Presumably at 60 the right move is to surrender one’s body for science, as you’ve passed all the milestones of usefulness.

But why? What about being 51 vs younger means writing is “better leverage”.

One key difference is that Signal intentionally makes design choices to make it harder to use incorrectly, and PGP is comically easy to use incorrectly.

Either reply productively to refute the things you disagree with, or flag the comment and move on. Telling someone they’re insane is not that.

I think the boring answer is that the people who are looking to procure B2B SaaS solutions aren't looking for artistic sites that "evoke" a feeling. They're looking for a product that meets their needs, and one of those

I don't think it's corny so much as correctly noting the commentary in a work of political fiction.

They what’s the purpose of the new law?

The vagueness about what qualifies as a prohibited practice seems concerning, if this were to become a law.

Wouldn’t the fix for that be to ban blocking streets, regardless of why you’re doing it?

I did read the article, and it doesn’t define communal. Public is based on where it happens, not who I invite to participate.

Under this law, if my family sets up a picnic at a local park and we pray before our meal, have we violated the law?

For a security app, it's pretty rational to need to be updated. One of the most common patterns in basically every technological attack is to take a freshly discovered vulnerability and target devices that haven't been updated yet

It seems like their 15GB Lifetime plan intentionally has a $1/year fee to ensure you're still around and using the account, as a defense against the plan becoming unsustainable. They don't seem to do that for this 5GB plan...

The evidence there seems to make my point? Those people aren’t being warned for the content of their opinions, they’re being warned not to engage in flamewars or insults or other forms of incivility. My claim isn’t “nobody gets banned from

Can you cite any example of anyone being banned ever for voicing a controversial opinion?
497.
by akerl_ 11mo ago
My bet is that what gets people banned is repeatedly being disrespectful or rude, not the opinions they’re disrespectful or rude about. We have a great example via the flagged reply in this comment tree, where somebody is complaining about

by akerl_ 11mo ago
Except… you aren’t banned?

by akerl_ 11mo ago
Did you mean to post this as a reply elsewhere? You made the claim that people are banned for certain opinions and I asked for more information on that.

Can you cite any evidence of anybody being banned for the societal opinions they’ve expressed here?

> Basically the topics you might see in mainstream news are usually out. Well yea, that’s officially part of the guidelines: “ Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of s

Does it? The rules seem to suggest that the intent is to discourage arguments and grandstanding in favor of discussions, and many controversial topics and posts tend to end up as shouting matches in the comments.

Cloud init is a tool with documentation and a file format for config, that’s used all over the place. I’m not making the case that it’s better, just that it’s no more “black magic” than wpa_supplicant’s config file is, and it’s less magical

by akerl_ 11mo ago
It feels odd to complain about "tools doing black magic" when the new way is "cloud init, a tool used by a ton of infra platforms" and the old way is "drop a file in this directory and it will somehow get slurped in

Well, it seems you can either throw out a half-assed product, or wait a while and throw away your half-assed product? The odds that you're going to get free work based on a promise of future open source seems low.

There's a couple overlapping things here: 1. Apple can and does comply with subpoenas for user information that it has access to. This includes tons of data from your phone unless you're enrolled in Advanced Data Protection, becau

Why wait? Why ask people to trust that the free work they do for you will eventually be open source in the future?
