> What happens if one of the big tech companies makes a mistake and closes your account?

I think most people would be... just fine? Personally I'm from a culture that is very distrusting of those big platforms anyways, so people are even less likely to rely on them. If my mom lost access to her google account she would be fine, my dad wouldn't notice (he has been using his own e-mail domain forever), neither would my brother (since he makes a new google account with every phone anyways, having forgotten his previous password), and I wouldn't be bothered much either. I've also been doing fine professionally for 15 years and don't even have a LinkedIn account.

It's a similar picture for everyone around me. Some Facebook account or whatever may have seemed important when we were 16, but by and large people grow out of that vain phase, or even grow out of using the likes of Facebook at all. Nowadays whatever can deliver a message will do. There's a dozen ways to each anyone.

If losing access to any one account is a big deal for you, that's more than a major technological literacy failure - it's a basic life planning failure. Do not overly rely on a single thing controlled by people you cannot trust. Even my grandmother would know better.
One thing that is quite important to note is that the EGR is a necessary combustion temperature regulator, and removing it isn’t good for anything, including fuel economy. The engine deposits people blame on it is usually from the PCV.

Only downside to it is that it occasionally need to get cleaned, and in tiny cars it tends to be in a stupid position.

Now, DPF and cats are a bit more black and white, but a bit of horsepower for not giving people lung cancer and worsening the whole environmental situation is an easy trade. It’s ridiculous that it’s not federal as is - stuff that harms everyone around you shouldn’t be your decision.

If one doesn’t like these trade-offs, look into technologies that don’t require them like hydrogen or electric. The trade-offs there tends aren’t as controversial, just personal financial ones like range, weight and charge/fuel supply. And they are getting better.

As an aside, looking at how Edison Motors channel (US company trying to make electric trucks) drools over Scania engines, it seems like US truck engines are quite underpowered yet thirsty compared to the EU. :/
it's not a question of "you have to love that", that can be said for anything

it's a question of "grow up and look at reality for what it is"

Last year I crunched my Framework laptop - basically bent the screen and the top shell badly enough that the screen was dead. Luckily I was able to purchase a new top shell and screen for ~$150 and replace it myself! I also popped in another stick of RAM while I had it open.

I am not sure that level of diy servicability is even possible with any other laptop!
ACE 0, iq 125, never qualified as gifted beyond teachers and others saying "you're smart! you just need to apply yourself!"

Talking with wife and mother about my childhood made me understand that I've had untreated adhd (got diagnosed only recently, in my late 30s, now in the process of seeing if I'm also on the autism spectrum).

Life seen from the outside looks fairly okay, educated, employed, wife, kid, 3 homes, 2 cars, no mortgage.

From the inside: depressed and chaotic, self hatred, lethargic, I can't ever remember wanting to be here, and always finding external reasons to stay, first I didn't want my parents to get sad, now I don't want to fail my wife and kid. But so far, this life has been for others, no myself. I'm not suicidal, I just don't find it particularity thrilling to be alive, it seems like a lot of trouble for very little reward.

So in short, I'm not satisfied with my life, and it's not really depending on external factors, just the way my brain is wired.

I remember in particular an episode where I was 5 or 6 years old and I asked my dad, "why are we even alive? what's the point?" he got mad (I concluded at the time, because he didn't know either, but in retrospect, might have been because it might have sounded like a dark or provocative thing to ask for, but it was an honest question).
> People spend hours engaging in “activism” on the internet that feels good inside but accomplishes nothing. The feeling of false accomplishment feeds into the addiction.

Most people accomplish nothing. You go playing basketball with guys after work, you will accomplish nothing with it. You sit and read books, you are accomplishing nothing. You tend to your flowers at home and you are not actually accomplishing all that much.

Insisting on accomplishment all the time just leads to mental health problems.

I moved to a Framework 13 (with Ubuntu) for my personal computer back in January from a Surface Pro (with Windows). I've mostly been happy with it, though, like the author, I'm not doing anything too demanding with it.

My biggest complaints are the battery life and heat, as well as the terrible speakers and webcam. It's also not as easy to travel with as the Surface Pro. Plus the fingerprint reader, although I'm not sure if that's Framework or Ubuntu at fault. But I love that this exists, and I'm overall very happy.

Ist it really? If you would See my uncleaned history, it would take you days to understand what I was even trying to do.

Your statement seems based on the assumption that someone knows how to achieve a particular thing right from the start. But that isn't always the case and there might be a lot of different approaches until the correct or best one is found.

Do you really want to review dead code that's somewhere in the commits of a feature branch?
Honestly I never met Jimmy even though I was in his studio for two weeks working on the video. I did meet a ton of his employees, many of whom I'd gladly work with again, just not on a MrBeast production.

I just can't speak to Jimmy Donaldson himself. Not even sure how much he's involved in the day to day at the company (outside of being the public face).

