Absolutely killing me right now to watch what’s going on in /r/worldnews re: the Gaza Strip. Absolute echo chamber of reposted IDF propaganda, genocidal rhetoric against Palestinians - all calls for peace, any contextualization or describing the history of the conflict get permabanned and muted, appeals to admins are denied as usual. Meanwhile, international observers describing the situation as an ongoing genocide. What do you call censoring a community to support that, besides “incitement to genocide”?

Site should be forever abandoned, they have lost every last shred of credibility.

It’s nuanced, but the idea that a bear would suddenly just “decide people are a threat/food” is misguided. The bottom line is it’s wilderness, the odds are very high they did something careless like surprise the bear or get between it and its cubs, which wouldn’t indicate atypical behavior on the bear’s part or suggest it’d pose extra danger in the future. Bottom line I don’t agree with the general approach of tourists wandering out in the woods, doing something careless which gets them killed, and then animals being killed indiscriminately as a result, I think it’s a very arrogant approach by people in general.

Unless it was the undead polar bear from Game of Thrones it probably should have been left alone.

Well, there’s having to put an unconstitutional demand violating the 1st/4th amendments on paper and sending it out to a company, and then there’s just being able to log in as the admin and look for the information directly. Anyway, when I say “public good”, I mean in a pretty loose sense, I prefer to see actual maintenance/management done by something like a non-profit rather than a gov agency.

I was about to write something in my comment to the effect of, “but let’s not even talk about the government running it”. Could end up like PBS, could just as easily end up like USSR/North Korean/Chinese media. Imagine Reddit but, instead of spez, it’s Joseph McCarthy, or Donald Trump, with the power to identify and criminally sanction users.

The only really long term viable model is a donation model. Ad tracking is abusive and the legality is waning, and subscription models for what’s basically a public good are fucked.

When you do a job for someone and they only pay you in “exposure”

Well, because the U.S. is a police state, with a military stranglehold on the planet, and the invasions were predicated on an event with uh, let’s say, suspicious circumstances, that was engraved into the national psyche as the worst crime of a generation.

Their stance is that you personally are banned for life from subs regardless of which account. Would be a real shame if your IP got changed between accounts, your cookies and local storage got cleared, and you never mentioned the old account again. You could accidentally post in a sub you got banned from, and they wouldn’t be able to helpfully re-ban you from the sub!

If you were still trying to spend time on reddit in the first place at least.

I’ve done it a fair bit and it’s actually pretty painless. If you know how to use vim you save a ton of keystrokes, which makes a big difference on mobile.

…ssh and vim?

They’re both very complex so it’s understandable people would have different experiences. In general I’ve found GCP fairly straightforward, with shitty documentation, generally good support of fundamentals, great k8s support, good prices, fairly modern APIs, and relatively low feature coverage. AWS more built out, awful & totally inconsistent UI, better feature coverage, higher prices, and some pretty janky XML APIs if memory serves.

Honestly, it’s not as bad as AWS or Azure. Plus if you use k8s it’s first-in-class support, since Google came up with k8s. There is a fairly steep learning curve though.

If you’re deploying anything in cloud infra you need to make sure it’s portable between providers. Vendor lock-in is a big avoidable no-no.

Alt-righters calling Zelenskyy corrupt and so on all day long. Look how stressed his face looks. He’s aged like 30 years since the war started.

Man it’s wild how much Twitter just went down in flames. The way you said that really just made me think, a year ago it was a wildly successful social media site with (if I got the dates right) a looming acquisition by a guy who’d shown some mild signals he was an egomaniac alt-right freak. Now it’s basically a smoldering pile of wreckage.

Love it

I’ve been noticing lately how huge blocks of residential zoning with no allowance for commercial use pretty much guarantees people are going to use cars on a daily basis. Like, need some food? Get in the car and drive several miles away.

People have a real way of finding the single most negatively-portrayable thing about a person and using it to smear their entire legacy. Post-humously. That page was written Dec 2002 according to the archive, which would make him a month over 16 years old when he wrote it. In the context of an argument in favor of having unlimited free speech, not a dedicated page on his website to “I want child pornography”.
