Can_Not··on Crystal 1.0 – What to expect
Also, it produces binaries (probably similar to golang) which are a reasonable size considering there is a garbage collector. No giant interpretors or VMs required.

And macros.

In my experience it seems like you could upload a video where nothing actually happens and if you put the narrative you want in the title people will just run with it.

Makes you wonder if Facebook would have been worse under these two.

Can_Not··on Reinstating Net Neutrality in the US
> Which is it, do we need net neutrality or do we need more than deplatforming?

Net Neutrality. This post is about Net Neutrality.

> So you have no explanation as to how the word master is linked to black slavery in the United States?

Black slaves had something called "masters".

> if you think this just involves a tiny one word change

I literally unironically believe this, and the only skin I have in this game is that "main" is shorter and more ergnomic to type.

> There's a broader cult like indoctrination happening

Yeah, it's called "qanon" and "postmodern conservatism".

> it's filling children's minds with critical race theory in schools

I'm not an alt right extremist who believes in nonsensical white supremacist conspiracy theories, so the fact that children are getting a real education is not a problem for me.

>a word with no link to racism

Slave owning in the US was heavily linked to racist ideology, that's simply history.

> without actually doing anything helpful.

"main" is both shorter and more ergonomic to type

> then trying to force

None of my old repos have broke over the new suggested default

> insane ideology

Maybe they took not being racist a little too far, but changing a single word is hardly "insane" or "ideology".

> while trying to paint them as bigoted if they don't like it

I think the only people getting painted as bigots are the ones painting themselves with their over-reactions.

> dystopian society

With the way some of these complaints were worded, you'd think they changed the default new repo branch name to "stalin" or "karlmarx" or "漳州市" and started disabling non-compliant accounts, so I had to read the article, no it's actually a really boring and unintrusive default branch name of "main" for new repos.

Can_Not··on Self-Hosting Git
My thoughts:

Does this service allow me to deploy the apps on my own a VPS and/or dedicated server?

Does this service offer to host the apps I deploy?

Does this service allow me to specify a docker container?

There should be a full list of supported deployable apps.

Can I use forks of the available apps, or deploy from a git repo?

Do I get analytics (cpu, ram, visitors)?

[Assuming clear answers on earlier questions] So I can deploy a ghost blog from my phone? Maybe this could be elaborated.

Any plans to release a video example of the service's usage?

My thoughts on the matter is that Test Driven Design is pretty cool, and if you had never written a test before, this is the one of the easiest tests to write.

Mathematically, using a metaphor, it's like your family is having a budgeting crises, your spouse spends 10k/year on coffee, your kids spend 50k/year on dog patreons, and your accountant's only recommendation is for _you_ to personally look out for and pick up every penny you find in a parking lot.

The completely illogical application of the slippery slow fallacy*

The actual logical next step would be to address the large corporations that are polluting.

I had way too many successful email changes that did not send an email to my old email account informing me of the action. If a hacker had stolen those accounts, I might not know for a long time!

> Greene "liked" posts calling for the assassination of prominent Democrats including former President Barack Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Greene also used social media to boost false claims that deadly mass shootings in Parkland, Florida, Newtown, Connecticut and Las Vegas, Nevada were actually staged.

>In light of the revelations, the Democratic-controlled House took the unusual step of voting to force Greene to be removed from her committee assignments on Thursday after GOP leaders failed to act on the matter themselves. Democrats were joined by 11 Republicans who voted to strip Greene of the assignments.

That's a lot of "they came for the [...] and I did nothing" and not a lot of straw in the "straw-congresswoman".

Still none with dark mode, native apps, markdown.

> 1000$ is not a lot of money.

If you're wealthy, sure. Being one of the Americans that can handle a $400 surprise expense doesn't mean you can casually handle a $1000 joke.

But it's not simply $1,000. It's a $1,000/year commitment.

It's also not simply $1,000/year. The article claims they spent weeks on it. That could be anywhere from $500 to $50k in unspecified labor, whether that's simply opportunity cost or the estimated value of your nights and weekends, for an unspecified duration.

Maybe there was no meaningful opportunity cost, maybe this person is well off enough they don't really have to make hard choices or worry about where they will live if their $50k idea is a total loss.

IMO the problem isn't the person who holds ~25 unused domains, the problem is the company that holds ~25,000 and parks a "make me an offer, minimum 2,000" page on all of them.

Or not, because the law would force them to pay taxes on that ton of land, but maybe something like a $200,000 personal exemption would help.

I guess there could be some improvements, such as a right to feedback law (protections for both parties), make it harder to legally fire someone but easier if it's a real democratic team decision, better short term unemployment benefits.

Parler was removed for being under-moderated, sure, but with that aside, it was also a huge censorship platform.

Can_Not··on NFTs Are a Dangerous Trap
That comparison is really the opposite, the open question on the morality of porn does nothing to damage the usefulness of home video recorders.

On the other hand, the morality of NFT's is already mainstream while the usefulness is an open question that's leaning toward "not really".

When beanie babies have limited supply, it's because the factory has to manufacture other goods for their next contract.

When imaginary cryptohashes have limited supply, it's kind of pointless, or at least there is nothing good for the buyer or society.

Can_Not··on NFTs Are a Dangerous Trap
Obviously the reason artists would flock to NFTs are for easy etherium profits.

Buyers are correctly skeptical of how vague and poorly articulated the value proposition is for them.
