Not the same person, but in case it helps, monitor dbus for denied flatpak permissions and use flatseal to grant them? (Could try allowing everything in flatseal just to rule it out) I don't use arch btw, but on fedora i have often fou

That battle was called "net neutrality", and the reason we who lost it fought it was to prevent web 2.0 becoming a set of giant moated properties.

Personally, I'd put twenty quid a month in a microtransaction wallet to cover hosting costs instead of ads, but that's not an option. I already pay for search. I hate ad technology but it does, to a small extent, empower creators.

Data is an unpriced natural resource. Your pabulum is already priced. We should, generally, tax extraction, because otherwise the externalities are imposed on the public for free. In the case of mining, that's e.g. resources taken from

Everything is a trade-off. Would you never ever under any circumstances accept even trivial breakage, even if it fixes a horrible wart that costs thousands of lost hours?

How do the economics pan out? Do you pay more for gluten at higher purity than the ~10% you get when you buy it in sacks of flour? The retail case is interesting, although maybe not indicative of wholesale I suppose this is a function of wh

Naively: gluten comes from flour, so you're not moving the needle I suppose you save shipping costs, and I'm aware that flour processed to remove the gluten is prized for cakes.

I agree with "roads are neutral", but to be really precise, no they aren't; they are built by a polity at the expense of some other not-built roads, in a way that supports some types of traffic more than others. Compare Los A

Your observation of the contradiction is correct, but reductionist to a fault. If Gore would have been better than Dubya, and if campaigning requires travel, etc. I take it you don't decry hydro for the use of concrete?

Yep, that sounds over-engineered for questionable benefit. Ty for the exposition. Sounds like something i would junk, too. I'm angry on your behalf.

I'll take that as a recommendation, thank you! Fwiw, i have found spares for many brands by searching model numbers and wading through spate parts aggregators. The market exists. It's often uneconomic :-(

The numerical majority of developed counties have some kind of privacy law. Murrica is an outlier, because of course it is.

Your broken waking machine drawer is an orthogonal problem, and perhaps not specific to one corp. Plastic parts break but, OTOH, overbuilding consumes resources with diminishing utility. A deep spare parts market is a cost. May i suggest ba

Ty for the insight - indeed, i had been thinking about full nuclear bunker, which you point out is overblown. That said, complacency (~entropy) tends to win over time. Ukrainian yong adult in 2051: ouch! Old Ukrainian: first time in a bunke

...which is common today. I like globalisation on its face. The second-order effects are a bitch. I don't want to go full protectionist, bit we should swing the needle back a bit.

I question the assumption that taxes you don't like will not fund the government "Should" needs some unpacking; there's a subjective value lurking inside. Personally, i prefer economic incentives over coercion. My starti

Strong opinions are loud, but we might suppose that most people are floating. People perceive both benefits and harms on the horizon. Right or wrong, it's a defensible view that the way labs conduct their research might lead towards be

It jumped out to me, in the metr report on the hf incident, that CoT was assumed unmodified. I do not know whether we can have that confidence.

Somewhat true, but consumers are buying vast quantities of lithium batteries and carrying them in their pockets. Those things are eager to catch fire and emit hydrofluoric acid. You can have safe battery chemistry or useful battery chemistr

If actions are extreme, perhaps. But that doesn't have to be the case. We have made efficient frictionless markets a holy cow. The appropriate response is not to eliminate them. The better part of "rapid value creation" is no

I'd refine your opener to: - economists have a good idea of how economies have worked _to date_ - they posit new policy to achieve goals - these policies introduce second-order effects that they failed to predict I mean, Friedman'

For android users: NewPipe (others exist too) It's web scraping, and occasionally falls behind yt changes (2 years ago it was unusable for about a month). It could be described as an arms race, but Google appears to suffer it to live.

HN is amazing. Someone posts an article, and the subject of the article turns up in the comments.
