> Apple seems determined to serve this up as kid gloves experience vs a general purpose computing device with direct access to a real file system and ultimately a shell prompt

I think the idea of a general purpose OS without a company involved in deciding whether you are allowed to run programs or not is a thing of the past. If Apple and Microsoft could go back in time and change macOS and Windows to be like iOS where everything has to be approved and signed by Apple they almost certainly would. The only reason they haven't already (IMO) is that people are already used to those platforms being open, and there would be too much outcry to change it. Even then, they are certainly trying to chip away at it...

Think how much money would be collected if these companies got to extract 30% of every transaction carried out on every PC in the world. I'm sure they (plus Google) are busy trying to figure out if they can bring the "Apple Tax" concept to the web as well.
Ok, so maybe LEGO is becoming more like Apple. Apple is going against general purpose computing, and LEGO is now going against general purpose construction.
True.

However, if the EU is silent because it considers Apple's reaction acceptable, the new laws are meaningless, unnecessary, a total waste of time, and an embarrassment to the EU.

So my hope is that they realize this and the silence is due to the EU preparing to put Apple in its place.
t2.micro AWS instance + irssi and tmux. Problem solved.
Indeed, it may be the case that now is far cheaper than any time in the past, even taking into account co2 release in the past 40 years.
> the boss had the temerity to imply I had something to do with it.

What was your response? I feel like mine would be "you are now accusing me of a severe crime, all further correspondence will be through my lawyer, good luck".
Sure some of the CSA's panic a bit, but I've never had one not go along especially after explaining my purpose. I've not seen too many compromises, but some of them were not public. Especially with small businesses like a car dealership, they may never know themselves.
I'm not apologizing for abuses of power, I want police accountability.

What are you doing to actually improve these corrupt systems? Calling people names is not bringing the world closer to justice. I think it does the opposite, which is why I continue to debate you.
Did you happen to buy an apple vision headset?
One place I worked did a backup power test and when they came back from the diesels to the grid the entire datacentre lost power due to a software bug for about 10 seconds. It caused a massive outage.

The problem was a lot of the machines pulled their OS image from central storage servers and there was no where near enough IO to load everything and they had to prioritise what to bring up first to lighten the load and stop everything thrashing. It was a complete nightmare even though the front end to take sales were well isolated from the backend. Working out what was most important across an entire corporation took as long as the problem resolving slowly by just bringing things up randomly.

Nowadays you would just run multiple datacentres or cloud HA and we have SSDs but I just can't see such an architecture understanding being possible for any reasonably large company. The cost of keeping it and the dependencies up to date would be huge and it would always be out of date. More documentation isn't the solution, its to have multiple sites.
A source of truth should only be changed based on a deliberate controlled action. Your VM shouldn’t be changing IPs, if “somebody” changes it you have a chaotic network and you just want a network discovery tool.

The change to the VM’s IP should be done through an auditable change process (like a pull request). If the VM doesn’t match the source of truth, the VM is wrong, not the source of truth.

That PR process would also update your telegraf plugins to ensure that the new IP is being monitored etc.

Net is won’t change the process, your automation (an ansible playbook perhaps) would do the change based on the information in the source of truth

Now it’s possible you only have a couple dozen hosts and a handful of networks and thus your source of truth could be an inventory file, that’s a reasonable solution. When you have dozens or hundreds of switches and hosts in the thousands or more range, I would prefer to have a UI wrapped around that file though, with various links between different locations, switch ports, MDU outputs, etc, that’s where netbox comes in. Your grafana dashboard can take the physical location and tie in with your various monitoring (host and environment) to identify a problem in a specific part of your data centre quickly and reliably, as netbix knows what rack the host is in, what switch it’s connected to, etc
I journal either on the PC (Scrivener) or on a notebook. I have tried audio but it is difficult to access "that one thing you said about that topic and you want to review it". Unless the messages are 30sec long, it would be annoying to track it.

Scrivener (no affiliation) is a word processing SW for writers. So I am writing the book of my life (chapters, etc.)(imagine OneNote enhanced for writing books).

