The education system has been deliberately dumbed down; the press/media his voters watch wouldn't possibly inform them of his mistake, for their own gain; and the social media they engage with reinforces their incorrectly held beliefs. Difficult to blame many people of being ignorant of reality, when the reality they interact with lies to them constantly.
Cory Doctorow's clarification of enshittification as a result of collapsing constraints is worth considering. I'd never before thought of it as an application of the Theory of Constraints.

Also, the "Capitalism v. Capitalism" mentioned--tech monopolies vs. businesses trapped on their platforms--is well-put. It's always been a part of his talks on enshittification, but few seem to hear that part.

I'm way too unfamiliar with Bluesky/Atproto to comment, but I liked the motive he described: "why leave 20 million people at risk of enshittification..."
How much registration is required? I can see this being useful for some things :)

The constitution applies to the government. It establishes the government and defines -- and therefor limits -- what the government is allowed to do.

Corporations are considered "legal persons" for the purpose of applying the law to them in a convenient and organized way, but in real life, corporations are just organizational models employed by human beings for the purpose of coordinating their activities.

The restrictions applicable to what the government is allowed to do to "people" as defined in the constitution apply regardless of what organizational models those people are using to coordinate their activities. Ultimately, everything in society reduces to people, and the government is not entitled to use reified abstractions to escape the constraints on its authority.
Spoiler: no.

Also worth noting that not all raspberry pi's are alike and have different hardware configurations, the pi used is not specified in this article and could have been a first generation model.

Blame can be shared. The OS vendor for providing a way for applications to hide files on the user's filesystem from the user, and the application for using it instead of making the user's documents available to the user. They are both working together in unison against the user.

More social care from family (which is unpaid and thus is hidden in GDP figures)

That's not quite true: Some eSIM profiles can be reinstalled, sometimes only on the same device, sometimes only on a limited number of devices or a limited number of times, but sometimes they're really as versatile as the physical SIMs they're replacing.

It's ultimately up to the provider which model they choose, but I really like the ones that allow both reuse of an existing profile and make it easy and free to provision a new one if required (e.g. due to a lost or broken device).
The unsurprising thing is that people here think that this is left-tech activism. The true cool-aid[1] is this particular tech ideology which is all about “liberty” on the surface but is either agnostic of or embraces privatization.[2] Yeah, unsurprisingly the author explicitly embraces “the tech industry”. It’s just gone wrong or too far. It’s not like the good old privatization in the old days.

Wanting tech companies to be regulated more in this day and age of such extreme tech behemoth domination is left-wing activism in the same sense as (not being a Peter Thiel-style maniac) = left-wing.

> Apple, Nvidia, Intel.

Not sure they are great examples. Intel is going through a lot of pain now (but it's been very successful in the past). Apple was in a terrible situation before its reverse acquisition by NeXT (NeXT paid one Steve Jobs for all of Apple and got $400 million in change). Nvidia got insanely lucky with Bitcoin, then with AI. Its original plan was to make 3D accelerators for gamers and, maybe, engineering workstations.

All of them were a couple wrong decisions away from doom multiple times.

Think Commodore, who made one of the most popular computers ever, only to be mismanaged into the ground.
That. However that works just fine for ICBMs and the like…

The future is more likely to be quantum accelerometers and quantum gyroscopes, as they have no “external dependency”.

> How does that knowledge have anything to do with their work lives? Does your boss jump in the middle of your TPS reports in Jira and ask you to point Africa on the map within 3 seconds without using your phone or you're fired?

Yeah I mean if your entire existence revolves around your job and what your boss thinks of you we're in for a weird discussion... Life has more to offer than 50 year of work and 15 years of retirement. What a strange and sad way to envision life. Cultivating your mind and knowledge, as well as your body, should be way up in the list of things we have to focus on, you might want to check the etymology (if you know what that means, it's not a very useful term in the workplace) of "education"

> Now you can be a car owner without knowing how to change the oil or how a clutch works. That was not the case 50 or so years ago.

Nice, that's definitely what we want, monkeys pushing buttons without any ideas of what's going on under the hood. Why would you want to know why the earth is round, what gravity is, why braking distances are longer in rain, how ABS works, what is engine braking, why you can't stomp on the brakes for 30min straight while driving down a mountain road, ... People smoke their clutches all the time, run on bald tires, use summer tires in winter, pour oil in their coolant tank.

What's the point of being ultra specialised in a niche field, or even worse, profession, if you're a complete dummy in life

edit: and also, most people aren't even specialised, so now you get the worst of both world
There's some truth to that, but I'm not sold it's universally the case (or needs to be).

Speaking for myself, I pushed those minor updates - with lots of little feature enhancements - as soon as they were ready (sometimes mere days after being envisioned/suggested). The major upgrades generally included stuff reliant on larger overhaul efforts or new foundations. I wouldn't typically hold anything back artificially. My team was small (for a good portion of time solo) and our efforts were focused, which probably helped.

