you clearly don’t know many good developers

this is accurate, I use the computer a lot and I use arch (BTW). Ergo, all people in lemmi must be doing this.

That is how science works, right? (I used latin words and all)

hey, many of us dislike both equally! (specially the push to become the only alternative)

hard disagree. life with plain text logs and daemon init scripts was so easy and nice. But we can’t have nice things…

jokes aside, is weird enough to look appealing to me, and probably functional.

honestly, it has the word AI somewhere in their last year activities, even if they don’t do it themselves.

Investors are dumb as fuck, they know nothing about anything other than keywords and hype trains, so with the AI keyword they might go crazy on this.

I keep saying it, the stock market is a mistake for humanity, it doesn’t make sense to put a gambling house in the core of the world economy.

o wow didn’t know this. such horrible design decision! So if I understood correctly ALL the apps that want to screenshot need to write independent code for each desktop environment??? I was just mostly ignoring Wayland until becoming mature, but now I actively dislike it with passion.

So, if this is true and I understand correctly, it means that if I chose to use Xfce (as I do), I’ll have to hope really hard that zoom, skype, slack, discord… decide to provide support for not only linux,… but XFCE or give up and abandon XFCE? yeah f*** Wayland, they really didn’t think about the open source community when designing their solution. I don’t wat to even think of people that use other smaller desktop managers…

I mean, screen sharing is basic functionality these days, in the interview for my current job I needed to use… I think it was teams. Is not even something you can chose, is bad enough to be exclusive linux user as it is, always wondering if in such cases something will not work.

Honestly, long live Xorg. if deprecated and I have to switch to gnome/kde or lose functionality I might as well switch to windows after 20 something years of not using it.

I had to change my email/account with google and couldn’t port the apps in the gplay store. This was mostly due to having a google domains that did many years ago, but still didn’t get any solution when I explained that to the google customer service. It was clear to me that is not worth wasting a penny there.

you seem to know what you are talking about and I looked into this very long ago, maybe you can help me understand.

From what I can understand reading most of the article this forces browsers to accept the certificates, but it doesn’t force the websites to use them, right?

So what is stopping Firefox from showing a warning (like the lock icon being orange, but it could also be a more intrusive message) stating that the certificate was issued by a country and/or doesn’t fullfil modern security standards in case one of these CAs is used?

On top of that, the CA doesn’t really encrypt the private key of the domain, it just adds a signature stating that the message with the salt and the public key are legit, right? everyone seems to think the government itself will be able to passively see the traffic, but if I remember correctly they would have to gateway the whole transaction (I’m guessing the browser will also have a cache of keys and this could become a bit tricky to do in a global way)

But of course we all know how technologically illiterate governments are (there could be one good, but there will be some “less good” for sure). So yeah, it does sound like a horrible idea to begin with. Because if a CA starts being insecure nowadays browsers can just remove them and go with their life, but if there is a law forcing browsers wouldn’t be able to.

I’m just curious about the specifics in case I’m outdated on what I remember.

with the added benefit of a 2-4 years of free rent with free meals and special shower service 😉

hmmm… I’m pretty sure I’ve been around since before YouTube started and don’t have any idea, so I still think is the case.

I think people tend to not understand how big internet is, even back then. This makes it difficult to know which memes really made it all the way to become THAT popular (and even those are not know by everyone, some people just don’t follow memes)

The internet is wild, people spend most of their time in small echo chambers and they think that is the whole internet.

The stylisation works so well on my mind that it took me a bigger while than you think to figure out what the meme was about xD

RIP ☹️

what an amazing editor he developed on top of vi, he’ll be remembered

honestly, I can see this only affecting the little guy like always, big stars probably can afford to lawyer up and earn money for the AI usage of their image. Not to mention that adding extras in the background is many times easier to get away with rather than the main character

plus, if you disconnect in the middle of a command execution it doesn’t get killed (very important for system updates for example)