You can create a 2030-01-01 Chapter (folder) and drop notes into that about changing your investment risk, etc. I guess you could leave a note to your own Calendar, but when I use Scrivener I flow better - I guess it's the UI that makes the difference.
It's a huge shame! I try not to use the anyone-who-disagrees argument but I genuinely think that anyone who disagrees lacks imagination. We have been robbed of so many possibilities!
I've been using ZNC for several years now. It definitely feels a little janky and weird to set up, but once it's working it's virtually maintenance-free. I run it on a cheap Debian VPS at Hetzner.
Assuming that the article accurately reports the facts (I have my doubts) and these unnamed toothbrushes were used in DDoS attacks, it seems like the obvious deterrent would be for the harmed party to sue for damages. That seems like it work to deter companies from making internet connected when they aren't really needed.
Ford F-150 production shutdown in January temporarily laid off 9,700 UAW workers
The problem is while credit card processors want 2-4% with a minimum, Apple and Google would want 30% - their App Store rates. So expecting Apple to do it is a nonstarter.
They already have.

The easiest way for me to buy something from any stripe or Shopify website (when on an Apple device) is to use Apple Pay.
Might get downvoted but I agree; truly weed has changed, even just CBD. Now it is bad vibes only. Oh well, alcohol is still there I guess.

So there are people out there, not in this thread, who are wrong when they say things that are incorrect?
The EU proposes slashing pollution 90 percent by 2040
> time has already run out, and it's too late to prevent the terrible consequences.

Climate change is not a binary. We can choose how many terrible consequences it will have. It'll never be too late to prevent some terrible consequences.
It's not a matter of if they get paid, it's the unfair advantage this gives in an already competitive market. 2/3 of these properties are probably rented out at inflated prices and the two probably pay the mortgage of the third owners live in. This is a free money glitch, aka fraud.
FWIW: per SF's statistics, both violent and property crime rates are at 10+ year lows in every category:

https://sfgov.org/scorecards/public-safety/violent-crime-rat...

I'm not how you get a "both sides" argument from that data, but OK. We're in the same phase of this debate that we are with inflation: there was a burst of signal, driven largely by the pandemic and related causes, it receeded, but argumentation is still informed by feelings and not current state.

(Edit: and the amount of argumentation below trying to refute this one link WITHOUT ALTERNATIVE SUPPORTING EVIDENCE is pretty much proof that this isn't a fight about facts.)
Grew up in SE PA, i've heard it called old german or high german but I don't know what that means. PA Dutch is just an americanization
Even if everyone in your city stopped doing $whatever you're taking issue with, the climate will not be impacted.

Climate change is a global problem, nothing besides global regulation that's actually enforced will have a meaningful impact. It's just too profitable to ignore climate impact for this to change.

What you're doing is just lying to yourself if you honestly think your actions (even if aggregated to hundreds of thousands of people doing the same), will be a meaningful contribution on the issue.

And just to be clear, pollution is another story entirely. That's primarily a local issue and can be significantly improved (not solved!) through personal responsibility.
I still don't know what this supposed burden is [0] ... you pick an instance (is that actually hard?) ... done.

[0] migration is a challenge if your instance vanishes without warning, but that's true of Bsky too.
What do you mean it's literally impossible to report robberies to the police?
If you build your dockerfile with earthly, we have a -i flag that will pop you into a shell on a failure, and we are using buildkit, so it's totally possible.
Please correct me if I'm wrong here (I've been out of the crypto game for a couple years), but I don't think crypto holds up here. The nature of transaction fees with crypto is they scale exponentially with demand. Monero fees are low because volume is low. Bitcoin fees are high ($9.97 was the average transaction fee yesterday!) because volume is high.

Any fully decentralized crypto at the scale of use that the Web Monetization API would need would have enormous tx prices. There are ways to scale this, ie the lightning network, but those are essentially centralized solutions to scale.
A side benefit of ZNC is that it makes setup on a new machine easy. I don't want to have to remember how to set up CertFP for OFTC, and with ZNC I don't need to.
They speak of the environmental benefits at the start, then finish with an advert for their service to move wine by air — two whole cargo planes most recently.
> most Canadians want a house somewhere in the woods

As opposed to most Americans, at least those that have been in the industry for a decade or more, who would rather be as far from tech as possible, in whatever direction.

Which is often a lie, or at least situational simplification . The costs of climat change and mitigation are not evenly distributed.
> Seriously, is there no room for empathy in all of this ?

Are you joking?

Do you not empathize with the far, far larger number of people who can't afford adequate legal representation and have no legal recourse?

There are people like that out there you know!!!!
The last thing I want to be scared of is a self-driving brush hog.
> Clearly, a world where thousands of tragedies happen every single day is awful.

