would urge anyone to read them again now.
I recommend against the Nexus 7. We used it for some 10 years, mostly with Lineage OS, as a video player for our kids.

We had two, and both batteries are dead. No longer charging at all.

Additionally, even before the batteries went, video playback was far from great at the end.

I used NewPipe for youtube videos and VLC for downloads. And while once playing, it worked fine enough, the UI interactions were frustrating because of lacking responsiveness, and the 7 inch thick bezelled form factor made it hard to watch anything without holding the device in front of you.

We've since switched to a couple of cheap 10" tablets and they provide a much nicer experience.
