As a long time C coder I checked this out, because I have my own malloc replacement. The source code is nonsensical garbage.

It's not embodiment that's important so much as situatedness. An agent can be situated without having a physical instantiation. An agent which does not have a place or time is not recognisable as being autonomous, or capable of re

I hope that this will also apply to mobile phones.

The answer is quite likely to be yes. But then when you consider who is the primary typical user of a spreadsheet and ask yourself "are they likely to learn Lisp?" then the answer is no.

For software I've written while working at companies I didn't have control over the license choice, but for that which I've written voluntarily nearly all of it (and there's quite a laundry list now) is under GPL or AGPL

As someone who has always been a UK citizen and is old enough to remember decades past I can say with confidence that this statement is not accurate.

The BBC is very much a state run organization. The people who ultimately decide what happens to the BBC - The BBC Trust - are appointed by "queen in council", which in practice means government ministers.

I think GNU Social should be pretty scalable, and that's because it's not a centralized paradigm with all users in one titanic database. Currently I'm running my own instance (one user on the server) and then federating with

Again that may just be the wrong paradigm. If you are especially concerned about disappearance of a server then just run your own installation. This is partially why I'm making debian packages for GNU Social, to make that process easy.

It's just not a centralized paradigm. Joining an existing server means you'll be subject to whatever moderation policy the admin has. Or you can just run your own server and then federate with the rest, as I do.

Although I dislike capitalism in general I think that message should be changed to something more neutral. Maybe some capitalists might want to have their own GNU Social site where they can boast about swindling, exploitation and their belo

I run a system called Freedombone, and maintenance of GNU Social is not really an issue. If I'm not actively working on it there is no maintenance involved.

GNU Social is on the road map for FreedomBox and that's why I've recently been making debian packages for it.

I hope it's not another recession. We've not even recovered from the last one yet.

I think this is a straw man, because whether the internet is centralised or decentraised doesn't depend on how knowledgeable its users are. We have a decentralised transport system, and modern vehicles are very sophisticated, but that

It is scary to think about because automated exploits could perhaps be scaled up and cause real mayhem. Hopefully it doesn't have to get that far before some elementary redesign of network architecture inside of vehicles. It's not

Sadly, accidents are probably going to happen before infotainment gets decoupled from CAN bus. You don't just need a firewall, those need to be on physically separate networks.

Since notifications from Facebook will contain mostly predictable content won't these just become cribs for crackers?

That's the thing about unix-like systems. No matter how much you have learned there's always some command you don't know.

Seeing people with lots of money doesn't depress me, although reading about people struggling with money or health issues can be depressing. In my case I don't care that person X has more money than I do, since as long as I have e

As far as I can tell from his Wikipedia bio, Thiel hasn't done anything significantly innovative since PayPal. It looks like he supplied money for some other things, but that's about it.

My current strategy is to host on Github and mirror to Gogs on my own server. I might eventually swap that around. There are advantages to Github in terms of the number of eyeballs and ability to search, but I expect that it will go the way
