@Buerzl @mamsell Klassiker.
Und die Wortwahl "Teigtascherl" hilft aber auch echt nicht, dass ich den Artikel leichter ernst nehmen könnte

@mamsell was genau war illegal? Hat sie keine Steuern gezahlt, hat sie behauptet es wären Soufflés und war es darum Betrug?
Ich habe so viele Fragen.

@thomasfuchs @brouhaha Modern BSDs depending on how you draw the line starting with Net/2 or with 4.4BSD-Lite Release 2 are legally and logically separate from their original Unix history and should be considered reimplementations.
Also, those are just drivers and subsystems that are borrowed from and not the Kernel. XNU/Mach never were part of the main Unix family.
And using drivers and the network stack from BSD is in no way unique to MacOS, QNX and Windows NT did the same.

@brouhaha @thomasfuchs this. It is certified Unix compatible and it at different points incorporated code from NetBSD and FreeBSD, but XNU/Darwin Trace no direct history to the AT&T Unix/System V, so calling it a "true" Unix is misleading.
And in a world where the true Unixes all are dead, the value of this certification is really questionable. I would argue, that POSIX nowadays is what counts, and certified UNIX is purely a gimmick.

There is a technology for everyone, where progress goes too far for ones person willingness to adept.
For my grandfather it was programming the VCR.
Have you reached that point already? If so, what technology was it?

@tokyo_0 @daihard @downey so, on my home instance, the big official instances frequently get limited, due to spam attacks.
But those big instances also host a huge amount of legitimate users myself and others here *want* to see.
No, the current behavior really is, what I would want to happen. If the insurance is really considered malicious as a whole, then turning it to limited is not the intended tool.
I get that maybe a suspension, as a tool between limited and blocked could be useful.

@tokyo_0 @daihard @downey yes, what you are thinking of, is putting everyone from this instance in the limited state.
And IMHO this is exactly the right thing in this case. If there are 1000 new spam accounts, everyone on your instance probably will never see them. But the interactions with existing accounts, your users are following, can continue as they did before.
Setting whole instances to limited as such works as a workaround, while the mods are asleep.

@tokyo_0 @daihard @downey No, it explicitly was never intended as suspended.
Limited means, the reach of this account gets limited to those, who explicitly want to see the account.
They can no longer annoy others with reply spam/follow spam/hashtag spam. Who still *wants* to see this account, can do so, using following.
Preventing boosts would rather be an action regarding their followers, which seems strange in this context.

@thomasfuchs can we also talk about the fact, that it does not seem plausibel, that they even have the data to make this claim?
I can't imagine that twitter logs the whole timeline with ordering it shows to users...

@thomasfuchs are there other gui-toolkits left, than chrome?

@thomasfuchs agree, not a fan of agile.

@henryk noch ein Datenpunkt, ja, da hat definitiv jemand an dem Algorithmus gespielt.

@henryk okay, du gewinnst. Ich dachte schon meine heutige Empfehlung wäre seltsam gewesen.

@ErikUden you are not talking about direct memory access here, are you?

@catsalad luckily we have static codecheckers preventing such things ever making it into our repository.

@goatsarah @natty okay, I think you are referring to this, micro-usb 3.0, right? But apparently there actually is a mini-usb 3.0 connector, which looks the same as the regular old mini USB, but squeezes 10 contacts in there 🤯

@natty usb-mini-b USB 3.0, right?
(Just try to imagine what this would look like!)

@paninid @CStamp @histodons No we are not.
Societies might be on a bad direction in some regards, especially in terms of growing digital surveillance, but claiming that our current reality would be in any way close to those dystopian books is bogus.
This is feeding into the alt-right narratives that we see being floated by groups like the "Querdenker" in Germany and is in general not helpful.

@paninid @CStamp @histodons this should be stated explicitly today, given that there are significant groups claiming the literal wording of this image.

@thomasfuchs how much "actual" Unix code is contained in MacOS is arguable, but yes recent versions are technically a true UNIX and certified, while OSX originally wasn't certified and had a ton of incompatibilities to the SUS spec.
This is explained rather well here: https://www.quora.com/What-goes-into-making-an-OS-to-be-Unix-compliant-certified
