The recent excitement surrounding Thread's arrival on the Fediverse is concerning. To understand why this is not a good idea, consider their economic interest in harvesting data, their poor moderation, and their manipulations. Nothing good can come from their federation. Don't roll out the red carpet for them.

Dropbox was caught enabling "Third-party AI" as an opt-out default to all user accounts.
Meanwhile users were deeply uninformed of the changes..

This is our new world: If your privacy matters, keep your data yours!

Our friends @arstechnica explore the debacle:

I wrote about the AI trust crisis: when companies like Dropbox and OpenAI say "we won't train models or your private data", it's increasingly clear that a lot of people simply don't believe them.

Last week I finished my fake/example/reference linux #UnifiedPush distributor written in rust.
This week I started at looking into implementing a distributor with ntfy.sh, I am currently unsure about integrating into an existing app like Notify or building a separate application.
You can find my progress here: gitlab.com/j0dev/rust/up_ntfy_…
I am also looking into a DBus api to manage/configure a distributor for integration into desktop environments like #Gnome / #Phosh.

With SpaceX not getting the FCC grant for Starlink, the California false advertising law affecting Tesla, Twitter financial woes, Musk’s disdain for any criticism or legal restraints, etc. — every time I see a story about a SpaceX delay for a US military project I wonder if it is SpaceX being petulant and punishing the government (or trying to leverage its role for more cash).

Been watching a discussion on the Hacker News thread about Ubuntu's recent decision to stop using GCC's -fomit-frame-pointer flag, to reserve the x86-64 %rbp register for use as a frame pointer. The upside is improved debuggability and observability (e.g. profiling). The downside is a minor, possibly inconsequential, performance hit. This subthread is particularly interesting: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3… I wonder what @bcantrill and @ahl think, given their work on DTrace.
in reply to Matt Campbell

On one side, exemplified by the originator of the thread and another comment (news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3…), we seem to have righteous indignation about hurting performance even a little bit for the vast majority of users, just to make life easier for a few developers. On the other side we have the usual cliche about premature optimization, but also actual data about the actual performance impact and a calm analysis of the trade-off, including from Brendan Gregg.

@bcantrill @ahl

in reply to Matt Campbell

What I'll call the "righteous indignation" side is, I think, rooted in an attitude toward software inefficiency/bloat that I've often seen, and have sometimes espoused myself. We think that inefficiency or bloat in software is largely an accumulation of small waste, so to fight inefficiency in the large, we have to fight any particular source of waste we can identify. The frame pointer is a source of waste that can be eliminated with a simple compiler flag, so, it has to go.

@bcantrill @ahl

in reply to Matt Campbell

I wonder if this might be a worthwhile topic of discussion on Oxide and Friends. It could be presented as a case in point of values coming into tension. Or maybe in this case, everyone is really pursuing the same goal, performance, but one side (as exemplified by Brendan Gregg's comment) is calmly evaluating data and tradeoffs, while the other side is fueled by righteous indignation about a real problem, while possibly being misguided about how to solve it.

Hey ! We're pleased to announce that Ltt.rs [1], an email (JMAP) client, and Mercurygram [2], a new fork of #Telegram, now support #UnifiedPush. And support is being upstreamed to Telegram-FOSS :)

In ancient Greece, puns were no joke. They were word magic.

Drew a silly little comic based on a meme I saw the other day.

@jeffcliff No, that's not the current version. The current version of LibreOffice is 7.6. As the post to which you're replying already says, from the next major release (in February) we're moving to a "year.month" version scheme – like many other projects use – to make it clear to users how old/new their software is.

I like this recipe - a dal paste filling for cabbage rolls that are steamed, then sliced, then fried. This method of steaming then frying is very common in #IndianFood (particularly snacks), and also very delicious.

bawarchi.com/recipe/cabbage-pa…

#SabitaRadhakrishna in her book #Annapurni, has a similar recipe, but she makes a ground lentil mixture (chana dal, toor dal and urad dal), and mixes in cabbage, onions, chillies and coriander, After steaming, it is cut into squares and fried for snacks, or the unfried squares can be used in any vegetable curry.

The weird disconnect in a debate about whether public health is "becoming" illiberal.

My latest post @PLOS .... In which I guess it would be fair to say some shots were fired.

in reply to Hilda Bastian

Interesting article. I find the framing a bit weird, mostly in taking for granted that a liberal public health is a good thing. Considering that liberalism is primarily an individualist stance, and public health is all about the higher order social effects of things, my immediate instinct is to say, well, of course, shouldn't it?

I read somewhere, though cannot find an adequate citation--so it could be a complete misunderstanding--that for example British naval authorities believed a lot of Mediterranean public health practices to be superstitious and contrary to the freedom of navigation and trade, and so in the name of liberal values, they attempted to undermine them. It reminds me of the sorts of Covid-related commerce versus safety clashes we've been having for the last few years.
