violent unstable people aren't inherent to cities.. they're inherent to places that refuse to spend any money on social work/housing/and enjoy punishing people

I would rather pick to not be subjected to them than to be subjected to them. NYC spends over 40k/homeless person and I still have to be subjected to them, even though I paid enough taxes to wash my hands of the issue morally

san francisco really really needs this.. the traffic lights were incredibly hard to see with the fog and rain..

waymos shouldn't exist, and san francisco shouldn't just be a experimentation lab for tech companies

god if there was a comprehensive chat protocol without a loser ceo i'd move to it tomorrow. matrix org staff don't know how to interact with other human beings.

perhaps their pipeline doesn't allow the pm's to easily check their code, or their computers aren't setup for running/compiling code? idk

If they lack the tools and/or skills to check their code, then they shouldn't be submitting code.

ugh this kind of stuff just makes me wish DNS was less centralized, even though it's already incredibly uncentralized.. of course it's just all registrars just being a weak point.. as always

It is as decentralized as you can get. Dns is the entire foundation of decentralization, any more and you get into schizo hyperprivacy protocols.

It's federated, not decentralized. For decentralized you need something like https://ens.domains/

Are there any well established definitions for these terms as separate?

Yes? Basically half of them? Some people put federation in decentralised group, some say only distributed is decentralised.

In short: centralised = 1 owner/operator, federated = many semi-autonomous operators to choose from, decentralised/distributed = everyone's an operator on the same level.

With DNS you still have groups of operators who can tell you what to do and they have the main agencies on top of that. I subscribe to the "it's not really decentralised" view.

Source: It came to me in a dream.

Alternatively, do a quick search for "decentralised vs federated" yourself. People here don't owe you basic explanations.

It's not that I am dumb and I am asking for help with info. I'm questioning the existence of this, there is no reliable source because these are not standard terms in any discipline.

It's not that you are not giving me source because your time is valuable and I'm dumb. It's because there is no source and these concepts don't have any standard rigorous definition.

https://www.google.com/search?q=decentralized+vs+federated

Google gives me trash. These are trash concepts, nothing written by academics or professionals or standard textbooks, or proceedings of magazines or publications.

Just blogs and cryptonerds (with different definitions).

The network is decentralized, but each domain still has a single registrar, making the service you (domain owner) receive very centralized. If that one registrar misbehaves or is unresponsive, you're out of luck.

You can switch registrars if you want.

This requires cooperation from your current registrar, and involves the registry operator for your TLD which is again a single entity.

You are consistently objectively wrong on the facts. So your subjective take that dns is decentralized is again wrong.

You can choose different TLDs. Don't like VeriSign's .com? Go with a country tld or make your own tld. Also tld are regulated it isn't even an independent private entity.

Finally switching registrars does NOT require cooperation of the losing registrar, but of the upstream DNS.

The sane take is just don't chose a meme registrar from a bullshit country just because it sounds like something else.

So, it's not as decentralised as you can get, you just personally don't like decentralisation?

you can't selectively turn off junk notifications from apps that you need notifications from.. i want to use the peets app to know when my coffees ready but it spams me with pumpkin spice latte deals..

I think this is something I genuinely differ on to most people. If an app doesn’t allow me to selectively choose the notifications then I don’t allow it to notify me. I put a really high value on my attention and I don’t consider that ok behaviour from an app. If I miss something because I don’t get notifications then that’s too bad, the value of not being interrupted is so much higher.

I feel similarly. I hunt for the Unsubscribe button to every email I don’t want and/or mark it spam in my mail app. It makes a real difference after a while.

Unfortunately, companies know most people aren’t like us so they keep pumping out the crap.

> you can't selectively turn off junk notifications from apps that you need notifications from

You can't if it's a junk app. Many reputable apps today have properly described notification channels and you can turn them off selectively (under android at least). That's what I did for my banking and several other apps. Every "marketing" channel was turned off.

Contact the associated app store. Those should be labeled differently and not misused.

i can't believe anyone would pay money for their product. It's alpha grade software through and through. Once a large enough company loses enough data through a encryption miss-step or federation issue they're going to pivot off of this product and move on.

The UX for E2EE is full of trip mines that will easily lose your encryption key. You need to be designing a product around people who don't read and just want a slack/discord like format. The amount of times i've lost my decryption keys or my friends have lost my decryption keys because they don't religiously backup their keys is such a dramatic time sync..

i used to be able to go frame by frame with quicktime.. is there any modern video player that can actually do this?

This is a build in feature that mplayer had and mpv has aswell

. and , on keyboard go frame-to-frame, you can also up and downspeed with [ and ]

mpv does it! Period key (.) for next frame, comma (,) for previous. Super handy.

You can also hold those keys to play normally at the speed set with [ and ], so you can actually play the video in reverse and slow motion or whatever. Be aware that it's usually very intensive on cpu time (and maybe gpu decoding if applicable) since it has to usually go back a whole keyframe and compute all frames between while doing that, which may result in less than smooth playback on some videos.

Reverse usually works significantly worse, at least with common video codecs that work on key frames and intraframes. Depending on your work flow, codecs that don't operate on keyframes/intraframes will actually provide mpv the capability of playing backwards at full speed (eg: rawvideo, ffv1, magicyuv...).

only next frame
