Yes, time too.

🤯 That gave me pause. What made you ask (would non-FOSS even be an option for anything ActivityPub)?

I, too, am often pissed at clickbaity, exaggerated, deliberately ambiguous headlines.

The subtitle makes it clear though: this is about ActivityPub, which has grown into the #1 federation protocol I guess.

It’s not like it’s impossible for such people to vote, but getting your documents in order costs money.
Same for voting on a weekday, voting offices being only in affluent neighbourhoods, voting demanding an ID …

No money, no democracy.

Death by a thousand cuts. Each issue by itself might evoke a shrug, but put it all together, a very clear picture emerges.

BTW (and I’m sure you know) this has been going on for waaaay longer than MAGA. Arguably since the USA’s independence. Every conservative president seems to have added a little bit. The system is near completely eroded.

I get it, esp. in a professional environment.

But “Schrödinger’s data” rubs me the wrong way. The point OOP’s making is not a question of whether the data is there or not, it’s a question of whether you can restore a botched system with a few commands and in a realistic amount of time.

Case in point: I (private person, private system) never needed to fully restore, knock on wood. But the data is there - I have (manually) restored single files or directories on a few occasions.

Yeah we’re going to see much more of this moving forward. Yesterday i installed Linux for a friend and they asked about fixing problems. I told them to always look at the date & compatibility when they search for solutions. They then volunteered: “and I guess I can always ask ChatGPT, it’s pretty good with these things”. I grunted non-committally.

Even they aren’t that brazen.

It’s a “trust me bro” number that the commenter can later dismiss with “well it wasn’t precise, but you get my point, and if you don’t it’s you who’s boneheaded, not me”

Same on 2 browsers 🤷

edit: Tor-Browser did it.

I looked at pocket planners, there’s a lot. Looking particularly for calendars created by small companies or associations, often with a cultural or political background.

[…] has nearly a billion daily active users.

So has Facebook, or opioids.

Your point is invalid.

I also hate the term AI.
And I’m not sure about the actual code either.

Yeah a lot of what many think of typical internet stuff is just a new turbocharged edition of what has existed for much longer IRL.

Sorry for unsolicited advice, but:

It’s usually about consequences. At that age, they react to actions much more than to words.

And more generally, they need to learn that words have meaning, too. There’s way too many parents who just lazily shout “KEVIIIN, STOP THAT!” without any sort of follow-up. Not saying you do that though.

I ended up finding calendars.com

That redirects to www.calendarclub.co.uk for me. Maybe because I’m in Europe?

It’s not as much fun, though.

That’s the ultimate price we all pay for having this marvelous internet. (The internet is fun though)

I’m not generally disagreeing with your assessment of the current situation, just a little historical BTW.

in the Internet age, we have other, non-advertising ways to spread information (i.e. specs and reviews),

Interesting, I never thought of it that way.

However, most of that is still part of advertising; producers proactively strive to get reviewed.

Yes. Available on YT in decent quality.

Yeah this. Imagine Brenda hovering over you, pointedly checking the time.

This reads like someone collecting momentum to fire OOP anyhow.

The fact that he’s communicating his misfortune openly to a stranger kinda speaks against him being an asshole. I’ll give him the benefit and take that ride.

“I think with February, it really starts with heightened time awareness around that reduced execution bandwidth.”

🤣
