The popularity of Luigi Mangione might be a (arguably sickening) sign that the pitchforks are coming (and, remember, it's always very presumptuous to assume you will be on the right side of the pitchforks.)

But also, if history is to be followed, some form of self correction is always possible.

It's going to be popular to run on a "tax the ultra-ultra-rich" platform. The trick is to be very careful on every other topic, to avoid being trapped in culture war.
Basically, someone might run on the single issue of "tax the right", and strive to avoid anything radical on every hot-button subject (as in, be extremely centrist and borderline conservative on gender, immigration, culture, free speech, etc....). When in doubt, shut up and remind everyone you're going to tax the ultra-ultra-ultra rich, purely appealing to the inner sense of justice.

This would work better in countries where the press is not too concentrated. And I am actually curious to see how social media would handle that (it would create engagement, so maybe the merely ultra-ultra rich would play along ?)

Careful what you wish for - it took us a century to get to a stable place.
Jailed might be OK for the general audience vs technical people but does it come with a package manager that lets you install things such as OpenSSH, assorted open source VPN daemons, email clients, etc... or do such things have to be shimmed in or run from /home or break OS updates? Or do such things have to be purchased or installed through an app store like on cell phones? If so it may still be usable. I rebooted a telco mainframe switch using Telnet from a Nokia 9000 back in the day whilst on call.

That's the part that really confuses me. Somebody already did pay for translation from Japanese to English subtitles, then for a voice cast to dub the anime. The original subtitles are nowhere to be found; the closed captions are based on the English language dub.

> Are TVs really 90% cheaper since 2020 than they were in 2000? The product seems to me to be one of those that always costs the same, you just get more for a similar amount of money as time progresses (like laptops).

Yes, unambiguously so. In the early 2000s, a high definition 38 inch TV cost three thousand dollars (https://archive.org/details/Circuit-City-Ad-2001-04-29/page/...), and "high definition" then would have meant 1080i if not 720p.
ProTip: If you download Prime video content and then watch it downloaded, it doesn't have commercials. Not sure if you can do that on their TVs, but seems to work fine on my Android phone and Fire tablet.

Note: I haven't tried it for ~3 months, I just stopped watching Prime content. With as easy as this is, it's easier to use other providers that don't do this, and their user experience was already pretty bad. Searching through for something to watch and then finding I have to pay $15 to watch it is so annoying.

Poland is a wrong example, it had almost 30 years on uninterrupted growth and has better infrastructure and services than the nearby Germany.

Trains are cheaper, better run and more comfortable. Highways are better than German. Even gas stations. I often find myself waiting to cross the border so I can get to the loo in the first Orlen on the Polish side.

And don't let me start on housing and taxes.

Polish economy even benefitted from the Russo-Ukrainian war:

1. 36 mln-strong Poland welcomed 1mln of mostly well-educated, hardworking Ukrainians.

2. Its military expenses are now double what the US spends in relative terms, giving a non-negligible boost to civil economy.

As a Romanian, I'm so sick of AI translations on YouTube, especially since they use Google's translation (OpenAI's at least works quite well). Here's an example (translated back to English):

> Man Builds Background of Tan for Swedish House

It's completely puzzling. To understand it you have to know both English and Romanian. "Background of tan" is the term for "foundation" (makeup) in Romanian. That is, "foundation" has two meanings in English: for a house and for makeup, but Google uses the wrong one.

Automatic translation is full of these bad associations. I have no idea how people who don't speak English understand these translations.
If Valve went for the corporate market, then, maybe, yes, but I think MSFT has always made most of its OS money on corporate stuff (home users often use Windows, because that's what they work with).

Gaming isn't really a thing, with corporate use.

I use a Mac. Macs are some of the worst gaming platforms on Earth. If I'm lucky enough to get an AAA game, it's seven years behind its PC version, and a huge bug farm.

SteamOS might actually get me to consider a console, but gaming hasn't ever really been a priority for me (obv.).
> Like many OSS products, it looks and feels like product made by techies for techies.

That's not the problem. mpv is another media player that is arguably even more "made by techies for techies", yet it doesn't have the usability issues of VLC, and is a much more robust piece of software.

VLC is just poorly designed from the ground up, and the project's priorities are all over the place, as this AI initiative demonstrates.

Automation I suppose. I only run Sonarr/Radarr, so two additional services. They both work exactly the same, so it's basically "configure once, run twice".

