Uno changes the rules every few years so that people have different ideas of which “house rules” are canon. Being “the game that people argue over” keeps it in the public consciousness much better than “that game that’s kind of fun to play two rounds of occasionally”

I’m unfortunately very familiar with this kind of “technically a stand”

Content creators. It’s hard to host everyone’s videos, and it benefits monopolists to imply that doing so is necessary, as it prevents new entrants. It’s not nearly as hard to host your own server (or pay for it to be hosted). It becomes harder when you suddenly become popular, a situation which Peertube explicitly compensates for by sharing the distribution effort between viewers, which scales with popularity.

Signal makes it’s own bed like YouTube by being a single centralised server for everyone. Nobody ever asks “who pays for the servers” when it comes to Matrix or XMPP

Not precisely what you’re after but https://sepiasearch.org/

Peertube has already delivered the sustainable model: creators host their own videos and viewers assist distribution.

Monty Hall Problem, for those who know that name

For those who don’t want to open threads, it’s a link to a paper on energy efficiency of programming languages.

They deliberately removed code search for not logged in users almost immediately. Just recently they removed cloning without an account, so now updating my computer requires signing in to github.

They have been awful stewards.

Git doesn’t have a concept of a preferred repository; your local copy is exactly as valid to git as a git server hosted on github.

The originally intended workflow as I understand it involved generating patches which would be shared via a mailing list.

In practice there will generally be a repository that’s considered “canonical” for a project, whether that’s the one on the computer of the lead maintainer or some hosted solution.

A basic git server is essentially just a repository owned by a restricted user with SSH access granted to maintainers.. This can allow users to push and pull from a centralised or semi-centralised repository in much the same way as GitHub.

It supports other hardware including more “embedded” systems. I’ve run it on a RasPi clone and on an F4 Clone

I’m not 100% confident I’ve understood the assignment, but I’ve been playing with a couple of app frameworks in rust that target the Web that might be of interest to you.

Dioxus - Reactive framework. Document markup is html with its own syntax, styling is CSS but all scripting is rust. Cross platform (web, android, ios [xcode required], linux, mac, windows) but using webviews for all of those, definitely Web first.

slint - Reactive framework again, has its own Domain Specific Language (DSL) for markup that’s not too distant from an html/css hybrid. Simple scripting can be done in the DSL but it also ties trivially into the rust side. This does its own rendering rather than generating html documents or using a webview, I believe even when targeting the web (via wasm).

Tauri - Gets brought up a lot when talking about web apps in rust, but I haven’t dug into it.

If looking into any of these sounds like the sort of thing you might be after, then I suggest having a scroll through AreWeGuiYet for other rust GUI frameworks. If I remember correctly, a significant fraction of those target web technologies, althought the filters on that website have never been all that useful.

I think you’re missing some key parts of the Star Trek lore. America didn’t peacefully evolve into the Federation. Earth wasn’t able to get past it’s self destructive tendencies until after World War III, a conflict so devastating that 30% of the Earth’s population was killed. My knowledge is more fuzzy on this, but I don’t think the American empire survived WWIII as an entity.

Also we have images of black holes.

“Hacky install methods” like… installing an official package from a package repository like every other piece of Linux software?

Bad title.

how did we get to a point where every creator is limited to one box?

US Antitrust has been asleep for decades, and as soon as it opened one bleary eye the oligarchs took over the government.

Some of this is the fault of the design of Word. Even modern versions have direct formatting in the Home tab, to the left (chronologically “before” for people used to left-to-right paradigms) of the styles box. The styles box itself becomes rapidly less accessible if the window is not full sized.

If they moved direct formatting to a formatting tab, had a more focused concept of styles, and possibly repurposed some of the direct formatting buttons for quick style application, people would use them a lot more reliably without any training.

Material from breaches shows that during a portion of this period, she used the same password across multiple email addresses and online accounts, in contravention of well-established best practices for online security. (There is no indication that she used the password on government accounts.)

This is… not interesting
