  • Honestly curious how you concluded this

  • I work for one of the world's largest proprietary software companies.

    100% agree with you

    Countries should fund open source OS, browser, mobile OS. It is in their best interest.

  • ofc this is Fedi so that's just a list; there is no the list

    so decentralized, so Internet

  • shit registration functions

    ... and there are some shit moderators here, just like on Reddit

    ... and there are some really high-value communities here, because of really good moderation -- just like on Reddit

    EDIT: But it's Federated, and therefore much more self-healing in that decentralized Internet way

  • Running will do for a spell. But I intend to stay and (politically) fight.

    Besides, I'm not sure anywhere is significantly better than USA for places to stand against it. No place with humans is immune to the disease of leader worship.

    Iran was once a relatively tolerant democracy. Then the people who actually take their religion seriously took over.

  • This. I am a Silicon Valley manager, been hiring & managing teams for 25 years. For the same budget I can bring on 1 developer in California, vs 2-3 in Mexico or India.

    TBH the quality of engineer has very little to do with their nationality. It has a lot more to do with what school they went to. It depends most on how much fire 🔥 is in their belly.

  • "Try rebooting. If that doesn't fix it, make sure you don't have a Llama model selected."

  • noop; noop; noop;

  • better light sensitivity

    I like to think of it as "colors and light so brilliant and pretty it's like tripping shrooms"

  • Yeah, the newer thing to counter that is WebTunnel which came out last year. There's considerably more setup than just starting a snowflake proxy process, and I am ashamed to say I haven't set one up yet

  • This particular coding leaderboard matches my own personal experience. Llama4 is hitting ~15% ; Claude Opus4 ~70% (I haven't used others personally)

  • His ability to match Trumpian trolling style needs to be picked up by someone new, or else we should really get behind this guy at least he is not literally a child raping Russian asset sent to destroy America JFC it's hard to be picky here

  • If you really want privacy, use Tor which is free-as-in-speech-and-beer

  • In general real-time games are not great for Tor, because it introduces lots of network latency -- which makes you safer

    For most applications, the easiest way to Torify is via using SOCKS from the Tor Browser Bundle, which would let you simply pick Snowflake when Tor Browser starts up. I asked Perplexity for directions on running Minecraft over Tor, here ya go

  • a whole new country relying on the snowflake protocol.

    That would put them in the company of China, Russia, and Iran. Getting unrestricted Internet to people in those countries is why I am among those who run a snowflake node on a dedicated VPS (the link also has a simple browser addon -- it's easy to support the network, everyone should)

    Yes, these moves suck for UK youth. But, anti-censorship tools do exist, and volunteers like me want people who could benefit from them, to know about & use them.

    any sane adult should never send a copy of their id to anything but the government, bank, insurance or employer.

    100% agree, take my upvote

  • Even AF_BLUETOOTH sockets are.... sockets, where one machine ("server') opens to listen, and the other ("client") initiates the stream

  • "Floppy disks" were 8 inches a side in my youth and went in the minicomputer

    Then along came Newfangled desktop PCs with their 5.25" floppies
