I don't think changing words is sufficient to substantially improve bad things in the world like racism and sexism, but I do think it can help to avoid propagating subconscious connotations, like "whitelist" vs "blacklist" which helps to culturally perpetuate the idea that white=good and black=bad which is probably something we should avoid since it's not a huge effort to use alternatives like "allowlist" and "blocklist".

Some aspects of language like grammatically forced binary genders are much harder to change than some specific vocabulary though.

As an early 2000s kid, I've only ever known whitelist and blacklist in terms of programming. It was only a year or two ago, when some news came out about changing it, that I realised the meaning. So like many things on this topic, the newer generations wouldn't even be aware of the connotations if people stopped linking them in the first place

2024-10-04 11:31:53
Most attempts at Latinish conlangs focus on "making the grammar simple", which IMO is a somewhat boring goal that makes the language very un-Latin-like.

I would retain grammatical gender, but work backwards to the Proto-Indo-European animte/inanimate gender system.

The thing with connotations though is that they're largely subconscious. I assume nearly anyone using terms like "whitelist" and "blacklist" does not have any racist intentions, but still, perpetuating such terms does have some impact on how our neurons end up getting wired which I do believe can lead to undesired side effects on some subconscious thought processes. Then again, when I think about 1984's doublespeak, the main problem in that dystopic society is not language but power relations.

Hmm, in my language if I say "I see it black" it means "it will be bad" kinda like "I see the future bad/black". And in my country there weren't almost any black people in past and still aren't. So this black = bad wasn't created because people didn't like black people. More like black = dark night = scary

spider-mario from what I understand, part of the confusion is social liberalism vs economic liberalism
2024-10-04 12:48:36
the biggest confusion really is that both social liberalism and economic liberalism reasonably well founded on liberal ideals. So much of the west is now steeped in liberalism, that absolutely everything exists within a liberal context. So for example in the US, regular conservatives (not the recent personality cult that has taken over the republican party, though) are inherently prone to liberalism because their conservatism exists within a well established (flawed) liberal history, while even progressive democrats *also* are prone to liberalism, just different flavors of it.
But, laizé-faire capitalism is the logical result of radical liberalism. All markets unregulated except the market for violence.

does laizé-faire capitalism and free market maximalism result in maximizing liberty? No? Then it is not radical liberalism.

This was acknowledged back in th 30s when many different liberal thinkers came together to think about the future of liberalism, whence neoliberalism was proposed as liberalism without laizé-faire. The project sorta fizzled out but there you had even people like Hayek talk about how it was actually good if the government was to have a stronger more active role. Ordoliberalism grew out of that meeting, as I recall. (note: somehow, the term neoliberalism was re-used in the 70s to mean something completely different)

Here is a funny economic idea: private ownership is A-OK and cool, if you made something or bought something, it belongs to you. But! Any natural scarce resource belongs to no one. Thus, land ownership cannot be fundamental. If you want to monopolize a piece of land, or extract minerals from the earth, you ought to have to compensate the rest of humanity, as we rightfully have an equal claim to all the earth's resources.

I like to distinguish personal property, private property, and public property. The difference between personal and private property is for example the difference between a house you live in, and a house you own but just as an investment (to get rent and/or to speculate on the housing market).

I thought about the chart from Jon, I dont quite understand how can anarchism be in the same category as "full minority rights". If there is no goverment and everybody can to what they want there is nothing protecting these groups and giving them rights. But I guess it can be understood also that everyone has the same rights. But nobody to enforce them.

Foxtrot question, isnt radical liberal same or similar as libertarian?
2024-10-04 01:10:33
Now, libertarian is a weird term. It was coined by some influential anarcho-communist whose name I have forgotten (he basically was against everything civilization, so I guess you can call him an anarcho-primitivist as well), and was for the longest time only used by anarchists of various sorts, who usually had a disdain for liberalism in all its forms. Then came Murray Rothbard, and popularized the idea of anarcho-capitalism, capitalism without a state (only works if you redefine state from the classical definition, so I find the whole thing kinda questionable). Murray Rothbard, who was also connected in various anarchist circles, called himself a Libertarian. And caused classical liberals and liberal conservatives to become aware of the term used in a pro-capitalist sense. That happened somewhere around the 60s. Now, at the same time, the term socialism started to get a really bad reputation due to the increasingly mainstream conflict with the Soviet Union. Which caused many moderate socialists and social democrats to start calling themselves liberals. So, after about two decades of this the terms had effectively drastically changed in meaning.

The Nordic countries have their very own history with social democracy. They use the term a bit differently from other European countries, where social democracy basically emerged as a kind of evolutionary socialism, as many former Marxist socialists found Marx's claims to not quite go together with observations.

Btw, nowadays you sometimes find far-right extremists calling themselves Libertarians, which I think can be blamed on Hans-Hermann Hoppe, a student of Rothbard. I despise that guy. His ideal society is basically that of the Taliban, at least it technically fulfills all the requirements for his perfect society. He doesn't care about personal freedom at all, like Rothbard he just hates the state (in its current form at least), but is way more conservative than Rothbard ever was. He often calls himself a paleo-libertarian. Such an absurd term...

This is why I remove the bottom-right corner from the diagram, I agree it is a rather impossible combination. The original anarchism (not the more recent "anarchocapitalist" flavors of it) is in my view a bit utopic but not impossible: it aims for a classless society where there is no ruling class that requires state oppression to remain in power. Before the agricultural revolution, that kind of society was quite common: there was basically no inequality since when you're a nomadic hunter-gatherer and there are no farming surpluses to hoard, the amount of inequality you can get is rather limited. Socialists/communists have the same end goal but assume there will first be a need for a workers' state (i.e. where "the 99%" become the ruling class that is oppressing "the 1%", instead of the current situation where it's the other way around) before you can arrive at such a classless society. Essentially anarchism and communism is the same ideology in terms of end goal but the disagreement is about how to get there.