Here I will take the heartless position and say that it is not clear to me that this statement is true. I certainly agree that it's a tragedy for the people involved. But if 4.4% of children dying before age 15 means that the world is an awful place, at what point would that stop being true? 2.2%? 1E-10%? I don't think the world is an awful place, I think it's a good place, getting better in some ways, with a long way to go in many others.
That's tech bias. The pay for random office jobs or trade jobs are similar.
We considered trying OneMedical, which opened an office close to where we live. But when I looked into it, it seemed like you have to buy a subscription up-front, with no other way to try it out. We might have made the switch by now if they had made it easier to try.
But "without anyone knowing" means privately, and not in public, right?
True, because it's a characteristic of the privileged now. We both seem to agree that these laws are poorly enforced, but I'm saying that a bunch of these laws, whether headlights or tints, are not for safety but a pretext to stop people who weren't in a privileged class.

The whole point of the annual inspection the state makes me get is shit like window tints, and that's where it should be checked. I don't have a ready solution for aftermarket headlights (especially as I support right to repair), but a start would be regulating what the manufacturers do so it's not a safety issue by default.
> Only people who believe that the world should be better, AND that it is possible to make it better expend effort to make it better.

I agree, but saying the world is much better than in the past while it still has all the same basic problems (wars, hunger, preventable diseases, poverty, exploitation, etc) sounds to me just like privileged people patting themselves in the back. In the meantime, children die under bombs and starving.
that's some mind you have

The Pennsylvania Dutch's historic linage is mostly from southern Germany (like Baden-Wuertemberg-ish). Dutch is something of an English language misnomer in this context.
What even is a mainframe, exactly?
This unit, kW/h: It does not mean what you think it means.
Have you personally noticed any downgrade in your experience yet? Each year I waffle back-and-forth about whether the OneMedical membership fee is worth it, but only because I'm pretty healthy and don't get to use it much. Whenever I do, it works great: book an in-person doctor's appointment same-day/next-day in 10 minutes, get seen within 5 minutes of walking in, no need to fill out an in-take form with my complete medical history for the umpteenth time, and prescriptions and follow-up all handled seamlessly on the website.

The Amazon acquisition seemed like the best outcome we could hope for. Experience says it's unrealistic for OneMedical to remain independent forever, and Amazon has much better customer service than almost any other big company with a broad customer base. Insofar as the OneMedical experience was stellar mostly because it was being subsidized with ~$1B in VC/PE money (which is plausible to me), belt tightening was inevitable.
Summary of what was posted earlier:
1) this is just a onerep rebrand.
2) there's this list: https://github.com/yaelwrites/Big-Ass-Data-Broker-Opt-Out-Li...
3) a yn startup called optery is a competitor, kanary is also decent I think. I think the optery founder said 1 common use case is you can sign up for 3 months and then cancel. optery has a 20% coupon for men: ug2jhG1j and this one for women: olCpMjJI or maybe they're vice versa.
The implication is that they do it purely for tax relief and not as an appreciating asset.

If that was the case they would be losing millions each transaction.
No, not all children die while being a child.

Antinatalism (the philosophy that having kids is immoral) has nothing to do with life expectancy.
unfortunately, looks like Monero just crashed from Binance delisting it for security reasons. hopefully it manages to recover.
Given that they literally tell you not to wear the device outside (and that early reviewers showed how it stopped working in a moving car or on a moving train, the device stops displaying content when its accelerometer determines you might become nauseated by outside motion) I don't think this argument holds water.

MacBooks can access an unrestricted amount of porn yet the public doesn't immediately equate computer users -> using porn right now.
Been 4 months and I'm pretty happy with the following setup: PiHole + RaspberryPi + Tailscale

With Pihole running on a tailnet all my devices use it by default as long as they're on the same tailnet. That way I have seamless ad-blocking even when I'm on cellular data or my friends' wifi networks.
Maybe you I and understand the software development process differently.

Supporting one user end to end is a huge milestone and the first step in rolling it out to the other hundreds of millions of users. Especially when Threads isn't a standalone platform but is built on top of Instagram which means we could see it integrated with ActivityPub as well.

The fact that Meta cares about ActivityPub at all is a huge win for open, interoperable standards.
Hoi! It's german, but a more northern dialect (Palatinate): compare https://als.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Houptsyte with https://pdc.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haaptblatt

(note that most L1 speakers of Pennsylvania Dutch have religious reasons not to use the internet, let alone wikis, so I have no idea who contributes to the latter)

If you have blue/yellow tractors in your neighbourhood, see https://pdc.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Holland_Machine_Company

The Amish who originally came from the Bern area eventually (over several generations) wound up in Pennsylvania because they refused military service and hence had to emigrate; I guess they didn't have Zivildienst back then.

Well you can run Hercules, the emulator. But you will then discover that the mainframe 3270 terminal user interface experience is terrible. A funny thing is this: there is a mainframe plug-in for Visual Studio Code. The idea is you do your COBOL development in Code, and only the plugin actually talks to the mainframe.

