I’ll develop my own browser before using an ad-infested internet. Luckily I don’t have to do that, because there are alternatives and also because it would be a damn time consuming project to put it mildly 😅

They might be academics, but definitely not scientists
Mostly the same. I tried ChatGPT a few times to get it to generate some code, but mostly it produced code that didn’t even compile and when I asked it to fix it, it created code that didn’t compile in a different way. I enjoy writing code on my own a lot more than having to review some pre-generated code.
Though I use it as a glorified Google sometimes and that is not even so bad.
My feeling is the US feels they are too committed now to stop and just hope that Israel will stop by itself soon.
I’m not saying I like it, but it definitely feels like that…
Just give me a Linux client for proton drive please. I’m tired of manually uploading/downloading files 😐
I guess the idea is (make of that what you want):
And last time I checked they wanted to change the law so the overachievement over other sectors can excuse the failure in others. So no need to do something in the traffic sector, if other areas performed better. Not sure what the current state of this plan is, but I would assume they didn’t take it back, which would seem the only reasonable thing to do🤷♂️
Very hard. Trust me bro
Just relax and make some tea at 4:18 :) No coffee though!
Honestly I would probably just stop using YouTube altogether if I was forced to use it unmodified.
I never understood how a chatroom took off as a tool to document stuff. Who seriously thinks this is a good idea? 😵
My takeaway is more like: This one almost made it through and was caught by accident. How much more backdoors actually were not caught and made it through? I would bet some money on it being more than 0 :(
I guess it is impossible to say what would have happened if Google never used XMPP. To me it mostly looks like google joined XMPP and made it way bigger than it was before and eventually left it again, making it small again. But is it worse than before Google even joined?
Maybe, but can we say for sure?
Maybe the lesson is not “don’t let the big corporate players in”, but rather “make sure the development of the underlying protocol itself is done in an open way”. If Google/Meta adds proprietary extensions, just don’t add them to the main protocol. If they leave the protocol again or changed their implementation in a way that is largely incompatible with the open version, nothing is lost than what they brought in initially. Doesn’t that make sense?
I’m actually curious about “Embrace Extend Extinguish”: What can they do? They “extend” the ActivityPub protocol in a proprietary way, ok. Doesn’t mean any other instance has to use that, no? Ok, that would mean if an instance doesn’t follow that extension, it can’t interact optimally with Threads, but how does it matter? To me it seems all that can be lost by that is the content/user base that Threads brings into the Fediverse and then we are at the same point as we would be if we defederated immediately. Maybe I’m missing something here?
But it couldn’t be easier to just set up a second remote, that isn’t GitHub with just vanilla Git, if you don’t trust Microsoft (Or even fully switching to a different remote). Why is there a need for something else in addition?
I had a printer from HP but rarely had to print anything. It happened way too often, that I had to buy a new cartridge, because the old one dried up. Soo annoying… Now I have a laser printer from brother and it’s much better! No more drying up! I guess this is more about technology than it is brand, but it somehow was fitting here😄
This is the correct link: https://revanced.app/ or even Github directly: https://github.com/revanced
I think revanced . net should not be trusted
Maybe I will take a look at that, why not?
But no solution is really free. Either you pay directly (Kagi), or it is paid through ads (Google) or it is some free open source solution, which then is paid through the time people put into it in their free time and in that case there should be donations or contributions as well, at least from people who can afford it. 🤷♂️
It doesn’t really matter to me if they use their own crawler or use results from another search engine. What matters to me is the results i’m seeing for my search queries. And if they “roll in the ads later” or the service deteriorates, I can still switch to another search engine.
No need for “just trust us”, if you can just compare the product yourself🤷♂️
Don’t forget to run some docker container on that VM, to encapsulate the workload, so it will be: SSH to VM -> open a shell into the container -> run the rest
