Observed that firefox 47 and 60 clients kill the stream for all participants. firefox 68 works fine. Not sure why a client failure would cause a crash on the server but it's not a great experience.

Stand with whistle blowers, and stand against anyone who seeks to punish them. The correct way to blow a whistle is as loudly as possible for all to hear. Anyone who says otherwise is driven by profit, and profits being wiped out IS the most appropriate punishment for corruption.

Maybe if we stopped voting with single issues in mind we could see that we have been funding terrorists with every new congressional budget bill for a long ass time, and the real way to stop terrorism is to defund our government sponsored terrorists who we know commit crimes every day, instead of worrying about terrorists we don't know about yet but need to find because our local terrorists tell us we need to. Just saying.

Talk more with people before the meeting starts, be willing to hang around after it ends for more chit chat. If people are used to your voice then it won't silence the whole room whenever you utter something in the middle of a meeting, making it less awkward.

Also good to repeat what point someone has made before you address it. Makes you look perceptive and gives them a chance you argue with your understanding before your point, so your point doesn't have to get shot down over a misunderstanding.

I'm learning this the hard way too. :)

Fun! I wonder what the actual goal of the project is though.

I have several video recordings of the major left leaning news networks running audio ads over bernie speaking while joe and pete were allowed to speak freely, at length even. How is this possible that in 2020 an election can be so obviously rigged by keeping the candidates from speaking to their supporters via news coverage? Even news anchors that spoke of bernie were silenced for the rest of the broadcast.

Confirmation bias likely, but I'm still shocked.

I worry a lot about my kid writing or saying something that would be innocent child's play when in person but might be construed as domestic terrorism if seen in the wrong data dump by the wrong enforcement agency.

How can you teach right and wrong in an environment like this?

Why must you twist everything to make victims where you are the theoretical aggressor while comparing your desired outcome against what could conceivably happen should your proposed solutions be ignored? Is this a trick of some sort? A legalese technique? I am legitimately confused.

You know exactly how much an SRE makes. That's not what a library should be spending money on. Simply making a copy is thousands of man hours simpler than making a consumer facing online asset tracking system. You wildly misrepresent my obvious intent.

> What's preventing a library

It's a huge waste of taxpayer money?

This comment hardly adds anything productive here and makes a heck of an accusation. What damage has sharing books freely during a national emergency ever done to anyone? The authors lose nothing and gain readers.

Don't most corporate bailouts negatively impact their employee retirement prospects? I'm thinking of GM and Hostess in particular at the moment. The only winners seem to be the investors.

SUVs are probably the safest option. You get your nice isolation and you also get a nice crash cage! I wonder why it's so hard to prove to motorcyclists that this is the most efficient option!?

...Because they don't care about that crap. They are way ahead of your efficiency, often even ahead of the efficiency of a bus. A bike can get 70mpg without very much trouble and some more than 100mpg, and they don't cause traffic congestion in the first place because they occupy little additional space beyond the rider.

Gee, Maybe they're on to something, eh?

only nutters were attracted to this work in the 80s and 90s. My point stands. We're kicking out the people that thought differently enough to make the world we now live in. Honestly I refuse to blame someone for believing propaganda when it was so strongly pressed upon them. Remember, gay content only recently became acceptable to advertisers and corporate america. Anyone with the old anti-gay viewpoints will be purged by them and their cronies to make more money. This is wrong. Only actual misdeeds should be punished. It's ok to have wrong ideas. We all have them.

I'm queer, but have a LOT of empathy for the previous generation and the crap they had to put up with. Can you just imagine trying to say you were a LGTBQ ally in the 1970s when these people were in their formative years??? It was a different time. They are a product of that time. Be thankful.

Anyone unaffiliated with a large commercial organization is being systematically rooted out and destroyed in the free software community. I'm honestly ashamed to be a part of this community right now. ESR has done SO MUCH for us, but doesn't align with a position some wishy washy corporate PR departments have OK'd, so he's OUT. There is no "be nice" rule in life, and doubly so for corporate America. This is disgraceful bigotry in action.

Not as well as JFS2 nope.

.org is getting sold, all data plans have transfer caps, google is not even showing urls to mobile users anymore, yes things are going to hell.

Seems like this would be something to sell to folks that are willing to leave a little money on the table, if it's better to do so.

If you guys want to grab an IRC room for a bit, we could work out how this could be accomplished for at least a prototype.

Depends on power transmission efficiency.

Sounds like we need cofounders. :)

Why not sell locally hosted ads for keywords directly? The only other way to do it would be to check in with an ad provider periodically and update your ads from their list. In my simple model, there would be no tracking, and the ads would have to have noticeable impact for customer sales to establish value.

Just to flesh that out with a little context, I posted this on mastodon a few months ago: "Maybe I should make what I hate most: an ad company. Something with no javascript, no click tracking (heck why make an ad into a link at all...), no demographic personalization, no video, and simple honest accounting of ad placement (eg, ad was on xxx.yyy for zzz days, you owe us a buck). We'll target smaller sites looking to monetize content without driving away their users, and make it easy to serve ads from your own domain to reduce the chance they are blocked. Also it will be very inexpensive. That's the right way to do it."

Generally they shadowban you, which means you can post and interact normally so you don't get angry, but no one can see your posts. The algorithmic feeds also prevents many people from being heard when they need it most, such as in times of mental or physical suffering. They know you would rather see smiling people on the beach than suffering people.

It is absolutely the responsibility of the state to act fairly to all.

The scars on my hands and the memories of high voltage shocks past received digitally or even orally agree with this sentiment.

I'm a shit coder. I'm a great hacker. This weekend I just set up a peertube instance, grabbed some body parts for a project car from the junkyard, and ALMOST got my 3d print recycling machine working (just needs a damned 9mm socket adapter). Ain't a programmer. It's just a thing I do when I have no other alternative. i++

To be fair those cheap entertainment sources are only known to you because of advertising departments more populated than many small countries. Art still exists, but you are looking at old established media just doing their thing.

Friend of mine introduced me to his friend's step-dad who was a unix guru and I started attending the everett linux user's group for a few years. We had some fun over the years and made some fun projects happen. The most interesting of which was a computer with 3 motherboards and one power supply, and 2 of the nodes would netboot from the first.

This restricts politics to those that can afford it with those resources, so I disagree. Though it is better when these can be found in a shared friendly setting of course.

haha! Thanks!

The first comment was unsubstantial and I looked for a [-] to hide it and children.... no such thing was available. Really makes me happy that hacker news has kept its simple and functional interface as a priority.
