It doesn't really matter at all, frankly. The workplace is not a democracy, it's a dictatorship. Whether you view the workers as nuanced complex moral human beings or just cogs doesn't change the impact the companies have on the world.
Who wants to rent? I imagine most would opt to own instead. Rent is certainly far higher than a mortgage would be, which makes little sense if you're trying to encourage ownership (as often is the story about the american dream)
- deal with selling my investment every time I move
And that includes me. I want to rent. I want the landlord to take care of all that crap for me. And I'm tired of all these people complaining about it.
Yes, a nonprofit group running/developing a housing area and renting to its members is much nicer than having to own at least a condo and then dealing with a bunch of bank/lawyer/realtor nonsense every time you want to move.
I don't want to be a member of a non profit housing group. Sounds like an HOA but made worse by the sanctimony and lack of incentives of people who work for non profits. I just want to hand over my money to a landlord and not think about it. My only considerations are what I pay and what I get in return. How much the landlord is making isn't at all relevant to me.
> Each Tesla is connected to an account and therefore a person.
Why do people put up with this? Seems absolutely insane to connect a car's functionality to the internet, aside maybe from remote start. Where are the legislators? Where are the regulatory bodies?
And it leads to absolutely ridiculous and predictable outcomes.
Tesla’s backend for fleet management at least used to be an absolute shit show that barely worked on the best day.
Apart from that, remember when (I think it was?) Troy Hunt published an article on how trivial it was to control some in-car features with nothing but a VIN and Internet connection?
There are certainly ways to do these things correctly. But until those measures are required by law and are -actually- implemented both consistently and sanely, it’ll be an intermittent bad time. The auto industry can barely get hardware security right, let alone electronic and digital security.
> providing the kernel interface through stable syscalls is actually the super power of Linux
I thought that it was drivers? Linux isn't particularly unique for having a stable abi (and the utility of such a decision is highly questionable). The driver support however is extraordinary and undeniable.
> Once again the EFF is proving that they'll stand behind their principles and defend freedom even for those they disagree with. They are one of the few remaining organizations that I feel I can support without reservation.
I find this attitude very odd. Surely some disagreements indicate a violation of their principles. What would the principles be worth otherwise? Surely this is the paradox of tolerance in a different package. Why not instead model communication as a bilateral contract?

If it was justifiable for speech infrastructure to ban the speech of any ideology based on if its implementation societally would probabilistically/historically lead to mass speech suppression and/or other atrocities, then a massive array of political and religious speech would technically qualify for a ban. Including Marxist-Leninist writing, or religious proselytizing to name a few.
I agree that gaming on mac is fairly grim, but I've been quite happy playing games on my 13" M1 macbook (air i think?). This excludes most AAA games, but I've certainly enjoyed Victoria 3 (and other paradox games). They don't seem to run much slower than on intel (which, granted, is typically worse than through wine or windows). Baldurs Gate 3 should be on it soon, I think. The mac market itself should shift pretty rapidly.
Edit: factorio and oxygen not included have both been pretty solid, too. I think factorio is even native.
Well, yes, at the end of the day Macs are still general purpose computers and despite all the hoops Apple puts in place that developers have to jump through, you can still release programs - including games - for them. So they do have and - unless Apple really screws up things somewhere - will always have games.
But what you're writing is basically what Linux gamers were writing for many years - even before Valve started focusing on it too.
That's the one bad experience I had with the game - in Steam it is already marked as available on Mac OS but after downloading the 100GB it tells you that it's actually still the Early Access version (with incompatible save files!) and you have to wait till September for the actual game. Which meant another 110GB download on my fallback device.
Is this the equivalent of directly asking the os for more pages, or does it work via some other heap-like mechanism that simply isn't garbage collected?
"Artificially high" by a factor of maybe 3. We need to look at how to get to a factor of 100 or 1000.
Oil is much, much more valuable in the long term as a material commodity, not a fuel commodity. This can be realized if we bring down the price of power, which is happening, albeit in only part of the globe.
I've seen the fuel or carbon tax pitched with a program where wealthy states directly subsidize the growth of non-carbon-emitting processes (or a low amortized rate, for instance for the concrete and mining and processing of nuclear fuel)—the non-wealthy states can continue to grow at a similar pace while not sacrificing leverage over the wealthy ones. There are many reasons this likely won't happen, but there certainly are solutions for those searching for them.
This seems to be an artifact of using Qt Creator. Generally speaking it is just a matter of running the same compilation steps with different targets (so long as you don't have arch-specific stuff in there like reliance on aliasing behavior or specialized simd, of course). Qt uses just about the most complicated build process I've seen outside of Xcode/objective-c++.
I'm curious to compare what the GTK build process looks like as a universal binary; I think RawTherapee has done it.