There is no technical improvement of V3. It is simply about shifting common capabilities of browsers away from you (aka the security threat) towards Google (that is an ultra safe ad supplier).

And this is part of it. Maybe releasing manifest v4 with prominent forks would lessen this purely marketing move by Google.

> Of course I am restricting it to native Linux games,

And of course that's completely arbitrary.

> the others are Windows games, developed and sold for Windows customers, that happen to be running on Linux thanks to Proton.

And so what?

> One could be running a VM of some sort for exactly the same purpose.

Except it keeps you monitored by Microsoft abusive telemetry, need much more RAM than what you'd normally need, and requires a Windows license. Dual-booting was the convenient way of doing this before proton came out, not VM. And proton made dual boot obsolete, which is a very good deal given that Microsoft regularly messes with it…

> To the point that studios with Android NDK versions don't even bother to have them on GNU/Linux.

Games developed for Android are made for touchscreens, so it's not like porting is easy.

And again, nobody is ever going to develop games for a platform that barely even exists as a gaming platform. Valve makes the platform exists at all, which is a big deal. But until market share hasn't reached something like 20% at least, nobody will bother developing games for it.

MacOS still isn't a serious gaming platform despite its huge market share compared to Linux, it's ridiculous to expect Linux to ever become one with native Linux games.

For $reasons my son has been gaming on my PC for the last month or so. First on Debian, now on Bazzite (I installed it out of curiosity, will probably revert back to Debian as I saw no advantage).

Last night he wanted to play a game that doesn't run on Linux because of its anti-cheat. I have a Windows 10 partition that hasn't been booted on for months. He went on it and that's when it really hit him how bad and user hostile Windows is. He always knew but it was only after being on Linux full-time for a few weeks and then trying to go back that he actually understood.

> but it deviates from it when it makes sense to do so

I guess it's ok to take liberties when the "official spec" (WHATWG HTML? which version? a W3C snapshot? older redacted W3C spec? or even MDN as the author is saying elsewhere?) has evolved over the course of ten or more years, but the base and where the model deviates should be documented, shouldn't it?

Doing so might also help with the issues found when this was first discussed [1], such as the bogus hgroup deprecation and possibly related h1-h6 end-element tags. For context, hgroup is not WHATWG-deprecated even though it was never part of W3C HTML until 2021 and marked deprecated according to the author's consulted MDN reference (which is not canonical). What has changed (in a backward-incompatible way!) is its content model due to its role changing from providing a mechanism to prevent HTML outlining in ToC/navigational content as outlining has been removed alltogether.

See the details in [3], and you can use the referenced SGML DTD grammar for checking against that particular (arguably bogus and not anymore deserving of the "HTML 5" moniker) HTML version/snapshot, as well as earlier WHATWG and W3C HTML snapshots/recommendations.

> There's also an even bigger problem that can arise, the distribution can just end, such as the termination of CentOS

If you are doing something serious you probably want to chose suppliers in such a way that you can demonstrate you have security and business continuity under control. That means you probably want to use RHEL, Suse or Ubuntu, distributions for which commercial support exists.

(Ubuntu is particularly interesting because you can start with an LTS release for free and activate commercial support if business goes well, without changing your processes.)

You can think about this beforehand or wait until customers require some kind of certification and the auditors ask you for your suppliers list + the business continuity plan, among other things. You will face this if you deliver to a regulated market or if your customers are large enough to self regulate this kind of thing.

LTS not good enough? Well, cloud native does not have LTS comittement and Pipy does not provide security fixes separated from logical changes.

Try to keep your Terraform code stable for two years in AWS, or try to understand the lifecycle of AWS Glue versions from the docs. Or trust that Google will not discontinue their offers :-)

I mean, maintaining software is never easy or effortless but I respect the effort done by LTS Linux providers - they sell stability and security for a fraction of what you pay for cloud native.
Ethics is no binary. You ethics are not mine and everybody does questionable actions from time to time. A company is an entity with potentially thousands people, one of them doing questionable things will happen.

Some legal entities are acting all the time in a way we would lock them up in psych ward if they were a natural person. That might be a good way to "succeed" but that's probably something the society shouldn't promote/foster.

In the real world it's not only revenue and profits. That's for sure taking most of the space but people behind the entities are caring about other stuff and takes non-profit-optimal decisions all the time.
Depending on the model, Thinkpads come in fairly close to Frameworks.

In general you have not been the only one, but I don't see many difficulties in that post.

The OP wrote that «unsubstantiated» accusations are sufficient for some police forces to take an abusive stance forgetful of the principle of general cautiousness, of "innocent until proven".

I replied that the neglect of Presumption of Innocence can not only be seen in the attitude of some police forces, but in chunks of society, such as enterprises - notably, in some systems firms will openly fire people hit by accusations of the class "Tom says that Dick" (which entails, "of thin grounds").

