  • Far-right websites got hacked and defaced; 6.5 terabytes of data got leaked.

  • Its not even about taxes but straight up class warfare. Lately billionaires noticed that they are not as untouchable as they thought they were and now they're aligned to fix this.

  • Why don't the whole planet just use UTC+00:00 / Universal Time without time zones?

    Jump

  • 100% because 0 is set to UK/France. Utc 0 should have been somewhere in the middle of pacific if it was ever intended to be adopted. Now why would India or smt set their clocks to UK?

    As someone who mostly lives on UTC it's such a sad wasted opportunity and it'll never be widely adopted.

  • What is the most dangerous ideology in the world and what makes it dangerous?

  • As someone who escaped Islam - 100%. Unlike other religions that take original texts as interpretations Islam takes the original texts as literal words of God and is essentially stuck. It's a dead religion that exists only through force.

  • TIL that the Indian subcontinent used to be the largest economy of any region in the world between the 1st and 18th centuries

    Jump

  • Economy of 1800s and economy of 2025 is not even the same thing. So what does this factoid even supposed to mean?

  • Should I stop using Telegram?

    Jump

  • I really distrust telegram. There are some many dark patterns around it and the server is closed source so I'd say the distrust is very well deserved.

  • The plan for nationwide fiber internet might be upended for Starlink

  • The plan for nationwide fiber internet might be upended for Starlink

    Jump

  • As someone who wrote their CS thesis on networks I find starlink infuriating. Its such a terrible option that basically persists through memes and highly niche use anecdotes.

    You can literally cover entire landmass of earth with fiber and cell towers for pennies on a dollar what low orbit satellites would get you.

    Not to mention is objectively better technology which we would have to setup anyways if we want low latency networks and why wouldn't we want that in the future? There are countless benefits to reduced latency so it's really unavoidable. Now some want to prioritize worse technology when it's at peak cost. It's so fucking stupid.

  • Hey Lemmy, what browser do you use and why?

    Jump

  • Oh it's definitely possible. Its also just firefox so you can apply all firefox styling things like Chrome.css edits. I have mine setup so it's completely borderless like qutebroeser unless you press ctrl+l to open the location bar for extension gui controls etc. With local client extension it can also communicate between firefox windows so you have global tab list across just like qutebrowser too! It's very well made.

  • Hey Lemmy, what browser do you use and why?

    Jump

  • Glad to expose it to more people - it's truly great!

  • Hey Lemmy, what browser do you use and why?

    Jump

  • Qutebrowser and Firefox depending on what I'm browsing as qutebrowser is nicer but firefox has better adblock and addon support. Firefox with tridactyl is really good these days and very close to qutebrowser ux quality. Chromium for web development as chrome devtools are still unmatched unfortunately.

  • Python needs an actual default function

    Jump

  • Most contemporary python tools like flask or uvicorn do exactly this and require an explicit entry point

  • Can anyone confirm accuracy?

    Jump

  • I used to be very opinionated about programming languages but now I just really love all of them.

    Sure some might not be the best tool for some jobs but maintaining a language is insane and just such a mind-blowing endevour.

  • Telegram and xAI agreed a one-year deal to integrate Grok into the chat app; Telegram will get $300M in cash and equity from xAI and 50% of subscription revenue.

    Jump

  • You're using appeal to popularity to claim that Telegram has good UX because more users use it which makes no sense unless you have A|B test that you can execute right now to prove your point.

    Just because it's popular does not mean it's good especially when the market in this scenario has no choice or vote how the UX is implemented.

    Which specific issues and in which regard?

    The one you mentioned for starters - following multiple channels in a single feed.

    Telegram has a terrible UX for social networking and feed following - it's a private messaging app that has been hacked together into use case it was never made for in the first place and it really shows.

  • Market has decided that this UX is good

    Lol

    Maybe you should start with real existing technologies when you do your analysis: rss, federation, graphql. Group chat is the most primitive of feed types and is incredibly outdated UX in 2025. Even RSS - technology from 1999 - has solved the issues telegram is still trying to solve now 26 years later.

  • Tbh reserving "main" is just a hacky if not more so than checking __name__ if you actually understand language design.

  • Discord unveils Discord Orbs, a new in-app currency that users can earn by completing Quests, which reward participants who interact with ads

    Jump

  • Not really. It just group chats and some are used as news feeds.

    Its one of those terrible UX where people force a tool to do something it's not supposed to like Discord for forums etc.

    Its basically used for piracy and drug markets for tech illiterate but somehow caught on.

  • Score one for atheism!

    Jump

  • Not to offend you but tbh I hate this thought process and imo this smells of superiority complex "peasants are just not ready for reality yet". The peasants are actually really smart and humans are very good at adapting and changing their world model given appropriate motivation.

    The world is absolutely ready to rid itself of religion.
