“They are free!”

Provided you don’t criticise Russia’s actions, the regime, try to change anything or raise an issue about any oligarch stealing.

That’s not freedom.

I’m running 22.04.4 Server with kernel 6.5.0-27 and everything is rock solid.

Any reason I should upgrade when stable 24.04 releases?

C/C++ isn’t really faster than Rust. That’s the attraction of Rust; safety AND speed.

Of course it also depends on the job.

Everyone hates on it. Here I am; a simply Silverblue user and it seems fine to me. What is the issue actually?

Be careful what you wish for. I’ve been part of some rewrites that turned out worse than the original in every way. Not even code quality was improved.

Why is it a show trial of a study? In the article it seems Mermaids is supportive of the study.

I actually disagree that identity control is required. We already have in place the post office EasyID (Yoti) system and we already have PASS cards. It isn’t hard to imagine extending that system and simply saying “if you’re allowing an account from the U.K., you must verify the age using this third party system”. Agreeing that someone is over 16 and knowing everything about them is two very different things.

It’s only hard to imagine it because we’ve never tried.

I know I’m an old cranky Lemmy user and in the distinct minority here, where my impression is that the average age is somewhere in the 20s.

But as 40-something dad of four, I can wholeheartedly say that I would approve of this. And I’m saying this as a bleeding-heart “let people make their own choices”.

But I do believe we will come to view smartphone access (leading to Social media access and 1000s ephemeral Snapchat and WhatsApp groups) for under 16s like we now do selling cigarettes to children.

Before people decide how wrong I am, I’d really like them to try and raise children with smart phone and a race-to-the-bottom challenge where some absentee-parents child gets a smart phone in year 4 and then it sets off an avalanche.

Parent controls do not work on iPhone. And when I say “they don’t work” I don’t mean “they’re not effective”. I mean they’re broken and do not work. If Apple gave a shit and actually fixed it and if accounts on SoMe sites were age verified I’d feel very different about it.

Correct. But often that only happens if they make things better for you.

Well of course. It’s still right - the ecosystem lock-in is insane. There needs to be a standard for cloud to cloud transfer between providers.

Or you know, use Proton Pass or 1Password.

Could be the VPN provider or the NAS (cpu)

• ChatGPT
• Midjourney
• YouTube Premium (which I get through a mobile phone subscription at a heavy discount)
• Spotify
• Channel4 ad-free (UK broadcaster)

In addition I support a range of software through GitHub and Patreon:

• PhotoPrism
• Gluetun
• Little Navmap
• wg-easy
• DuckDNS

Finally I’ve got paid access to a couple of major and minor media sources:

• Washington Post
• Jyllands Posten (largest Danish newspaper)
• Olfi (specialised Danish defense news, named after a Danish frigate Olfert Fisher)
• Krigskunst (“The Art of War”, specialised Danish defense podcast)
• Det Hemmeligste at Det Hemmelige (podcast about spy craft and stay behind movements during the Cold War - just gone behind a pay wall but used to run on a public service channel)

Yeah it has. The demo aspect became smaller and smaller and with the advent of internet penetration even the copy side of it dissipated. It wasn’t the same at the end tbh

Still, fond memories of coding, sleeping under the tables, eating junk.

Same as The Party in Aars, Denmark, in the 90s. Every table had a sheet. Cross out the IP you picked. Managed 2000 attendees that way.

I would agree with your suspicion but it’s got to be said that their public statements are pretty clear: It is coming.

Yeah they should have run their own Mastodon server but I can understand they want to reach the Threads audience and until there’s two-way sync Threads it is.

I know. My point remains the same.

Groan. I’m on a mastodon server and a full believer in the free market. Can we not force this left/right conjecture onto server choice too, please?

It might have started a 4/10. By now, it’s touching 10/10 IMHO. But of course you have to like the kind of game it is.

Completely. Teams is EVERYWHERE in post-start-up businesses.
