All anti-money laundering regulations cracks down on human rights.

Anyone who opened a crypto account with a regulated brokerage was abused.

If your right to property was respected they couldn't force you to spend extra time and money to exercise it, or limit how you can exercise it.

It's a matter of scope and degree. If government doesn't like you, you get a VIP treatment.

4.1. Pros §

4.1.1 you can roll back changes if something went wrong.

4.1.2 transactional-updates allows you to keep the system running correctly during packages changes.

Last time I needed to roll back was OpenSSL in Ubuntu 18.04 and that was on one system.

I don think I've ever had a problem that 4.1.2 solves.

I don't want to have yet another Linux OS to solve a problem that happens once a decade.

If I wanted an immutable OS, I'd use a container OS on which I'd run apps as containers. Oh, wait, I already have that.

The best way to not get long Covid is to not get Covid, and the best way to not get Covid is to be well vaccinated and boosted and have a good level of antibodies to stop the virus getting in.

I know people who got multiple jabs and have had Covid-19 several times already. These suggestions are useless.

in those breakthrough cases in the vaccinated people, your chance of long Covid is further reduced perhaps by another 50 percent.

If it's reduced by only 50%, with Long Covid being so rare I'd rather take my chances and remain unvaccinated!

Insightful... not.

If Elon cared about maximizing ROI on that 44 BN, he wouldn't have bought Twitter.

Btw the amount of damage done to the cults of DIE, ESG, climate, globalism, and statism since last November has been multiple times greater, and done completely on Elon's dime. I really appreciate that. If the US Gov knew this beforehand I think they would have done something to prevent it.

Garbage "analysis".

Heavy users I follow tweet more than 3 times a day.

The problem wasn't a biased liberal algorithm, it was that their tweets are no good.

No, it was a biased algo that's still being removed (as recently as 2-3 weeks ago they discovered another throttle which was impacting many users, including Elon).

The main problem is that all centralized platforms have to deal with government-mandated censorship in large markets such as the EU, which kills content and engagement and also negatively impacts paying users (because despite the payment, their content still gets shadow-banned). That's not Twitter's fault, but they're relatively more impacted than social networks that focus on art and have no political content.

Far from it, sequential IO optimization isn't dead.

Sequential reads need to be optimized to produce optimal performance for selected workload. That usually means applying a lower level of inline compression.

In some cases deduplication works better before, in other after, compression. Sometimes post-process dedupe is more suitable than inline.

Then there's erasure coding and data protection methods that are still being optimized for NVMe with sequential workloads, including random workloads which are being sequentialized to work better with latest flash media.

I would even say developments in sequential IO are becoming more important than random IO.

Signatures don't validate, I guess I'll pass for now.

David Friedman's work on this topic is interesting, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PnkC7CNvyI for example.

I think courts would be private as well, and you'd live in a jurisdiction of your choice.

I also think that jurisdictions that didn't enforce court orders from other jurisdictions would be black-listed by those jurisdictions. Furthermore, individuals from a black-listed jurisdiction would be stigmatized in, or barred from entering the jurisdiction that couldn't obtain their cooperation.

There has to be a cost attached to unreasonably uncooperative behavior.

Saying the human “created” the content is a bit of a stretch. The people who created ChatGPT have absolutely no idea what it is going to say to any given prompt. The human creates the function but has limited control over the output.

They need to have an idea. They own its output.

A manager doesn't know what an employee may do, but he's responsible for their work as if he did it himself.

sneak's comment is spot on.

There's censorship, but it's mostly legal (we'll see of the Deep State gets away with what they've been doing).

There are alternatives, they are just not convenient.

There are no monopolies except for governmental - that's where the game is rigged the most.

All those Mastodon people said they were going to "leave" Twitter and now they're crossposting...

Since you haven't left and don't want to leave, I suggest you build a Twitter Mastodon cross-poster and solve the problem!