Now, given that anybody could be randomly accused, and given other logical collaterals such as involving the principle of reciprocity ("the employer discharging the accused could be next"), that "practice" is especially barbaric - those who employ it paint themselves in a most vile coat. And given the absurdity of the practice from points of view of reason, I suggested that speaking of "two-digits IQ" for lurking social phenomena like this one may not be enough.

ACE 7. I feel good about some parts of my life, but mostly I hate it. I miss human connection deeply, but I don't see any path to having it in my life after my relationship of a year ended. I feel disconnected from my upbringing and like I don't know how to function as a white collar worker, and I constantly feel like I don't deserve what I have now as an engineer. I love my cat and my family though, and doing computer graphics for a living is a dream come true in a lot of ways.
I totally agree with you!
There are so many layers we could optimize, with various level of difficulty and return in term of cost and co2 reduction.

Legacy tech stack are especially wasteful: HW + OS + App running 24/7 regardless if it used or not.

My intuition is that AWS claims they can reduce CO2 emissions from your onprem stack by 80% because *IF* it was rewritten into a serverless app, it would consume energy only when it runs.

That's one big if!

I agree that data much older than a year is less useful, but to me, historical data going back about a year is quite useful. The main time that my records are practically useful is when I need to file a tax return, which obviously requires a year's worth of data. Beyond that, I find it quite useful to track changes in spending, earning and investments over time.
Honestly to this day, I don't know what he did wrong, it seems like a concerted effort to take him down and/or grifters want to profit from his downfall by 'exposing' him.

The allegiations seems to have been:

- His shows are scripted to varying degrees - I think this should be obvious to anyone old enough to not think santa's real.

- Some of his friends/production staff did some bad stuff (I won't elaborate). These people are not MrBeast, but sovereign individuals. Production staff in the movie industry rotates at a weekly rate.

- His productions are a shitshow, with tons of stress overtime, last minute heroic saves etc. - If you've read/watched anything Adam Savage has written, you'll realise unfortunately the entire film industry is like this, with everything being on a tight timeline. Practical sets often can be set up once and get destroyed during filming. If somebody messes up, it's often weeks of work and millions of dollars down the drain.

ACE 10, currently in my late 30s. Severe clinical depression and anxiety throughout life, many associated issues around that. Psychopath father, borderline mother. Alcohol and drug issues. Siblings have not fared well and have life outcomes that follow what you would expect. These sort of experiences destroy lives before they begin.

Have faced serious issues with dissociation, and have complex PTSD. Still working on it, it's not a smooth ride but have made progress. Had a lot of issues to work on and have changed significantly over the years. There have been highs and lows.

I've managed to have some success with relationships and life goals in spite of it. With the right support, time, and considerable effort things are improving.

I think a lot of people here have similar experiences. Intelligence is a protective factor that gives you the ability to skip your life script, but it's a difficult journey. The only people I know who suffered severe childhood trauma and recovered are above average intelligence.

Autism, ADHD, and a staggering range of other mental and physical issues have causal links with childhood trauma. For many kids, a diagnosis of ADHD is a nice way of saying "your home environment is abusive and illegal, but saying that is problematic. You live in a hellhole and for some reason can't pay attention. Here's a pill."

It aligns, because 95th percentile isn't that good. It's right there in the title.

Exceptional, outsized, market-beating results often only happen once you crack the one-in-a-thousand levels of effort, talent, etc.

The combination of two things both at 95th percentile is one way you can get there, but - obviously - staying at that level at multiple, mutually-reinforcing fronts simultaneously is harder than staying there for just one skill.
The version of Ethereum after the hack became known as Ethereum Classic. The Ethereum foundation decided to go with a fork of the chain prior to the hack, and pretty much all the devs and the community followed. The value of Ethereum is entirely derived from what people are willing to pay for it, and community is a big part of that. The version of Ethereum which underwent the attack didn't cease to exist, and people can still use it; it's just called "Ethereum classic" now, whereas people who want to use the version of the chain that didn't suffer from the hack can use that version (generally understood to be "Ethereum".

The fact that there are far fewer users of Ethereum Classic (and the market cap is significantly lower) is a testament to how much people care about the community which chose to follow a different history of the Ethereum network.

It's not just urban areas. It is a scourge that plagues literally every corner of the world. There is nowhere in the city, the suburbs, small towns, or the middle of nowhere where you aren't subject to industrial levels of noise pollution generated by motor vehicles that have been intentionally and illegally modified to make as much noise as possible.

It used to just be motorcycles and sports cars. But it's now the most basic pickup trucks, family sedans, SUVs, and anything else that explodes fuel to move.

The total and complete lack of enforcement of existing noise pollution laws is the number one cause of the spread of this.
