The Western camp has never invented any framework that would let Russia be in it.

What it could offer was: you sit here and sell us cheap oil and gas, while we court all your neighbours to stop associating with you and associate with us instead. But it did not have any meaningful participation format for Russia, only that it should be increasingly lonely. Not to mention stuff like visa waiver or student exchange programmes. In the end even at the best of relations the integration was actually tiny.

When confronted with this, the West will usually deflect and blame it all on Putin, which is also not constructive: This does not offer any plan to a regular Russian, especially seeing how close EU politicians were to Putin at that time and how they did not care if he stays for as many terms as he wanted to.
> Critical bug that exists in every Linux boot loader signed in the past decade

Huh? This is a bug in a single bootloader. It has nothing to do with other bootloaders. And while on the subject, consider whether you actually need a bootloader at all.

Thanks! I was looking for the word 'sign' and couldn't find it.

I now think I was wrong earlier.

Summarizing https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html:

> The information (ie 'methods, procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install and execute modified versions of a covered work') must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because modification has been made.

The purpose of allowing signing is exactly to ensure modified code does not function in that environment.

Yes MS (and you) would be right. GPLv2, BSD or MIT would be fine but GPLv3 would not.

-----------------------------------

Edit reply to baobun (rate limit means I can't post)

I did think about that, but:

> continued functioning of the modified object code

is vague. Does it mean a new firmware binary should continue working on the same device as the unmodified predecessor or using is a new device (that allows arbitrary entities to sign) considered to be "continued functioning"?

They say its a bit under 1% of developers. According to this article, they have 34 million registered developers:

https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/06/06/apple-now-has-ove...

So, it's probably within a factor of ten of 340,000 developers. That's a lot of apps.
Except Apple’s App Store has a monopoly on half of all phones, and there are plenty of other potential distributors that would be happy to enter and compete but are locked out. Apple wants you to accept that “just a distribution model” position because it helps them further cement their illegal monopoly.
Apple inherits the earth
Then you are conceding that the choice is to ether install those stores or not play the game?

That is the exact point that I am trying to make in my post. That is not giving a user a choice that should matter to the User. That is removing the opportunity to me to play a game from where I want to play it.

The problem is, many people are just fine doing it because they want to play a large enough game. Which again is my point. In reality most users would likely download a Facebook apps store if it was required to use Facebook, same for Twitter, TikTok, and whatever other thing that people are addicted to on their phones.

That is my problem here and why comparing it to the situation with gaming is a good example. I should not loose the CHOICE to use an app from the App Store that I already use, because a developer is making their choice to push their own store.

That is the situation we are looking at here, that to use the apps I want to use I have to use those stores. Which is ridiculous, and it is naive to think it isn't going to happen when it is the state of gaming right now.

> If you take the EU iOS market share of 33.3% and the number of EU citizens (448 million), you get ~150 million

That seems way too low out of 2 billion devices as per Apple to cause any splintering of iOS, it seems to be.

Devs will be targeting the lowest common denominator and also iOS usually goes as the US goes, so other than the EU getting a couple of neat alternative apps - this won’t amount to much in the grand scheme.
IMHO it seems like it's there only to enforce that "Core Technology Fee" and even then I don't buy that argument. Malware already slips through Apple's "strict" App Store review process.
The problem is right there in the article--incentives. There are no consequences for lying, for telling obvious untruths. No one is embarrassed or ashamed of being a liar. You just have to keep doubling down forever, and even in the face of overwhelming facts, keep throwing out moronic defense after moronic defense. Keep your mob angry and their minds completely closed. Make sure to do some extra projection; accuse others of that which you are guilty. Then in all the finger-pointing no one will ever figure out the truth. In all of these activities, lies are your friend and your reward. Local incentives. Bastards will just keep lying because it's the best strategy for them.

Until there are abrupt and justified consequences for lies and liars, we will swim in them like a flood.
> If "I" is just a retroactively written story, then what? Does it mean "I" is not real?

It depends what you mean by "is real". Of course in some sense it is still real, just like triangles are real. But it's not real in the same sense that rivers or rocks are real.

The relevance in this context is that it gets rid of some privileged position for consciousness. If this explanation I gave were true (I have no reason to believe it is!), then there is no problem in reconciling qualia with materialism. Qualia are just an aspect of the modeled "I", not a raw experience that can't be explained. P-zombies are all that exists.

