  • There is a metadata protocol called opengraph, it's how apps get the information to display a rich preview. Basically the app takes the link as it's written in the SMS message or Twitter thread and then it tries to fetch that page and then read the open graph metadata from inside. That should give it enough to show a title description and a background image, considering the web developers implemented opengraph.

    If Google is planning to use their own servers basically as a proxy then all this means is that the opengraph rich metadata is going to be a little more stale than if the app just fetch the page and generated the rich metadata itself

  • If you go to the complaints section, it's a form that sends a letter to your local state representative

  • "the natural consequences of your own decisions" is the best answer I have to most things

  • Exactly that, if I change a pixel then the cryptographic signature breaks

  • The NFTs tried to solve this problem already and it didn't work. You can change the hash/sig of a video file by just changing one pixel on one frame, meaning you just tricked the computer, not the people who use it.

  • Why are these apps being distributed on app stores

    Why are these apps not PWAs with an app store deployment wrapper???

  • The windows machine was keeping secrets and refusing to do what I tell it

    I want to run some code, let's have a discussion about admin privileges and finding the correct shell app and oh shit "something went wrong"

    Linux just doesn't say no, if I do something wrong it tells me exactly why it was wrong. So I guess visibility is why I jumped

  • I started using git to track my dotfiles maybe one-ish years after I first fully adopted Linux as my daily driver.. I think it's been a little over 5 years and before I converted to nix that git history told a story of immense frustration of never being able to get my desktop and laptop to be identical. For some reason some projects only ran on one of the 2 machines. There was a period in my life when I didn't use my desktop for 2 months because it just didn't work well enough, OCD is really fucking painful. Nix saved my relationship with both of my computers, and my desk, and my spine. I haven't used my laptop and maybe a month and I may have changed my workstation a couple hundred times in this period, I will with absolute confidence say that the next time I decide to use my laptop I can just run git pull and nixos rebuild and my laptop will be just the same as my desktop (minus obligatory build fixes ¯(ツ)/¯)

  • Reports are not just to confirm that good times are still good... They're for detecting and observing the bad times.

  • I almost feel like the compromise we will eventually land on is that if an OS maker like Microsoft wants to continue advertising on your OS they have to take some liability for its security.

  • I bought these 3 weeks ago bc my chiropractor recommended, the Atrex insoles are also really nice. I've been walking better and maybe I can stand for >1 hr now ¯(ツ)

    Edit: meant to write "chiropractor" instead of therapist

  • Thanks for the reference point, I weigh about the same so I guess I don't have to be able to carry a person

  • Is inviting strangers an option

    How?

  • There isnt much to do in my city

    Could I ask for reference which city you're based in? Or local municipality within what ever legal system governs the place you live in? Whatever you're comfortable with

  • but if you can’t stand for 40 minutes+ then I think the first thing to work on is your endurance

    I am not disabled, there is no reason why I shouldn't be able to stand for 40 mins, or do 10 pushups, or lift myself over a wall, or carry someone my exact weight a distance of idk 60m???? Why shoudn't I beable to do these things?? Ok, thank you for helping me type this

  • Listed some of it in this comment: https://programming.dev/post/37296315/19332878

    but I’m wondering if you are planning things which are a bit niche

    There was variaty. I strived to recommend varying levels of specificity in the plans, anywhere from requiring tickets to just going to the park bc I'm sick of being inside.

  • I started doing things that I want, and if others join me, thats awesome, if noone comes along I’ll just go alone.

    Nobody knows what I do.. that means I should post it on instagram but how does that help when I posted something in the past? I could post it in advance?? That feels rude!!!.

  • they are a (big?) 2 group of people that you meet once or twice a year and when you do you don’t enjoy it

    That is what it has been recently. Prior to that it has been gigantic groups of which I belonged to a subset of 2~6 outcasted people who usually represented 90% of my awareness of the rest of the group.

    I know why I was an outcast for most of my youth, I've fixed that.

    At most, I would consider them acquaintances.

    That's the thing, those two were the people who I feel like I had the deepest connection with ever. They were there when most of my support circle went away and I think I even had a crush on one of them. But the thing is that I realized that my relationship with the one I had a crush on was completely my own projection who I objectivly know very little about and the other one was a semi transactional relationship. Was any of it ever real?

    Join meetups

    The meetup app has gone downhill hard in NYC, I've just about given up on it

    such on topics of your interest and try to scout for interesting people in there

    :+1:

  • going somewhere, putting things in our mouths and yapping the day/night away

    I fucking hate that this is all that I have. I am so dry and 2 dimentional, I'm litterally just [ Gay, Linux ]. I'm searching so fucking hard for more
