For a moment I wondered why the Rust code was so much more readable than I remembered.

This would make a nice VS Codium plugin to deal with all the visual clutter. I actually like this.

No, he’s part of the US oligarchy. Don’t criticize too much or you might happen to have sudden, unexplainable tech problems and legal trouble. /s

All three browsers recommended are Chromium-based as well, so they’re dependent on Google and have to suffer from the Manifest v3 problem and the necessary manual intervention. Brave even is known for being maintained by a dick. Some of those recommendations are really bad.

Don’t get your second question though. The reasons for non-US should be obvious.

Instead they’ll become curiosities leading down rabbit holes to understand why and how they happened.

Yes, chromosomes are meaningless to who someone is (except edge-cases).

No, sex and gender aren’t the same.

That’s a chromosome you encoded there which is one of a few markers that define sex, not gender.

Probably to the “oh my god new slang so cringe this youth” crowd. You know, those who always said they’ll never get old and annoying non-understanding adults… and now became exactly that. 😁

Can confirm. Meddled with it a little bit a while ago trying to productively use it to host Lutris installer files. It’s an absolute mess; slow, unreliable, without proper documentation and a really bad default node application.

Also it managed to get our server temporarily banned by the hosting provider since the “sane default settings” includes the node doing a whole sweep of your local subnet on all NICs respectively, knocking at multiple ports of every device it can find. Because the expected environment of a node apparently is your home network… a default setting that caused problems for many people for many years by now.

A project like in this post might benefit from looking at more modern/mature reimplementations of IPFS’ concept, like Veilid (which would also offer additional features as well).

The Element Matrix client in a nutshell.

It’s a US “non-profit”. One that demands 19$ per article which they merely provide as aggregator, they don’t own shit.

Utterly absurd.

This. I wholeheartedly concur that corporate “social” media is fucking shit up like hell, however as long as people are socially stuck there they will be around, as as long as that is the case people who need to make a living will have to roll out stuff and communicate with people there.

In fact this is specifically the kind of tool a friend and me looked for but couldn’t find as FOSS until now, although we’d definitely need support for the Mastodon API / Lemmy.

One may argue which platforms to choose (depending on what you want to show people or who you want to reach). But completely abandoning garbage platforms ain’t possible right now, especially for small businesses who need to be seen somewhere.
