glglwty··on Airbnb raises violent crime rates in cities as residents are pushed out
Externalities caused by Airbnb opposers: 1. Block people's access to tourism 2. Worsen the economy by artificially cuts demand from supply 3. Hurt tourism workers including restaurants workers, etc 4. Create segregation which is partially what nativism is about 5. Hurt people who live there and love talking to travellers

If you don't want "other people" in your sight and zero nuisance, buy the entire street. Personal preference relying on inefficient resource allocation should be paid for.

glglwty··on Looking Glass: Run a Windows VM on Linux in a window with native performance
I looked into this project (and related GPU pass through projects) a few years ago. Putting the discussion and even some issue tracking into a "support thread" in this forum makes getting information really difficult. It's the same experience when you want to install LinageOS and realize you have to go through a long thread on XDA and sometimes reddit to solve any issue you may have.

I own a pinkebook pro and it can't survive a kernel compilation (which is quite a normal thing to do for this device because it doesn't run on mainline kernel and requires patching) without dying from the battery drainage while plugged in.

I get system76's coreboot offering looks interesting because there aren't many vendors shipping that feature. What's the appeal of their other products though?

Graph cut is useful in computer vision.
glglwty··on Amazon, Apple and Google Cut Off Parler
How does AWS know what's hosted on their VMs?
glglwty··on Apple has threatened to ban Parler from the App Store
Doesn't potentially cutting off millions of customers help with the course of decentralization though?

In pinduoduo's case there are internal memos specifying the hours.
glglwty··on How to get root on Ubuntu 20.04 by pretending nobody’s /home
> [...] gdm3 thinks that there are zero user accounts and it launches gnome-initial-setup.

What if the root user intentionally deleted all non-root users? GDM would just let anyone creates an user with wheel?

glglwty··on One Week of NixOS
Try strace and look at what the is loaded by ld.so?

Jitsi works in mobile web browsers and yes it can access camera

glglwty··on Why has college gotten so expensive in the last 30 years? A blank check in 1993

I have less screen tearing in wayland/sway compared to X11/compton FWIW. Also everything being newer means configuration is easier to understand. In X11 there are too many tool combinations and it often requires googling and fiddling to change any configuration.
glglwty··on Rideshare operations are being suspended in California
California proved that $100B won't even build you a high speed rail between SF and LA. The cost of convincing people to change their mind, is still cost.
glglwty··on Linux PinePhone has physical kill switches for its cameras, mic, data, BT, Wi-Fi
I think they upstreamed patches to gnome and wlroots

glglwty··on Feds say Yale discriminates against Asian, white applicants
Randomly admitting Indians will give you great diversity in backgrounds. Randomly admitting 4chan users will give you great diversity of thought. Of course that would absurd because those are not about race...
glglwty··on Why is there only one Snap Store?
You may find guile easier to read (I don't). In terms of packages and features it's way less useful than nixpkgs.
glglwty··on Microsoft is reportedly in talks to buy TikTok's US operations
Should the US also ban foreign TV shows, music, books originated from totalitarian states? Because the producers are subject to the will of their governments and might be compelled into spreading propaganda although it has not happen?

I personally believe that freedom will prevail and this kind of race to the bottom towards censorship and executive branch unilateralism is sad.

glglwty··on Microsoft is reportedly in talks to buy TikTok's US operations
Is there any precedence where the executive branch just ban a foreign company without citing the violation of law and going through court or WTO, in the last century?