The only alternative is complete redesign with out-of-process architecture which is not going to be compatible and might be inappropriate in some scenarios.

If it sounds to me like an AI voice, then I start losing interest in whatever content is being presented. I feel like this must be some cheap hack content.

I'm not sure that this is a logical and fair reaction on my part, but it's true nevertheless. Common wisdom seems to be that AI voices will eventually (soon? later today?) become indistinguishable from human voices. I guess we'll see.

One exception could be if, being an AI voice is deliberately integral to the content, or beneficial for aesthetic reasons. For example, a video about, say, future technology that is intentionally using an AI voice for "futuristic" impact.
Also worth noting the commit which introduced this was made 8 years ago so not quite a decade.

The “dudesy” thing is not a real LLM or anything similar. Its just a gimmick for some dumb comedy podcast with Will Sasso. It is very obviously not a real chatbot and is scripted. I am almost 100% certain this is the same thing. One of the comedians in the podcast probably wrote this.
I disagree. Several rules are ambiguous, leaving the judgement to the ref.

If anything, I think that refs need to be enforced more to call games a particular way. The officiating that occurs during the playoffs is much better, and IMO should be done that way during the whole season rather than only the playoffs. Refs let defenders be more physical, they call more rule violations, etc.

I'd fear that an AI ref could possibly lead to even more fouls being called, since a ref could miss things depending on where they are in the floor. More fouls being called would just slow down the game.
MS doesn't "issue" signing keys. MS has a signing key that it uses to sign bootloaders, and which is the default key in every UEFI that wants to be able to boot Windows with Secure Boot enabled. (*)

Their argument is that if they signed a particular distro's GPL-licensed binary, then the user of that binary can ask for the source to be able to regenerate that binary, and that would require the signing key for completeness to be able to boot that binary.

shim is MIT-licensed so that requirement does not apply.

(*) To be precise, the key used to sign Windows and the key used to sign the rest are different, but both are enabled by default. That said, in 2022 there was talk about some UEFIs disabling that latter key by default: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32066919

A large union can advocate for public policy which would benefit its members, and it would have the financial resources to form PACS, run advertisements, support candidates, etc.

A large union can hire lobbyists who can form long-term friendships with powerful politicians, and therefore can explain in a very persuasive manner how proposed legislation or Fed policy is affecting its membership.

Right now we have just about every other interest group doing all those things. And then we wonder why things just keep getting worse and worse for us.

That is likely true and I was in that game for awhile but tired of the effort required and the limited hardware that would be fully functional and reliable as a production device.

Wasn't the concern that they _didn't_ abide by the WSFS constitution?

Right, but WSFS then seemed to loudly proclaim that they have _no ability_ to enforce that each Worldcon obeys the rules? Which, if false, is a lie to avoid accountability, and if true demonstrates a deep level of organization ineptness.

It seems like the WSFS has fallen down either on the enforcement side, or on the contractual relationship with the Worldcoms if enforcement isn't possible.

The reason for this misalignment in my opinion is painfully simple.

Imagine you are making Youtube videos for money. You write a clickbait title. You make a funny face in the thumbnail. You talk about your sponsors. You tell your viewers to like, share on Facebook, and subscribe.

A nerd would hate this. They use an ad-blocker and a browser extension to skip sponsors in Youtube videos. They deleted their Facebook. They might not even have a Google account to subscribe. They think anyone who writes clickbait titles and make funny faces in thumbnails is a moron who makes low quality videos not worth watching.

But the nerd's father, mother, grandma, sister, uncle, wife, and child couldn't care less. They all have Facebook accounts. They get baited by the titles all the time. They feel some deep, irresistible attraction to shocked faces in tiny clickable images. They share their funny videos constantly and shamelessly. And they even watch ads by accident sometimes thinking it's the actual video.

Metrics are a popularity contest and nerds just can't win a popularity contest.

There is just no way to quantify that professionalUnbiased and proHobbyist are better when SEO spam and professionalBiased are getting all the likes, shares, and links. And this is all partly due to the fact that the nerd audience of these first two deliberately wants to be out of the metrics in first place.

By hating and avoiding the modern system so hard, they failed to influence it in their favor.

Now that I think about it, I just realized that if nerds stop using Google because Google results suck, that will make Google suck even more for them because they are no longer influencing Google's algorithms.
Google can be your friend brother (still).
