I'm into it. All of the news is bad news for him and I love it. It's like a house burning for a year and I just like checking in on it every few days.

Just curious, what are the biggest features that you feel Darktable lacks? I use it occasionally but haven't noticed any huge gaps from LR.

I heard about the bill a few weeks ago on The Daily. Shortly after I was on LinkedIn and noticed that some of the devs from my company and a company that mine contracts with would only list a last initial. It made me wonder if the reason for that was because of caste discrimination.

It really brings us down to their level when we use words like trumptard or magatard. Take the high road and stick to calling them hypocritical idiots.

Sorry, but Elon is about 40 billion in the red compared to this guy so I think he's got Unity bosses beat by a lot.

I agree with the other commenter that it sounds a bit like the Fediverse. It's interesting to think about. I think part of what draws people to any messaging platform is continuity with the other services on the platform. The actual messaging experience can be duplicated or exceeded by anyone, like how RCS has made the humble text message more powerful and compatible than anyone at Apple could comprehend.

With this idea, would any messaging platform that became ultra successful be then required to allow other platforms to message their users? Which platforms are allowed? How is spam managed? What about special privacy features like what's built in to Signal or Telegram? How do the platforms manage linking to content embedded in other parts of the platform (think Instagram posts/reels/messenger).

There are a lot of difficult issues to work out.

Last I knew Google Fiber used PON. With PON a provider would not allow a subscriber to use their own equipment.

The above is important because PON is essentialy one bidirectional fiber from a central office serving dozens of customers in the field. If you plug in with something on the same wavelength you could interrupt all the other customers on your PON. In PON since your fiber is not dedicated all the way back to the CO, they would have no way to know what device was trying to connect to their access node. They would need to configure your devices Mac address similar to how DOCSIS cable internet works.

If they ARE using dedicated fibers back to the CO then that would more likely be Active Ethernet, a slightly different technology. They would probably still tell you no because of how the CPE (the box at your house) needs to be remotely configured by the access node for shapers etc.

Is it possible that you have a power issue at your house that is causing the failures?

Check me on this bit I think specifically it's a single sided 2230. They made some caution about dual sided 2230 because of clearance or airflow.

Try not to dismiss everything so quickly. I came up with those in 5 minutes but a committee of experts could find many more. When the exceptions were written they had a reason. A few examples:

• In a traffic fixture, the heat that the incandescent bulb generates often serves to melt ice, and early traffic fixtures with LEDs did have icing problems. Replacing the fixtures would represent a significant burden.

• An LED wouldn't survive in an oven and oven lights aren't on for very long either so what would it matter?

• A bulb in a refrigerator could be exposed to condensation.

• Dimmer compatible LEDs require pulse width modulated dimmers. Incandescent dimmers are often resistance dimmers.

The exception are there to make sure that a $1 part doesn't render a $1000 appliance inoperable. Replacing the appliance would undoubtedly generate a ton more carbon than using an incandescent and the rule doesn't say that LED bulbs are prohibited just that incandescent bulbs for those uses are not yet banned.

I'll also point out that LEDs are made of plastic and essentially become ewaste at the end of their life so there is a trade off to consider too.

We will be migrated off by September for sure. The price is more than tripled after the circuits were deregulated

This seems impossible, they're charging me 10k/mo for 5 T1 circuits.

They all go into my Plex server on my Synology DS220+. Plexamp (Plex pass required) is the best Android music app I've ever used. I also sync to a dedicated DAP, a Hiby R5 Gen 2.

If I were to take up physical media again, it'd almost certainly be a Sony MiniDisc player. I loved my MD
