I think this is a naive position that likely comes from lack of exposure to Russian propaganda. It doesn't take much to discover that RT is illegitimate. I think people who haven't figured this out do get sucked into it without re

Thanks for the first two. So she was a guest on panelist/talking head shows about her antiwar positions. I know about Chris Hedges. I wasn't asking about him.

I remember using a lot of very low quality, buggy Skype apps on mobile over the years. I don't think it ever approached desktop quality. To be honest it didn't even work great on laptops that got turned on and off or went in and o

I don't know. I wasn't on the team doing this. I was just looking at the source tree.

When I worked at Microsoft and I had downtime I would sometimes read the code for app compatibility shims out of pure curiosity. Win9x video games that made bad assumptions about the stack were a theme I saw. One of the differences between

I do something like this in my .muttrc. It was showing up in documentation iirc, as the typical way to store credentials for mutt.

Plainclothes officers are hijacking people on the street without showing any credentials, then sending them to Salvadorean gulags without any court hearing. Your lack of paying attention to this or lack of understanding how bad that is is n

JD Vance is a poster boy for Y Combinator adjacent fascists. Marc Andreessen, when he is not cheering on opiate overdoses in his hometown and praising the British Raj, loves what's going on. We need to accept that Silicon Valley has ma

I guess the thing about these examples is that cryptography can "visibly work" while being broken. The vast majority of people looking at the product will observe it to work "fine", in that nothing blows up.

That's not the sentiment I tend to hear from people who use both. I've heard a number of people point out that Meta platforms are stale copy of what you saw on TikTok a long time ago.

But your way often leads to mediocrity. There are major success stories about being able to buck the consensus and trends and not be concerned with conformity. Including my own career success. But many other examples in many fields as well.

The words I chose are specifically meant to highlight the downsides. 1. Groupthink has a negative connotation of the downsides baked in. 2. "Hyper" conformity (or hyper anything) is already saying that it is too much. I think it&#

I guess you could say the comment is conflating the mod team and the community. I think the community can be pretty susceptible to groupthink and hyper-conformity, and there are tons of legitimate criticisms around that. But it's true

This kind of thing also has me surprised to see TikTok only at #4. A lot of content on Meta properties are now reposts from TikTok. It feels like the latter is driving conversation.

Unattend has been part of windows setup for way longer than a decade. The current form of it was introduced in Vista. The same concept existed before, but I know less about how it worked back then. Even without unattend, something I think p

I mainly use NFS. SMB I typically use from Windows or Android. (The latter with the app "andsmb") iSCSI is block layer so I don't find it very useful.

I have never had a good experience with out of tree kernel modules on linux, so I am skeptical of this report. Usually for Linux Debian is my distro of choice.

Here's where I'll show my age. If you got into a unix-like OS in the '90s, the *BSD ergonomics will make more sense. I remember when Ubuntu and docker each entered the scene and my initial impressions of both were pretty nega

ZFS is probably the biggest reason for me. I have a machine with a zfs pool running samba and nfsd. Philosophically I tend to prefer *BSDs over Linux. I have a few FreeBSD machines, one OpenBSD, and one Linux.

A bunch of papers related to the JFK assassination that say Lee Harvey Oswald did it and acted alone. Who cares? This certainly isn't something that means you should ignore the fact that people are being abducted by plainclothes agents

Not to mention we have constitutional restrictions on what law enforcement can do, in recognition that such abuse has been a problem even hundreds of years ago.

I'm still doing it when I am typing at a physical keyboard. Hard habit to break. I learned it so long ago too. You can tell when I've edited something on both a phone and a physical keyboard, based on the inconsistent use of space

The way grammar works is that it is hard to describe the rules of your native language. I am parsing this as non native. My older kid is a few years younger than this guy, and her text messages to me sound more native than this corpus. No I
