Yup, exactly

Absolutely crazy how this went down. The impeachment vote needs a 2/3rds supermajority to pass. So 200 out of the 300 seats. The Government’s party controls 108 seats to 192 others, so they only needed 8 government Members needed to defect for it to pass. Party discipline would naturally keep people in line, but this vote is anonymous, so a small number could very easily defect without getting disciplined.

So, rather than risk that, the People Power’s official stance was that they would abstain from the vote by leaving the building.

The opposition says they will resubmit this motion every week until either it succeeds or Yoon steps down.

Note that there’s a severe vulnerability that was only patched very recently in 7zip. I’ve seen recommendations to fully uninstall it and then reinstall the latest version.

Either that or it’s “actually Tibetan culture is all paedos” or some other racist generalisations.

Sorry, but did you just say that reality is “a conservative social construct”?

Yeah, there’s a reason I added that clarifying second sentence. To be a little more nuanced (but still overly simplistic because I don’t feel like writing an enormous essay right now), I would say you don’t have any expectation of privacy by default in public, but that anything that might reasonably amount to stalking because it’s targeted tracking of an individual, even if it involves footage of someone in public, is certainly not ok.

Yeah well said. UX just isn’t developers’ area of expertise, so they’re naturally not going to develop with it at the forefront of their minds. It needs to come down from the organisation caring about and hiring (or engaging on a voluntary basis) people who are actual UX experts that can work with developers to deliver an excellent user experience.

5 years ago, a YouTuber, musician, and UX designer who goes by Tantacrul made a comedic but accurately scathing review of the design flaws of popular open-source music notation software MuseScore. (He had previously done similar to closed-source Sibelius, and would later address Dorico.) By the end of the year, MuseScore had hired Tantacrul to head up their design team and he eventually oversaw the design and development of a completely new major revision of MuseScore with a professional team of developers. He also had a big part in Audacity’s more recent development, since Muse Group also owns that.

That’s one open source project that clearly really highly values a good user experience. They’re lucky though. It’s relatively easy for them to fund this because the open source software is a keystone element to their paid subscription web service with a very vibrant community of contributors. Not all open source has that.

OP already is, apparently.

Al the Age of Empires games, apart from AoE1 DE, are excellent.

In classic Microsoft style, “Xbox” doesn’t necessarily mean the console. It’s also the name of their gaming service and the store you can use to buy games on Windows.

I don’t even care about the privacy aspect per se. Phone number as user ID is a crappy UX that fundamentally does not work when international travel, multiple devices, or needing to get a number changed. It also doesn’t work for shared accounts or people who might want multiple identities.

Some of these relate to privacy, secondarily, but my primary concern is the UX.

There is no expectation of privacy in public.

By which I mean that things like blurring a house from Street View are unreasonable.

Kyle the Scott. A Scottish cisman with a kinda effeminate voice who once did a dramatic shirt rip to prove he is in fact cis, in the middle of a half hour essay about why it shouldn’t even matter and “transvestigations” are bullshit.

But his normal schtick is media criticism, covering franchises like Star Wars, Halo, and Assassin’s Creed. They’re just genuinely good reviews that aren’t afraid to get into the politics where appropriate (including explicitly rejecting some of the more popular bigoted takes) but honestly feel it’s about the way that particular lens affects the media, rather than being an end into itself.

The repository in Git isn’t on the server, it’s on your local machine.

I understand the impulse to be empathetic and kind. But it’s very hard to respond in good faith to someone who just made a post where more than half the words are “fuck you”.

No, that brings painful war flashbacks.

So, there are a few different categories of TLDs. com, net, and org are among the original generic TLDs, which had the ideas of being for specific types of site, but in practice have always been available for pretty much any purpose.

Then there are country-code TLDs, your au, ca, and tv domains. In these, the registrar of that particular country sets the rules. au domains require some specific connection to Australia, while Tuvalu has seen it as a good source of income for the country to sell .tv domains to sites that want to have a domain that recognises their primary purpose as relating to video.

In 2012, ICANN opened up the ability to buy new TLDs with almost no restrictions beyond the minimum 3 character length. Though technically com, net, org, etc. are considered generic TLDs, when you see people say gTLD they almost always mean those created under this new scheme. Examples include zone (which my instance runs on), new (owned by Google and restricted to people who use it to perform “new” actions, like Google’s own docs.new which creates a new Google Doc), and tokyo (intended for use by things related to Tokyo, but not restricted to such. Other city gTLDs also exist, like melbourne which restricts to businesses and citizens of Victoria). gTLDs are very expensive to create, but whoever owns the gTLD can choose what rules it applies to domains registered under it.

So if you want a domain name that calls to a particular thing, you can find a gTLD that matches that thing and is open for registration for your purpose, or you can spend big to register a gTLD for yourself, or find a ccTLD that’s open to those outside the actual country and which fits your purpose.

Mali’s a weird one because the reports were that .ml domains not related to Mali were being restricted last year, and fmhy.ml lost their domain over that. So it’s weird that lemmy.ml did not.

Except it does stand for that in this context. It’s like saying “the TV in twitch.tv doesn’t stand for television, it’s Tuvalu”, like, yes the ccTLD tv is Tuvalu’s, but twitch wouldn’t have chosen that TLD if it weren’t for the “coincidence”.
