That’s an interesting read, and his views are more extreme than I thought. But I sort of agree that some unification of terminology and legislation would make situation better (maybe just not in a way he proposes). E.g. age of consent may differ by about 6 years in different places, that’s quite awful.

Ach, well, a known method to create a nice discussion

I’m not familiar with slackware but why is specific kernel called generic, while generic one is not called generic? I’m puzzled

It’s just an old rant, some people can’t get over the fact systemd exists

uBlock Origin is also not piracy, but it is the real way to block

What do you mean, “you people”?

If only nix wasn’t such a pain to read, with all the conveniences it has like automatically looking up variables in all of the places available.

I understand the thought, but it feels like a lot of things done to simplify writing the code makes it way harder to read, and nix’s design is decades old and it really shows

Also, there are sometimes issues with nix on macos, but I’m inclined to blame it on Apple

One possible solution might involve displaying conflicting resolutions or varying the information based on the user’s location.

I hope they will just show conflicting resolutions together

But I don’t think this will work too well, as there is tons of misinformation and only so many fact checkers working for the governments (that is if we leave aside the fact that those will likely lie in every other resolution)

Not an American, I would guess that blackface in particular looks more like a roughly made mock. And then I can see why mocking others based on skin colour can be seen as racist.

I would say that tanning usually looks more natural (even in failed cases), that’s why it would not be seen as racism, in worst case it would look like a person made a laughing stock of themselves in case of poorly applied tanner.

Then again, it is still just a guess, as I am not from the US

Yeah, it makes a nice deception, and is legally ok, or at least they thought so

A bit relevant, because even without sharing private keys Diffie-Hellman without prior knowledge will allow for a MitM attack.

But the answer is too short to make sense of without knowing that, I think

I used to know that and still struggle to understand how a handshake wouldn’t allow MitM. Later I found out that it requires a third party with a trusted and known certificate for signing handshake exchange messages in order to ensure there’s no man in the middle: https://stackoverflow.com/a/10496684

Maybe they don’t subscribe

DouYin, you know, the Chinese YouTube

That’s sarcasm though, as I expect them to be as malicious as YouTube

since they can’t legally harvest data

Oh, poor little things 🥺

We used BigBlueButton in a team, even had someone connect it to SIP, I think

For the most part it just worked, a great product

It would’ve been funnier if Debian was Porsche, Lamborghini, or Ferrari:

Although you’re correct, I find fediverse lacking in the department of the more niche stuff, e.g. fandoms of specific games, communities by geo proximity, obscure hobbies.

But well, Reddit wasn’t like this from the start and I hope the diversity and smaller communities will be here instead of there with time.
