I’ve started the habit of using spoiler tags to collapse tangents when I go overboard at times. It makes it easier for me to scroll past, so I’d assume it’s also easier for people who aren’t actively engaging with my posts to deal with.
The crazy part is the “stripped down” was still relatively modest. She was in underwear and bra, but they covered a hell of a lot more than most people wear to the beach in a lot of the world.
SteamOS is arch, so some of the derivatives are too.
Steam shouldn’t really care though.
Seriously, clearing snow isn’t just for your visibility. It’s illegal here (and presumably other places) to leave any snow at all on your car because it will come off and is very likely to affect the visibility of another driver at high speeds.
Stopping takes longer. Drive slower; leave more space to stop.
You’d think it’s common sense, but a huge number of the accidents in winter are because people drive like idiots.
Good. Scanning everything for CSAM is one thing, but requiring platforms to scan everything uploaded for alleged copyright infringement is insane
I don’t have any specific Wikipedia article, but if you want more in depth reading material, Thinking Fast and Slow is probably the authoritative work on bias, by one of the central figures to the emergence of behavioral economics.
Misbehaving is another.
The vast majority of books I read that touch on decision making or bias cite at least one or Daniel Kahneman or Richard Thaler, and they’re both reasonably accessible. If you want something more accessible than that, Thinking in Bets covers similar ground. Annie Duke targets general audiences well, but all of her books also make her strong foundation in the field of psychology and what the research supports pretty clear.
Edit: You know what? I will pick one special one. Hindsight bias, or as Annie Duke calls it, resulting. A good decision doesn’t become a bad one when the result doesn’t work out the way you want. It is an opportunity to re-evaluate, and see if there were things you could have predicted given the information you reasonably had available at the time, but, you should do the same with decisions that work out. A good decision can result in a bad outcome and a bad decision can result in a good outcome. Make a continuous effort to improve your process, but separate the process from the results. Mortgaging your house to make a bet on the Super Bowl wasn’t genius if your team won.
Maybe, but they’re on the side of normal people here.
Court ordered mass surveillance is horseshit.
It would be a waste of time when no one would use the half ban. They’re banning users because they don’t want to serve whatever they’re posting.
Run your own instance or join a permissive one if you don’t want your instance to moderate trash away.
What you’re describing is a massive downgrade, and also massively adds to the legal exposure of hosting an instance, because you’re serving everything any user of your instance sees. Being able to block bad actors isn’t really an optional feature. You’re effectively asking for your instance to be forced to serve you abusive content.
That’s the entire point of bans.
You don’t want to have to manually block all the spammers and shit posters a decent instance is taking care of for you.
Windows UX sucks. But that has nothing to do with what he’s talking about, which is the programs running on Windows.
100% of the reason Photoshop dominates GIMP for market share is because GIMP is the worst designed pile of shit anyone has ever made. It doesn’t matter that it’s theoretically as capable, because the UX is a crime against humanity and makes the barrier to entry insurmountable. Blender is extremely powerful, and finally with 4.0 made a dent in how bad the UX is. But it’s still far, far worse than the competition.
I want FOSS to be an actual choice people actually use, but it cannot possibly happen if the UX isn’t actually designed for normal people to be able to figure it out. That’s why proprietary software wins. They lower the mental barrier to entry to use their software, and FOSS doesn’t even try to. I can’t tell people “just use GIMP”, or libreoffice, or whatever, because they’ll open it up, realize that there hasn’t even been 5 minutes of UX design cumulatively in its entire lifespan, and tell me to fuck myself for suggesting trash to them.
If FOSS doesn’t actually pay attention to UX, there’s no possible path to mass adoption. People want shit to make sense.
The primary way most proprietary software stays around is because of how they do not follow standards and conventions for layout, nomenclature, and interfaces; trying to prevent users from migrating to free software that follows published standards. If you migrate to free and open source software, aspects like UI/UX are much more user centric.
Except this is nonsense. Full on dumpster fire UX is the biggest liability most OSS has. It is not user friendly, and assumes way more user knowledge to do the basics.
If FOSS actually was competitive on UX, let alone better, it would be far more popular.
He does say that “everyone has one persona they don’t see through”…
Maybe that’s the audience’s.
Again, you have to completely ignore that the core premise is evil intended to give big players even stronger monopoly control. It’s anti-free in every sense, and as an added bonus, would very certainly make possession of specific hardware sufficient to be executed in some countries, because everything it has ever captured would be tracked to it.
But if you do that, there is already a system that does exactly what you’re asking. You don’t need to invent anything. It’s certificate authorities.
I’m not actually trying to be an asshole, though I’m sure I’m coming off as one. But the only thing blockchain actually does is validate transactions. It’s a shared ledger.
I am well aware of what it is. It serves no purpose and provides no benefit.
Ignoring the fact that hardware signing doesn’t validate inputs as “real”, because it’s entirely possible to replicate the actual signals entering the camera, and the fact that the entire premise by definition would be a terrible power grab by big hardware/software tools, the very obvious way to implement such an approach would be the exact same system as certificate authorities. You have to have actual root certificate signers.
Blockchain is horseshit and serves no purpose.
I’m genuinely terrible at not falling for sunk costs and have a bad habit of just letting inertia take me.
But unless you’re offering me 100k a week (in which case I’ll work for maybe a month before burning out), I’m not working a fucking 80 hour week.
Unprompted, they all commented that “yeah, this is a start-up so we’re expected to work 80 hour weeks. That’s just how it is.”
lol I’m walking out the minute they say that.
The outcome of your actions isn’t in a theoretical world.
You absolutely would be behaving unethically In that scenario, because you took an action that you knew, with absolute certainty, could only result in either no impact at all, or in making a monster president. There is no theoretical outcome where your action is capable of doing good, and there is a potential outcome where your action does extreme harm.