On the other hand, I've seen increasing examples in the last decade of meaningless UI changes that trip up the user by moving their cheese (instead of being carefully thought out in the first place), needless bugs introduced with no remorse, and a whole class of "features" there not for the user but instead to serve the interests of the vendor or their data-hoovering partners. (Windows sadly became a great example)

My beef isn't inherent to the subscription model itself, but the shift in revenue structure made it tempting for companies to uncouple development from user wants. Where upgrades used to be forged on the anvil of user acceptance and pitched to our wallets first, they're now shoved down our throats with little choice whether to adopt. (And cloud delivery eliminated the option to stay on that old version you liked better.)

I'm not convinced users jump ship quite so rapidly just to get new features. We saw a big move to mobile even when the apps lacked anywhere near the breadth of their desktop counterparts.

Personally I gravitate toward products which do a good job of solving their primary purpose. As an example, I loved Dropbox for years but plan to migrate away soon because sync got worse and their dev efforts have been focused on all kinds of new fluff I never wanted.

"Not C++ and not cmake" is right on the money. Also Rhai seems to be in its infancy. Despite its current limitations, there's an argument for supporting it early to see where this road will take us. Hopefully to a relatively fast and more feature rich scripting language and engine that fit snuggly into Rust projects, which would be fantastic.

I recently reported a comment on a Meta website that said something along the lines of “[x] CEO needs a Luigi”. It was clearly advocating for a copycat murder of a specific individual. I got a response back saying that it didn’t break any Meta rules. I hit the button to request a re-review. Again, I was told that a person took a second, closer look at it and confirmed that it didn’t break any Meta rules.

If calling for copycat murders is something that Meta explicitly allows on their platform, then I think the EU are right to push them to do better.

The amount of people in this thread who think online video games can be equated to imprisonment or being kicked out of university or other actually-important things is rather shocking.
Just like OAI and copyrighted content. And I would rather my data go to China than the US, personally.
Totally agree. Python's gettext() API feels so ancient because it can only cope with one locale at a time, and it would love to get that locale from an environment variable. Not ideal for writing an HTTP service that sends text based on the Accept-Language header.
We are comparing salaries of Software Engineers between the US and the UK. A Senior Developer position won't pay more than 90K in the UK outside of London. In the US I see well over that for a Senior Developer position.

Even in your examples (which are higher position than what was being discussed) they didn't top out past 90K (just like I said). Whereas in the US you can earn much more quite easily.

distancing oneself
from work (not caring) is a symptom of burnout, symptoms are a coping mechanism but that doesn't mean they're a cure... sure a fever helps fight illness but a caugh might just spread it. Personnally, I can't not care either but i also don't think it is a solution. For me not caring actually makes things worse because it is disempowering.
the amount of random 'stuff' like this that I've accummulated over the years could fill a book that is interesting only to me lol

Are you sure? There's a pretty good overlap these days in globally supported bands on at least a baseline level.

You might not be able to use a provider's extended/rural or dense urban canyon filler cells, but I haven't yet been to a place where I didn't get any roaming connectivity at all.

In some countries (the US included), providers restrict the ability of devices not capable of e.g. VoIP to connect on certain bands (as there is no circuit switched fallback available there, and there's an FCC mandate that calls, in particular 911 calls, have to work wherever data works), but that's usually not applied to inbound roaming guests.
Git autocorrect sounds like a very bad idea.
Yeah, (and I realize this is all based on a half-remebered law) but the OP said the law only obligated the company to support the SW fully "during the licensing period". In my experience, most perpetual licenses come with some initial "support agreement" (2yr, 4yr, etc.). After that, the user can still use the SW, and the company wouldn't be obligated to provide support. So, this law sounds like it's really preventing some a-hole from selling perpetual licenses without any agreed upon garunteed support period (basically taking the money, calling the consumer a 'sucker' and running for the hills)
Well, just notice that this isn't "two playing that game". It's the government explicitly kicking the scammers out of the place and freeing the victims.

The Baumol effect is paying more for the same productivity, which can feel like a disease when you have to pay more and more for the same in some area for services relative to goods to the point where you end up pathologically preferring goods over services.

The JFK-popularized term defending a special interest project trickling down benefits to a wider community isn’t really what it feels like to someone in a coastal US city and who is trying to hire an electrician or baby sitter and finding they are priced out of the market.
Spot colours (normally Pantone references embedded in the file) can be pretty expensive, and obviously scales with the number of colours you spec. The printer needs to either order or mix your inks, then run it thru a single colour print process or something automated like a risograph.

CMYK is ok when printing on white stock and has the benefit of being easy to print. It is washed out on screen, but it can look pretty nice when it has the benefit of light + bright white paper behind it.

Well, good thing that we are slowly moving everything into DP.

