What if my job was to ensure that Kråkan has a job, like the people at arbetsförmedlingen, and his job was to ensure that I have a job.
We would both be doing a good job, and we'd have plenty of time for other things.

Thanks to @ella for telling me how to uninstall ununinstallable Android programs.
After uninstalling YouTube that way, I was allowed to re-add youtube.corn URLs to NewPipe, making them usable again.

we do need a better name for moving away from centralized tech and big corporate commerce. decentralized is a bit of a mouthful for casual use, maybe we could shorten it to... 'decent'

"#RSS, an open format, didn’t give technology companies the control over data and eyeballs that they needed to sell ads, so they did not support it. But the more mundane reason is that centralized silos are just easier to design than common standards."

Can you even imagine how much energy is wasted trying to navigate a fundamentally dishonest society? It’s exhausting.

I don’t blame anyone who refuses to engage with it.

Request: Is anyone here familiar with AWS and know of any good resources for a newbie to get up to speed with it if they, say, had to parachute into an existing project built on things like API Gateway, Lambdas and DynamoDB Tables?

I admit I was somewhat hoping this "16-million-year-old tardigrade discovered in amber is a 'once in a generation' find" was going to end with, "and the tardigrade was fine." Alas.

Replacement is inevitable. You'd think an "evolutionary" psychologist should understand that.

Except that evolutionary psychologists understand nothing about evolution.

When you want to test the speed of propagation of electricity, you use what you have on hand?

"In 1746 Jean-Antoine Nollet wired 200 monks in a mile-long circle and zapped them with a battery of Leyden jars. One can only imagine the reaction of the circuit of clerics, but their simultaneous jerking and no doubt not-terribly pious exclamations demonstrated that electricity moved very quickly indeed."

I guess they have determined that the number of people who can and do leave their platforms because of lack of support is negligible, so why spend money on actual support that could be profits instead.

I've reported bugs on paid-for Apple software and MS software, and I never get anything more than a template response.
And the issues persist.
Don't know from whomst people get that support that's so good.
For me it's worse than the worst-case responses of community software, like nobody having time and being asked to do it yourself (which was actually MS' response on one of their corporate open source things, so I did it myself according to their requirements, and then nothing happened.)

YouTube makes their app broken on purpose, so that they can sell a subscription that unbreaks it, and when someone else makes a free app that just works, Google goes, well, we own links to YouTube now, and we own the phone OS you use, and have deals to make YouTube mandatory, haha, owning stuff rules, pay us.

Getting close to 8 😜
For those not in the know: I am adding to the free #fpga toolchain the ability to use the so-called wide LUTs in gowin #fpga.
So far I have LUT5, LUT6 and LUT7.
One of the funny things is that they are implemented with hard wires and therefore cannot be detected by comparing bitmaps.
