- Comment on YouTube Music Downloader 1 week ago:
Every single tool that downloads from YouTube is just a yt-dlp wrapper 😀
- Comment on Why do websites now prefer IP-based geolocation rather than the `Accept-Language` HTTP header? 1 week ago:
Especially bad for counties with multiple official languages, they just pick one at random

- Comment on Russian Lawmakers Authorize Creation Of National Messaging Service 1 week ago:
Of course it’s a closed source fork 🤣
Did you really assume I thought they’d open source their national spyware system on fucking Gitlab?
- Comment on News outlets in crisis mode as Google-led AI search push crushes website traffic 1 week ago:
People on Twitter regularly go “@grok is this true” to everything and trust the AI to be correct.
The same AI that said the fresh photo of National Guard members sleeping on the floor was from 2021…

Or a fork of an open source project
- Comment on Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPO 1 week ago:
And on Unraid you can add individual docker containers to the tailnet too.
So you can just go ssh <container> on any device in the Tailnet and it’ll connect
- Comment on Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPO 1 week ago:
Because I can have 3 phones, 2 tablets, 3 computers and 4 server on the same Tailnet in 15 minutes when starting from scratch

Your tech illiterate grandma can set it up. It’s that easy.
- Comment on OpenAI is storing deleted ChatGPT conversations as part of its NYT lawsuit 1 week ago:
We specifically have an enterprise contract (in the EU), checked by our lawyers, that says they can’t store our data or use it for training.
This decision goes against that contract.

The only place I’d want AI summaries is rambling YouTube videos
Make it a premium subscription extra
- Comment on Telegram and xAI agreed a one-year deal to distribute Grok; Telegram will get $300M in cash and equity from xAI and 50% of subscription revenue 3 weeks ago:
Anything really, it’s really simple to whip up a bot for anything. On par with Discord, maybe even a bit easier.
We have a family channel with bots that do calendar notifications and connect to home automation systems.
But I think you can do full on stores with payments using Telegram bots, never tried nor been in channels that do it.

Signal doesn’t have bot support, so it’s hardly a Telegram equivalent sadly
Matrix works though, but it has the fediverse problem of “which instance do I pick?”
- Comment on ‘Alexa, what do you know about us?’ What I discovered when I asked Amazon to tell me everything my family’s smart speaker had heard 3 weeks ago:
I sold my Alexa devices when the Sidewalk crap came out
Still waiting for a replacement for the Echo Show though, having a smart speaker with a display was handy at times

- Comment on Helldivers 2 and Palworld devs wish players understood that 'easy' additions and updates are sometimes really hard: 'That's half a year's work. That takes six months' 3 weeks ago:
It’s by far the least scummy of all online shooters.
I still have multiple to unlock and I have no issue paying for them. I have way more money than time to play.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 and Palworld devs wish players understood that 'easy' additions and updates are sometimes really hard: 'That's half a year's work. That takes six months' 4 weeks ago:
But you don’t “need” to unlock them all on the day of release, there is no FOMO component, they don’t disappear after a month.
And if you play enough to unlock them faster than they can get them out, you definitely have the time to grind the 1000SC to unlock them.
- Comment on Ground control to Major Trial: When a $130M aerospace company chooses to endlessly abuse opensource free trials instead of typing git pull, you start to question gravity, or at least common sense. 4 weeks ago:

- Comment on The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source. 4 weeks ago:
2000 people, 3k+ devices and one dude wants a Linux laptop.
Not happening 😀
But it did work in a smaller company of around 30 people, mostly because the IT guy was a Linux user too
- Comment on The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source. 4 weeks ago:
WSL made windows tolerable in the time I had to use a windows machine for work.
macOS is still the better choice for corp approved work, integrates decently with IT systems and is a “real” unix system underneath.
Linux on a corporate desktop is mostly about how well you know the IT guys and do they trust you. And of course the software stack.

- Comment on “No Apple tax means we will lower prices” - Proton announces lower prices for users by up to 30% after US ruling against Apple fees 1 month ago:
And still people do it, they even give their own devices to kids with CC info pre-filled and no safeties on purchases.
Imagine how bad it is when the next fake ad game gets Timmy to subscribe to a $99/day gem pack…
- Comment on “No Apple tax means we will lower prices” - Proton announces lower prices for users by up to 30% after US ruling against Apple fees 1 month ago:
I’m not entirely optimistic about this ruling, but we’ll see.
Apple had no reason NOT to give refunds and then use their weight to claw it back from the app developer.
But what happens when scammy apps use non-AppStore scammy stores to unlock features in an app?
In a perfect world it’s cheap and easy and reliable.
But it can also be a scammy shop that lures you into expensive subscriptions with no easy way to cancel them (eg. gym membership) and what happens when Little Timmy spends $9000 for Nlartbux in a mobile game’s external store?
Could go either way 🤷🏻♂️
