As much as I understand beehaw admin has every right to defedorate with any instance, and I respect and appreciate beehaw admins looking after the community.
However, it seems this instance is no longer for me. I want to see more content by more people. There needs to be a balance of content quantity vs content quality. I personally think that beehaw is leaning too much towards quality for my personal liking.
cough, cough, lightening port.
As much as I share your centiment about tech. I don’t quite realize how is TPM scary? It physically separates security important operation from the main CPU.
Cookieautodelete is sooo underrated.
Huffman said 97% of Reddit users do not use any third-party apps to browse the site.
“And the opportunity cost of not having those users on our platform, on our advertising platform, is really significant,”
By “significant”, he means 3%??? That is not factoring how much profit these 3% of people’s content can provide.
So all of these fuzz just to have a one time increase of less than 3% of the profit, even at the cost of more than a million (57 million * 3%) user’s privacy, that is freaking ridiculous.
One of the reasons I want a colored eink is that I can finally starting to draw my slides instead of writing it.
Although I have never tried a Wacom tablet connecting to my PC. I heard they have pretty good Linux support. Maybe that would suffice.
If you use markdown format you can actually display the image. I think like this 
I think colored eink is a great idea, unfortunately I will never buy a boox device at this point. Their business model is similar to phone model, pushing out new model is much more important than maintaining old model.
IMO this practice is very wasteful, extremely bad for the environment (electronics are in general very toxic), and ultimately just anti consumer.
That being said, different people have different needs, and have to face different trade-offs. Absolutely no judgement if anyone decided to get one. I am just saying personally I would much prefer the supernote’s business model than boox.
Regardless, we already have electricity, self-driving vehicles that barely kills any person, it is called a tram, and it cost 7 bucks to commute. Cheaper than most car insurance.
Maybe instead of begging billionaires to come up with things that are not much worse (just slightly worse), we probably should just build more tram?

There is a “rumor”/“running joke” in the programming community that PHP application is hard to maintain.
Primarily, because it is originally designed to whip up a website in a quick and dirty way, hence the original name “personal homepage”.
Where as rust (which is what Lemmy is built upon) is a much more modern language with more safe guard in place to help scaling the application.
Obviously, like many people pointed out there are many larger project is built by PHP. However, many larger companies have the resources build significant extension to PHP to make it more usable, like Facebook’s hhvm and hack language are both tools that revolve around PHP. This is a luxury not enjoyed by smaller projects like kbin, Lemmy, even mastodon.
My personal opinion is that PHP is not a great language, but language is just a tool; programmers are also a huge contributing factor in creating maintainable program. For example, python is probably one of the less principled language out there (for example, it’s variable scoping is very confusing); yet if the programmer programs in a manner to avoid these disadvantages, they can still build fast and maintainable project with it.
Well if Pornhub is built in it, then I am down with it (quite obvious/jk)
Oh, then I imagine they would also be able to blocked by local VPN like netguard?
One of my favorite is fsearch, basically a one-to-one copy of Everything that is written in GTK
I have a 7T and it is terrible. It is buggy and just randomly stops receiving phone calls. That eventually forced me away.
So I feel like OnePlus and lineageos is kind of hot or miss at this point. No where near as stable as the earlier days of lineage.
That is why they force you to use first party apps, ads in them can be almost impossible to block.
It appears that r/videos is public again and someone has posted 6h ago. Anyone know what is going on?
Probably need to open source at least their core software and algorithm. Allow third party app to exist. It would be best if they turn into non-profit, but I am not against for-profit organization.
