  • Firefox is really innovating

    Jump

  • A bazillion understaffed forks ranging from unusable because they have more tinfoil hats than developers, and unusable because the single developer doesn't understand why remote debugging shouldn't be enabled by default.

  • LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash

    Jump

  • People that buy commercial displays won't tolerate adware on their monitors. Can you imagine having a screen in a store and it suddenly displaying ads that are not for what the store sells itself? This ensures there will always be an healthy demand for ad free displays.

  • Some premium brands like Bang & Olufsen sell TVs without adware, I think Panasonic TVs are mostly ad-free for now. Outside of that, most big brands will have "professional" or "commercial" product lines that also don't have ads. But in all cases you'll have to pay extra over the TVs subsidized by ads.

  • How feasible would it be to host Mastodon, Pixelfed, Lemmy, Friendica, or Matrix over Tor/I2P?

  • One example is HTTP signatures. Servers sign their payloads and receiving servers should validate not just the hash but ensure the payload is not too old. Mastodon allows for a twelve hour difference (https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/security/#http-signatures) but other software might be stricter for security reasons. The a bunch of things like webfinger were designed around public dns and public key chains A mastodon server running on the open internet and/or expecting public keychain HTTPs will not be able to federate with something running in tor.

    You could cut enough corners to make something that federates inside tor, but at that point it's better to design something around tor's features.

    Jump

  • That's just a frontend issue. You can have clients that don't try to do regular polling.

    Having reliable activitypub federation is going to be a much harder challenge. The server to server protocol has a bunch of assumptions that are not true for tor and i2p.

    And unless you want the entire network to become a CSAM and Nazi cespool, you would also need a reliable way of identifying servers, which defeats the purpose.

  • Fits surprisingly well

  • It's only surprising if you don't take into account who owns Paramount now.

    TIL that Anthony Kiedis of The Red Hot Chili Peppers is a self-confessed child molester, according to his autobiography 'Scar Tissue'

    Jump

  • I fully support Romeo and Juliet laws to not punish horny teenagers for being horny teenagers, but a 6 year difference at 14 years old is completely out of any reasonable scope to make an exception. Doubly so when the guy was so nonchalant about it 20 years later.

  • Valid

  • You are using rights differently from them.

    While you are using rights in the humanist sense of the word, they are also including privileges tied to their "social station" in a "divine right of kings/the master race/..." kind of way. And in the latter there can only be one lord in the castle.

  • Regarding what Bernie calls the risks "robot soldiers", I think the Star Trek episode A Taste of Armageddon should be mandatory viewing.

    War is not always avoidable, but it becomes less so if the costs of fighting it are perceived as small.

  • That goes back to the original Luddites. They weren't anti technology per-se, they were were anti oligarchy.

  • Do any countries genuinely appreciate American immigrants?

    Jump

  • Immigrants that accept that they are immigrants or self-described expats?

    As long as you don't try to make your surroundings a mini-'Murica you should be fine everywhere in Europe.

  • Massachusetts Church Keeps Anti-ICE Nativity Scene, Defying Diocese Leaders

    Jump

  • A catholic church in the US listening to the Pope on something that's not an order to protect pedophiles? How did that happen? Did they read the part of the bible that immediately follows the nativity and found out Jesus was also a refugee?

  • IBM CEO says there is 'no way' spending trillions on AI data centers will pay off at today's infrastructure costs

  • LLMs are evolutionary dead ends. Very expensive ones at that.

    Even the companies doing things where LLMs are actually good at, rely on companies like OpenAI so when OpenAI goes down so will they.

  • Its actually because I'm a noob 😓

    Jump

  • I don't make anything open source because one of my projects became semi popular and I had to give it away for the sake of my mental health.

    Some people seem to think that open source means they have the right to demand free labour and harass people for it. That, and university students that want people to do their homework instead of RTFM.

  • The Xindi arc has value as a snapshot of american mindset post 9-11. Justifying torture as an answer to terrorist act in a Star Trek series was wild.

  • That's win-win-win. Ukraine gets their territories back, Russia gets another one of the former imperial possessions as a consolation prize, and Alaskan get what they voted for.
