I suspect GP was referring to the diversity of thought as well as the diversity of race. However, I would also expect the average isn't a useful metric in this context.

The early internet didn't attempt to silo you as it had no real technical capacity for it. Maybe only (for argument's sake) ~2% of the internet back then was non-US/Europe, but that meant ~2% of the messages I read came from non-US/Europe. Nowadays, Xitter, Reddit, TikTok, etc. all have algorithms that try to fit me into a bucket with similar people, so even if now 50% of the internet is non-US/Europe, what I'm actually experiencing is far closer to 0% than it used to be.

The internet I experience now is far less diverse even than just walking down my local high street. Looking at that mastodon link, for example, is so unbelievably unrepresentative of the kind of diversity (by all axes) I experience just by going outside.
That's quite the leap! Good job holding onto the old one so long.

I don't think it's good enough, and I don't think the others complaining about the same issue are somehow unaware of charge+listen USB-C or Lightning dongles either.

My gripe is that I don't want to pay for a new thing that causes me a problem that I don't currently have. I don't want to carry and keep track of a dongle. I don't want to put wear and tear on the USB-C port for the 8-12 hours a day I've got headphones plugged into the phone in my pocket.
possibly, but we could also be wrong. Tell me the solution is to not talk about it but do it without the talking?
No worries buddy. I'm on here for for intelligent in-depth discussions. I tried my best to have one with you but if you can't articulate your points clearly and lack knowledge of the subject matter being discussed, that attempt was doomed from the start.

My mistake, I should have known better from your first reply.
And yet they cost a ton more. It is madness and incredibly frustrating.
Me too! Do you ever hear music from neighbors that goes on for hours? But the problem is, it’s not so loud that they’re having a party and you can complain. No, it’s just loud enough to hear, but not loud enough to record or for others to easily hear.

I had one set of neighbors who fell into this range for about a year. I suspect their place was sparse, I could even hear them push their chair out from dining table. I felt happy when they moved out!
>Spaniards want to be outside, but not in a sea of green grass. They much prefer a table in the shade.

If you want to talk about Spain, you need to live in Spain ALL YEAR long, not just the summer.

Almost the entire country but the north(in the north it rains in summer) is arid in Summer, because of the Azores' anticyclone, three or two months, depending on the place, but the rest of the year it rains.

Also the arid place is Murcia and Almería, some part of Alicante and Monegros. There is a lot of rain in Extremadura, or places near the Ocean, like Galicia, Asturias, Pirineos, Huelva.

In august you are going to see anything yellow, but it gets green in Autumn, Winter and Spring.

That is, 9 to 10 months a year it rains. There is sun too and it is a good thing because it is cold, specially inside. Madrid is very sunny and cold in Winter so the sun is great.

I was born in Spain, I live and work in Central Europe but I go to Spain in the Winter as it is a much better Winter there. In Central Europe anything is burned by the cold and then you have snow everywhere.

So it is actually much more green Spain in Winter than in most of Europe.

A possible explanation for why audiophiles prefer vinyl: beats and other distortions due to not completely applying Nyquist's theorem.

I'm still using text only usenet groups to talk to other people about star trek, cyberpunk, linux, and IRC. Activity is low, maybe a post or two a month per group, but it's real people and decent community. Come back and join us. Usenet/IRC/email/self-hosted blogging still works. There aren't fewer of us, there are just more people in the walled gardens.

This statement is void of content - virtually a tautology.

All soft skills are politics. Politics is large in scope. You do a favor for your friend? That is politics of the "good" kind.
I've been lucky, I guess. After I got it set up, it's just worked—even across various configuration changes I've made to Home Assistant and my network infrastructure.
And what a shame that we can't really call people the f-word anymore, can't even use LGBT slurs, angrily shakes fist at the sky.

Seriously, I don't get the people who miss these things. I admit that it was funny to the 14 year old version of me to call my friends the n-word while playing Call of Duty, but rather sooner than later we understood that some things aren't edgy, just offensive, unnecessary and hurtful.

And it's not as if edgyness went away completely. Reddit has it's corners, there's plenty of *chan sites, if you search around on YouTube you'll encounter "eDgY" content (edgy in that context == "racist, anti-lgbt, mysoginistic etc.")

Netflix and YT have stand-up specials from edgy comedians. I saw more than one "edgy" Discord server, with "edgy" memes and jokes.

