IIRC this particular word emerged in a blog post published explicitly to propose a bunch of new words.

So yes I do realise that all words have an etymology, but most were not created in the course of self aggrandizement.

I don’t have any credible feedback for you.

I dislike php. That’s my feeling. The vibe.

When I’m browsing self hostable things I avoid php unless it’s really the only option.

My completely unsupported “feeling” is that apps written in php are awkward and clunky and just less pleasant to host.

I’m sorry if that offends you, and I don’t care at all what you think of my opinion.

I only mentioned “php apps feel old” because I could see you were some kind of php devotee and that it would trigger you. Maybe look into that.

I’m not asserting anything. My motivation was exactly what it says in the opening post. I think discussion about these things is important.

Sadly it seems I’ve made a mistake and that this sub might have been the wrong place to post. I didn’t realise this community did PTB / YDI style determinations and yes, I failed to read the side bar prior to posting.

Unfortunately it seems like there is some actual discussion happening so it feels wrong to just delete the post at this point. I was going to report my own post but it seems that’s not possible?

Obviously, your ticket buys you an allotted space, being one chair worth.

Planes can carry a variable amount of weight but space is static / not variable.

Given that weight is distributed normally, air lines would be upsetting everyone aside from a few skinny people, just to discount fares for those skinny people.

It doesn’t make any sense from a business / marketing perspective.

Yes, but does that mean the statement is true or does it just mean that the statement resonates with young voters?

The system does have grave problems that desperately need to be addressed but the far right doesn’t have the answers.

It’s very frustrating to encounter American progressive voters who are actively undermining their only chance at representation.

That’s a cool concept, but a made up word.

Language evolves, sure. But making up words is like genetically engineering a third leg or something.

Weirdly this is true.

I’m a lot less attractive in my appearance but aparently more attractive as a person.

Nah.

Some people age well, others don’t. IMO the ratio is about the same in any gender.

In a decades time the rest of the world will be putting sanctions on the US demanding they improve their renewable game.

No.

Implementing the tariffs has destroyed the US’ credibility as a trade partner.

They’ve doubled down with the tariffs on China.

Trump specifically has lost all credibility as a negotiator. Everyone knows he will fold if he can find a way out that allows him to at least say that he won.

The damage will take decades to correct.

Lets back up the truck a little.

Sounds like a cool idea, why don’t you set it up?

This sarcastic little witticism required a sarcastic and witty response, which I provided.

Obviously I’m not going to set it up because, as I said in my earlier comments it’s a dreamy idea. I could go on to say, in the absence of such a technological solution, archive.org should still refrain from copyright infringement because they quite obviously aren’t viable with their current stance.

you’re licking the boots of record companies

You’ll have to help me understand how this is so. In my comments I laid out a plan to maintain archive.org’s data for no (or very little) cost or effort, while ensuring that those record company’s receive nothing.

For users, the value of archive.org is the data. However, that data has no value to litigators nor anyone else. You can literally let the existing organisation collapse, and take the data to form a new organisation.

If you want to interpret this plan as doing “nothing at all” then you’re free to do so.

However, and forgive me this final sarcasm, doing nothing at all would be more productive than a change.org petition.

Because I’m not facing a $700m legal claim with a change.org petition as my best defence.

That limits and gatekeeps access

Not necessarily, I wasn’t really proposing to just torrent everything. I was kinda dreaming of a more creative solution that trivialises access while abstracts the actual hosting away from individuals.

this kind of rights violation precisely needs to be normalized

Perhaps, but if so this just isn’t the way to achieve that. IA doesn’t seem sustainable.

Amazing. Pack it up everyone. Looks like the old “are we alone” question has been settled once and for all.

That’s so pathetic.

When i saw the headlines I skipped past. Usually they detect “organic molecules”. This means the requisites for life are present but it’s not evidence of life.

There must be a lot of complicated aspects to this that I don’t understand.

The right course of action seems obvious to me…

Firstly spin out a separate organisation to manage the wayback machine. It shouldn’t be part of the pot defending against litigation like this.

Secondly, and I feel silly saying this but… don’t institutionalise the perpetration of rights violations? In the age of distributed databases and the dark web and the block chain and federation surely we can figure out a way to archive media that doesn’t put people or organisations at risk of litigation.

Finally, if the individuals involved with IA are not liable for the debts of IA then the organisation should fold because that’s practically free compared to defending against these litigious assholes.

I disagree.

Anyone who has spent a few minutes thinking about what a logo is and what it’s used for will be able to tell you that one of these is a logo and the other is… a picture.

I’m aware of that, but obviously the concept of “work” doesn’t apply to Musk as it does to government employees generally.

He will have the same influence and whatever level of involvement he wants regardless of whether he’s a temporary government employee, a consultant, or just a contact.

There’s not really any news in that article.

Notably, Musk said he would be stepping back from DOGE after May but didn’t go into any detail about what that would mean. Even though he said he would be easing up on his involvement, the billionaire said that he would remain in the government through President Trump’s entire term,

This is meaningless.
