Welp. This comment has completely killed all my enthusiasm for matrix 😅 I had no idea it was such a horrible mess under the hood…

I’m trying to move some communities off Discord to something self hosted but I don’t know enough about SMPP to know if it would do the job.

50 people is an irrelevant sample size. Just because the findings seem to make sense doesn’t mean the study is good.

Well, fuck. I really hoped they would pick FairPhone. Motorola is… Okay. I guess they made the Nexus 5 ; which was one of the best phones ever.

I hope they make a SMALL one, I am so tired of this GIGANTIC pixel 9.

👏🏻 We 👏🏻 demand 👏🏻 public 👏🏻 executions 👏🏻

No. In interpreted languages that is kinda true, in compiled languages that is definitely false.

The code is a simplification. It has a direct relationship to what actually happens, yes, but most often glosses over the details (even in C and other very low level languages)

NixOS is missing cause they graduated early 😎

The Matrix.

The first film was perfect as a standalone.

As a Computer Scientist, I increasingly believe this tech might actually be poison for the human mind, and I’m not sure what to do about it.

I want to believe we can make it actually useful. But I don’t know if that’s possible or not.

Of course I use SecureBoot, if you know how to set it up it has no inconvenients ! But that doesn’t go all the way up to the apps !

I have no idea what life was like before systemd so while I like it I have no way to compare

I was enthusiastic about LadyBird until I learnt that the guy leading the project i s a white supremacist, via pivot-to-ai.

Now I hope either someone else takes it over, or that it crashes and burns.

You know what ? If this law is only imposed on commercial operating systems, and I can make my free OS lie and say I’m 100+ ; then maybe this could work.

The option of having a full auth trust chain would be nice for some security applications, but the implication that it could be made compulsory is terrifying.

Eurgh ! This is just INFESTED with horrible AI writing clichés. All the “it’s not X — it’s Y” and the extraneous lists, the absolute abuse of putting titles everywhere.

What a MESS of an article, all just to say something that should have been patently obvious to anyone who is not a brain-poisoned moron.

Don’t let AI turn you into this. Take a stance, stay human.

I like Gnome’s apps, and I think I would install Gnome on any non-techie user’s computer.

But for myself ? I want all the options ! So I use KDE. Probably going to switch to a tiling WM, I’d like my whole desktop experience use tmux shortcuts, basically.

Do you really think that will survive ? It’s next on the chopping block with GrapheneOS if they keep going this way.

Humans may not be obligate herbivores ; nonetheless eating meat invariably hurts us in the short and long term.

Meet is like alcohol, you can get your calories from booze ; but why would you inflict that upon yourself ?

Eating meat is only deleterious. You may be able to stave off the visible consequences for a while, but make no mistake, it is eating you from the inside.

We were not meant to feed upon murder.

Proof ? Vegans are the only human group to be consistently healthy and long lived. We are exempt from many illnesses considered nigh-inevitable, even when genetically predisposed.

🤣

I have an extremely simple solution for this made-up problem : Just don’t eat meat 🤷🏻‍♀️

What are you, a tiger ? No ? Then why do you put yourself through this, when it only makes you sicker the more you do it ?

Cool beans, unfortunately GrayJay doesn’t fucking work at all, no matter what I try and on which device.

So I gave up. I use the YouTube website via IronFox on mobile, and LibreWolf on computers ; with lots of extensions to de-bloat it.
