I thought he was pretty clear. The internet itself shouldn't be limited to merely TCP et al. It's just wires.

Yeah, it's blank for me unfortunately.

I think I'm experiencing a bug like this one here:

https://github.com/Bl4Cc4t/GoodTwitter2/issues/33

i'll look into it

Do you know how to access GT2 settings? I can't seem to find it after installing the script and confirming it works.

Looks like DDG and I are breaking up. I used DDG precisely to get around this kind of manipulation -- i can make my own assessments.

What good alternatives are there even left these days?

There's talk that the only an-2 produced, that resides in Ukraine, was damaged or destroyed.

For the user the proposition is the opposite. The value of the technically superior formats isn't worth the increased use complexity.

> having a capacity to move one to either compassionate or contemptuous pity

> marked by sorrow or melancholy

> pitifully inferior or inadequate

> absurd, laughable

seems accurate enough a word to describe the emotional argument.

May I humbly suggest Holy C?

> These people seem incapable of understanding the existential threat to free society and democracy posed by limiting everyone's ability to communicate private thoughts.

I proffer instead that this outcome isn't a side effect but their ultimate goal.

Builds relationships, can arrive at an optimal price, involves human contact.

It doesn't take that long either. There are positives even to things you deem useless.

I'm unable to understand whether this is something to genuinely be worried about, or if it's red tape.

It sounds kind of hysterical, sort of like programmers worrying about cosmic rays. Is this something that's deeply improbable and insignificant, or is it something that is guaranteed to happen eventually even though it is unlikely?

Really overblown. Maybe in the company of others is better the first time, maybe the second, maybe if you've got a history of psychosis, but in general tripping alone is by far the best way to trip.

That is what financialization does. Finance is a parasite that will destroy all potential if given room. To force finance to be symbiotic you must never allow them to control anything.

These ideas are best left in the academy, and then later financialized. The exception to this is internal R&D (like Bell Labs and countless other extremely productive corporate divisions.)

It's Covid. Nobody wants to go to college on Zoom. People have postponed their education because of this stupid boomer shit so expect a boom when restrictions end.

I have made a lot of money on Bitcoin, and only bitcoin. It paid for my education, my house, and my future retirement. But I knew about it from 2009 and started mining in 2011.

I'm under no illusions: the money I made from Bitcoin didn't come from nowhere. It came from people losing their savings and gambling money they shouldn't.

You know what hurt more? The divide that sprouted from the obfuscation of the truth and its pursuit.

> Apple could easily have locked it down in exactly the same manner as their iOS/iPadOS devices

Yes. That is in fact the problem. They shouldn't have the ability at all. Given the ability it will be done, it is only a question of when and why.

Corps have this ability already and are building in tech to make circumvention even more difficult. We are one update away as it is now.

Indeed.

Moral arguments for war are bankrupt and disguise the truth.

Can you? Reddit makes you change a setting, save it, reload the page, uncheck a couple more settings, save, before you can see adult content these days. per-account

quick test logged out:

search "butts" -> no nsfw results on first page search "tits" -> a couple unlabeled nsfw posts (against reddit rules.)

The optics on this seem to indicate that it is just a lateral flow test of some kind.

It's not even different. Instead of having to interpret a couple lines you have software interpret the strip and tell you over bt on your phone. So much tech for so little.

Can you quantify that Tumblr is dead? Metrics I've seen still have it receiving a huge amount of traffic.

That I agree with. Their collection methodology was clearly inadequate. They should have been more careful who they mailed, even though they did try to be careful it wasn't enough.

it's not research on humans as such. it was intended to be research on organizations, websites large enough to be subject to the law.

I'm confused how this is human experimentation. Were they not merely collecting information on how a site handles these requests? Is it because they erroneously sent emails to sites that do not fall under the umbrella of the law they were examining?

An email asking an organization for answers to questions is human experimentation?

I must be missing something.

If there was ever life on Mars at scale it wouldn't be impossible or unusual to find oil and coal, would it? Or does it degrade on the timescales that would be required for this to be possible?

tbc I don't believe there's oil on mars nor do I think it is remotely likely.

Shifts the balance of power away from labor in favor of business. Puts a thumb on the scale. It is corruption.

I came to the same conclusion. However my thinking was more along the lines of examining where the most evocative, incisive, accurate, renderings of culture & critique were being created. I'll tell you, the revolution will not be televised. And it's not coming from America's liberals (and of course not from the Silent gen. type conservatives either.) but it is more often than not coming from the right. Thought not the right that is in power now...

Conservatism: the article.

Kinda shit, tbh. Philosophical suicide and just so stories. Disgusting.

Do these default statistics include perma-forbearance? The link in the page was dead.

> This was caused by a software upgrade of the Linux kernel, which increased the average power use of the server from 1.19 to 1.49 watts

I wonder what change in the linux kernel caused the increased load. Someone out there is responsible for this crime!
