Strangly said but really they are just saying focus on the problem not the person.

Not sure why you need to convince anyone. Sure you like to run a team by concensus but that is not always possible. Some times you just have to make the call or run it up the chain to have some VP make the call and get people in line.

No. There was talk of it and moving to a different software. During the big reddit exodus Lemmy became unmanagable in terms of sane moderation.

What did happen is Beehaw defederated from some instances that were the worst offenders. Sadly, a few of them were fairly large.

There is also the mission of Beehaw of being a safe space which makes modertion more difficult. Beehaw was never intended to be for everyone where everything goes.

So how does one fix? Revert?

Just curious, never used immutable distro but have considered.

Yes. My mom is 97 and her health is such she will probably make 102. Humans have been known to live a bit over 122 though rare.

My mom was born in the 20s and so as long as she is around and others like her it seems premature. So give it at least another decade probably two.

There is always a good argument for symplicity and AI is not simple and has uncertain security.

Similar thing with IDEs and editors when coding. I have always prefered an editor except when the IDE does exactly what I want which is often not the case.

I am much more worried that AI will take resources away from the general public and make fascism and authoritainism much easier and cheaper to sustain.

I am not sure why Ubuntu installed on hardware in a media center box is not fine. Just use a wireless keyboard and track ball combo. Stream with any web browser. Very simple. We have done this for 20 years.

GrapheneOS on Pixel Phones. Do not install google play services. Then uٌse Fdroid and the Aurora store apps.

If you need google play, isolate that anُd the apps that need it in a separate area like the private space or a sepatate user.

Yes. History and adoption matter.

Python as glue is absolutely a use. The big advantage of Python is that it also has a broad range of use and expands what a single developer can do in cases where time and cost of development is more important then code efficiencey and long term support. Basically quick often throwaway apps to get something done.

Edit: Python is a good alternative to say tcl, perl, R, matlab, VB, etc.

You generally do no write Python for speed though generally the apeed is good enough. You write it for minimal effort of coding plus libraries. Why do people use Matlab ҄and R, same.

Python is slow often 1% of the speed of a fully parallelized and vectorized C app compiled specifically for your architecture. There are ways to improve speed like libraries, PyPy, numba, etc of course but often theٌse are application specific and do not always give the performance you might think. I love Python, but for speed it is not the best.

Of course, Python. Just look at the TIOBE language popularity index. The top languages all have some rational for use. Not so popular have less reasons to use or just narrower application range. See https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/ .

I am saying it is our winner take all society that over values a few at the expense of the many. The existance of the prize is a good example in itself.

The idea that credit is so important is an artifact of the system. Sharing is its own reward. Most so called inventions and discoveries are things that others have already done or will do anyway but get no credit for. This is from someone who has published peer reviewed papers and has many patents. I still believe the credit issue is largely bullshit. The exception is that yes you kind of have to play the game to work the system and it is important for that reason.

I especially like his pragmatism. Lot of that is just obvious stuff that makes sense.

Knowledge cannot be stollen. That concept is human fabrication. Knowledge is meant to be shared and once share is flow freely.

The Girls school issue. This is simple. The Iran war was in most aspects rushed, unplanned, unwise, and impulsive. This is about leadership.

The problem. You cannot lie to an agent, but you can remain silent. Your also taking an action with a known consequence and an action that is not allowed.

This is not mysterious. You do not have to unlock your phone if it uses a password which is something you know, but you cannot delete your data. This has always been a well known rule.