I eventually ran out of patience to find the right releases and what not, and now enjoy a life where I can just input the title, then return one hour later to everything setup for me. Any new episodes/movies will just be available automatically in Jellyfin next time I open it up on the TV.

If you were to build it yourself, you can find passively cooled N100 Mini ITX motherboards (I own an Asus N100 Prime) which you can fit with a pico ATX PSU or HDPlex PSU. Pair with a SFF case, you could get it around the size of a mac mini without the brick. Maybe something like a skyreach case.

So a layman like me finds it instinctively dumb for the following reasons.

If I watch the hundred meter sprint, I kind of get it. They're aiming to run super fast. It's a relatable activity. See it in the movies. Would do it if a dog is chasing you. Swimming - crocodile chasing you.

Javelin, they're chucking a spear really far - not so useful now, but I get it. People used to do that to fight or hunt.

Others, like pole vault or weight lifting or gymnastics etc, have spectacle appeal.

Now we come to fencing. I see two guys with what look somewhat like swords. A bit floppier, but I get they're not going to a real sword. They face off apart from each other. They look poised.

All of this, so far, is not dumb. I get this. This is mimicking a sword fight. Like boxing is mimicking a fist fight. I feel suspense. I am ready to see this fight play out.

Then they rush into each other and stab and get stabbed as if the swords were pool noodles.

This is now clearly a dumb activity with no real world parallel, and there's also no spectacle since they're just poking or slapping each other with floppy little sticks. Not so entertaining.

Basically, unlike say boxing, there's a distinct lack of hurt. Fight sports must include hurt of some kind to not appear dumb.

My opinion is this could be rectified quite simply - raise the costs of getting hit, until the fight looks real. If a stab to the torso meant you're out of the competition, even if you stab them first, the whole thing would adjust immediately to stop looking dumb.

So they could restructure the point system until the behaviour of the contestants was clearly trying
to avoid getting stabbed (as if that were actually painful or deadly) while trying to stab the other person.

More substantial swords that spectators can actually see would help too. Make the saber actually a saber.
Using the articles definition of a rave, essentially just a nightclub; a lot of them around me have been shutting down due to violence and the governments response to it. 10 years ago, my city used to have a thriving downtown / bar / club scene; driven primarily by university students.

In recent years, the homeless situation has spiked with dozens and dozens of aggressive, clearly mentally unstable individuals at various locations in the area. On top of that, the clientele has changed as the university students choose to stay closer to campus has their local offerings have expanded. This new group of patrons has brought violence with shootings and assaults happening now that never happened before.

The city government has responded by capping alcohol sales at midnight and requiring any bars that stay open later to provide and pay for onsite security. This extra cost has essentially crippled the club / bar scene with many of them going out of business.

Wonder if anything similar is happening in other cities, with nightclubs bearing the brunt of the costs for increasing violence in their area.

He proposes that there is a need for a way to connect modules, i.e. dependency injection, without the modules having explicit knowledge of each other, with compile-time verification that the modules being connected are compatible, without the interface song and dance.

I read all the same articles word for word in 2013 when SteamOS first launched. Yes more games are playable on Linux today because of Proton, but everything else is still a mess. You still can't stream video >720p from any major streaming service, for example. I don't see people rushing to put SteamOS on their PCs or entertainment centers while these basic gaps still exist.
It wouldn't, but could do as a result of a bug that has nothing to do with trying to force you to listen to adverts. My Apple TV box, AVR and TV between them sometimes seem to get into a state where the sound is muted and whenever I unmute it, it unmutes and immediately mutes again. I have to reboot the Apple TV box to get the sound to stay on again. So this sort of thing does happen.
It's been solid for me on the Pi 5.
No, the premise is wrong.

> That could threaten Microsoft's hold on PC gaming

Sure. But so what. PC gaming is a very small market that Microsoft don't actually care much about. Well, they have a Windows store that sells games, a Windows xbox app and PC game pass, and they put a bit of effort here and there, but not really. Microsoft doesn't really care about your Windows license key either. They could have made pirating much harder, but the fact that you can find Windows activator on their own GitHub says that Microsoft thinks it's a waste of time to do anything about it.

(In fact, Windows license is free on handheld gaming devices. So Microsoft doesn't earn any money anyway. https://windowsreport.com/windows-10-9-remains-free-oems-ann...)