Also typical that a bit furter up in this comment thread, the one thing which is deemed to be wrong with Mastodon is that Anti-LGBT speech is not allowed, which somehow means that you loose diversity. Because what I want when talking to diverse people is hearing them hate gay people for absolutely no reason at all.

Anti-LGBT takes are not opinions to me. I label myself as a tolerating, open-minded person, which doesn't mean that I accept or want intolerant and closed-minded people near me, and I refuse to accept that this somehow makes me intolerant or anti-diversity.

You could check "Don't show me this tip again". That's why I don't remember it as the main problem with Clippy. I agree that it was a bad idea in the first place to interrupt a user's action. Finding the right time and manner to offer a suggestion is a hard problem even for a human being.

Costs less to build, sells for the same money, more profit made.
Not a joke and not everybody is jumping on "AI via API calls", luckily.

As more models are released, it becomes possible to integrate directly in some stacks (such as Elixir) without "direct" third-party reliance (except you still depend on a model, of course).

For instance, see:

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HK38-HIK6NA (in "LiveBook", but the same code would go inside an app, in a way that is quite easy to adapt)

- https://news.livebook.dev/speech-to-text-with-whisper-timest... for the companion blog post

I have already seen more than a few people running SaaS app on twitter complaining about AI-downtime :-)

Of course, it will also come with a (maintenance) cost (but like external dependencies), as I described here:

I find that most of the time people pretend there is a proper way to do things its actually them talking about their lack of skill or insecurity. They seem to have it right because they have been doing the thing for much longer than you, so it is almost always an unfair comparison. If you look at it through the prism of ability development over time, it completely changes the dynamics and I believe those people are very often wrong because they only speak from their experience that is driven by their mediocrity or lack of skill.

In particular I learned to cook both professionally and for my own benefit and I discovered around professional kitchen that cooks are taught many stupid things that are mostly about covering somebody's ass for security or enforcing an inefficient way of working to keep people busy. You would be amazed how little relevance the pro cook learning has to the actual completion of the task efficiently; in fact they would often gain so much efficiency if they learned to let go of their learned behaviors.

Another pet peeve of mine is the requirement of "warming up" before sports like running or the like. In my youth, every single sports teacher of mine pissed me off by requiring this nonsense even though I really felt it was at best a waste of time and even counterproductive. And now we actually have studies that prove this as a fact, which would have been clear to someone who is not completely incompetent. Also, I have the performance numbers to back this up nowadays, so I am not taking any more of this nonsense.

In general, I feel it is sometimes hard to explain nicely to people that their limitations do not necessarily apply to everyone; it gets pretty hard to patiently listen to peoples that are clearly mediocre trying to teach you how to do stuff even though they are not very successful at the task they are teaching.
I had a version of your experience, but it resolved magically. No idea why. I originally set up the integration, and it worked. Then I completely rebuilt HA at one point and had to redo the bridge config, and it just refused. All sorts of errors, it just refused to even see the doors. Frustrated, I chucked the device in my closet and forgot about it for a while.

Then a few months later I decided to try again and be very careful and deliberate, and ... it worked. Just like it was supposed to. Sigh. No idea what incantation I did right, but now it has been working for several years without a hitch.

I did recently buy a ratgdo (well, ordered it at least, it hasn't arrived). That's my backup plan if the Home Bridge decides to go tits up.
This is a technical audience. This article is about people not upgrading phones. There are many technical and professional people that have chosen not to upgrade phones because of the lack of these features.

Clearly, that group isn't the main reason for the decline (it's not even mentioned as a trend in the article,) but it really shouldn't be surprising that there are people on this site who still take these things into consideration when upgrading.
But who gets to decide what stays on and what gets deleted? Does the tectonic plate theory stay on wikipedia, or do we delete it, since it's just a conspiracy theory (let's say we flew back in time a bit)? What about epsteins "suicide"? Would an articl about "heart problems as covid vaccine side-effect" stay on wikipedia a year and a half ago, or would it get deleted? In hindsight, it's easy... but who gets to decide about the 'now'?
I lost a lot of weight on a calorie restricted diet, from 215lb to 165lb over the course of a few years. But I gave it up because counting calories is soul sucking. I much prefer things like intermittent fasting or keto, I can think about what I am eating less and it's really raised my quality of life.
Not at all surprising to me. Recently I got 3 new LiftMaster garage door openers with the built in cameras. Over the course of a few months the HomeLink connection to the box supplied remotes stopped working, never worked syncing to (multiple) HomeLink transmitters in vehicles, and the installer cited "supply chain issues" when I wanted a replacement. The only thing that worked was the MyQ app which was less good than just pushing the button. And of course the video for the cameras only worked with a damn SUBSCRIPTION after 30 days with no way to integrate them with a networked DVR system.

