I've installed fresh matrix about 8 times or so, got it to work 3 of those times. I started looking for how to do a fresh install earlier this year (matrix/synapse element) and I have no idea which docs to use,
It was bad enough before that I had to detour to random places to find workarounds for things like how nginx does it's thing differently than the matrix docs I was reading at the time.. but now with the newer element that makes it easy to not find a self hosting way - to main docs being listed as archived or old -
I'd enjoy installing it fresh with someone from matrix watching the process just to see what a slog it is - and then watch someone try to get some addins running like admin and moderation.
wordpress is a one click install via softalicious and similar on most cpanel 10$ and up hosts.. you can one click add a decent free chat plugin if you are on a VPS.
If matrix was that simple to setup, lots of people would be using it.
I sometimes wonder the firm defintion(s) of 'public social media'
If you post a blog on blogspot or similar it seems the point is to be public.
(there could be settings there to make some things non public, I don't remember or know what is current)
If you post on a network that requires login to see the posts, is that public?
(is twitter / tumbler / fbook all indexed via google / available without login?)
If you post on a social network inside a group that requires approval to join, but is free - is that public?
If you post something behind a paywall, is that public?
If someone shares a photo of you that you DMed a person using a social network..
Snapchat makes things disappear, whatsapp advertises that even they can't see your bad behavior.
Did you have a reasonable expectation of privacy in these places?
One could argue that stolen photos, texts, books, movies that are posted on a social network are now public.
And then I think about the number of people who don't understand what is public and what can be seen by others, and I feel that our apps and hardware should bear some responsibility to remind people that tapping like or making a comment may feel intimate / 1 to 1, but you may be questioned one day very publicly about why you were voting for one kind of thing while giving thumbs up and praise comments to twinks from your official account.
Then I wonder what kind of hybrid social systems will be a thing in the future - some sort of encrypted 1 to 1 and 1 to groups thing.
It's not just stories like this, but companies scraping tinder profiles and sharing the pictures and such..
People's expectation of privacy and the horrors of that not being a thing will likely cause more and more migrations into privacy proxy identity avatar agents;
which will likely lead to less data for the big companies where the data knowledge is the gold.
I wish every product like this had giant warnings on the box, in the online listing, etc.
I bought a robot vac (after owning an early roomba for some time)
- Opened it up, ready to use it
- instructions said download the app to make it work.
It's back in it's box somewhere around here and never used.
Didn't CF CEO post in March 2019 that they were going to start working with govts on suggestions for how to implement laws that would get them to block things people didn't like?
Could be. Regulatory capture is evident in a lot of places. TurboTax isn’t accidentally a very easy to use Tax filing software. It gets things right I’ve had expensive CPAs get wrong. TurboTax has more lobbying dollars than the CPA with an office down the street.
With food trucks I've learned that rules, regulations, construction costs may be bigger factors.
In most cases if you attach 50 grand worth of stuff to a building and can't pay your rent one month you may be legally required to leave most of your equipment with the landlord, and could be required to pay for additional construction.
Many landlords require certain insurances you can bypass with your truck. The public can't sue the building owner for things.
Inspections are also easier to handle with smaller places to tidy up, and everyone in your restaurant can see an inspector coming before they get inside.
Also if you get a bad inspection or bad reviews, just put a new wrap on your truck and it's not like a bad reputation for a specific building is set in.
Which is some excellent insight on why wages are not the driving cost, but real estate is. There are some insurance costs that get carried with a food truck, but I think the simpler direct ownership structure minimizes them.
