Like I said: it can be gamed to some degree, but what system can’t?
- Comment on The Future of Forums is Lies, I Guess 2 weeks ago:
Besides trying to find better ways at recognizing bots, we also need to invent ways that make it quicker to recognize “false alarm, this user is in all likelihood legit”.
For example, users should have the possibilities to pin posts and comments to their profile, and I suggest that users have at least two different ‘tabs’ in their profile for this: One tab just for the usual “posts / comments you would like other people to see”, but another tab for “some recent, complex interactions between you and other (established) users that in your eyes make it quite clear you’re not a bot”. The purpose is simply to save others, worried about you being a bot, some time of going through your posts in search of signs of humanity. Yes, this can be gamed to some degree (what can’t?). However, at a technical level, the feature is just a copy of the “pin” feature would be very nice to have anyways, so we can get an appreciable improvement in our ability to tell users from bots for very little programming effort.

Love it. Under text editors, would you like to add Helix? It’s much like (n)vim, but among many other aspects it has better discoverability of features (although several key features like plugins and code folding are still missing).
- Comment on Fellow Linkwarden users, how do you deduplicate bookmarks in your link collection? 5 weeks ago:
Me neither, but since it’s about operating on external files, one can likely use procedure that’s more or less the same.

Oddly enough, this guy Wolfram Weimer a die-hard right-winger. So I was quite flabbergasted when I first read the headline, and still am doubting whether he really intends to follow through with this or rather is only floating this idea so as to introduce another bargaining chip in the trade negotiations with Trump.

Thought: There should be a federated system for blocking IP ranges that other server operators within a chain of trust have already identified as belonging to crawlers.
(Here’s an advantage of Markov chain maze generators like Nepenthes: Even when crawlers recognize that they have been served garbage and delete it, one still has obtained highly reliable evidence that the IPs that requested it do, in fact, belong to crawlers.)

I dont want to drink water from govt owned companies because at that point it truly is authoritarian simply because the govt has way too much power over your life
Been drinking tap water straight from government-owned companies for decades
Still, though, you’re right that the question of the state not owning everything is a very serious one that needs to be addressed.
What are your thoughts on cooperatives, libertarian socialism, or anarchist communism?

Regardless of the details of this particular case, let’s appreciate that, with this development at the horizon, now is the time to really try to get tech workers unionized. (It’s always been the time, of course, but whatever.)

People with your attitude are a significant reason why people decide against Linux. It’s doing Microsoft a service.

Why doesn’t it have more jpeg? That’s the real question here.
(The answer is: I was lazy and just took the image as I found it somewhere else.)

Talking of bait, am I the only one who thinks that this proposed bill is just a red herring to distract from much more tangible stuff that Republicans are doing right now?