Just one of the most awful customer hostile products I've ever wasted money on.
If you're a diabetic like me I'd recommend don't do intermittent fasting. I almost died. My blood sugar goes from 300+ to 50ish some days and when I tried this I never felt hunger. I felt like I was about to slip in a coma all day.
For me phones are a utility, computers are where I spend most of my attention. What I do value about my phone is the audio quality. I haven't found anything as good as the Quad DAC on the LG G8. (LG has gone out of the phone business)

I'm considering picking up any remaining stock with the only concern being security updates. Even if I use it as a iPod, it's not that bad a deal since it has a memory card slot.
With "fringe editors" forced out from wikipedia, the people who forced them out have become more and more political. Instead of arguing about homeopathy and astrology, hot topics now include trans issues and covid. The former situation was preferable.

The basic problem is that, once you win your battle, you ought to pack up and go home. In practice this rarely happens; success leads to triumphalism and excess.
Management that sees 3 options an picks the objectively worst outcome is absolutely the problem.

I'm not sure if you could ever see management as the problem.

You are certainly right! However, I find that addressing a problem as vague as financial insecurity leads to non-solutions being proposed that kick the ball down the road a little and make the problem worse. By identifying the systemic issues that cause the financial insecurity we can address them properly.

We have solutions to wage suppression, car dependency and housing costs. We just need the political will to implement them.
That user you are replying to seems to make a lot of claims and refuses to clarify or support anything. Very little real world knowledge it seems like.

There is nothing in place to stop people collecting and selling data of any American personnel, and a large market that thrives on it. At the moment sensitive US people, cops, special ops people, judges, whoever, they are just as susceptible to having their data sold as joe schmo.
And an even larger Doom community. I took part in NanoWADmo last month, the map making month. There are hundreds of hours of top-tier map content out there, a huge number of "megawads" (32 map packs). Anything by skillsaw is great, and no end in sight is pretty special too imo

You should change the title to more accurately reflect that. The first question someone has when reading that title is "effective at what?" and there's room in the title for it to say so without the reader having to click through.

I've soured on Wikipedia. You can't make edits without turning Wikipedia internal politics into your full-time hobby because you run into people who have. That doesn't mean their opinions are more or less correct, yet they count for more.

Any political or politically controversial topic you basically get the US State Dept.-approved official/propaganda narrative on the topic with 0 room for other views. To actually get the full view of these topics that should be in the article, you instead have to refer to the dozens-of-pages-long Talk pages to see all the non-corporate-media viewpoints being squashed and silenced. These in turn aren't readily available in mobile format.

I recently was researching a news outlet blacklisted as a source from Wikipedia, which is known for being very pro-Palestinian. When I googled the very first username for the vote on Wikipedia to ban them, it belonged to a pro-Israeli think tank writer in DC. How interesting it would be to unmask the rest of the votes.

So my trust in Wikipedia on the issues where you need trust is basically 0.
I suspect this is because they don't have contracts with enforceable SLAs yet. When they do, you will see more 'degraded performance'.

People get credits for 'outages', but if it is sometimes working for someone somewhere then that is the convenient fiction/loophole a lot of companies use.
Thanks so much your book review, Fabien! I wrote "Efficient Linux at the Command Line" because I kept meeting Linux/Unix users (over the past 30 years) who had learned the command line mostly by trial and error. They could use Linux OK for their jobs, but they didn't know the underlying concepts and had all sorts of inefficiencies or superstitions. I'd spend a few minutes with these users, and their speed at the command line would literally double, just from showing them job control, CDPATH, the directory stack, and other features they'd missed. I'm glad you enjoyed the book.
It does suck, but can you still use it remotely via the myQ app?
How can you possibly claim that social diversity was universal in the old school internet when "tits or gtfo" was an extremely common meme for anyone who claimed to be female?

