I think it's important to highlight the difference between private group chats (e.g. the discord I have with my high school friends) and community hubs. For example, some discord servers serve as the entire knowledge base for some open

Off the top of my head: It's easy to use, nice-looking, easy to create your own community (in seconds), feature-rich, and completely free. The downside of things not being searchable/preserved long-term is not all that important t

This has always been the case. That's why you'll sometimes see posts from [deleted].

Yeah, I actually meant GPT-3.5 when I said GPT-3. I haven't personally tried GPT-4 at all. I'm actually happy with Bard, but it seems like I'm the only one.

I assume you're using GPT-4? In my (albeit limited) experience, Bard is way better than GPT-3 at helping me talk through bugs I'm dealing with.

just anecdotal, but I've had a .in domain (as a foreigner) for years, and I've never had any problems—how do they normally arise? and it's at namecheap, too, with whom I haven't historically had the greatest experiences

random note, in case you feel like making your links more globally accessible: archive.today's .ph domain is blocked in my country (as is .today), though the rest of its domains (which you can find below) still work https://

Safari also has random weird (read: highly annoying) things where it purports to support a given component of the WebExtensions API, and then totally doesn't. Storage.sync is a perfect example—why I should have to build my own syncing

in my experience, a ton of chrome extensions (at least MV2 ones) work in FF basically out of the box it's not necessarily true the other way around, though, because there are some weird things that google chooses not to support (e.g. p

Was that the same interview in which Elon lied through his teeth and claimed that the Allen, Texas shooter did not hold white supremacist beliefs (despite tons of open source evidence and even the confirmation of local police) and that Bell

this is everything I wanted to know and more, all in one comment—thank you

maybe put the bit it said in quotes? I didn't read closely enough myself the first time, it took your subsequent comments to make me realize what you'd done

What's your definition of a "decent quality of life," out of curiosity?

afaik they're still developing the java version as well, though

given the lack of information, I won't poat any comments here, either

I think ff's containers are generally more powerful. Here's a random example: I live outside of the country I was born in, but I still have bank accounts and stuff there. These bank accounts freak out if I log in from my actual IP

damn, I actually wanted to read about that cable edit: I just checked archive.is and it's...there? under what circumstances do I get redirected to that nsfw meme?

by bjord 4y ago
this won't stop the overall trend, but it can help you get around cloudflare's effective scraping blocking (copying my comment from a previous thread): If you're scraping with Python, try cloudscraper—among other things(!), i

it seems like their collection began as a libgen mirror, but expanded far beyond it (and was definitely heavily monetized) the move might've had something to do with mobilization in russia, though I'm just guessing

If you're scraping with Python, try cloudscraper—among other things(!), it supports JS rendering (basically the bare-minimum check cloudflare does), without needing to run a full browser in the background. It's built on requests,

everything I've read suggests that they are, in fact, E2EE of course, they're not open source, so I'm not really going to bat for them here, but am I missing something? https://authy.com/blog/how-the-au

just a guess, but maybe it has something to do with the fact that the link is never actually handled externally? as in, the signal.tube domain is never resolved, it may as well just be a string

it's not a real solution, but one can always use a forwarder to ship it from the US (that's what I did)

yeah, this is cool, but in the future, wouldn't it be better to just skip the link shorteners?
