  • YSK that cholesterol is only found in significant quantities in animal products.

  • You know this will only make people want to dig deeper, right? Whoever is paying you off to pretend like nothing is going on should've really told you to use an alt or something.

  • No LUFS regulations are the reason you use subtitles to watch TV – Tom Scott YT (7:58)

    Jump

  • Can we stop with this subtle EU propaganda slop? I LIVE in an EU country and I have the exact same problem with modern movies. This has nothing to do with who gets to make the laws, there are only two reasons why everything needs subtitles now:

    • Because of advancements in microphone technologies, actors don't need to speak as clearly and are getting lazy as a result.
    • Movies producers are assholes who think that everyone has a 50000$ surround sound home theater system and master the movie soundtracks accordingly -- which makes explosions and action scenes sound WAY TOO LOUD on normal people sound systems.

  • YSK about qalculate, an opensource, versatile calculator with nice cli(and gui)

    Jump

  • I love how new versions of the CLI have the result automatically update as you type. Nice to see people going above and beyond to make CLI's pleasant!

  • Banned from community? Post score in the negative? What are the mods trying to cover up here?!

  • YSK: there's a browser extension called "SingleFile", which allows you to save any page into a single HTML file.

    Jump

  • Also recommending ArchiveBox -- it takes the shotgun approach to archiving websites, making snapshots with a bunch of different tools, singlefile being among them. You can use it as a one-shot command, or run it as a web server which provides a UI for archiving web pages. Linkwarden is similar.

  • YSK: enable smooth display in Android

    Jump

  • IMHO the only reason to go above 60Hz is for better responsiveness in competitive games. Otherwise it's just a meme, definitely a total gimmick on smartphones.

  • Is there something like GitHub, but without big tech involvement, no data collection, no ads, open source, and preferably decentralized (maybe Fediverse or even P2P)?

    Jump

  • Forgejo is an activitypub-enabled Git forge software, and codeberg is one of the largest forgejo instances.

    Tangentially related, but git-annex, and, in particular, its sync subcommand are a great tool for storing files and managing git repos across multiple machines (and even just loose drives) in a "P2P" way without any centralised server

  • It depends on the phase. Sometimes you get constructive interference and they add up instead.

  • Trump says he’s designating Antifa as a terrorist organization

    Jump

  • Didn't he already do that in his last term? I still remember the jokes people made back then, like "how can it be a terrorist organization if it's not receiving weapons shipments from the US government!?"

  • How to find offline alternatives to software-as-a-service and apps with unnecessary internet connections?

    Jump

  • I sadly can't recommend any communities for this, but what I do know is that search engines have been basically useless for finding software alternatives for a while. Search results are just full of for-profit bullshit trying to sell you their stupid app or low-effort list sites like alternativeto.net. If I need to find an offline alternative to some specific tool, as ironic as it is, I usually just ask an LLM. They work pretty well as a sort of reverse-search engine for finding software based on a description of the features.

  • During my quantum mechanics course in year one of uni the lecturer spent the entirety of first lecture essentially ranting about how all of these "interpretations" of quantum mechanics are a complete waste of time with zero practical application. So you're not alone on this one.

    EDIT wait no lmao the course wasn't even on quantum mechanics it was on electromagnetism, the lecturer just had a personal gripe against all this quantum bullshit lol.

  • IDK what you mean by "domain host" but the thing about cloudflare ('s most prominent service) is that it's essentially a voluntary MITM between you and your clients. They see ALL traffic going between your server and your clients. This is not normal. Normally traffic between server and client is encrypted with HTTPS. By using cloudflare's proxy your are adding a backdoor to that encryption. Your registrar cannot normally see this traffic. Your certificate authority cannot normally see this traffic without issuing a malicious cert. But cloudflare can. And, if they wanted to, they could even inject malware to deanonymize users, spy on journalists, steal data, etc. As a matter of fact, they already do, but instead of calling it "malware" they call it "analytics", so it's okay 👍

  • Cloudflare is harmful. Sure, maybe they're doing a Good Thing™ today, but who stops them from turning around and selling all of the data they proxy to AI companies tomorrow? There is rarely a good reason to use cloudflare. If you care about blocking bots, there are self-hostable tools like Anubis. If you care about hiding your server's IP, you can use a VPN that allows port forwarding or rent a VPS. Do not use cloudflare. Cloudflare should not be used. By using cloudflare, you surrender your digital sovereignty for a mirage of convenience and safety.

    (Yes, I understand the irony of posting this from a instance that uses cloudflare)

  • Yes indeed. It seems so far that the best defence is to join utterly unhinged communities and participate in degeneracy so severe that no publicly traded company would want to scrape you. Something something become ungovernable.
