I think I hear you, but you're phrasing your twist as a choice made by individuals or made by their circumstances, e.g. choices that you are not a party to. However I'm asking about you in this case, alongside the "us" that comprise the people taking the time to observe and hypothesize about the world we're living in by discussing in on HN. Maybe after that it'll lead elsewhere.
I have started to read "The Dawn of Everything" by David Graeber and David Wengrow and while I cannot speak to most of the book, even in the first hundred or so of (ebook) pages, it challenges that frame of reference in a way that is clarifying, in the sense of being a palate cleanser, admitting different ways of thinking about these things.
In that context, what leads you call yourself and the rest of humanity primarily "consumers" in response to an essay? I think this has become uncomfortably (to me) normalized, and it begs the same question that Le Guin asks about whether we understand what we are doing when we are defining ourselves. A citizen and a person doesn't have to be defined as what they consume, do they?
La Liga (the football company) likes to send out takedown notices to anyone who may host anything that looks like a football to protect their precious games, no matter the collateral damage or the lack of any requirements to show damage. They have the right to block anything in Spain at their discretion either by DNS or IP. They do seem to work in good faith if you talk to them, though, and if you can either remove sites or content when they ask.
So you think that people who have repatriated themselves would not have any interest in adopting some or all of the values of the place they have gone to? That seems really wrong at a lot of levels, though people rarely adopt all of the values of the place they move to (whatever the circumstances).
Doesn't seem to work in Firefox on Linux when I follow the TRY NOW! link and get sent to /setup. Ironically it asks me to copy the link and open it in my browser.
I have met people who said they use vim for programming and don't know how to use commands like `%s` and `G` to do those basic things. I don't think most people understand how to use vim, and for those cases it's about the same as using any other editor with a find, and arrow keys and delete. That is, about as much an editor as any textarea in a browser.
I thought yubikeys only provided a sensor for the fact that the sensor was touched, vs fingerprint resets that actually distinguish whose fingerprint is touching the sensor before being usable as an authenticator
Most of the criticisms were accurate, if often very, very, very detail-oriented. DJB has always had a few settings: either you're on his level, on his wavelength, or he treats you as maybe bright enough to tie your own shoelaces on a good day.
That said, if you want to run a dns server and don't have huge scalable business to run on it, you can just run tinydns for a couple of decades and not worry about security issues, it just runs. BIND is more complex, and has evolved a lot more to do more because new features are implemented it as the reference, and so it needs to both scale up and out, and also change a lot, and for that, you get https://kb.isc.org/docs/aa-00913. So anyway, you can make up your mind, but my impression as a greying beard is that ISC has always been a risk you usually just need to accept if you need their tools since no-one else is doing anything to dethrone them.
I really don't have to. You're arguing your talking points, but not to any verifiable reality. You should have said "if they're all citizens, they are american" which is the same thing you're saying, but without the implication you're adding that those people protesting have no rights. So you should probably say what you mean instead of this mealy-mouthed weaseling you're doing.
I have neither seen nor heard anything that would lead me to believe most of the protesters are non-citizens or non-resident. You are not providing any evidence, just conveniently excusing this overreach by the executive branch by ignoring the rights of the protesters with a facile lie.
You are trying to establish that the financial meaning of free software is the primary meaning, while the freedom aspect has been the primary meaning. You would do better to change your focus to searching for false claims of "no-cost" software or something rather than trying to undermine an established meaning that is already understood and widespread.
I read that and thought of zero-sum winner take all pursuits that are more performance than achievement. Office politics, trash talking in earnest, picking sides in conflicts that don't involve me, etc.
Sporting for the sake of blood, not for any kind gain. Metaphorical fox hunts if you will.
Saying "technically incorrect" is downplaying what is really totally incorrect from any reasonable interpretation. There is nothing in that fact check that it's close to what was said. Let's just call it wrong and not try to excuse it
Ok, are you ascribing a motive of extortion here? You seem to be repeating an awfully simple principle but not making clear what you think the context is. Could you explain what your perspective is here?
You have too black and white a view of this. It's not about accepting censorship, it's about refining the governing laws. Shouting "Fire" in the theater has always been a good line to draw, and a way to discuss what is healthy vs. not us important.
What makes you think I specifically would think differently about apple? I don't think I've said anything here that would indicate that, so it seems like you're projecting.
The idea of a free Internet is an ideal that is subject to the sovereign laws of the country the packets travel to, and that is playing out here. All I know is that it's important to learn the lessons being taught now in the 2020s where control of the data transmitted to populations is how politics is won
Regarding this answer being posted twice, I guess my edit to the response in the wrong thread wasn't accepted, not much anyone but the mods can do about that now.
If I'm reading that correctly, the court is taking this action after requesting that rumble respond to their requests and rumble has not responded. It's not censorship from the get-go, it's brinkmanship from rumble to get this response, it seems

I don't think you are arguing against the parents position, but for it, while your answers' odd contrarian positioning also exhibits how critical context and caring are to answering questions. Good job, you.
There's also a technical hurdle of the telco can't know where you're coming from over the Internet. The terminate your end of the vowifi call and from there they only charge for the connection as though it originated in their network, which is all they know for sure (that is their SIM and your account that's authenticated from somewhere in the world)
Yeah, pinha in the northeast where they're pretty common. In the south, a native seed/nut is called pinha (it's a "pine" nut that is entirely different from the Mediterranean type of pine nut).
IIRC pinha the fruit is not native to Brasil, but to the Indian sub-continent like so many other amazing tropical fruits.
I would suggest for anyone looking for novel fruits in the northeast of Brasil, check out "Ingá", the variety that has the nickname "ice cream bean"[1]
Yep packaging was a nightmare. The fix for a bug in cron could require you to apply a kernel patch and reboot. But not if you had already applied a different kernel patch beforehand for some specific hardware, but which wasn't available except for particular hardware. But if you just install the patch it may succeed! But it didn't really apply, because the solver that figures out your patches ran separately and doesn't run fast enough to be part of the patch process but the patch has its own script that checks whatever separately to determine that. Oh and if you wait a week your process may break because the -20 version of the patch doesn't fix your problem anymore but it superceded the -12 version you were using anyway. But whichever one you apply, you'll have to reboot.
Like, to update cron. Even though through 3 versions of the same patch id, it does and does not fix cron.
Pure insanity with no product focus on user experience.
Why would you want to restrict contributions from people with relevant experience and willingness to share, just because the author ran a spelling and grammar check?