I guess it depends on how you view the nature of rights and the state: is the state there to give/protect your rights, or to allow some people to take away rights from others? If you assume that the base situation is that nobody has any rights until the state bestows them upon you, then sure, anarchy and rights are incompatible. If you assume that the base situation is that everybody has all rights until someone takes them away, then it's not incompatible, but rather a matter of ensuring that nobody can accumulate enough power to take away rights from others.

I think it's a bit of both currently: the state does protect some rights and prevents bad actors from taking them away, but in the end it is also an instrument used by bad actors to suppress rights. A capitalist state will generally attempt to justify itself by defending those rights that don't threaten capitalism (say property rights), while at the same time not really prioritizing other rights (say the right to access to health care) and even taking away yet other rights (if those rights are clashing with the interests of rich, powerful people).

Btw, I think for thinking about right it's useful to also thing about obligations. Again, only my belief, but I think every right necessarily brings oposite obligation.

I do think it is possible to have a society eventually where such an enforcer does not need to be explicit in the form of police/courts/jails etc but there just is no incentive to do crime and a lot of social pressure to not do crime.

Demiurge No, it's because jpegli doesn't write the jpeg app14 tag to signal to apps not to apply the ycocg reverse transform
2024-10-05 10:16:58
That was not the issue I was encountering. If you joined the voice chat, I was showing how apps *are* reading the color profile, but some apps got the rendering intent wrong. I can confirm this with GIMP (one of the few apps that got it right). The APP14 marker matters for Apple devices and adobe products, both of which I don't have/use.

I’m hearing good things about CephFS https://social.treehouse.systems/@marcan/113209263886599784
lonjil
2024-10-07 12:20:34
What he doesn't mention is that CephFS is really really complicated
2024-10-07 12:20:53
Most people I know who have tried to set up CephFS clusters have given up because they just couldn't get it to work reliably.
2024-10-07 12:22:03
It can be very robust, if set up correctly, across multiple hosts, but I see no reason to use for a single host NAS or anything like that unless you value flexibility above all else.
2024-10-07 12:23:01
ZFS on the other hand, while not super easy, is pretty good at never losing your data even if you don't put a lot of effort into doing it "right".
2024-10-07 12:27:47
these days I'm actually a bit skeptical of highly flexible storage systems, because literally all the big data loss bugs in btrfs and bcachefs stem from the flexibility, while zfs's design comes from trying to make it as reliable as possible
2024-10-07 12:29:47
I would probably use Ceph if I was making something big, with petabytes of storage needing to be highly available and durable.
2024-10-07 12:38:34
Oh, and I think Ceph has just, way worse performance than ZFS? So for a Ceph deployment to have the same perf as a single host 6 drive ZFS deployment, it would probably need several hosts and way more drives (and very high speed links between those hosts)
RaveSteel
2024-10-07 12:39:04
Makes sense that it is slower than ZFS since single host is definitely not one of the intended use cases of Ceph

it's not worth the CPU if you're only going to be decoding back to JPEG, however CPU cycles aren't everything
2024-10-11 02:03:36
the main thing is that it lowers storage requirements
2024-10-11 02:04:03
unlike other formats, where they require storing BOTH a legacy JPEG and a version in the new image format
2024-10-11 02:05:03
if you want to use AVIF you need 1) a JPEG for older clients 2) an AVIF if you want to use JPEG XL you only need 1) a JPEG to JXL lossless transcode if the client needs a JPEG you can convert the JPEG XL back to JPEG
2024-10-11 02:05:24
if it's a commonly loaded image you may want to cache the original JPEG which negates the storage space benefit
2024-10-11 02:05:54
however it would be really helpful for something like Internet Archive where they need to store A LOT of images which are infrequently accessed

Higher effort sometimes means "trying more things" and then you expect it to be strictly better than lower effort. But sometimes higher effort means "do something in a different way that will take more CPU/memory and compresses better on average".

imo the problem with any social media platform is that the main thing most people want from it is a critical mass of users so you actually have an audience and reach many people — that's in the end the only advantage these platforms have over, say, just posting stuff on your personal website. But getting a critical mass to adopt anything new is nontrivial, especially if the same kind of functionality is already available on another platform — so the first one to do something generally gets a kind of monopoly. This is why decentralized FOSS alternatives to facebook/twitter/instagram/etc generally tend to fail: they just don't get critical mass. It doesn't matter how much greater they are from a technical pov, or from a privacy pov, or from a transparency pov, or from a free speech pov: if there's no critical mass of users then it remains something basically only used by us nerds, and fine for communication within that bubble, but not so great for reaching the masses. And as a corollary, the big platforms can afford to basically stop innovating, making dumb decisions, adding only dumb features, throwing more ads at everyone, etc. As long as they keep having the critical mass of users, people will have to keep using their thing anyway, whether they like it or not.

It's a 1000 nits OLED display and gamescope has support for displaying HDR. Or what do you mean?

But even if it weren't HDR, the brightness makes a difference nonetheless

I had a friend once who was talking about how they made their own HDR backgrounds in Blender... Turns out it wasn't HDR, the OLED just had such good contrast with most of the render being black, they didn't know what real HDR meant

Which is why OLEDs are so nice

If only the 100% brightness were better

``` #*****#_ ( {*# # ### #_ _#* **#** .__#___ ``` For some reason, I couldn't find an algorithm that best converts images to ASCII art, taking into account the real geometry of the letters, so I had to invent it myself from scratch. (The algorithm processes only the geometry of transitions from black to white, it is not suitable for simple photos and art)
