I am but a cog in a machine. A lazy one though.

  • The challenge of maintaining curl

  • I knew people in general are terrible to whoever is providing something for free but WTF.

    Atleast he also gets occasionally nice emails

    He concluded the brief talk with one last email; it was from an 11-year-old child who had found curl useful in some project they were working on. It included an expression of gratitude that, Stenberg said, was truly heartwarming.

  • Microsoft still can't convince folks to upgrade to Windows 11

  • I have been called by friends, family friends, and their friends to help with this and so many have hardware that is not supported, and some are not able to afford a new PC right now. That's my limited and personal experience about this.

    I have reservations about installing Linux Mint/other for these people because I don't have time to help right now and you do need sometimes help if you are slightly tech aware but not enough to be able to troubleshoot yourself or search for right info. For folks who barely touch any settings and just use it for docs + web it's easy, but for others not always.

    Microsoft is such an ass for doing this.

  • That is so relieving to hear, awesome!

  • From the article:

    As Voge from the Internet Society explains, Germany is key because there's a new government in charge. The previous government was indeed very pro-encryption – seeking to make encryption a legal right at home, while strongly opposing mandatory scanning in the block. Yet, the new administration "is giving very mixed messages and no one can definitively say what's going to happen on Friday," Voge added.

    I really like the idea of encryption as a legal right.

  • On top of all of this, these fucks don't seem to be worried about their own encryption outside of office / position.

    Fucking idiots. Has anyone told them that them using any of their free-time devices would be suspectible to any exploit that this introduces too (and it will)? Oh, got a new iPad for home? Guess what, you are important enough that a zero-day exploit was worth it to be used on you. Would they get off their career-high for one moment and think...

  • Soulslike CSS game: https://csshell.com/

    It's not an actual "CSS game" but instead drives the most competent CSS person over the edge.

  • what's your ringtone?

  • Honestly I don't know. My phone's been on silent/vibration for a few years now.

  • That makes me really angry and sad... I knew there is a lot of abuse and trafficking happening in the adult material industry, but this is my first time reading about it. Thanks for brining this to my attention.

  • I'll be sure to give you a notice! I will probably make a post about it (which you are welcome to do sooner if you wish!) to e.g. !books@lemmy.world too!

    Follow up if you have time: what book you've read recently that you'd like to recommend?

  • That's very possible! I mean as a user I also do like stability (had to instance hop quite a few times when I joined fediverse due to them shutting down) but also see resiliency and strenght in being able to spin up an instance of a platform we are all familiar with. When people leave reddit they don't have similar alternatives with many users, but on lemmy/piefed we can always migrate and stay on the same platform with different rules and administrators.

    Of course that's simplifying the whole topic, but I'm not that worried about fediverse. But you are right of course that for new users who are on the edge already this might be a big dealbreaker. That's why I always suggest bigger instances first. Once you are comfortable with fedi/threadiverse you can migrate to a smaller instance (I did exactly that once I figured out how this all works). I know lemm.ee shutting down probably made a noticable chunk of people give up on fediverse because we didn't see any instance completely fill the void that lemm.ee's weekly activity left.
