Re:The new chief chaplain at Harvard is an atheist on Sunday August 29, 2021 @10:30AM (#28346992)

So you are virtually underground...kind of like some religious groups persecuted in countries (Hindus in Pakistan, Christians in China under the CCP).

Agree, that this is the best strategy for now. The good news is, like everything else, the "woke" religion is also impermanent.

Yes and they should consider doing that. After all, Trump supporters may drive their Civic to the Capitol. Our democracy dies in darkness!!!

Re:Notes on Living in Los Angeles on Monday August 23, 2021 @06:13PM (#28282671)

Well, the article was about LA and not "many places".

No, I have not visited but I have seen and heard enough to stay away. Maybe win/win!

Re:Notes on Living in Los Angeles on Monday August 23, 2021 @05:41PM (#28282352)

> And what about the homless population? Yes it is a problem that there are so many unhoused people. But is it really surprising that they would congregate in a city with such mild weather and access to social services? Do they not also have a right to live their lives?

Sure. It is a "free" country after all. I have no dog in the fight since I am not in the US and do not intend to visit LA any time soon (maybe in the 70s I would have).

All I am doing is, pointing out the reality of LA.

Maybe. Maybe only on the big-tech "major" platforms. There will likely be a pushback, specially from the "blockchain/crypto" world on pseudonymity [0]

Re:Jeff Bezos Claimed $4k in Tax Credits for His Children on Thursday June 10, 2021 @04:27PM (#27465343)

I am not a fan of Bezos - in fact the opposite.

However, in this case, does Bezos do his own taxes or pay someone and say "optimize my taxes" and they do their job?

Re:Reflections on One Year as the CEO of Mozilla on Sunday April 11, 2021 @09:22PM (#26775256)

I disagree with your assessment. I will illustrate why by using 2 specific points from the linked post:

1. From the post: "Changing these dangerous dynamics requires more than just the temporary silencing or permanent removal of bad actors from social media platforms.

Additional precise and specific actions must also be taken: [...]"

My interpretation of the above is that they support deplatforming ("silencing or permanent removal") AND "additional actions".

2. They mention "white supremacy". I believe that is a false premise. I am not white/of European descent. I will leave it at that since this is going OT.

Re:Reflections on One Year as the CEO of Mozilla on Sunday April 11, 2021 @08:00PM (#26774742)

Not only that, they do have their other priorities figured out also: https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2021/01/08/we-need-more-than-d...

I am actually glad that they came out and put that in black and white. Got me to move to another browser. (I do miss Firefox's multi-container tabs and account containers however but I will survive).

Re:The architecture behind a one-person tech startup on Thursday April 08, 2021 @10:46AM (#26739362)

Another way to do something similar would be to use Cloud Run https://cloud.google.com/run and that way you can avoid vendor lockin since you can move your manifests to another knative hosting provider or spin up your own K8s cluster and deploy knative

Congrats on the release and hope Ghost is even more successful now with all the added features.

Any idea when 3.0 will be available to self-host?
