I agree, that's the biggest appeal. But on Linux, there isn't really a "system webview", so they use webkit2gtk. Most systems happen to have this installed as a dependency for something else, so it's a reasonable ch

Cool, is the core sales pitch still a lie on Linux? Yes? Lovely, no thanks then. </snark> The big appeal of Tauri is that you don't need to ship a webview with every app. On Linux, Tauri not only ships its own webview, it&#x

Why are y'all so scared only when it's the government using the companies to influence people. The companies do it themselves already and in a much more insidious way than any government likely will. You are already being fed prop

Don't forget the second half of that feedback loop: other manufacturers come out with their poor approximations of those features at lower prices, consumption shifts to that because quality isn't clear from the labels, the quality

People definitely care about things that a more open platform brings you, but today's open platforms have really bad downsides. The thing is, those downsides are artificial. They were manufactured by the corporations that prefer to be

I think the point is more "in order to prevent people from scraping their site, which is against their ToS, they scraped some other site, against its ToS".

DKIM isn't an antispam measure, it's an anti-impersonation measure. With DKIM, you can't impersonate a domain, which means you can trust that any email you get from an email provider was sent in accordance with that provider&

How is it not? For all but some old and insecure or fairly exotic setups, DKIM/DMARC validates the sender server is authorised for that domain and the server's account-based outbound filtering validates it was sent by the owner of

Yes, but there are also plenty of countries where mobile data or even smartphones aren't nearly as universal as they might be in the places where most people use whatsapp. There, people use mostly SMS and phone calls. Whatsapp and the

Firstly, dynamic IPs are quickly reused, so if one customer get an IP onto a bunch of firewall blocklists because they were operating services that got exploited (like an open relay for spam, email backscatter generator, dns that was used f

Calling this "paying to unlock ports" is disingenuous. I'm also a T-2 customer and have run into this before. They block ports on dynamic IPs, but if you pay +2€/mo for static, this is unlocked. This seems reasonable. If

I'd agree if you picked Google Docs or something like that, but Gmail? Chrome?? Come on! Edge is just Chrome with extra features, plenty of people use Bing without even noticing and many even non-techy people are fine with DuckDuckGo,

Here in EU even the 5 €/month phone plans have unlimited SMS. As soon as you want to talk to someone without Whatsapp, you need to figure out which other apps they're on. Completely useless compared to SMS Have you considered that

The wording is only secondary to my point, which is that this isn't something to prevent. It's not "a security thing". You said "to mitigate the MiTM attack". It's not an attack and nobody should be trying

1. This was not a mitm attack, it was lawful mitm inspection of a user's own traffic. Mitm attacks are prevented by TLS and the system CA store already. 2. Please don't give people bad ideas. This is how we get bikeshare apps that

I see the lack of cert pinning as a sign of having a good security team. Pinning is usually implemented as "we had an external security audit and their report said we should". Security auditors and pentesters tend to add this kind

You on the inside can punch a hole to the outside. This is fine. There's no real difference between hole punching and a regular connection to a regular server from one side's perspective.

And since LLM tokens are expensive and generation is slow, how about we cache that generated code on the server side, so people can just download the pre-generated install.sh? And since not everyone can be bothered to audit LLM code, the pu

There are so many types of headphones that don't isolate much, including the cheapest crappy on-ears from the walkman era, there's really no excuse. And on the few occasions where I've had no other option, it made so much mor

The whole "markdown isn't standardised" point is just bullshit. Any place that supports markdown will support the basics and some places having extra features is a good thing! The only thing worse than not having a feature yo

I have a similar, but in one way even more insane story, although I was paid more of an employee than a consultant hourly rate. I worked at a big critical infrastructure type company for a good two months and I was supposed to work on-site

Well yes, that's kind of my point. I understood "just use a peertube instance and the web geolocation api" to mean using GPS for location. Outdoor navigation is more or less solved, but indoor doesn't benefit from GPS at

Are you saying this doesn't do any kind of positioning? Just plays when the accelerometer shows movement and stops when it doesn't? I need to try this at some point because it really feels like that wouldn't work. People walk

by franga2000 10mo ago
All of this sounds great for outdoor navigation, but then again, if you're outdoors with good GPS, you don't really need video navigation, a map will do the trick. Video is best for indoor navigation, which is where positioning is

Wayland is not a compositor. Being more maintaned than Xorg doesn't mean anything because wayland doesn't do a tenth of the things Xorg did. What used to be maintained in one codebase by Xorg devs is now duplicated in at least thr

The tools very commonly don't work as advertised tho, but people still buy them because of the incredible promises of increased efficiency. And since it's usually not easy to measure, they keep paying, sometimes companies even for

But they...don't. Look at the CPU to GPU ratio in any business vs an "AI business". Outside of a few specific verticals, nobody had GPUs in servers.

I really don't get the appeal to have everything om one top-level domain, especially completely separate or even external services. The scope of this would've been basically zero if they just put it on docs.discord.com. Especially

Makes sense, my bad, but even that is something I've never seen. I guess this is mostly a Windows thing? I've luckily never had the misfortune of having to deploy Python code on Windows.
