"More rational" is subjective. There are values and incentives, other than money and specific kinds of self-interest, that can bring satisfaction and joy. And why should someone be respected if they are intentionally making others

I can relate to many of the frustrations. As years have passed, I've been trying to lessen the (repetitive) effort required for basic monitoring and maintenance over plain SSH. I felt that just the shell wasn't good enough, and la

This sounds so wild. Surely it would be much more efficient, for space and picking up, to have containers for trash.

Cookies for normal functionality don't require consent anyway. But yes, I think just about everybody would like the UX you described. But the entities that track you don't want to make it that easy. You probably know of the do-not

Tracking, tracking cookies, banners etc. are a choice done by the website. There are browser addons for making it simpler, though. The transparency requirements and consent for collecting all kinds of PII (this is the regulation) actually i

While I agree in general, my opinion is that customer choices do also matter and can move the needle, slowly, with larger cultural change. Personally, trying to make better choices, big or small, isn't about "virtue signalling&quo

As a Linux user, it just felt like a locked-down package repository to me.

Maybe your player is going bad. And blu-ray may be more resilient than DVD if memory serves. My experiences with streaming vary. - You need multiple services with the accompanying headaches. - some content will still get yanked - if you don

You can use similar big scary numbers and words for a lot of much worse and more time consuming things.

No, everyone does not understand that and companies were not transparent with what they do with the data, what data they collected and who they shared it with. Not to mention, if you consider it a payment-like transaction, surely you'l

Unfortunately, even without consent banners, there's plenty of unnecessary clicking in this new golden age of (CSS) popups.

Mastodon doesn't have the incentive to try to spy on everybody and try to get everybody hooked by any means necessary.

Thanks for providing some concrete examples and explaining how it works. Sounds like a reasonable setup to automate. I'm actually running NixOS at home on a few hosts (but not on my desktop), so Nix isn't entirely foreign to me, b

Sure, and personally, I have no issue installing and using recommended tools since it's indeed just a work laptop, but I've seen more tuned setups too (see parent's point 2: "Developers really like to have control over t

From my perspective, installing Nix seems pretty invasive. I can understand if someone doesn't want to mess with their system "unnecessarily" especially if the tool and it's workings are foreign. And I can't really

Maybe I'm having some kind of brain fart or mixed something up, but I thought "absolutely nothing" was a direct quote from them and no mention of plastics in general. Is there a way to see if/how comment was edited? I&#x

Are you sure there's absolutely nothing wrong with virgin plastics? Maybe it'd be safer and simpler to just avoid plastic in e.g. cooking since the growing amount of research about effects of plastics doesn't seem very positi

What benefits do the vendor distros provide? The downsides include at least increased vendor lock-in. I think one can attribute many things to the success of Linux (incl. POSIX) but it's not about one single thing and the whole shouldn

by kalaksi 2y ago
I disagree about the desktop not being a success but I guess it depends on how you define success. It's true that it's not as popular as some other OSes.

In the same vein, as a non-native speaker, I sometimes find it funny when even words that are written the same way (or are very close) are pronounced differently. E.g. read vs. read. And then I also hear from movies that people pronounce &q

Ah, right! I think rust will find more use but it takes time. Many existing technologies and languages are probably good enough for most suitable projects with historical baggage. Maybe crypto industry is just in a good position to try new,

I think it solves many problems regarding safety in lower level languages and with some great language features, so I can't really understand your take. Sure, C++ is more established with the benefits that entails, but that's not
