I’d probably question your motivations before your arguments. You really can’t deny it is in the spotlight because we have elections coming up and this is a polarizing topic to mobilize voters with. Many of which will not understand any of the nuance.

And then I’d be wondering if your point requires dismissal of wide consensus (or - I have experienced this - sociology as a legitimate field of study all together) in favor of few outliers.

Also, I’m genuinely not sure which conclusions we are talking about here. I purposefully avoided sports and early medical transition and mentioned the DeSantis groomer / libsoftiktok stochastic terror against trans healthcare thing first - because that’s as close to objectively bad as anything related to this topic gets.

Try a less clear cut debate topic. One where intuition works against you.

Like the wave of anti-trans legislation and framing of our mere existence as grooming in red states. It's much harder to see the outright wrongness and evil.

It's easy with the Russians. We got propaganda pieces where the message to foreigners is always "we fight nazis in Ukraine" and the message inward is "we fight against having to go to pride parades and having our children turned gay by satanists". [1]

Now trans people? Hardly anyone bothers to read up on us, but we're the wedge anyhow. Even most democrats seem to have little interest in defending us beyond some surface level posturing. This debate solely exists to mobilize republican voters with a heavily framed appeal to their intuition and disgust reflex. We're just the next cataclysmic threat that can only be averted through national rebirth (hey, wanna make america great? again?). Because apparently CRT lost steam.

I think I earned the right to be cynical about both bloodsport-type debates and this "just be like, nice, dude" because the outcome of this debate has a really good chance at fucking up my life.

Half of editing is deleting superfluous words. But also, sometimes adding a few "dead weight" phrases can make text feel easier to comprehend.

I still prefer a product that works independent of needing to sign in (and share a bunch of data, some of it biometric), but I'm glad they fixed the google-like ban blast radius at least.

Haven't some people been banned from the store permanently, rendering SteamVR and sideloading useless too?

I'm not saying we shouldn't. I'm saying that's the status quo, and changing people on this level is much harder than a policy that simply says "you must have an underrepresented person in this batch of interview invites". Maybe that'll even get them to read the CVs as a side effect.

VR 7-8 years ago wasn't gated behind a store and large EULA, and the people in charge hadn't announced their intent to not just monopolize and monetize social VR spaces, but also workspaces.

There was still reason to be excited and hopeful about the future of VR.

I'll wait to get excited if the Index is updated. And until then I'll keep using my low res low FOV first gen Vive. Exclusively to hit boxes.

Silicon Valley is hardly representative of tech as a whole.

> curious why you focus on whites despite Asians being far more overrepresented, by the way

I picked your example. Also, I'm not in the US. Apologies for failing at the intricacies of US-centrism.

Anonymous CVs are an interesting idea, and indeed how most of the studies measuring biases (not just on gender, but also things like perceived origin of name) are constructed.

But you're not going to get everyone to do them.

> Interviewing.io did an experiment relative to gender with anonymized phone interviews

If voices were so representative gender, we wouldn't have a severely worse pay gap for trans women. These are more systemic issues that start with gender roles and expected acceptable behaviors themselves.

Have you ever been involved with hiring? The first stage - reading CVs - is not exactly the greatest point in time to judge people as individuals, if they're even read beyond a short skim. It is the biggest opportunity for unconscious bias to reject a candidate.

>The discrimination faced by Black Americans is because of their skin color, not their socio-economic status.

They're a self-reinforcing loop. A lot of racism is affecting socio-economic status (redlining, no generational wealth) and the bad socio-economic status then fuels the continuation of the disadvantaged status alongside racism.

Disadvantage is not solely based on wealth, though it does play a large part.

If you presuppose that giving disadvantaged groups an extra chance is a positive (your argument sort of does already) and only use wealth as a factor, isn't it still a net positive to uplift the typically poorer group? Doesn't that rightfully uplift more people than it does "wrongly"?

Does it have to? Humans are really bad at being rational actors. The fact that some groups are less represented is a source of bias on its own. They can still be sorted out if they don't meet hiring standards in the second step, where unconscious bias is a lot less likely to affect a person that can demonstrate their skills.

You just run them after you/your distro registers a handler for them. It uses binfmt behind the scenes.

(To be clear, this is for running Linux x86 inside Linux arm64 VMs on an Apple Silicon host)

Only on Ventura, which isn't out yet (and quite frankly, the pre-release version is still a huge mess)

As someone who has spent time on Vincent's mumble years ago, he is definitely at least fascist adjacent.

And his use of slurs is by no means ironic, unless you want to claim he is ironic 100% of the time he is online.

Nothing prevents you from doing this live either though, except maybe if you need very low latency.

I had to switch back to Pulseaudio and compile the audio plugin for XRDP myself (that was on Fedora 35).

I've done this for a long while, and I always come back to the only two viable competitors in the space (that don't require enterprise licensing).

Nomachine and ThinLinc.

Everything else is fine for the occasional remote desktop administration, but they all have a combination of bad video quality, no audio, no keyboard shortcut capture or bad scaling options.

It is very successful outside the US.

If I lived in the US I'd want to own a gun too - based on the political, social and economic climate.

>In this case the requesting party will have a token to prove their identity, and can forward it to the third (or 4th … nth) service without needing to incur a real-time validation each and every time.

Someone missed the entire point of audience claims in OIDC - on okta.com no less.

Definitely not all. GFN is by far the most reliable and "native feeling" of these, but not just giving you a generic Windows install with some persistence is what makes it not worth it for me.

I guess it's not trivial to get such "floating" windows licenses and prevent people from mining with a mouse jiggler?

Though I did subscribe to the 3080 tier for a month when my gaming machine was out of comission.

How is that different from not using a VPN?

In case you want a real answer: battery life.

While I agree that it is concerning, WARP doesn't decrypt your traffic unless you sign in to ZeroTrust, enable it in your dashboard and install their CA.

Not much you can do about them having decrypted traffic for sites that use them.

No as a rule.

They just replace your ISP with a VPN company. Which is the two is more shady is something you have to figure out, keeping in mind that a subsection of the internet just stops working or turns the aggressiveness of their anti-bot protections up to the maximum on a VPN.

Oh. It was Flash.

Sometimes I forget that was ever a thing!

speedtest.net used to have a sibling "pingtest" site that measured your jitter. I'm not sure why they don't exist anymore.

If you mean access and refresh tokens - both usually have a lifetime in the signed payload.

Your access/ID token is short-lived (~5 minutes). This token is trusted without confirming if the user still has access.

Your refresh token has a longer lifetime (hours to months) and can be used to trade for another access token (and a new refresh token, invalidating the old one), but every time you do this trade your authentication server can also check if the user still exists, is not banned, has not signed out and still has the same claims (username, email, groups...) and either not issue a new token or a token with different claims.

There are proxy servers that will do this entire thing in the background for you and hand you the claims of the current access token in HTTP headers.

>Issue solved, right? Well, kind of, except you've just reintroduced a bearer token, because that's exactly what the refresh token is.

Entirely missed the point that refresh tokens will not work when your app (or your user) has told the IdP to sign out - unless you requested offline access.
