Yes, sorry I fumbled the wording, I meant to say it makes me wonder what the other chinese factory workers make and under which conditions they work compared to the chinese workers that make fairphones. Maybe it’s all propaganda and fairphone uses slave labour, but that would surprise me. Another thing I thought about is that tech is just more expensive in europe in general. It’s common that we pay 20% more for the same phone or laptop in europe compared to the US.

Ethically sourced, fair wages to workers, etc. Makes you wonder what a factory worker in china makes to allow for cheaper phones.

Recently I decided to try ed for real and used it exclusively for a coding project. There is a certain joy in the simplicity, but ultimately I found myself printing lines and searching files more than I liked. And rewriting long lines instead of getting the substitutions wrong again.

Is edlin still around?

Maybe it can be translated into something else, like, “Documentation is like toilet paper, when it’s good it’s good, when it’s bad it’s better than nothing”? Or, “Documentation is like clothes, even if they are bad it’s better than nothing”, or “Documentation is like having something you need, it’s better to have the thing you need even if is not good, than to not have the thing you need at all”?

It seems interesting! But like, it’s $43 to get the URL to watch it on my computer?

Didn’t they have a fundraiser a few months ago where they got 130000 CAD? Not saying it’s wrong to have more fundraisers, but what happened with that?
Edit: it was pixelfed, not peertube

what does augmenting user retention mean in practice?

That seems like a good way, to give the user the option. In your opinion, are these algorithms transparent enough to understand or even verify for regular users?

3 is a feature to me. The “algorithms” seem to create bubbles, and I want to decide myself.

Something similar happened in Sweden, the politicians said that the EU is forcing Sweden to store data about users. Like, “we don’t want this… but we have no choice!” And then it turned out that what they did was actually against EU laws and Sweden was fined for doing what they did and ordered to stop.

Is it not working well? What is it lacking?

If the money is freely given as a donation, then I’m with you. If lack of money is what is stopping someone from making things that others are willing to pay to see more of, then sure. But if the only way to do it is to have ads or selling our data etc, then I don’t want that.

I’d rather have one unix surrealism than a thousand influencers with lots of followers. These days, I want to be among people who interact as equals, who share ideas, who cooperate in a genuine way. If we try a shortcut to more users through money, what is the point?

Penultimate? Which one is the ultimate then?

It’s more that the position of the escape key changed. This was they layout of the keyboard vi was written on. Note the arrow keys too.

I made a serious attempt at using ed(1) for a few weeks. Read the book by Michael Lucas and everything. In the end, I kind of do want to see the file I’m editing, etc. But, some features, or lack of features, stuck with me. Do I need a menu item to count words in the file? That’s why we have wc -w after all. This can be said about a lot of functionality built into editors. It made me really appreciate the idea of programs that do one thing, and can be combined. But yes, in the end it was too much for me, mostly because I’m not good enough with coreutils.