Russia's Adaptation Advantage
I decided to create artbox.today. It's a high quality library of AI generated visuals and prompts for your projects.

My goal would be to grow the library where it becomes a really useful resource and starting point to builders, creatives and business owners.

In just 1 week we've grown the library to 25 really solid and versatile visuals. I have 20+ in the queue to post in the coming days.

We are on Product Hunt today! Please check it out and I'd love feedback.
Sounds like you should get into running.
I'd like to see more details too, but it's not that extraordinary in my opinion - par for the course for low-cost wifi-enabled appliances.
It sounds like you read a different article than I did. The first line of the article: "The world is awful". Does that sound like people patting themselves on the back?
I was an ircop on efnet for like half my childhood until they figured out I wasn't 18 and desynced my server. I just could never go back to IRC. I stopped using it probably 15 years ago or more after using it for 20ish years. Got my first job on it, learned linux and networking through it, definitely propelled my career.

TOO many bots log entire channels out to public html sites. This is prevalent in everything like discord etc but the degree to it in IRC is just ridiculous god knows what any of those 1500 bots in a channel are doing.

NO features. I'm just over the IRC client and protocol and whatever else. It won't preview gifs, you probably still have to do some xdcc crap to send a file. After using discord and twitch and anything remotely modern it just doesn't allow the same type of conversations, socializing, interactions, but a lot of people do love that about it. I don't include weird irc clients like AcidMAX or whatever would be hip nowadays that probably came from a russian warez group that now has your credit card numbers.

No syncing without running an eggdrop or some tty somewhere running it 24/7. No multi-device support, have to join the server and log in again etc. if it ever restarts or you're somewhere without a shell running it.

Everyone is just bluntly anonymous and you have no privacy outside of priv chans where you know literally everyone.

And being an op the amount of absolutely depraved and creepy stalkery stuff that went on was insane. So many of the few women who identified themselves as women would be harassed and stalked all over irc and sometimes IRL. Lots of glining of creeps.

This was very much an efnet problem with some of the communities it developed. Freenode etc I'm sure iddn't suffer that drama much if any.
It's bizarre that this is an arxiv post instead of a IEEE-style RFC (or an actual RFC, why not). In my experience, the RFC format makes implementation extremely simple - where this comes across as a borderline useless PR stunt. Their official spec is also pretty bad - I remember walking away from it a while back, and a brief skim reminded me why (beyond the style of the document):

> These specifications cover most details as implemented in Bluesky's reference implementation.
tangential to your point, and this seems trite, but the hippies were right after all. People need to imagine again. The ability to see a thing, in your minds eye, from all angles, without it having to be fully formed, without it having to be realized. Once you can imagine again, the future looks bright.
> but that's feeling played out

It gets played out for adults. There’s a new crop of kids every year, and all the time their interests are changing.
Also as a Canadian currently living in an urban area, I want to move to the woods so I have the room to build things and innovate regularly. I don't have enough land for a workshop here. Outside of maybe software that you can pack onto a personal computer, you're not going to be able to do much innovating without much space.
Why wasn't this incorporated by Apple in the original product?
Universities are failing to boost economic growth
It's not that difficult. You just appoint an auditor and make the bank pay progressively higher fines until they figure it out.

American banks learned to be much better at it after 2008. And given 2008 and the MBS balance sheets at central banks and the municipal budgets propped up by property values and national mortgage programs intended to encourage homeownership, this is by no means just a matter between the bank and its clients, even if you put aside the money laundering angle. Mortgage fraud destabilizes economies.

Not sure how anything you've claimed is terrible. Yes to assess language proficiency people are tested both with a written and verbal exam. How is that terrible? What other means of assessing someone's language proficiency do you have in mind that is better than a written and verbal test?

Also your other points all involve breaking the law, which yes someone can absolutely commit a crime to gain an advantage assuming they don't get caught. I'm not sure how you expect any immigration system to operate other than by having rules and if those rules are broken having penalties for breaking them.

The main criticism I have about the U.S. system of immigration, and why I think Canada does it better is that in the U.S. in the majority of cases your immigration status is often tied to a specific job and if you lose that job you're done. I find that rather disgusting to be honest even if it attracts "hustlers" and "bad asses" as you claim.
After Mulally left, Boeing went all in (to an extreme imho) on outsourcing. I don’t know enough to say if he would have done the same. But imho spinning off fundamental items like fuselages is a big source of inefficiency and risk right now for Boeing.
