I've seen this as well. It's getting increasingly normal, but I cannot imagine doing the same myself. There's a much bigger likelihood of me going back to a feature-phone, compared to me starting to use my phone for anything

Oh I think it would work, but I don't think we're willing to do so. No one is going to shutdown/ban Facebook, X or Reddit, regardless of how much good it would do.

Have you noticed how much stuff breaks when Github or NPM is down? People do not cache, they do not mirror, modern development for large parts are just people YOLO-ing it.

Part of this is something I've been thinking about lately. We're reluctant, if not down right unwilling, to un-invent things. By and large we've generally invented things that improve our lives, but with a few slip ups. Some

If they weren't why would Nvidia keep making them? They do seem like an increasingly niche product, but apparently not enough that Nvidia is willing to just exit the market and focus on the datacenters. They aren't just for gaming

The Perl Foundation has a goal to get more smaller donations, rather than a few large ones and it seems like they've been doing okay lately. You're probably correct that this could better be summed up later in the year as one sing

They probably had two brands that made sense, Ray Ban or Oakley, but just by listing those two, it's fairly clear that the products would be perceived vastly different, had they gone with Oakley. The rest of the brands are either luxur

I wasn't talking about a boycott, I was talking brand damage. It's entirely possible to put less value in a brand, without boycotting it. Previously I had Ray Ban in the "Makes high-end expensive sunglasses" category, bu

Which makes you wonder about Ray-Ban. Are they aware that their involvement with Meta risks hurting their brand? Those of us who are critical of Meta might be niche enough that it doesn't matter, but they must have factored that in.

A few years ago people could not stop talking about how great Slack was. Much better than HipChat, Google Chat, Teams, IRC. I've used all of them, Slack was never better. As much as I dislike Google Chat (or whatever they call it), Sla

Nothing mostly. Closest family have a group chat, and I have a few friends hanging out on IRC. For broadcasting, nothing, and I probably never will again. One thing many forget when presenting new ideas for social media platforms is that we

We used it heavily 10 years ago. It was okay, but it had a rocky history. For a long time it seemed abandoned, then Python 3 happened and we had to patch our own version for a while. Then a new maintainer took over and stuff would just brea

That's not really an IPv6 issue, but an ISP issue. My old ISP didn't monitor anything and relies on customers to call them up and explain that their connection is down. Sometimes tell them that their connection to entire towns are

by mrweasel 1y ago
That's not really true anymore. I've used a connection with both IPv4 and 6 for the past two years. There's a number of times where my stuff magically works, whiles others have issues, because my traffic is mostly over IPv6.

Given their need to advertise with pretty much any YouTube channel willing to take their money, I'd be inclined to question the quality the likes of NordVPN and SurfShark.

Running your own DOH server comes with it's own set of risks, depending on your adversary. If you're the only person using a DOH server, then any requests that server make must belong to you. I'd argue that it's better t

NPM does seem vastly over represented in these type of compromises, but I don't necessarily think that e.g. pypi is much better in terms of security. So you could very well be correct that NPM is just a nicer, perhaps bigger, target. I

The Danish MitID identity "service" is actually pretty clever, except for the app used to approve actions or requests on your behalf. It's designed in a way that ensure that it can verify your age, but reveal nothing else abo

The amount of things you can't do in Denmark without a smart phone is terrifying. Technically you can still manage, but it's becoming increasing difficult. Way everything needs to be a fucking app is beyond me. Accessibility and a

I can get a spice mix for tacos/burritos here in Denmark. The spice package assumes 500g of ground beef, which no longer comes in 500g packaging, but only 400g. Not a massive issue, the food is just a bit more spicy.
