You have to accept to being tracked by Google, having an advertising id, all the data Firebase collects. Their ToS is large.

Users were asking for it, that’s true. I guess users don’t really care about being tracked, allowing google into their phone and indirectly supporting them controlling the web, thus enabling them to do things like manifest v3 or the web integrity API.

Ads? understandable, the dev has bills to pay. Not open source? Purists may hate it, but not the end of the world. Tracking? Google? No thanks, the beautiful design is not worth it.

My isp gives me something a public ip like 200.191.57.xxx, but that ip changes and I can’t open any port. Then my isp’s router’s local network is 192.168.0.xxx, my TP link router connects there (to 192.168.0.3 i think). Then my TP link manages ips 192.168.1.xxx. My jelly server is at 192.168.1.10, my devices are at 192.168.1.5, 8, etc.

Everything is local, nothing goes outside

I will check qos, i think i saw it enabled or something, thanks

From my internal IP (192.168.1.xx), I don’t access it from the outside (can’t open ports on residential connection in my country :c )

All my devices are connected to my own router, then that router connects to my isp router, which then connects to the internet, so its very weird.

The only thing I configured was reserving an ip address for my server on my router, but I don’t think that should influence…

… but if even if they were to earn minimum wage, they can just, you know, take bribes? Just don’t tell anyone about it. Or pass laws that benefit them.

I think that would allow a “better” democracy in paper, but not much would change. Using my country as an example:

1. One person, one vote, voting is mandatory, if you don’t vote you have to pay penalties and lose access to many government services. Businesses are required to give time off for voting. Elections are so fragmented that in the last one a person with 15% of the total votes won. People voted for they in second round only because they were the lesser of two evils.

Candidats are still shit, evil persons that only care about using the government to enrich themselves (and have a history of doing so), most of the population are so bad educated that they only need to hear a few promises to vote for them.

2. Not implemented. Would be specially nice for the fragmentation.

3. We only have congress. Still corrupt, still holds most of the power, uses it to gain money through laws that benefit them and their businesses. It is very fragmented, but it doesn’t matter, because they join when they need to pass a law that benefits them. Leaders of the political parties decide which laws to pass, and tell the congresspeople how to vote. If someone does’t vote as they are told, they are removed from congress.

And to get to congress you have to bribe a lot of money to a lot of people, so no one would self destruct after getting in debt before realizing some earnings.

4. Supreme court justices are not permanent, last only 5 years, no reelections, appointed by congress. So what? Just do the things that need to be done during your 5 years. After that the new congress will place new puppets. If a major scandal is revealed, you’ll be protected by congress, allowed to leave the country with all your money, and forgotten in a few years.

5. Bribes are illegal, lobbying is illegal. We did it Patrick! Bribery is no more! You can just get money off the table. However, here the opposite is argued. Congresspeople and the president should have the highest salaries, so that they wouldn’t have incentives to take bribes (they earn so much, why risk it to get more). But even if they were

There’re many games I want to play,

But dota 2 says no, so…

TIL I have to manually enable hardware acceleration. Will try it. Still not a good default experience, hope it gets better soon.

I don’t think its a issue with wayland mode, I tried Xorg/Wayland/Nvidia/Amd/Intel/Arch/Ubuntu, always had that problem.

Firefox flaptak, can’t play a video and go back a few seconds, or the video freezes but audio continues. Such a basic feature and it’s broken…

I think it depends on how you enter, Liftoff and Connect do

Google silently shipping signed chrome executables soon…

And then people wonder why non chromium browsers are important

Wouldn’t spoofing work? Like, if the browser just sends “yes, no extensions, adblock, blah blah” then how would the attestation server know if that’s true? Or does it require signed binaries, or some special hardware?

If I have to be awake at a certain time, inside my dreams I’d be always reminding myself to be awake at that time. Not the best sleep, but at least im where and when I need to be

Ah, asprite, an example of the reason why people pay for binaries, and open source is economically viable. Took me so long time to install and setup all the dependencies, by the time it was installed i got bored.

You can try LibreTube, it has almost all the features of youtube. Only downside is some videos are slow to load, but if you can host your own Piped instance that’s solved. It has sponsorblock built in, regular updates, and a better ui imo

A year ago that would randomly appear for me. It seems they were a/b testing it.

Libretube with my own Piped instance, almost flamless. One line setup with docker, Runs perfectly on a 5$ VPS. I haven’t entered youtube in months, there is no reason other that to import suscriptions, channels, etc.

Only problem is for some reason some not-so-popular videos are slow to load on 720p, but load fine in 480p or 1080p. Really weird.

How about “php enables me to code like a moron”, or even better, "php breaks common conventions and forces me to think about every little detail and special edge case, slowing me down if I don’t want to accidentally ‘code like a moron’ "

Nested ternary operators emerge because of the lack of if/switch expressions (which is C fault), so they are “useful” (they shouldn’t be). However, PHP is the only language that treats it as left associative. This has 2 problems:

• You are forced to use parenthesis. Some (insane) people might do: (cond1) ? “A” : (cond2) ? “B” : “C” And it makes sense. Its ugly af, but it makes sense. But PHP now forces you to use more parethesis. It’s making you work more.
• It breaks convention. If you come from any other language and use ternary operators, you will get unexpected results. After hours of banging your head against the wall, you realize the problem. And now you have to learn a new edge case in the language, and what to do to actually use the language.

“But you shouldn’t use ternary operators anyway! Use if/switch/polymorphic dispatch/goto/anything else”

True, but still, the feature is there, and its bad. The fact that there are other alternatives doesn’t make the PHP ternary operator worse than other languages’ ternary operator.

PHP works against you. That’s the problem. The ternary operator is not a good example, since there are alternatives. But look at something so simple, so mundane like strpos.

If strpos doesn’t find returns false. Every other language returns -1. And if you then use this value elsewhere, PHP will cast it to 0 for you. Boom, your program is broken, and you have to stare at the screen for hours, looking for the error.

“BuT yOU sHoUlD AlwAyS cHEcK tHe rETurN eRRor!”

And even if that’s true, if we all must check the return value, does PHP force you to do so? Like checked exceptions in Java? Or all the Option & Result in Rust? throws, throws, throws… unwrap, unwrap, unwrap… (Many) people hate those features

PHP works against you. And that’s why its bad.
