  • greed incentivizing unethical contraptions.

    Crypto is a tool, just like anything else. Is the internet a greed incentivizing unethical contraption? Because the internet spawned Google, Instagram, Facebook, 4Chan, and various other shady and illicit sites and services. Should we hate the internet because of this?

    Crypto isn't inherently bad. It's the people trying to take advantage and duplicate the "success" of Bitcoin that make crypto bad. I'm telling you this as a person who used to believe in "crypto" and was an early adopter.

  • Should one remove all Reddit posts and comments?

    Jump

  • You may be deleting your comments in the hopes that it will pull some value away from Reddit. That’s not true, in fact, the opposite is more likely.

    I would disagree.

    If reddit was only about linking websites you would be correct, but that's not where all the value comes from. Some of the value comes from the comments. Comments provide insights, provide celebrity interaction (snoop, arnold, bill gates, etc), a sense of community, technical knowledge, stories, warnings, context as well as many other things that end-users find valuable.

    Remove the comments, ipso facto, you remove value.

  • what model do you have if you don't mind me asking? curious what's out there working for people from someone who would like to get into it but just hasn't (nor looked into it very much)

  • they could ask the teacher, sure, but why not fix the problem instead of using a disruptive workaround until the end of time? phrased another way, should we as a society fix problems or provide half solutions that don't fully resolve them?

  • LibreSpeed: Speedtest No Flash, No Java, No Websocket, No Bullshit.

    Jump

  • Cool project! I used OpenSpeedTest last week to test local intranet speeds.

    If you already have docker/podman installed, the command below should get you going quickly:

     shell
        
 docker run --restart=unless-stopped --name openspeedtest -d -p 3000:3000 -p 3001:3001 openspeedtest/latest

  • Apple Maps on Web Now Supports Firefox Browser

    Jump

  • And on mobile, use Organic Maps. It downloads Open Street Map data so it works completely offline, no internet is required once you download whatever regions you need. There are monthly updates for the map data and the app is open source and ad-free.

  • There's no point for democracy when ignorance is celebrated

    NOFX wrote about the rise of ignorance in America and the song "The Idiots Are Taking Over" is more appropriate now than ever before.

    full lyrics below. link to song for anyone not familiar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sNWDfryyMk

     text
        
It's not the right time to be sober
Now the idiots have taken over
Spreading like a social cancer, is there an answer?
Mensa membership conceding
Tell me why and how are all the stupid people breeding
Watson, it's really elementary
The industrial revolution
Has flipped the *removed* on evolution
The benevolent and wise are being thwarted, ostracized, what a bummer
The world keeps getting dumber
Insensitivity is standard and faith is being fancied over reason
Darwin's rolling over in his coffin
The fittest are surviving much less often
Now everything seems to be reversing, and it's worsening
Someone flopped a steamer in the gene pool
Now angry mob mentality's no longer the exception, it's the rule
And I'm starting to feel a lot like Charlton Heston
Stranded on a primate planet
Apes and orangutans that ran it to the ground
With generals and the armies that obeyed them
Followers following fables
Philosophies that enable them to rule without regard
There's no point for democracy when ignorance is celebrated
Political scientists get the same one vote as some Arkansas inbred
Majority rule, don't work in mental institutions
Sometimes the smallest softest voice carries the grand biggest solutions
What are we left with?
A nation of god-fearing pregnant nationalists
Who feel it's their duty to populate the homeland
Pass on traditions
How to get ahead religions
And prosperity via simpleton culture
The idiots are taking over

  • Confused about Podman

    Jump

  • As someone who's been wanting to test (and maybe move to Podman) in the future but hasn't really spent any time on it, what features have Red hat removed from Podman?

  • Google Chrome warns uBlock Origin may soon be disabled

    Jump

  • I use the shit out of Firefox PWA. I just wish Mozilla would get off their asses and make it work out of the box vs having to install a third party app.

  • Google Says Sorry After Passwords Vanish For 15 Million Windows Users.

    Jump

  • Call me when there’s a serious OneNote...

    OneNote works on the web, but there's also Notenook if someone is looking for similar features with an app for offline access + End-to-end encryption and open source alternative. I've got it syncing to my Android, Windows, Linux and Mac clients without issue.

    ...or even more importantly, Excel competitor.

    There's OnlyOffice which has a spreadsheet. Yeah it's not Excel which has existed for a million years, but it should work for the vast majority of users' basic needs. It may not work for your specific use case, but it is a viable alternative that exists today. If you want more online collaborative features (like the o365 version has) you can use CryptPad, which provides an end-to-end encrypted and open-source collaboration suite, including the web version of OnlyOffice Spreadsheets.

    Or even a standard shell on Linux...

    What does this even mean? Nearly every major Linux distro sets bash as the default shell, and if not the default, is probably already installed and called if needed. Not sure I understand the problem here.

    ...or the same set of tools built in

    Stick to a single OS and you get the same set of tools built in? This is a strange statement to be making against a system that not only thrives on diversity but has lots of niche systems that require a myriad of default tools.

    I do completely agree about not using any browser's built-in password manager.

  • "Keep your ad blocker on", does it turn itself off randomly if you don't pay?

  • You’re objectively evil.

    Typical Trump apologist mentality, projecting their own views and not backing up their claims.

    Not reading past your first paragraph as it already makes every source after that irrelevant.

    Cheers! 🍻 Stay ignorant.

    You feel really smart adding references and sources to your deathwish right? I hope you realize how ironic that looks.

    Just trying to help others educate themselves on the facts, but there's only so much you can do when people are willing to stay ignorant 🤓

    EDIT: I should add - please, at the very least, read up on the paradox of tolerance. Your ignorance only helps the enemy.

  • Here’s how much Valve pays its staff — and how few people it employs

    Jump

  • You'd be correct. This is why median gives you a better representation of a general population. Averages can easily be distorted.

  • Firefox added ad tracking and has already turned it on without asking you

    Jump

  • If you've already read through this and understand what it means and are still worried about your privacy, I would recommend you switch to LibreWolf - it takes all the best practices of hardening Firefox for security and works out of the box. Unfortunately, this means you can't play certain videos, it doesn't auto-update, and some - likely many - websites will break/not work. This is the price to pay for true privacy. If you don't want that, just keep using Firefox.

  • Not who you're replying to but its very easy to wish death (or the sudden thanos-ing) of objectively evil people.

  • hate and lies. trump summed up.

  • Signal downplays encryption key flaw, fixes it after X drama

    Jump

  • Signal, originally known as TextSecure, worked entirely over text messages when it first came out. It was borne from a different era and and securing communication data was the only immediate goal because at the time everything was basically viewable by anyone with enough admin rights on basically every platform. Signal helped popularize end-to-end encryption (E2EE) and dragged everyone else with them. Very few services at the time even advertised E2EE, private metadata or social graph privacy.

    As they've improved the platform they continue to make incremental changes to enhance security. This is not a flaw, this is how progress is made.