No, in my experience people mostly kept to individual federated spaces dependent on interests or demographics. LGBTQ people kept to their IRC channels, black people kept to their channels, and banned anyone who was also a member of the local nazi IRC channel. This was totally normal and I don't see a difference between 1990s era IRC and Fediverse in this respect.

Not just future-you, future-everyone-on-the-team.

And in my experience it isn't true that nobody in leadership appreciates this. I think it's easy to make the case that it is worth investing today to make it less burdensome for a team in the future, which may or may not contain the current team members, to evolve the software being written in the moment. This makes sense to everyone in a business, because the same is true of any business process.

"Clean code" is not the only way to accomplish this; processes and documentation are other things you can do. But I also think it's easy to make the case that writing comprehensible code actually has the best lifetime return on investment. It isn't hard to do - indeed, it's often easier to ship working features with well-structured code, and it requires less future toil than documenting a process that requires working around poorly structured code.

But of course often times there is a tipping point where further tinkering with making code "clean" is no longer net positive. But I think codenames that tend toward I dunno, maybe 95% cleanliness provide good value to an organization.
No such project. Author finds one can set local git config to known names and emails of other people, and then create commits.
That's just leaving the internet to the most insane. A tiny bit of effort to post cuts out 95% of participants, leaving mostly the obsessed, often with a specific axe to grind. Cutting by 95% again is distilling nuttiness.

The thing that should happen is carefully cultivating closed memberships, and real tools for formal group decision-making. Mods are just benevolent dictators, and the debate that happens around mods with absolute power is essentially theater. Wikipedia barely hides this with its votes that anybody can show up to, and its code of rules being a arbitrary wise-sounding series of koan-shaped aphorisms. Wikipedia has been vulnerable to anybody with a few bucks and an issue that they're willing to camp on.

The only reason one can't manipulate Wikipedia at will is because you may have some real life opposition who is also attacking the same articles you are. Instead of formalizing that competition between people of different opinions, Wikipedia has ultimately fallen into dictating who is correct based on the opinion of the highest ranked interested person, within an organization that survives on donations and on volunteer editors who get income from any number of sources. This can't stand up to the manipulation of someone invested in distorting the history of hard-shelled tacos, it certainly can't (and isn't) standing up to state-state level actors.
We've been asking the pedophiles to stop, but that hasn't been working so far.
At all points they are updating the spreadsheet entitled "cost/benefits of leaving Sweden." I suppose the labor cartel is trying for the razor's edge on that.

I do like people arguing that other companies are better for workers. Perfect! Work there instead. No joke--I've done that.

Amazon is an interesting example: In Germany they insisted on paying their warehouse workers based on, but not boind by, Germany's collective bargained logistics agreement (Tarifvertrag) and not the retail one. On France, during the same time, they accepted the French retail agreement with the respective unions. Guess which one, retail or logistics, has the lower salaries in each country.

That Tesla isn't even willing to accept the smallest concessions in countries they operate in, no idea why they do this...
Go is one of those games I could never understand whether a move I was making was a good one or not. It just felt like I was randomly placing stones and then at the end had to count up and see who won as I certainly had no clue how it was progressing. Is that normal for new players or am I particularly challenged in that area? Chess is a less abstract game where I can generally tell what's going on.

Regarding Quake, I think you're right. Nothing else is quite like it.
You weren't joking about the height of the stack of paper in another comment.

I don't blame your installer for recommending it. I've had a myQ opener since 2015 and it's been rock solid... it has been the most reliable home automation product I have ever owned, until now.
Yep - SF and Honolulu were frustrating places to live. Waiting for elevators. Shared laundry spaces. No privacy. Noisy neighbors. Noisy parking garages. Noisy street traffic.

I spent 6 months in Sweden and have traveled to a handful of other European countries.

The quiet suburban/rural life is for me. After growing up in LA, bouncing around SF, DC and HNL I have settled in Michigan and really enjoy it here. Plenty of room, not very congested, progressive policies. Life is good (albeit sometimes very cold)
So when a topic like the Hunter Biden laptop comes up right before an election, could clearly impact it and... the mainstream media just refuses to report, or uncritically calls it a hoax. Wikipedia claims NYPost is an unreliable source, and social media sites blackout the topic.

Turns out, "fringe" thing that was definitely not true was true. Was the consensus better? Doesn't seem so, and it's not an isolated instance.
