you seem to have completely ignored the “reasonable” part

have you looked at simplex? at a glance it seems robust and it actually works without much fiddling which is nice.

i think we need to get more vocal about another funny thing, the fact that politicians are elected and we can all stop voting for these ghouls.

having a pre-installed adblock extension is also a great way to dogfood the extension implementation, whereas if it’s a built-in adblocker it’s likely to use a bunch of special privileged code and when extension developers complain about being unable to do things the browser devs will just say “yeah we can’t be bothered to fix this, just use the built-in adblocker dude”

maybe defunding healthcare more will help?

i don’t get why people use web services for rss, it can be done completely clientside, that’s… kind of the whole point of rss…

huh? any serious marketplace has cheap or free basic insurance for purchases.

hasn’t even stopped the non-tech savvy lmao

it’s perfectly fine at e2e encryption, especially if you’re not federating.

“Open IRC federation is basically never used anymore”

so you admit IRC isn’t federated, lmfao

to counter the “gotta appease normies”, think of how good firefox could be for accessibility if they put all the effort spent on llm integration and whatnot into making the useful AI features even better

like firefox is obviously not going to win in the normie department, but it could be so hilariously superior for disabled users that no one in that demographic even considers using chrome any more, and i think that would be quite effective at getting firefox onto public service computers.

it’s like having a book of knots and tying each of them once, it grows new synapses in your brain that makes all knot tying easier and gives you some intuition about what knot might be best and maybe you’ll remember enough to tie most of them without a reference, just with some trial and error.

“okay so i think it was a loop and then above and under and through… oh, no, that part has to be under and then above, that makes sense, there we go!”

i have very fond memories of sitting with windows computers and them just… ignoring the internet connection, the fuck does “unidentified network” mean? Do you fucking see the connection or not you silicon garbage heap?

oh so you just want to be annoyingly pedantic, cool

luddite is a compliment, not an insult.

Like, go actually read about them, the luddites were fighting against capitalists replacing workers with machines.

that would make sense if it wasn’t a fucking business selling the promise of security lol

i once wrote a script to launch a program with specific flags that i think was mostly correct, it holds center place on my CV

it’s good to keep secure communications separate anyways, so you don’t accidentally send the secret message to the wrong place or without the security measures.

i don’t get why people want it in the same place as their fucking gaming chats, imagine sending state secrets to #fursuit-showoff because you didn’t notice which specific channel you’re in

mAIntAIn it?

just python and looking up every single thing i want the code to do “python print text”
“python get input”
“python loops”
“python iterate through list”

and this is why i’m such a diehard python shill, it doesn’t require you to write 5 billion lines of boilerplate code to print some fucking text, it’s very approachable.
