  It’s kinda cool as in you can compile a bunch of languages to wasm, so instead of being locked to JavaScript (/typescript) you can instead code in e.g. rust, have all the advantages of the compiler and still run in the browser.

  Homemade :). For real though it’s not that hard.

  Illegal but not being enforced at all. Just like the big green ‘Track me daddy’ button next to a small grey ‘refuse’ button. Or the ones that force you to go through a list of every partner and disable each separate one. Or etc… All those are illegal, but companies love testing the limits, and with the level of enforcement… Yeah

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fun fact: you can't upload this image on piefed.social⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That sounds like a great feature ngl

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Noooooo⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure this won’t apply to everyone, but if the effort of searching it in confluence is harder than arranging a call your documentation is not structured properly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the public demands ANSWERS⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I do this except I’m just adding more sentences or rewriting my last message with more info

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do you need a launcher? (asking older gamers actually)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah I missed a step in your, my bad my bad. I should stop commenting when tired haha

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do you need a launcher? (asking older gamers actually)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Even better when the desktop launcher launches the epic games launcher which launches the rockstar launcher.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Android won't kill sideloading after all, but new verification rules will make it harder⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Actually even if they do sign it you’d need to run adb once for the first install of fdroid/shizuku

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Android won't kill sideloading after all, but new verification rules will make it harder⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You do not, it can connect with your own wireless debugging session. shizuku.rikka.app/guide/setup/#start-via-wireless… Works since android 11

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Android won't kill sideloading after all, but new verification rules will make it harder⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  At least with something like shizuku one can effectively adb to your own phone, so even if adb became required to install non-google-approved apps on one’s own phone… It will not block FOSS for long.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hundreds of Millions of Audio Devices Need a Patch to Prevent Wireless Hacking and Tracking⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wires are annoying as hell, and a proper desktop wireless headphone will have basically no loss in quality as they have a base station and are not using Bluetooth.

  Same with the mouse, for things like gaming latency can be an issue, but a proper one isn’t using Bluetooth either so no issues on that end (or at least the difference is lower than my skill issue, which causes me to lose games)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Someone, I'm thinking with multiple accounts, is downvoting EVERY comment I make. Mildly aggravating, mostly sad for someone like that. Can I find out who and just block them?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s about the findability of the post and correctness of votes. A serial downvoter will diminish both, creating a disconnect between the real quality and the perceived quality.

  No those three votes probably won’t make a big difference, but it’s a real problem if this becomes commonplace

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's it going to take to truly stop the US?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The EU might have a rollout of the digital euro soon… Soon being 2029 for the initial rollout because that is fast for us.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[App] BattleShip! Couples Counseling (See Inside for Details!) [Fake Ad]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s been a string of misogynistic man vs women posts lately… And the image you sent fits that profile very well (even if the text content goes a different way)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Librarians Are Tired of Being Accused of Hiding Secret Books That Were Made Up by AI⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had AI confidently tell me the latest version of .NET is 8, even talking back at me when correcting it until I told it it had to search the web.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3186: Truly Universal Outlet⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s no preview, not even a hint of the image being there… But clicking on the text show the image in Boost

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  For real yeah, like it’s gotta be some default in an internationalisation library. It’s way too common on websites for that not to be the case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Real funny they coloured it differently, because Flanders literally shares a language with The Netherlands.

  To be fair half the world seems to forget Belgium is not all french sometimes, or puts french as the default even though Flanders’ population is almost twice as large as Wallonie. Even adding the population of Brussels and Wallonie, Flanders still has the larger population. (Numbers for stats come from statbel)

  Basically the movie House of dynamite

  I mean don’t you know that firefox loads a FULL web browser with an engine and all every time it boots up?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solutions for remote access?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You should go read the blog post explaining how everything works! They basically pull out a shipping container of tricks to establish a connection when necessary. (Depends heavily on firewalls/NAT on the path)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that in most countries, traffic fatalities have been falling. But in the U.S., the opposite happened. Americans die in rising numbers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  For real, they think the only solution to cars endangering pedestrians and bikes is to ban both bikes and pedestrians… As God intended eagle screeches and flies overhead

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We can play that game too⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I wasn’t calling you out at all just going on a bit of a tangent :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We can play that game too⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I love taxes, I would gladly pay even more taxes if that meant everyone would be provided for.

  Except at the moment our taxes here in Belgium are already quite high, and our tax system is a complete cluster fuck with plenty of loopholes for the strongest shoulders to not have to carry their weight. Some part of that is even fraudulent, and they’re trying to get a law through right now to find those cases of fraud more efficiently… But it is being opposed by parts of the govt with privacy as the excuse (which I’d normally agree with, except what they’re trying to change is not that egregious afaik and the ratio of found vs investigated fraud is insane)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My Religion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Indeed, all fun and games until they kidnap you from the streets because their religious laws prohibit the way you dress.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In terms of unique features there’s a few places where it shines.

  Glance: You know how you open a link in the background to not lose the tab you’re currently on? Well in Zen you just click it with Alt+click and it pops open in an overlay which you can easily click away when you’re done with it (or open it to a ‘full’ tab if you need it)

  Split view: exactly what it sounds like, have multiple tabs open side-by-side or above each other in the same window

  Side tabs: exactly what sideberry does except the browser is fully designed around it with features like workspaces (with per workspace themes), essential tabs (are shown on top in each workspace) and pinned tabs (per workspace) all just being great.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s great, it does basically what sideberry does (or at least what it did for me, iirc sideberry had a config page 3 miles long so ymmv) but it’s built-in and that allows for things an extension just couldn’t do.

  And then there’s glance and split view which I pretty much can’t live without anymore

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finding a private self hosted Google Photos alternative that doesn’t profit from my photos⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Tailscale with a subnet router running for my home network makes it so that I can just connect to 192.168.50.57 from wherever I like.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to use sideberry too, now I’m on the zen browser firefox fork and its pretty great
