If we do end up creating a processor using this, I wonder if it will need liquid cooling.

I wonder if we could implement a decentralized version of SO. It can be a CLI app since it is used by developers only. The app can keep all question/answers of topic relevant to the developer locally. This will allow developer to find answers offline as well. Since it is only text data it should not take more than a GB.

This has happened in India previously with TikTok. Google removed the reviews to improve rating but in this case I think Google won't take any action.

> they are about propagating your thoughts ideas and knowledge to others. The emphasis of a social network is on "propagation" aka, propaganda.

That is the issue with centralization: you have no control over your feed, no control over your data, no control over discussion on your content.

On the other hand blogs/websites are all federated by design. You can control who views your content, shares your content. You control discussion on your website. You are also responsible for your content and moderation. You can also curate your own feed with RSS.

> And there has never been the incentive.

For FAANG. Instead of improving standards such as XMPP and RSS, they actively ditched them to create walled gardens..

I feel like a piece is missing in the current Internet infrastructure although I have no idea what it is.

Consider this, WhatsApp stories are not much different than personal blog but putting up stories takes few clicks while self hosting is whole new endeavor. Ideally everyone should own a blog/self host. This would solve the issues with centralization.

The problem is hosting a blog and discovering it is still not as easy as creating WhatsApp/Insta stories. Nor the users are ready to pay the price for running that blog. Centralized services solve all these problems. If some platform ever solves issues with self hosting and makes it easy to self host for minimal cost, I think we will have changed the face of Internet forever.

tl;dr We haven't achieved the required level of software/hardware abstraction for everyone to self host

And adopted the decimal calendar[0] which hopefully has fixed all the issues with current calendar.

How can both Google and Apple cannot have a single rival platform against Facebook? We do have competitors like Twitter, Telegram, Signal but none of them are from Google or Apple. If we had we could have kept Facebook in check.

Have they given up on network effect of Facebook's platforms? If they can't solve network effect problem then I wonder how much hope there is for apps like Matrix or Signal.

P.s. We do have YouTube from Google but that's an entirely different story.

Elon Musk was publicly bashing Facebook a few hours ago. We already have 3 threads on front page here. The more this bad press happens the more people become aware of Facebook's malpractices and better it is for everyone in long run.

This stunt will put WhatsApp blunder on back burner and it is exactly the kind of thing that Facebook does to spin the narrative.

Also, now this will overshadow the WhatsApp blunder. Great timing.

The folks here are quite persuasive. Once we start switching rest will follow.

Let the exodus begin!

The sooner they take such actions the better it is for everyone in the long run. Someone somewhere will come up with an alternative that is better than anything we have today. And sorry but Signal is not the pinnacle of messaging.

I like what Matrix is doing but they are far away from becoming mainstream. Within 2-3 years a new platform will rise and it will fix flaws of existing messaging apps. This will then be followed by social media but it might take another 6-7 years to fix that mess.

They maybe charging customers a penny but they offering services on top of there network and earning tons of money from it.

My bad now I tried the Ctrl+F4 and yes it works exactly the way OP said. I assumed he was talking about Alt+F4 :)

I used to do this now I just search again and occasionally I will bookmark a page that is too valuable to miss in future searches.

This keeps my bookmarks clean.

> Ctrl-F4 close them. Press and hold Ctrl, then F4 them one at a time.

Ctrl-F4 shuts down entire browser, Ctrl-W closes each tab with a press of w. This is behavior in Ubuntu and it holds true for most application windows.

This is surely going to happen. It's going to take decades but sure it will. And when this will be the norm current structure will not make any sense to that generation.

> huge amount of media/news stories driven by fear which leads to a generalized anxiety and depression about basically everything.

Are we so fragile that we can't handle the general anxiety and fear that stems from such articles. I think we humans have been having these emotions since the beginning of time. They ensured our survival in past and today we have far better techniques to manage these emotions.

The thing is fear and anxiety have been turned into hallmark of negative emotions by our society. As far as I understand those emotions are necessary for our survival. They are the pointers that something isn't working in individuals life and change is needed. Fear and anxiety throws a man into action. I think we should stop putting good/bad labels to human emotions. If they exist, they are serving some purpose. Embracing and facing them will improve the life of individuals and society as whole.

Yesterday I saw a post on Indian investment subreddit where people were discussing how they switched to Google sheets after Google finance since it allows fetching data for stocks in spreadsheets using some function.

Anyhow it doesn't seem like Google might have ditched finance for this result. Increase in sheets usage is just a side effect.

Is this the reason that countries closer to equator are suffering less than those away from it?

Thank you for sharing about hydroponics. New rabbit hole to be discovered!

But it's notifications still get through via google play services. No idea why they would allow that.

I would prefer those sensor by the side so that when the bin senses someone is near it automatically opens up eliminating the need to wave first.

Try https://osmc.tv/

Not sure if it will fulfill all your requirements though.

I have said this before. Few reasons why I prefer dumb TVs, just a flat LED panel:

1. You have control over bullshit like this

2. You can make them smart by attaching the external box (like Raspberry PI with osmc)

3. You don't have to throw the TV because your Software is now old, just change the box.

4. There's new format which requires hardware support (av1 is coming), change the box.

5. Want to add new hardware? Upgrade the box.
