The ideal internet was open and free if you could pay hosting and bandwidth costs - generally those who were associated with universities could
I say let him do that and then let congress legislate this once the grim details of how the human subjects died creates a scandal and political unity across the aisle. It’s the American Way®
Dark mode issues hahahahaha
Oh that’s sad. The nature of commerce and competition means that proprietary stuff will never go away because making closed stuff is the way MBAs are taught to create “competitive advantage”
What’s holding GNU/Hurd back? Can’t be hardware anymore since it became blazing fast
Looks like his buttplug got accidentally dislodged but he can’t fix it right at that moment
That was not the UNIX way… True UNIX way would end silently and have zero as $?

Thanks for reminding me of this masterpiece of writing about management of social networks
People point fingers at Meta for “allowing” this but there’s no amount of money that can reasonably moderate 3 b-b-billion users.
This is a prime use case for AI technology
Some people also use tablets and even foldable phones

I hate packing because I have to make many decisions and remember of previous packing experiences where I used less than half of the clothes, so I keep rearranging until last minute.
Anyway, this time I had an intense two weeks at work preparing things before I went on my holiday. I had to wake up at 4:45am to go into the airport but the last time I messed up with the bags was 1:30am on the same day. “No biggie” I thought, and I set the alarm for 4:45 and slept.
When I wake up, the first thing I remember thinking was “damn, that was a nice, deep sleep. I feel good”. The sun was shining gently through the curtains and it felt like a great Saturday morning A few seconds later I realize something was off. I reach my phone and look at the time: something past 11am.
Long story short I had to buy an one way ticket and luckily there was another flight on the afternoon.
The aftermath: I don’t trust my mobile phone to wake me up. I set two separate alarms to wake me up if I have one of those very early morning flights. If I am in a hotel, I also request two separate wake up calls, just to be sure.
Not more, necessarily, but definitely more exposed as smaller servers won’t have legal and regulatory compliance teams supporting them
Perhaps, once legal consequences of comments start kicking in here and there, the Fediverse will tend to remain fragmented to avoid having very large communities that also happen to act as a lightning rod for litigation
She does not have superhuman stock picking and macroeconomic environment decoding abilities. She got massively lucky with China until Xi decided that large successful Chinese enterprises were a danger to his Party and COVID+inflation stressed all other companies
Unless you live in places like cities around Los Angeles
