Oceania tends to refer to the region, including both Australia, New Zealand, Melanesia, Micronesia, and the many small island nations.
Sometimes, we are “collectivly” treated as a continent, despite being almost all island nations with no land boarders.
I’ve had… thoughts on this lately.
I do social dance (wcs) as one of my several hobbies. And I kind of compare ot to church now. We go once a week, we do the thing, and we have a community around it, with community leaders.
The world might be slowly leaving religion behind, but I have to wonder of we’re losing something else in the process.
(Find some WCA classes in your area, we’re all weird as fuck, it’s a often a community of introverts with a niche interest in common, and set rules of interaction (would you like a dance?))
1 or 3; maybe 4.
With several assumptions made, ultimately, they’re asking for json, and we should still return json, but what that looks like is up to you. It should be static enough that the person on the other end can write:
If json.grtnode(error) == "unauthorized access"
Do stuff
Ifnyour going to be changing the text with some regularity to contain relevant information for the error (eg, an item ID, that is now invalid), then consider a code/text and additional fields.
I mean, that argument starts to wade in to the Mozilla foundation as a whole, and what their purpose is, and that’s a giant kettle of fish.
Theoretical game. They lowball Google on how much Google pays them. How do people react? I don’t see them doing that and say, “Man, I’m glad Firefox is reducing Google’s influence over them”. I see them making a thread about how Firefox is giving Google a discounted rate because they’re all corrupt technofacists.
The core problem there still exists IMO. Funding.
What we really need is a reasonable way for open source, free, software, that exists for the good of the whole, to get money. But that has it’s own kettle of fish, where does it come from, how big is big enough to get some, what if they charge for support, how open is open enough.
Something something, seize the means of production, communism, etc.
Ok idealist.
What is your alternative funding stream for Mozilla?
It’s bad.
Is it worse than the advertising owned browser that gives your information directly to said advertiser?
The same as what happened when vine shut down.
Take their follows as best as they can to another platform. Continue on.
I kind of hope gaben has set up something smart for his death. Eg Valve is owned by a trust.
It supports both online co-op as well as split screen with multiple controllers; at least it does on PC.
As a general rule, the amount of exploitation and fraud it takes to “become” a billionaire should probably be illegal.
Lying about what you do with peoples data and who you share it with.
Sentencing and punishment are affected by “caste”
Read up on the civil rights movements or how women got the right to vote.
Protests 100% work
You can, but it requires more skill and more effort.
Skill and effort are often in high demand and low supply.
I could… survive this layout.
But when selling a house, you want to appeal to as many as possible. And this kitchen does not have wide appeal.
Oh, they care.
They got your money one way, and now their getting it another way!
Make the fine the last 10 years of activision/blizzard gross profits.
Make the fuckers bleed.
Penalty? Don’t you mean just another cost of doing business?
I’ll do my best to explain what I can. But it’s hard, and many PHD dissertations will be written on this. It’s not exactly something that can just be explained.
But yes, Covid was probably the most easily identifiable source. In addition, you could make a claim that Putins’ moves, the support from Russia to for various “alt-right” groups, and their eventual war in Ukraine (assumedly, aiming for culmination in reuniting the Soviet Union) have an impact. Lastly, we have various AI projects reading “maturity” (or at least public notoriety), and various services realizing they were missing out on a piece of the “AI pie”.
Covid was… bad. It’s a new, deadly disease that potentially leaves people with life altering side effecs (long covid). The Vaccines are good, if not great even for having been developed so quickly and drastically change your likely outcomes, but they aren’t full immunity (like we have for Polio). This left governments in a dammed now if you don’t support people, or damned later if you do. They all chose various levels of later. Some governments supported businesses directly and left people alone to suffer, others supported people and left businesses mostly alone. Either way: Cash injections into an economy produces inflation.
Fighting inflation… the most commonly accepted method in the western world is to raise interest rates* and then let it play out. With the loss of cheap money from low interest rates, many businesses are now being pushed by their owners and shareholders from focusing on growth to make profits (eg: Raise prices, crack downs on password sharing, API use).
There are other claims you could make, and construct narratives with. For a few years now companies have been growing by expanding into growing countries, but now the number of countries left is short, and companies are running out of places to expand into to grow. Once again, as growth becomes impossible or undesirable, the focus shifts to extracting profit from your existing base. We are reaching maximum saturation.
*Alternatives: If you would like to slash government spending… see Argentina’s inflation (it’s bad), for windfall taxes see Spain (it’s good).
It’s on purpose.
You spend longer IN Google, so you see more Google ads, on a Google platform, so Google gets a bigger cut of the pie.
It’s the same reason Google started summarizing Wikipedia (or other highly rated results) on its search results where possible. Why they built basic functionality (timers etc) into their search engine.
This year, my partner and I traded our large “traditional” vacuum for a robot + cordless stick vacuum.
Honestly, a great decision. Robot vacuum runs once a weekday, house has never been cleaner. Anything it doesn’t get, we can quickly grab the cordless for.
Feel like? Maybe not. Accepted? Maybe.
More often than not now, I find myself having to be the adult in the room. My father recently died, and while my parents both have wills sorted, they didn’t have other things like power of attorney sorted, or a real discussion of what his funeral arrangements he would like. It was not a sudden death. That was a turning point for me.
I guess that’s where I’m at, I’ve accepted I’m an adult. I’m losing backstops, but also becoming other people’s backstop.
This is my approach.
I have hubris. But also some self-awareness.
20-50% into broad market indexes. 50-70% into messing around and generic picks.
Of my own picks, only a few have outperformed the s&p50p. Some are… not good. If I happen to find another nvidia I’ll be very happy. If I don’t, I’ll be able to retire at a not unreasonable age.
