the other stuff isn’t too wild either.

how does it compare to yt-dlp?

if you just want to make a simple program. It still needs to run in kubernetes.

“hello OPS-team. Here is my simple program. Have fun running it on your kubernetes”

is this a jojo reference?

It’s at most 40 years old technolog

the 60s were 60 years ago

. But it is trained well enough to correlate left and right together

eliza could do that 60 years ago

who does the gene therapie work?

Do they inject mrna (like with the covid vaccine) or is there more going on?

the article is a little light on the technical details.

The Ad sponsored web model is not viable forever.

a thousand times this

we’ll probably get a win 12 that is less good than win 10, but better than win 11,

I wouldn’t count on it. MS is moving away from selling desktop-stuff and towards selling cloud stuff (think azure and office356) and consulting. That’s why they changed their attitude towards linux (think wsl and c# for linux) and open-source (think github). MS wants companies to use open-source tools (preferably written in c#) and deploy them to azure with the help of MS-consultants.

Enshittifying windows is a step in that direction. For example: The more people have a MS-Account, the easier it is to sell office356. That’s why they pressure windows-user into making MS-Accounts.

MS knows that desktop is dying.

most recently I had this with energy-settings, before that with network-settings, and before that with some language settings.

I’ve not actually had this problem …(aside from [when I had this problem])

lol

the last time I had to set up a windows-system, I just said fuck-it and bought a key for 2€ from on of these shady key-sides.

There’s a lot to not like here.

the new snipping-tool is neat

yes I know if you look hard enough you can find legacy panels

In some case you have to actively looks for the legacy panel, because the new ones don’t allow to change certain settings.

is this declaration about e2e in general, or is there a specific new rollout they are referencing?

Our societies have not previously tolerated spaces that are beyond the reach of law enforcement, where criminals can communicate safely and child abuse can flourish.

I am pretty sure, churches were “tolerated spaces” bevor e2ee was a thing.

However you will now have rodent problems

chicken got you covered on that front too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iubf1oJdQQQ

soft failures add complexity and ambiguity to your system, as it creates many paths and states you have to consider. It’s generally a good idea to keep the exception handling simple, by failing fast and hard.

here is a nice paper, that highlights some exception handling issues in complex systems

Maybe you should read that link too, and maybe a few others before making such statements.

I am familiar with the idea of communism. I am making an explicit counter pointer to the idea of “pure communism”.

The whole idea of anarchism and communism is to abolish hierarchy. Things being the way they are now doesn’t mean it is inevitable for them to always be like this.

That is a good point actually. But the observation of hierarchy is very very strong (both in humans and in animals). You would need a very strong argument to counter it, which I am not seeing.

It says more about you

… that’s not a strong argument. That’s just a thinly veiled insult.

how much you have to unlearn of your indoctrination (as well as how powerful and successful it is) that you can’t see beyond it

Are you asking me to have faith? Or is there some evidence for your argument?

there will always be a power imbalance. Maybe the divide will not be financial, but there are plenty of other ways for people to gain power over others. During revolutions the divide will often be about how loyal you are to the cause, i.e. people who appear more loyal to the revolution, will have power over people who are less loyal.

I think the article forgot the “Individualization of Responsibility”-talking point.

“When responsibility for environmental problems is individualized, there is little room to ponder institutions, the nature and exercise of political power, or ways of collectively changing the distribution of power and influence in society — to, in other words, ‘think institutionally.’”
