Communism would have all ERs equally shitty and expensive [to the taxpayer]. Is that all that better?

I mean, your argument holds true for everything. And yet, look around us and compare to any instance of communism on various extents. Capitalism is always better.

More like replace Atlassian Bamboo. I've had traumatic experiences with sleek CIs. To me it's like the Scratch "programming language". Good for beginners, and then you find yourself wanting to copy/paste your workflow or make any sort of involved change and having to rewrite everything in a Jenkinsfile.

Now, I'd like to be wrong. But I doubt a UI can get close to plain text for this kind of thing, it's just very difficult for software to translate boxes into code.

Until then, there's a reason our tooling is text-based to this day.

And it works for me on both Firefox and Chromium, uBlock disabled. I can't find the function in the HTML either. Was it just removed?

Or maybe you don't get capitalism. It's not about selfishness or not wanting to lose money, it's about pushing others to work harder. Think of UBI as the other extreme, discouraging people to work for their own good when we'll have automation. Right now though, we need productivity, and we achieve that through capitalism.

Money is a zero sum game, otherwise we could just print as much as we could. We're only as rich as others around us work hard for us. Granted, we live in a crony capitalist society so it's not working that well. For example, healthcare in the US is notorious for failing to spend money wisely.

Being self-hosted and open-source?

Yes, you are slightly crazy. The whole idea of VCs is that while most startups are indeed crapshoot investments, some will make returns in the 100x.

1.5x is sometimes "good enough" but it won't keep a VC afloat if all of its investments go like that. Even 2x means that you only get to invest twice and fail once. And forget about profits or a living wage.

Yep, the key figure in this piece is the CEO owning 45% of stock. Hard to beat in any vote.

Technically, by producing a product with value for the wealthy, and redistributing its money to poorer employees. In short, capitalism. And you'd be using it as intended.

You say that like verbal toxicity is bad. I like a good civil argument, there's nothing better for insight that thought-provoking discourse. And nothing worse than everybody repeating how much they agree with each other (nothing wrong with agreeing, it's just pointless in this context).

Excellent initiative. However, I wish you had adopted some more compact and minimalistic system like https://www.simplemachines.org/ (also FOSS). I think the compactness is a big reason of the success of Reddit and HN with the tech crowd. UX people be damned, we don't like wasted space.

There's another angle to this: people are way too sensitive. If they can't take honest negative feedback we'll end up with the current trend of everyone faking being nice to everyone else.

I'm happy the Internet lets us to be so honest and have a break from real life where no real argument takes place anymore because it has become bad social behavior.

You can enable drag-and-drop in the Window Buttons panel Item. As for Indicator, yeah, it's a bit of a mystery. But I don't think much is missing there.

Other examples of missing stuff: - Complex shortcuts: you can't set keyA and also keyA+keyB as shortcuts work on keyPress rather than keyRelease. So no SuperKey and also SuperKey+L/D/R and such. - Easy window resize: the dragging thing is exactly 1 pixel wide. Gotta use Alt+Right-click to resize.

But you get used to XFCE's tiny quirks, it really gets like heaven after some work.

Hardened kernel (e.g Coppherhead OS), custom open-source ROM to disable all telemetry and audit the code (among others), FOSS APK provider (f-droid), disabling online tracking (AdAway, AFWall), full filesystem access. iPhone hardly has any of this.

Note that this is true of any bootloader-unlocked Android phone, not just security-focused ones.

My Android phone (and most recent Android phones I know) completely locks USB data, including from devices that had previously been granted access. You have to unlock, touch a notification and enable some file transfer option instead of "charging only". No 7 days limit, the access is denied immediately once it disconnects.

I doubt they would have received $80k+, maybe half, even in that area. And that's in addition to what they had already been paid. So that sounds about right for back wages.

Still, there's no deterrent here, you're correct. If they do again there may be real fines however.

Imagine we could choose between living miserably and never progress, or let one person die one hour earlier than they normally would and the rest would live immortally and thrive in luxury forever. I think most people would pick the latter.

Now, we're in a situation similar to this, although much much less extreme. But the point is, trade-offs exist. And this is one of them.

Problem is, most companies that need a lot of power only care about one thing - peak performance. And they tune it carefully in order to not overspend while guaranteeing minimal downtime. This means that they'll have to pretty much scale their infrastructure up by exactly 30%. That's a LOT for these big clients.

Honestly, I'd just make sure the server firewalls are super tight and not take in the future patches. At least for now.

A negative result is also considered knowledge: rejecting or disproving the null hypothesis is usually valuable. Tom Scott just did a video on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOJnOCdBr4s

So a bioweapon might not satisfy this criteria. Besides it probably violates other laws, and is thus still illegal.

Absolutely. The whole ordeal reminds me awfully of Ajit Pai's tone as he kills net neutrality, sounding as if everything was fine until net neutrality came along.

Although different, this too brushes off this one instance as a mistake, and entirely disregards the rest of the article, not even trying to address or explain the rest of Mozilla's recent borderline malicious behavior.

A serious fork is long overdue, if only it didn't take a corporation as big as Mozilla to undo their bad deeds.

Who is "them"? And who will pay the enormous lawsuit bills for the thousands of cases? And are there enough lawyers in the world to fight every obvious patent? Enlighten us.

Sadly, I don't think the devs have much of a voice anymore. Corporate and upper management have taken over, as shown by the various SJW and usability debacles.

I'm always concerned of this happening to other large-scale independent FOSS projects. Special interests tend to take over without some benevolent dictator.

Or root and AdAway if you're looking to block them in other apps as well.

Then forget about it. Keepass2 and KeepassXC (depending on your OS) are the best of the best.

Are you sure about that? You do know most organizations will implement that as a huge amount of bureaucracy for every commit, rather than proper man-hours of security-oriented development.

Yeah, what's up with that? Is it going to download one of these every time? That's awful!

More importantly, they forced the old operators to play nice: they can't try too hard to retain customers, they can't lower their prices too much, etc. Absolute control is a strong component of Israeli regulation (transports, broadband, cellular, gas...)

Good thing we can max out all the good genes. I suppose it will have secondary effects but in small steps it should work.

I don't think there's much better out there, these days. Seems like Canada, continental Western Europe and Scandinavia are the best modern countries. Maybe I'll also return to France these days, or try Quebec.

We've been doing it for decades.

All transactions between 1970 and 1999 have/will now occur between 2038 and 2068.
