dude187··on Okta Personal
I mean, it's certainly strange to "love" an IDP. Though I will say, going from a more corporate controlled Azure AD + ping + on prem legacy crap, working somewhere that gets everything funneling through okta has been SO much better
dude187··on They didn’t ask to go viral
Well that's a bit of a chicken and egg. You only get "protection" from accidentally hosting illegal content if you never host any illegal content in the first place?

The idea is that if you have time to shape the slant of your community, you have no excuse for letting illegal content faster

dude187··on When seat belt laws drew fire as a violation of personal freedom
What lesson?
dude187··on When seat belt laws drew fire as a violation of personal freedom
That's a risk for the driver to assume or not assume
dude187··on When seat belt laws drew fire as a violation of personal freedom
Such an argument needs to be rejected though, because it's effectively an open ended mandate to ban all unnecessary activities. "You can't skydive, because that has a risk of death, and therefore your kids might end up on welfare". It's a non sequitur.

Yep, they are by definition. Personally, I'm strongly against a government causing harm to you if you decide differently on what you like to do in such matters
dude187··on They didn’t ask to go viral
No, the government does not create the negative outcome. It is simply an act of removing broad protections granted to a social media company from hosting illegal content. When it's clear that the assumption they have little control over the overall content are not true, because the act to censor to politically slant said content.

The risk comes completely from their members and the ones who may sue them

This is just another admission that your claim has no merit
dude187··on They didn’t ask to go viral
It would be more tactful to just admit you are wrong. Attacking me with strange baseless accusations, based on what I can only assume are my correct positions in previous scientific discussions, is a strange saving face tactic
dude187··on Twitter User Has Music Handle 'Ripped Away'
Wait. So your "evidence" for that claim is the act unbanning a black person and a former president?

You're effectively telling me that the claim is invalid

dude187··on They didn’t ask to go viral
So you're saying there's no examples, meaning that you're actually claiming such subreddits don't exist
dude187··on They didn’t ask to go viral
Any examples of that? That sounds pretty far fetched
dude187··on They didn’t ask to go viral
Yeah, that's the point. Create a negative outcome for companies that perform politically biased censorship, as many do. It gained a ton of popularity during covid because so many were against the government banning public assembly. Yet the only remaining avenues for broad speech censored views that went against the CDC's demands

> chasing black, queer, and other marginalized people off twitter and allowing racists and bigots to take over,

Pretty much every claim you made is misleading or false, but this one is particularly egregious. That never happened, but a lot of people like to repeat the same lies in unison pretending it did

dude187··on Reddit Strike Has Started
Users created, curated, promoted, moderated the entirety of the content for free. Guess that should stop

You forgot the most important part. Who actually created the content?

Why do you capitalize the b but not the w?

dude187··on A Fix-It-Yourself Trend for Appliances (1983)
Good call, I bet using a local number is the reason
dude187··on Ask HN: What is the best source to learn Docker in 2023?
Typically I use a multi stage build so I build the app in one container, and copy the result to a final output container. That keeps the final container clean and lightweight. Pure local development I prefer to do locally outside of any container.

There's certainly patterns you can use to run things like auto compiling code (think angular app in dev server mode) as you save in a container to ensure a consistent dev environment. However, I usually find that you're fighting the operating system and dev tooling on things like volume syncing that makes it not actually a net benefit. Though if I were to tackle getting my 100 devs consistent and I know they all have the same OS layout it probably would be worth it.

The only time I tend to code "in" a container is when it's a very large code base with complicated dev tooling, or tooling I need to containerize to avoid clashing with my OS. In that case I build a "build container" and run it with a volume mount pointing to my working directory, rather than do a docker build. For a large code base, the purist "build with docker" approach requires copying that whole build context each time. Causing the build to take forever and thrash disk space

Well I'm saying it, they shouldn't have that policy in place.

> The number is 800-253-1301, except in Michigan, Alaska and Hawaii, which have separate numbers.

Hawaii makes sense, Alaska... kind of makes sense? But wonder why Michigan had it's own dedicated line

dude187··on Someone stole my car and now I own hundreds of vinyl records
As others have said, it's largely all "junk", at least as far as value per record is concerned. So all they have is some stuff that _might_ have been stolen, with no knowledge of where they came from or who put them there.

So what are they to do? Put a huge stack of records in the evidence locker with no crime actually attached to them (just vicinity to another crime)? Could suck if somehow someone else could identify them and want them that was also a victim of theft, but it really would just be stashing them and hoping by rare chance someone stumbles into the lost and found.

Personally I'd rather the stack of stuff sitting in the guarded, expensive to maintain evidence locker is stuff actually tagged to a crime and relevant to solving it

Can't be open to it "again" if you never stopped...

The public health agencies worked hard to rightfully shatter all trust in them from those who are aware and pay attention
dude187··on The Case for Wearing Masks Forever
Most people still commenting on it in forums disagree, but that's because the chilling effect is still in full force. Voices in favor of freedom and reality were censored for years
dude187··on The Case for Wearing Masks Forever
No, it's reality. We had to suffer through three years of attacks from people trying to deny reality. It needs to be spelled out and accepted
dude187··on The Case for Wearing Masks Forever
Not only is it okay, it's life.
dude187··on The Case for Wearing Masks Forever
Nope. Not gonna give up another second of my life or ounce of my freedom. Thankfully virtually everyone has woken up and agrees with this sanity