Most of Windows installations come from OEM and enterprises. Everything else is a marginal error. They also can't sell (much) more licenses just as they want, because pretty much it's tied to PC sales that's more about whether people are buying devices.

Which is why they are stuffing ads everywhere in Windows. It sucks for users, but is a good (short sighted) business strategy -- you can only earn so much money from license, but you can earn infinite money from ads.

Seems hard for people to understand this.

If my utility company wanted to install solar on my roof with their own funds and give me some energy for free in exchange, I'd support that.

But installing solar on your own roof with your own funds, and then giving the energy away for free to a for-profit corporation? How does that make any financial sense?
If it's literally "a few times", maybe not. If it went on for several minutes, and you weren't obviously looking for a space to park, it wouldn't surprise me. Any 'unusual' behaviour in a car is a potential cause for being pulled over.
Yeah, I definitely wish other media would experiment with Youtube-style word-at-a-time subtitles. They often feel a lot more natural than full-sentence subtitles, the way they stream in is better at providing "connecting tissue", they never spoil upcoming reveals the way subtitles tend to, etc.

(By "connecting tissue", I mean they don't have the problem where sentence A is "I like chocolate", sentence B is "only on special occasions", and at the time B appears A is completely gone, but you really need A and B to be onscreen at the same time to parse the full meaning intuitively.)
I remember Pall Mall and L&M as the cheaper brands. Maybe they weren’t in your area?
How so? Because younger kids are using more macs and will want to take that into the workplace? Microsoft has the enterprise virtually locked up still. I don’t see most companies offering macbooks as an option.

Linux though? My former university uses it as their desktop OS on all machines.

I really do think Linux is the threat, not apple.
At this point, stop encouraging people to vote. It doesn't seem to work in the US anymore, if the current state of matters is anything to go by. It's almost like encouraging the Thomas Matthew Crooks and the Luigi Mangione types to deal with the problems right at the root would be a better way to go.

You need to take the money out of politics, and advertising out of, well, everything. If not, things will just continue to get worse and worse.

There's no way that's what RPI are paying, or even close - it should be somewhere around $7 or so for a 4GB part, $3.60-4 for a 2GB part.

If we use your prices above just as a "scale" then you can already see here that 1X 4GB part is cheaper per GB than 2GB, so as I say it's around $3 in cost to upgrade the base model from 2>4GB.

New DC Think Tank Staffed by Robots
PC gaming is one of the few places left that Windows has any relevance, without that there very few reasons to continue running Windows.

Sales volumes for general purpose PCs (used by people other than gaming and developers) have been declining for years.

If you don't need Windows to game... and you don't need Windows to run office anymore (office 365).. then the only real reason to run windows would be to run VisualStudio and other legacy dev tools?

Linux is looking more and more attractive to the power user base.

I'm a power user that games... so Windows it is. For now. The moment I don't need Windows to game, and Wine can run all my legacy apps, then I'm jumping ship to Linux.

Consumers have moved on and all that's left in terms of volume are businesses that need a stock general purpose desktop -- legacy lives on for a while but not forever.

This might be the beginning of the end for Windows -- I'm speaking in terms of product lifecycle.
Or maybe until you turn it off and on again.
Very much agreed with SteamOS possibly occupying a lot of gaming PC market share in the not-too-distant future (though not sure if Microsoft cares/should care too much about that).

However, I expect that this process will still take a while. Proton seems to be working well esp. for single-player games (haven't tried it yet though), but it seems like

- DLSS-like features still have some way to go,

- and a lot of multiplayer games require kernel-level anti-cheat which is often developed for windows only.

Those two are I believe the only remaining blockers for me.

But that's a chicken-and-egg problem, same as native (non-proton) support for games on Linux. Once SteamOS is big enough, I expect those to quickly follow.

> But for example you'd want the English "so so" to be translated in Spanish as "más o menos" instead of doubling down on whatever literal translation for "so" they choose.

Agree, but I don't think those are "cultural translations" but more like "idioms translations", which mostly makes sense to do.

What I originally wrote about are things like Family Guy original voice-overs + subtitles making a joke about some typical father figure in Hollywood for example. Then the Latin Spanish subtitles will have translated that joke but replaced the specific actor with some typical father figure from the Mexican movie industry, while the Castilian subtitles would have replaced it with someone from the Spanish movie industry.
