I can run Postgres with no cryptobro crap required. Huge advantage. If people don't want to trust my instance, then we can start signing blobs so my instance only shovels dumb data around that anybody can verify being authentic. If rel

Why the hell do I need to "own" something online? Whatever I publish, people can do whatever the hell they want with it. I don't want DRM incorporated into the internet. Blockchain is a scam and anybody parroting its supposed

What's your argument against Java? It's a solid, proven technology.

This is absolutely irrelevant for the situation. I did similar things, yet you cannot deny that Youtube is hugely important for people's viewpoints on world politics. This isn't about you or me.

>C# is becoming a dominant systems language In 2022 everything is a system programming language. Next on that list is Javascript, I am sure.

It's probably a very interesting domain and pays exceptionally well.

I actually didn't know that, thanks. Then I'd change OVH to Migadu, which works well too. And in my book it's already a good start if something is not hosted by Microsoft :)

There's your error - why use Slack, Google, Dropbox? Why not host a Rocketchat, Jitsi, Syncthing/sftp share and manage that using OpenIPA or some other LDAP server suite? This mindset makes me so sad. We have all the tools we need
309.
by lpcvoid 5y ago
Why is that? I know people who run large businesses on OVH hosted email. Own domain, SMTP/IMAP goodness, everything just works, cheap and portable. Why would I ever want to ensnare me or my users to a Microsoft owned service?

Behind a privacy respecting paywall if they want. Let the market decide if their content is worth some dollar amount. Advertisement is never the answer, IMO.

I never heard of this before, went to the site, saw it's some new blockchain rugpull with a new coat of paint, and closed the tab. I mean, they literally want me to be a "snark producer", so here we go.

That video indeed looks like it's targeting women in specific, yeah.

This was pretty much always the case with these old school forums. They where always pretty fast if run on decent hardware. Unlike modern web things.

Actually, no. Thanks for the hint, I'll be testing that soon :)

Yet the site does not have access to biometrics. What point are you making?

You get efficiency basically for free with C++/Qt, unlike all of the Electron trash that gets pushed out. It's such a selfish way of thinking - "I don't care if my users can use efficient software, I just care about shoe

It's also Qt Widgets based, which is even more interesting IMO. Just really, really good engineering that happened here.

This is the main problem with Matrix for me. If they would just develop a good desktop client, I would be all over it.

Moving those discussions into a searchable website/forum would benefit everybody.

You can be against boundless capitalism and bitcoin at the same time, strange huh?

I feel you. I don't like Pascal much these days either - I used to use Delphi for a long time back in the dark ages. That was absolutely fantastic, and I argue that we never got anything as good as that ever again. Lazarus is close. Ar

Counterpoint: This does nothing that Lazarus/Freepascal [1] can't do more efficiently. Or wxwidgets/Qt to a lesser extent, ease-of-use wise. [1] https://www.lazarus-ide.org/

I, for one, would chose PHP8 over Javascript all day, every day. And there seem to be millions like me.

I think they don't consider that because it's a rail system. Re-arranging cars on route would require many junctions, and would probably slow down the whole system when they separate. It's also a different problem that they a

Why do you think it is?

I still remember Win 3.1 as being incredibly fast UI wise (once loaded), a feeling that propagated until around the Win7 era. As soon as this newer, non win32 stuff started happening in Windows, I lost that feeling. I have it again on Lin

Yeah, it's unfortunate. No money in a small minority.

I, for one, would love if UIs looked like it's 1995 again. Imagine the crispness, everything is fast, responsive and written in sensible languages. A simpler, and better time.

I agree with regards to the trailing slash, but in my opinion URLs should correlate with filesystems, since they share many properties.
