simple lists? 50 examples and still gaping holes in the logic and no consistent implementation of lists across any 2 editors.

reminds me of when LyX became trendy with a small group of optimists.
mieses··on We Will Not Be Divided
"hostile to business".. Employees of a business playing moral philosophers, priests or policy influencers miss the entire point of business.

The employees themselves can definitely gtfo to Finland for the reason that they have an unrealistic perception of business and the world. The business itself has no obligation to pay attention to magical thinking.

mieses··on ICE expands power of agents to arrest people without warrants
he's a steamroller. and he said they would "do it by the book" or something along those lines. "dial it back" is probably coming from media.

except when Obama’s DOJ (successfully) sued Arizona to stop it from enforcing the border.
mieses··on The Jolla Phone Proved We've Been Using Smartphones Wrong All Along
why flagged? is this site politically to the right of the theverge.com?

most of the comments are dodging the point of the article and looking for unrelated strawmen to attack. ok, maybe the site has cookies. who cares? the issue is the phone not the marketing site. so that is a weak point.

overall the idea sounds good. but is Jolla open source? Can we compile it and run it on the phone?

AI will wreck your capitalized "Education System" and that is good. We'll be fine.
mieses··on Kea DHCP: Modern, open source DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 server
The use case is `ssh shortname` or `ssh shortname.lan` to a laptop on the same local network regardless whether the wired or wireless interface of the laptop is active.

An overlay like Tailscale MagicDNS might solve this but is complex.

Assigning the same name to 2 IP's (round robin DNS) will mean having to retry the ssh connection if the IP of the inactive interface is returned.

Failover bonding (mode 1) of the wireless and wired interfaces with MAC address spoofing so that the bonded interface maintains a consistent MAC address is reportedly not always supported by WiFi hardware and standards. Bonding may require manual reconfiguration when the laptop moves from the local network where "shortname" is used to an arbitrary WiFi network like airport or coffee shop.

Are there any solutions that satisfy single IP and reliable WiFi at the same time?

Linux used to be able to move the same IP between 2 interfaces depending on which was active. But it looks like advancements in Linux networking have killed this simple solution.

mieses··on Kea DHCP: Modern, open source DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 server
dnsmasq is great. The best part is that you can assign the same IP to multiple interfaces on the same device (to multiple MAC addresses) which drives network purists crazy and is no longer supported by systemd-networkd (because they are puritans). Separated DHCP/DNS can not do this. I will look into kea and whether they can do this.
mieses··on How elites could shape mass preferences as AI reduces persuasion costs
I wrote to a French pen pal and they didn't reply. Now I have issues with French people and prefer local LLM's.
mieses··on Gnome is better macOS than macOS
It's a great desktop if you don't need to print anything or use an extension for more than a year or so before API changes break the extension. Gnome works "out of the box" as long as you don't try to do anything that's not in the box. That whole expression needs to be changed to "it works in the box".

Is it true that "trust a majority" is a "good"? Or just the opinion of the majority?
mieses··on Amazon has launched a major global crackdown on Fire Stick piracy
Good. Think of the media industry. If those people weren't able to do their work for millions they'd be doing it for tens on street corners.

3000 years of philosophy or an HN post? Who the hell are you, "array_key"? Make an argument.
mieses··on Pornhub says UK visitors down 77% since age checks came in
UK wouldn't need this if their education system and culture didn't produce depraved and degenerate people, not to say anything of the ones they import. Neither the policy nerds nor Reform can fix the culture. It will come from below or not at all.

if good music is what makes you feel good in the moment then we disagree about the meaning of `good`.
