The same thing that happens when a peer accesses an illegal torrent on his country? How is this relevant? It is a decentralized system, it shouldn't make a difference.

I was thinking exactly this when I stumbled upon your comment, except I figured it should work for any private tab and it'd also need a browser that makes tabs private (and contained) by default. It's a solution more easily solved

So, couldn't you keep a database? Many people would upload the same url, whichever ones are bogus would get a low score, like shadowbanning. Say, use a dht with proof-of-work and things should work? Obviously I'm oversimplifying,

I see no denial in his quote. Instead, I see warnings not to take US-centric accounts of the events without a ton of salt, because the US had interests in portraying them in a specific way in order to further an agenda.

For some years now, Google Images has been pretty awful to navigate, all thanks to Pinterest. I do hope Google is just unaware of the mentioned "hack", because the other option is they do not care because Pinterest helps them thro

Like others said, from a pov of global economics and current geopolitics, it might not make sense. But when you factor in sustainability , independence from the system and health , things begin to make more sense. Mono-cultures degrade

Hello, also a developer who's interested in agroecology. I actually also left development (as a job, not as something I do) in order to pursue a more human-centric approach to agriculture. With automation, it seems obvious we'll b

I meant it on foobar2000 with its foo_vis_shpeck plugin, which is a wrapper for Winamp visualization plugins. I have run it successfully under Windows but I recall having trouble on Wine some 5 years ago.

I was amazed to find out foobar2000 works great under Wine, including input & output plugins, so I just use it. Best ML management IMO. Can't recall if I ever got the Winamp AVS plugin to work though.

Are the courts powerless too? Can't citizens sue the government? I don't know how exactly the 3 powers work on US, but over here you can also petition courts (including the Supreme Court) to judge whether a given decree by the exe

I don't see a solution other than every application being launched in a separate container, exposing only what the user explicitly gives access to, similar to how mobiles applications require permissions. We have the technology, eg. c

Couldn't that, in principle, be implemented as an Atom plugin? You'd be able to get the HTML output you desire.

What I like about Windows API when compared to GTK is exactly that: the OO/class system is kept at a minimum and is limited to the handling of the widget tree.
137.
by stelonix 7y ago
Exactly this. As a Windows API/GDI developer, I used to loathe the WndProc way, but after looking at how Qt and Gtk do things, I really really miss it; specially considering the aforementioned libraries requires megabytes of space whil

That would be Quora! But I agree, Reddit has pretty poor quality discussions, sometimes with as little depth as most Facebook comments.

By "exploded" I meant when Opera ditched Presto in favor of Blink, becoming basically a Chromium shell.

I've been wanting this for Firefox since Opera exploded. Nice! It also amazes me this kind of "store everything [locally] so life is easier" mindset isn't more common in today's world of extensions. It's one of

I dismissed it as "they probably developed it for Chrome" and then used the inspector to set background to white. I can't imagine how this is not a bug.

Wholeheartedly disagree. I've been watching only english-subtitled entertainment for a good while for two reasons: 1) english dubs generally suck, imho 2) there's always some emotion lost in translation/dubbing And I'm n

See, what this post represents (and all these upvotes) is that there is a number of people who disagree with you and with "cancel culture". We do not believe in taboos as well: everything can be rationally debated and gut reaction

Are there any cheap tape drives? If not, what's the issue? Is it the fact the prices are kept high because it's used mostly by business/enterprises customers? If so, are there any hopes of LTO becoming mainstream for home des

Ok, I gotta say: none of the shaders or scanlines I've tried before ever came close to what I'm seeing in those videos; to the point I'd think "uh looks nice but that's not how I remember from the 90s". Now tha

It looks neat, but I can't use it because it keeps looking up as if I were moving my mouse (I'm not). Running it on Firefox 69 on Linux.

The comment you're replying to is not the person who was banned by ZipCar, but someone else showing why the logic behind the corporativist comment is wrong.
