So... why would you be more careful with that than Google or Bing? No matter what search engine you use, you will have a company with their agenda behind it.

You come here to write that, but you never bother to tell us why? The issue with "wokeness" is that the people who adhere to these ideologies tries to shoehorn it into every single aspect of their lives and to every single thing t

And.. where does the revenue come from? Nearly all increase is from Google and their deal with them, a deal that was done before Brendan became CEO. So the revenue would increase no matter who became CEO.

Windows is spyware, every time you update it asks if it can use a keylogger on you and track you. It doesn't matter if you've said no before. There is not a single windows application that doesn't include a lot of telemetry.

As an european, I host all my services on european companies. That way I can get customers that have very specific data storage requirements.

Well your computer usually gives away more clues than just the ip so it's pretty easy to fingerprint you online.

Well that is your opinion and as a tax payer that pays like 60% tax I strongly disagree with your opinion and applaud DOGE and would vote to bring a similar system to my country.

Doesn't matter if you use Windows / Mac because it will ping their services before you jump on the VPN and it will know the before IP and the IP after. :)

Interesting, I wish there was something like DOGE in my country as well. So much government spending that is ridiculous, unnecessary and wasteful. As an example of that, we (Sweden) have an unemployment agency (as one of many, many examples

Which works, until you have mass immigration from MENA-countries that results in a huge rise in criminality which makes everyone afraid because any criminal can look you up from the license plate or simply by searching for your name and ins

As a european that until recently owned 20+ chickens I can tell you no, it is not the answer unless you really want your own chickens. Owning your own chickens has a bunch of downsides: - They get sick / get parasites and may require e

I'm guessing you're probably right which makes me kind of wonder how java devs get any work done at all.

by staticelf 2y ago
I work at a company that is based on a large java application. The main app takes around 20-30 seconds to startup and while it probably does a lot of stupid shit that have accumulated over the years I believe this is more common in javaland

Love the idea and the community aspect! The issue with local first web dev in my experience is two fold: 1. It's super hard. The problem of syncing data is super hard to solve and there is little support from modern tooling. Mostly bec

I think people give the US a lot of unnecessary shit. I don't think my government releases any zero days but I am sure they must have found some. Every government today probably uses zero days but it seems very few release information

Not only do OpenAI and other steal data, they also spam the web with requests and crawl websites over and over. https://pod.geraspora.de/posts/17342163

I agree, most websites would benefit greatly from using something like Phoenix Liveview, Hotwire, Livewire etc. That way you get all the benefits of a SPA without having to deal with the extra complexity of double state management. I wish I

I think this varies wildly on the type of app you're building. If you are building something like CRUD interfaces obviously a server side focus is very viable and useful since you don't have to have double state management. I am t

In what way was Musk not doing a roman salute or just throwing his heart out to the masses?

And yet Trump easily won the election. I think your "everyone" is a minority.

Because they are not confusing it. They believe in the opposite political opinion and want to smear their believed opponents whenever possible.

Yes the entire statement is false.

Yes, that is what I am saying.

Elixir + Phoenix Liveview is such a mind blowing set of software. It really is something different that works so well for the majority of web applications. I really do recommend everyone to try it out.

People just don't care (anymore) unless it affects them personally. I have no idea if it used to be like that or if is a function of modern society where you get accustomed to it due to a lifestyle that is good for the majority of the

Yeah I kind of agree with what you're saying, the main issue for me is that I work in web dev and very few people are like you are and would pay for local first software. I have a hard time even convincing people I know hate cloud spyw

I have always liked the idea of local first. The problem with it though, is that it almost always suck or isn't that important or both. At least for myself, I barely use any local first software. The software that I do use that is loc

I would probably say it's impossible to tell so both are equal in that security regard. I would say other things like tracking for example poses a higher security risk and for that reason makes Firefox the safer choice. But you have ot

"Safe" by whose definition? I mean, if you're talking about woke people in SF well, I'd rather take the unsafe one please.