But it's a bad thing that it's so slow.
Easy migrations are unheard of. If competition existed, electron apps would never exist.
In the early days of capitalism there was plenty of authentic scarcity for it to work against. Its problems probably weren't any less, but the juice was plausibly worth the squeeze because the alternatives were terrible.

Now, most of us are working to maintain artificial scarcities, rather than mitigate authentic ones, and there are a lot more of us. So the a randomly chosen effect of our system is more likely to be negative because it's being chosen in a context that's very far from that long lost age when capitalism seemed necessary.

I think that's what makes it late-stage, when it's found to have more side-effect than desired effect. Like a yeast which started turning sugar into alcohol at a prodigious rate but then later the alcohol concentration is toxic to it and more effort is spent trying to filter it out than anything to do with its original purpose.
Add sugar to taste, while liquid. IMO you can never add too much vanilla.
Where's the good thing? In making POSIX even more of a joke? In providing low quality "chase this API" target? In enforced obsolescence?

Systemd does not provide stable APIs.
For that, a standarization process is required and has not been followed.
Or at least a conservative approach to API and ABI, like Linux kernel itself has.

The whole thing is following a big ball of mud approach that has previously resulted in Linux distros having up to 5 sound APIs active at the same time.
One of which is Lennart's work and getting obsolesced. (PulseAudio, much better written than systemd, by Pipewire. Because it cannot handle video and realtime.)

To achieve its aims it has to be actually good, well written, have a working minimal core feature set and be version compatible.

So far this has not happened for init.
Double whammy lol
He wouldn't have had to resort to complex modes of influence, that's for sure. It's very scary that we've gotten to the point where people are claiming to "protect democracy" by proposing to allow institutions controlled by incumbent politicians to regulate who is allowed to say what in the lead-up to elections.
Dehumanizing people by calling them "maggots" or other such vermin isn't a good look considering history of the 20th century.
I'm not even sure about that, there isn't even that much unskilled manual labor left.
Worked with ROS in research, industrial, and warehouse spaces for 12 years now, with fleets of hundreds to thousands of robots, tens to hundreds of thousands total worldwide. If there's one thing I could convince people of, it's to never use ROS to communicate between hosts.

If you want to use ROS for IPC on the same host, fine. That can all be debated but okay. But if you want to communicate to different robots, especially over WiFi, ROS is missing most of what you need, and it's things that roboticists do not need to reinvent as the Web has been grappling with these issues for a lot longer by millions of more developers.

- You will have to worry about versioning, either on your terms of when you're inevitably forced to

- Even if you don't plan on operating multiple versions in harmony (years later you'll regret believing you could get away with this), you have to deal with the edge effects of when you upgrade them remotely/on-site.

- ROS API definitions ("ROS Messages") are defincient. Yes, you really need to support `null` but you also need a whole lot more expessiveness in general. You'll invent your own string-but-actually-json message at some point.

- You end up manually dealing with well-trodden problems like compression, authentication, authorization.

- Failed comms, reconnecting, retrying, etc. will be a huge pain.

I think the simplest question to ask yourself/team is: "Could this be an HTTPS API? Could this be a Websocket? Do we even have the correct skills on the team to answer this question or did we only hire ROS people?"
kind of weird question is it cook? does one cook ice cream? always assumed cook implied fire or some sort of heat source
I also despise fakery, but there’s a lot more overall fakery going on here from all sides than you seem to be noticing- and understanding the dynamics of narcissism and emotional manipulation makes it more obvious. People aware of this stuff are impressed by Trumps skill in creating and maintaining false narratives.

They didn't dislike him before 2016 because he was one of them, he went to their parties, donated their favorite people lots of money, and did TV interviews repeating all of their talking points.

Trump is absolutely nothing like Hitler- Hitler was a completely sincere true believer in his cause, solidified his views clearly before he had any fame or power and stuck to them consistently, and was himself willing to die for the cause of blaming all problems on people different than him. Trump switches stories and allegiances like an 8 year old girl trying on princess outfits until one 'clicks' and gets attention- and doesn't care if the one he ends up with is left right or center- he tried them all.

Both your "cheap virtue signalling by the laptop class" and Trump have an identical underlying strategy and postmodern world view that things like integrity, principles, and ideals are for suckers, and the only thing that matters is constructing a narrative that gives you the most power and attention right now: e.g. fakery.

Both are even using the same basic absurd narrative that some evil outgroup that deserves to be dehumanized is causing all of your problems, and supporting authoritarianism with them in power will solve it- just different outgroups but both chosen strategically by the same process.

There hasn't been any president during my lifetime that didn't have narcissistic personality traits and strategies, but I am not 100% sure all of them definitely had full blown NPD, I'm not a psychiatrist. It's a disability than harms the person affected more than anyone else- people with it are very alone as they make no real friendships or connections with people, and are not capable of improving their life through self reflection and self criticism. They can be very successful but won't ever enjoy it- they will still just be terrified and anxious about their facade collapsing. It is a disorder where fakery is the very core of every action.
