I’ll comply with a police officer because of their threat of violence. I will not comply with online bullshit, because Discord can’t shoot me.

This feels like piracy to me and an unintended usecase of archives.

IMO it’s definitely piracy, but piracy is morally neutral

I use the Cryptomator app for this, it works as advertised. I keep ~60 GiB of personal files in there that would be an easy button to steal my identity and savings. I'm just hoping it doesn't include an NSA back door.

The NSA definitely has easier ways to steal your identity and savings if they wanted to anyways

So how does TouchID on an external keyboard work without having to re-set up fingerprints?
piperswe · 8 days ago
Presumably the fingerprint data is stored in the Mac's Secure Enclave, and the external keyboard is just a reader

It does not count under private memory, so I assume mapped but unused. The last time I asked Claude, it said confidently it was a bug in Swift's networking stack, which I doubt.

Mapped but unused memory is imaginary (at least, on modern UNIX systems). It's not actually using any physical RAM.

Having my app consume 300GB of virtual memory after running for a week is not ideal.

Is it actually resident or is it just mapped but unused?

I was able to go to the Living Computer Museum and I got there when they first opened and wound up staying until closing time. I was just so into all the stuff there :-)

I hope to visit the ICM on my next trip to Seattle, though I suspect that won't be as grand as the original Living Computer Museum

Google Maps says people spend 0.5-3 hours there. I spent 6.5 because it was so amazing. Highly recommended.

A similar experience for me was the Connections Museum in Seattle: I came just after opening, and time flew by such that I was surprised when they told me they were closing up

I still don’t understand why people oppose that rather than enthusiastically desire it. The end state you’re describing is the culmination of the enlightenment project. Automating labor is the point! Then you can paint, or play chess, or eat amazing food, or do whatever you want. Work isn’t the end, it’s the means. Products and services is the end. If we can achieve the end via technology, who cares about the work?

Once the rich own machines that do everything for them, they have no need for us and we have no leverage over them. What's left for us then?

>the skill barrier to getting a full system is “basic literacy, to read the wiki”

if GenZ knew how to read they would be very disappointed right now

in the age of tablets and tiktok, basic literacy is quite a big ask

piperswe · 15 days ago
That's what they said about GenX, Millennials, and probably every other generation before them. Something something, "OK boomer."
