And I fully agree with your statement, but the article is also going out and calling things false when in reality we simply have no evidence for them (see the last quote in my comment above).

But when Alito referenced a systematic review conducted for the Cass report in England, Strangio conceded the point. “There is no evidence in some—in the studies that this treatment reduces completed suicide,” he said. “And the reason for that is completed suicide, thankfully and admittedly, is rare, and we’re talking about a very small population of individuals with studies that don’t necessarily have completed suicides within them.”

And then

Advocates of the open-science movement often talk about “zombie facts”—popular sound bites that persist in public debate, even when they have been repeatedly discredited. Many common political claims made in defense of puberty blockers and hormones for gender-dysphoric minors meet this definition

Ok, I get the idea that there might be no scientific evidence for gender affirming care reducing suicide rate, but “no evidence” is not the same as “discredited”: it might still be true, and in fact, anectodal evidence probably suggest it’s true, but we don’t have enough data to confirm that.

The conclusion should be “we need more data” rather than taking about zombie facts.

And the article continue to conflate “no evidence” with falsehood:

But the movement has spent the past decade telling gender-nonconforming children that anyone who tries to restrict access to puberty blockers and hormones is, effectively, trying to kill them. This was false, as Strangio’s answer tacitly conceded.

No, it’s not false, or at least, we can’t conclude that from not enough evidence.

Not disagreeing, especially as of lately…

They’re using what little leverage they have, and for once, without bombing or killing people. Surprisingly rational. Still a shitty regime, especially the way they treat their own citizens, but anyways…

I don’t give a shit about Iranian regime, but I do care for their innocent civilians. Just like I don’t care for Israel’s regime (and the … US regime, as well), but I do care for their innocent civilians. The difference with Israel and USA is, though, that they voted for their regime, so, many of them aren’t so innocent.

Still, as usual, the people who suffer the most are always the ones who never wanted any of this.

I guess what they’re saying is, even though it’s “not supported” officially, you can still try and there’s good chances it’ll work anyway. If you need or prefer to stick to a supported configuration, it seems your options are either to switch to podman and figure out nextcloud, or switch away from RHEL.

I don’t think a macbook can fit in my pocket … and I don’t think the (virtual) keyboard on an iphone is a “manufactured restriction” compared to a macbook

Interesting, never heard of it before but looks promising, I should try it. I don’t care much for AI features, but I’m not against it either, especially if I can use locally hosted models, and it seems Zed supports ollama natively, so that fits the bill.

Coming from vscode, one of the features I use a lot is devcontainers, does Zed support something similar?

Visual Studio Code, I think it’s just the best, works on all platforms and there’s extensions for literally everything. If it enshittifies too much with e.g. copilot, etc. there’s always vscodium instead.

If I’m on a linux terminal, I use the micro editor. I can survive using vim if nothing else is available, but yeah, I used to be in emacs team back in the day…

I have used Qt Creator in the past and, while it was pretty good back then, nowadays I’m not sure if it can compete with vscode, I haven’t kept up with its development.

Not sure what crypto we’re talking about here, but most crypto coins (e.g. bitcoin) are also easily traceable, as all transactions are public. It’s true that they’re not reversible and that certainly offer less protection than a bank account, but also offer other things e.g. more privacy and decentralized infrastructure, which can be useful even to non criminals.

Also once again, if one needs absolutely no traceablilty (ok fine, almost no traceability) then cash is still king and criminals use that as well, or sometimes gift cards and prepaid cards. Should we ban cash and gift cards? (hmm gift cards maybe…)

What I’m trying to say is, crypto is just a tool and it’s up to us to use it in a good or bad way. Unfortunately, most people seem to have chosen the second option.

This could’ve easily happened over his bank account online password instead of crypto, don’t blame crypto here, blame human greed.

Artificial Insanity?

That’s a far cry from genocide though

A cutlery knife is not a butter knife, most are sharp and definitely capable of killing someone. Again doesn’t justify the cops acting in such disproportionate manner, but … definitely not the same as a straw.

Fully agree the cops went too far with how they treated him, definitely didn’t deserve to die.

Ok, I understand the officers likely used excessive force and this guy maybe had dementia or something but …

Burgess […] was seen poking a care worker in the stomach with a cutlery knife

Sorry, but I have a hard time feeling sorry for this old man.

It’s an extension so it can be deactivated

Article says:

[…] then carefully refactor the relevant components of the extension into VS Code core.

So… maybe you won’t be able to deactivate it anymore. Not cool, microsoft (but totally expected).

One thing I don’t like though, the article says:

then carefully refactor the relevant components of the extension into VS Code core.

So … you won’t be able to deactivate it anymore? not cool, it I interpreted it correctly.

For example, that someone could fork it and make it use a local or self-hosted LLM instead. Yes I know, other alternatives exist (Continue extension) but aren’t that good.
