Yes I should. A proper website that explains what it is and contains docs about the client API (that also doesn't exist yet) is something I plan to have for 1.0. In the meantime, here it is live on my server: https://friends

The problem is that all mainstream social media has degenerated into entertainment. Staying up to date about the lives of people you know irl is seemingly no longer their intended purpose. But people's need to connect in this way — jus

The problem is that this particular project uses camera and wireless networking, both requiring very non-trivial drivers. It is possible, in principle, to do it on bare metal, but getting the required peripherals working won't be easy.

It's not because of that, it's primarily because the military won't give up the frequencies used for 5G elsewhere.

No such plans in Russia. No plans to deploy 5G either tho

Needs more ™s. USB-C and LTE, but a 0.3 MP camera is a very odd combination. I'm impressed that it's even possible to source a camera module this crappy in 2024.

> DoH means that each application does its own DNS queries, instead of using the OS's functionality. HUH?! No! You aren't supposed to implement DNS on the application level! Most modern OSes support some form of DNS over TLS at

DoH and similar technologies don't override /etc/hosts. They're just a different way of making DNS queries. The entire point of these technologies is to prevent your ISP and everyone else along the way from knowing which

Do people maximize the browser window on a 1440p monitor? I don't. Mine is usually around half the width of the screen because most sites don't stretch beyond that in a sensible way.

The technology was, and still is, amazing. It's unmatched by anything in the modern days. Supposed modern replacements require you to write non-trivial code just to get started, while flash introduced programming very gently. You could

We as a civilization are terrible at getting over things, it seems.

Maybe not filling up but wearing out the flash chip itself. If it was filling up, then a factory reset should've helped.

Sorry I forgot that people do "front end" these days. I was thinking of the old-school server-side-rendered web apps that load almost instantly, not the modern spinner-fest ones.

On Twitter you can at least just switch to the "following" chronological feed and forget that the algorithmic one exists.

The testing part of math education in Russia is anything but excellent in my own experience. You have to do EVERYTHING from memory. So it tests your memory first, your actual understanding second. I've always had serious problems with

BTW there also exists the same code search tool for Android (AOSP): https://cs.android.com I use it all the time as an Android app developer. Its introduction was a big deal, because before that, it was common among Android deve

> Certain digital image editing programs that have masking features may use a red overlay to designate masked areas, mimicking the use of actual Rubylith film. Oh so that's why masking mode in Photoshop is a red overlay?! TIL.

Lithography masks for early integrated circuits were drawn by hand iirc.

That's a problem with a lot of modern desktop UIs. The industry has somehow unlearned how to use multiple windows. Everything is a tablet app in a single window now.

This time it might be different. Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter are all terminally enshittified with no hope for reversal. A social media service that makes enshittification a technical impossibility has a lot of appeal in this context.

FYI there are two ways to keep the screen on at the native API level: a window flag (screen doesn't turn off while your window is active) or a WakeLock (screen doesn't turn off while your app is running, even in background). Neith

DNS-based blocking? As someone living in a country with ever-increasing internet censorship, that's not blocking, that's a trivially ignorable gentle suggestion to not visit these sites.

The good thing about these global chains is that you see the logo anywhere in the world and you know exactly what to expect inside. Other that that, yes, Starbucks (and Stars Coffee it became here in Russia) is just a massively overpriced c

I don't understand how does one come to this conclusion. In my own experience, most people will do what you ask them to do as long as your instructions are clear enough. Downloading and installing an apk on an Android phone is no diffe
