https://git-annex.branchable.com/todo/Bittorrent-like_features/ – Use IPFS as a special git-annex remote, and it will be nearly impossible to execute a take-down.

If you have other “decentralized filesystems” that have “better” behavior than IPFS, you might see if joeyh or yourself can add them as other special remotes.

I see editability as generally an improvement, especially since the older versions are still visible with a couple of clicks. Reddit titles are not editable. Tweets used to be uneditable; toots are.

No [email protected] ? How the mighty have fallen.

It’s still my favorite for now, though I do find Idris and Purescript compelling, too, for different reasons.

Makes me remember when I used Konqueror with FF as a fallback before Chrome existed.

As an American, I’d like the boycott to be more targeted. But yes, every company that licks the boots of this obviously fascist regime should see no more sales. I don’t have a full list, but it includes at least Meta, Alphabet (Google), and Amazon.

Signal, Wire, and Jami all support group chats that are E2EE. Discord’s reasons for not doing it might not be sinister, but they don’t need that level of access to your content in order to provide their core service.

TIL. That sucks.

Definitions are tricky, and especially for terms that are broadly considered virtuous/positive by the general public (cf. “organic”) but I tend to deny something is open source unless you can recreate any binaries/output AND it is presented in the “preferred form for modification” (i.e. the way the GPLv3 defines the “source form”).

A disassembled/decompiled binary might nominally be in some programming language–suitable input to a compiler for that langauge–but that doesn’t actually make it the source code for that binary because it is not in the form the entity most enabled to make a modified form of the binary (normally the original author) would prefer to make modifications.

Get it early on Nebula! https://nebula.tv/lilyalexandre

If you haven’t tried Nebula, PM me, and I think I still have a guest pass for a free week.

I saw that video on Nebula and it was the first I’d heard of this dude, but I still found the video fascinating.

Yeah, they even finally rebranded the YT channel last year so it is now Dropout instead of CollegeHumor. They are doing some interesting stuff currently (Gamechanger is almost always good), and all their old sketches and programs are there too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bFnZsvh6pw posits that it’s because he was raised believing in eternal life through the church, and lost his faith but still wants eternal life.

I want optional mortality, yes. https://www.fullmoon.nu/Resurrection/PrimarySpecies.html

But, I gotta say, I don’t want to spend literally all my time just surviving, which seems to be this anti-aging zealot’s day.

I ended up getting a lifetime subscription, and it’s definitely worth it, but it’s not a replacement for YT entirely.

Dropout.tv has good comedy videos which is largely lacking from Nebula, but I find it buffers more often for me, which makes it uniquely bad among all the streaming services I’ve used.

But, I watch plenty of fan compilations / animatics for stuff on YT from my recommendations, and I haven’t found them anywhere else either because they don’t exist or because they don’t get recommended to me. It seems difficult for that kind of stuff to exist without free, easy uploads AND free, easy viewing.

Finally there are some people that primarily do Twitch that I subscribe to on YT. I’ve tried watching them on Twitch, and I prefer the content after their YT editor has worked their magic.

Himmler was a German Nazi leader and the chief architect of the Holocaust

– https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Himmler

His pronouns would’ve been He/Himmler!

– Elmu

I think it’s probably fair to call punning on the name “Himmler” to be a “Holocaust joke”, but I can also understand if someone doesn’t think it is.

I thought they had successfully converted around the time they got the infusion of funds from MS. I thought they were started as a not-for-profit, but were already shady-as-shit when they stopped publishing stuff under open licenses.

That rate seems high. But, I have done post-mortems on a bad developer’s run at a company, and found they did very nearly nothing. No commits, no issues opened or closed, some comments, but that was almost their entire digital footprint.

Most developers I’ve worked with are obviously not doing nothing, though some of us (including myself) get stuck doing a lot of work on a project that never makes it into production due to shifting priorities.

KFC / Pizza Hut / Taco Bell – the only restaurant you need!

At very least there’s an OCX for InteractiveHtmlView or some stuff. It’s how South Korean banks apps run. I think even the EU-specific “unbundled IE” versions still have that ActiveX / OLE control registered, though it might be crippled.

Although, he admits in the video to “faking” his footage of it working, by using a off-camera heat source. (His batteries were quite dead.)

But, as someone that lived through this time, they did work, as long as you pressed hard enough in the right places. It was hard to tell if the battery was dead or if you weren’t pressing hard enough
