Apparently MacOS apps can be sandboxed and store data securely such that no other apps can access it, in an encrypted format. I wasn’t aware of this either, but it’s been a while since I’ve used MacOS. It sounds like the ChatGPT app explicitly opted out from this sandboxing model.

On Linux, input-remapper usually works pretty well to remap the extra buttons. I wonder if it’d work on this AI button.

EV certs used to make the address bar green, so there was a tangible benefit to them. These days, they look exactly the same. It proves that the ownership has been verified, but if no users even see that, does it even matter?

If you run a website: Paid SSL/TLS certificates. Free ones like Let’s Encrypt and ZeroSSL are just as good, and can be automatically renewed.

I hate that these commercial providers are the first thing people think of when they hear “VPN” these days, rather than the actual main use case for a VPN (connecting to a remote network, like a work network, from another location).

AirVPN are probably the best. They’re independent, more transparent than the other providers, and support port forwarding.

Probably ozempic, since people going off it immediately balloon back up

Doesn’t that mean that it’s actually working, though? It has an effect when you’re using it, and the effect goes away when you stop using it.

Also the version for weight loss is called Wegovy.

In E2E tests you should ideally be finding elements using labels or ARIA roles. The point of an E2E test is to use the app in the same way a user would, and users don’t look for elements by class name or ID, and definitely not by data-testid.

The more your test deviates from how real users use the system, the more likely it is that the test will break even though the actual user experience is fine, or vice versa.

This is encouraged by Testing Library and related libraries like React Testing Library. Those are for unit and integration tests though, not E2E tests. I’m not as familiar with the popular E2E testing frameworks these days (we use an internally developed one at work).

In an alternate reality, we’d all be using JSSS, which was even worse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript_Style_Sheets

It’s the radical moderators and developers of Lemmy that censor and delete posts and comments that fit their narrative.

The entire point of Lemmy and other decentralized and federated systems is that no one entity is in control of it. It’s not like a site like Reddit where the whole thing is controlled by one company.

They can only delete posts and comments from servers they’re moderators of. That’s probably just a few servers out of the thousands that exist. Nobody’s forcing any user to use those servers. If you don’t like the moderation on one server just move to a different one.

I’m hoping there will be a fork or new federation project that doesn’t have baggage.

Why fork it if the software works well as-is?

You can run your own Lemmy server and defederate from every other server if you want to, or only federated with a few hand-picked servers.

This is the case with a lot of apps that follow SemVer, even though it’s not an official part of the spec. It’s not specific to Rust.

The other common thing I see is that if it’s been at 0.x for a long time, the minor version number eventually gets “promoted” to a major version number once the app is stable. For example, React went from 0.14.x to 15.0.0.

The “automatically includes a hashtag with new posts” link goes to the wrong PR.

It’s actually not different from having a right wing billionaire buying a social media.

The difference with X/Twitter is that if you want to use it, you’re stuck with Elon Musk and the types of people that still use it.

With Lemmy, you can join an instance that has values you agree with, or even run your own instance and defederate/block any instances or people you don’t want to see. You’re not forced to see any particular communities or people.

Do you know the political views of the developers of every piece of software you use? Why is Lemmy different?

I self-host mine using Mailcow, but I use an outbound SMTP relay for sending email so I don’t have to deal with IP reputation. L

I solved this by installing solar panels. They produce more electricity than I need (enough to cover charging an EV in when I get one in the future), and I should break even (in terms of cost) within 5-6 years of installation. Had them installed last year under NEM 2.0.

I know PG&E want to introduce a fixed monthly fee at some point, which throws off my break-even calculations a bit.

Some VPS providers have good deals and you can often find systems with 16GB RAM and NVMe drives for around $70-100/year during LowEndTalk Black Friday sales, so it’s definitely worth considering if your use cases can be better handled by a VPS. I have both - a home server for things like photos, music, and security camera footage, and VPSes for things that need to be reliable and up 100% of the time (websites, email, etc)

I think it’s so people here can give themselves a pat on the pack for self hosting lol.

Like how the Linux Lemmy community has so many “Windows is bad, Linux is good” posts. Practically everyone in there already knows that Linux is good.

What is a “top” story on Lemmy, given everyone subscribes to different communities? Is it the most popular across all communities?

specifically it has physical buttons below the screens to control the entire car with physical buttons. That was a hard requirement of mine.

I’d love to get an EV with physical buttons too. My current car is a 2012 Mazda 3, but I want to get a EV to take advantage of my solar panels.

The Kona looks nice. Do you know if it supports Qi wireless charging, and wireless Android Auto?
