  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?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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.

  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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨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.

  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 ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RAM prices soar, but popular Windows 11 apps are using more RAM due to Electron, Web components⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

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

  Depending on the image gallery you’re using it might respect .noimage

  Also, didn’t opera sell to some spyware company? I’m team zen (firefox fork with some very neat extra features) btw.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TRUMP⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair something can be said about allowing formatting. For this the added value is little though, and it would’ve been better if an alt text was provided

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨kurzgesagt – AI Slop Is Killing Our Channel⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  DeArrow shows the title as something like “why you can’t trust AI with facts”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Punch Time⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Clarification vs adaptation makes a huge difference in book translations. I don’t envy the translators having to translate witty jokes/references that really only work in the original language

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not to mention if you want to watch something (only available) ‘in the future’ it’ll automatically get pulled when available.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Confirms Non-ADB APK Installs Will Require Developer Registration⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Installing the third party stores would be way harder than it is right now if they do that though. No way the devs of e.g. f-droid are getting a verification on an app that bypasses Google’s new ‘safety measures’

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨v2.0.0: Stable Release of Immich (complete with Merch and DVD)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m excited for the roadmap of better sharing, group management and improved ownership. Unfortunately in its current state having a shared “family” library of pictures next to personal pictures is only possible with various workarounds (and all of those have significant downsides). Until then I’m just using it for myself, but it’s been great so far.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨v2.0.0: Stable Release of Immich (complete with Merch and DVD)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A paid service is something that is going to have running costs on the side of the provider. E.g. the cloud backup means they need to buy/rent storage space. If they were to do something like a service for remote machine-learning (for people that do not have the hardware to properly do that) that would be a running cost of renting gpu-time.

  A paywall is a feature that would work perfectly fine without any external factors, but its blocked because you didn’t pay.

  Some nuance is needed of course. Often a paid service could be self-hosted (thats why I love being able to self-host the machine learning in immich, with a different design choice that could’ve totally been a paid service).
