  • These people started it and are doing it for fun.

    Fixing few decades of technical debt is not fun and a big question would be if their code would even be considered for existing engines.

    It us so much fin it already has over 1000 contributors. It got us 1k more people that understand browsers deeply. I think that's a huge win whatever happens with browser itself

  • What factors do you think contributed to the "Reddit Hivemind"? How do you believe it can be avoided?

    Jump

  • I see it just as extension to "cancel culture" in IRL society. Nothing complicated just same stuff pushed from media comes to the web. Much helped by algorithms that are supporting it.

    It is not only reddit, whole public internet is just an echo chamber, with no critical opinion allowed.

    Every topic in current society (at least Europe+North America, I don't know what's happening in the rest of the world) is either black or white and no in between. Very scary place we are in currently. And people put you in some category just based on one sentence, one though, one idea.

    I don't see anything special here or on reddit that is not happening in other parts of our society.

    Maybe fediverse is so clean you can see it happening live, just look at any defederation request and what they think of different opinions. Different opinion is forbidden. I never thought we will ger to this point, I believed internet will give us freedom of speech and freedom to discuss. But so many topics have become dangerous.

  • Why Wayland adoption to have official support in programs is so slow?

    Jump

  • It is still young and underdeveloped.

    It is advertised to be simpler, but I don't understand any of this words thrown in this thread. And I don't care. Pulseaudio and pipewire is still making me troubles, even thou alsa worked without issues for me.

    Point it, make it clear and stable and we will come. Until than we will use the beast we know. It os mich easier when there are no options, but Wayland is fighting something that exists and it takes time and effort.

    Another problem is they pushed it to early and people got burned. Until I start seeing "I switched to Wayland in one command and everything works" I (as a user) will not touch it (unles my distro decides to drop X).

  • Paywall content for rss.ponder.cat

  • I am conflicted. From one side, I agree with you sincevthis is a good idea.

    I personally never go around paywalls, if someone doesn't want me to read their article I will not do it.

    But... they do push their content to search engines and waste my time with something I can not access. My time also costs money.

    Than there is problem with I don't trust media will write the truth anyway, so giving them few bucks will probably not change that. But it is important for us to know what other people know.

    Now we came to sharing knowledge, like we would before when newspapers were printed on paper - I could give it or show it to a friend or neighbor. Or go to a library and read it.

    While this is outside of our current discussion, they need to find better model.

    If it is a daily newspaper, maybe paywal new articles and release after sone reasonable time (like a week, or month... or a year).

    I like your idea of separating feeds, to keep paywalled content out of my feed.

  • What should I do about my parents moving closer.

    Jump

  • I understand she wants freedom in a house she lives in.

    But if you go to visit your parents it is not of her concern. She can not get both.

    She might be worried about some fantasy she has, but it might not be too bad in the end.

    I am in this situation. My parther is close (physically and emotionally) to her family and I wouldn't want them visiting. But I am happy for her (without me) to go.

    Problem arises when she wants me to go too and that's where fight starts. Either eight away or after visit, wether I go or not.

    No advice, just my experience.

  • What fresh fuckery is this? 🤦

  • I am slowly switching back to podcasts, it is only question of time when yt quality goes bellow usability, they are dancing around that thin line like with search.

  • First ever, I think was

    First on personal computer was probably "Football Manager" on C64: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Ej3zs7PB-QQ

    Firts on x86 was "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego" https://youtube.com/watch?v=EGoFwc_EgZM in school.

    But first ever was probably some arcade, I would love to know which one was first contact. Never even though of it. Tetris, or Operation wolf, or Donky Kong.

    This things are also some of first: https://youtube.com/watch?v=PNZ6DUEzzeA and https://youtube.com/watch?v=T0HovHcgM1g

    Woow... you time traveled me far in the past. But I don't know which one was first :(.

  • Why use MBin instead of Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Thank you for mentioning Pie Fed, I neverd heard of it until now, but looks great. Clean code, intro video for developers, db structure exolained. Really friendly for new contributors, quite refreshing.

  • If those options are functional, otherwise focus on making some of them functional.

  • Sadly, this is expected, the unknown person didn't break any law. I guess we need to update laws to cover this kind of threats.

    Consult a lawyer, document everything.

    Everyone involved should try to write down or record everything they can remember about suspected person and contact with them.

    My country is similar, but there is a difference if they cross a line at some point if you reported them before or not. Punishment is much harder and faster if there are reports before incident.

  • Last night Organic Maps was removed from the Play Store

    Jump

  • Maybe an error?

    Error would be if they removed GMaps or Gmail from Play store, this is sabotage.

    Play store is 99% some kind of scum, but they found open source app that community likes and is providing service comparable to their app. Yeah, right.

    If they don't want us to call it sabotage, they should be extra careful about apps that are providing same service as them.

    What's the lowest caffeine amount but still tastes good/carbonated drink?

    Jump

  • But within artificial sweeteners, which might be even worse for our health than sugar.

    Jump

  • The only carbonated drink without caffeine, alcohol and sugar is non alcoholic beer.

    It is really great, just find one which after taste does not bother you (most have some sweet aftertaste) and drink it cold. It is great drink.

  • Use a password manager

    Jump

  • It is truly upsetting to see how complicated for use password managers are.

    I grow up around computers and I can barely mange them. Other people just don't understand how to use them, it is complicated and inconvenient. Even after I set them up and show them multiple times, friends don't manage.

    In browser password managers cover 90%, but I guess web sites and apps need to start testing UX for password managers. Some of them introduce stupid flows that brake all of them.

    Android is complete shit show.

    It is not users, but applications and UX that doesn't care about security.

  • I don't know what to pick.

  • If you need CUDA for certain applications in example, its better to use Nvidia.

    Depends on budget. PyTorch works nicely on ROCm and, for me, bigger constraint is available VRAM than GPU speed and looks like AMD has cheaper RAM, comparing their cheapest 16GB cards AMD is 33% cheaper than Nvidia where I live, and there was some card 45% cheaper few months ago. Huge savings if on limited budget.
