Word.
Running eyes wide open into oblivion.
GNU is a big part why our system is as superior as it is.

There is Sublink but it's written in Java, I don't think I want to deal with Java's runtime environment.

Don't hate Java just for the sake of it.
According to the repository they ship a Dockerfile and use gradle to build it.
Everything should be abstracted for you.

When comparing environments for a program between Java and Python you should probably prefer Java's. Years of experience and build from the ground up for enterprise deployment.
Python module system is hacked together.
It ain't even be fair for python to compare itself in this regard.

Also this project is spot-on within Java's main territory. It makes absolutely sense to me to use Java for such a program.

Plus monitoring/maintaining a Java application is way better then any python program.

That's beyond my experience but I would say functional languages can perform similiarly.

I suppose - and honestly do not know if - aggregation is done via synchronization into some persistance unit.

Therefore I would eypect that a functional language like Elixir, Lisp etc. would outperform a language with manual memory management in terms of maintainability.

Depending on the capabilties of packing structs into close memory or traceability and elaboration of compiler it may outperform single or multi-threaded.

Though outperforming recent JREs may be hard, since they may trace hot paths.
Default configuration Java vs. a proficient developer of a functional language I assume that latter at least go even.

But I can't judge. Even on the repository of said program I did not even bother to look at the contents of the gradle.build or Dockerfile to be honest.

I do think that maintainability of functional languages, when only the common denominator between any functional language is used, is better to spaghetti Java source code.
But that's another issue, right?

// edit: Spaghetti Source Code is a good thing in my opinion. And sincr I did not adsress your question directly: A proficent developer is more likely to write faster Java then functional code, since Java is just a layer above C with one of the best compilers there is. Functional languages require carrying some non-neglectable knowledge of the compiler to make use of the fastest paths through the code. On the other hand Java is just ALGOL-Syntax and therefore imperative; Which translates more easier into *.asm.

// edit2: Synchronization into some db isn't depending on the nature of the language but there may be overhead where some concepts of languages simply perform better.
So I would expect that transitions from some interpreted language is slower then compiled languages. Note that even though Java belongs to the former it is conceptually compatible with the latter. I'm out. You called me out. I'm a still a newbie. Had to append so much.

This Hacker Tool Extracts All the Data Collected by Windows’ New Recall AI (www.wired.com)

When Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella revealed the new Windows AI tool that can answer questions about your web browsing and laptop use, he said one of the “magical” things about it was that the data doesn’t leave your laptop; the Windows Recall system takes screenshots of your activity every five seconds and saves them...

A social app for creatives, Cara grew from 40k to 650k users in a week because artists are fed up with Meta’s AI policies | TechCrunch (techcrunch.com)

Artists have finally had enough with Meta’s predatory AI policies, but Meta’s loss is Cara’s gain. An artist-run, anti-AI social platform, Cara has grown from 40,000 to 650,000 users within the last week, catapulting it to the top of the App Store charts....

mryessir ,

This would be a good approach to improve growth of the community.

Does the ActivityPub protocol support copyright for user content?
E.g. an artist releases some picture and they explicitly prompt a license. Each client should accept that they are obligated to prompt this license when using the content... Something like this

mryessir ,

Would this again segregate the users?
Some attribute on a submission which refers to a license would be nice though

mryessir ,

At least the EU restricts this directly to your communication and make examples for its usages.

EU approval for chat control (www.patrick-breyer.de)

We need to do something against this. The EU plans to apply a law for a chat control in the territory. The approval say that all the chats and the emails would be send to the government to do AI scanning to in fact “find the children abuses”, even when using apps with end-to-end encryption (the EU will ask the services to...

mryessir ,

The EU will already have projects in development as far as my experience goes.

What I do not know though but think applies:
Such an act is legally binding for all member states. If they fight these things, they are allowed to propose at the EU court for adjustment in order to be aligned with the national law. This can postpone the national implementation for a few years.

But it can only be revoked by a new act of the EU council.

And they can simply ignore any new suggestion of the EU parliament if they like to.

How goes the saying?
32 MB of RAM and always swapping?

mryessir ,

One could point to the inclusive or environmental aspect to this approach.

mryessir ,

Your awesome for correcting me (I use vim BTW)

Plus emacs and lisp are superior.
But I didn't managed to jump ships.

mryessir ,

It does not depend in how fat the fork is.
You provide some reasons on your own.

Your assumption appears to be that open source software can be maintained with minimal costs by the community and sofware-aid assures an ongoing bug prevention of some sort.

In the end you still need at least a few full-time devs on it. It would be fair to pay them accordingly if they are maintaining behemoths of software.

Funfact: Infrastructure costs are x-times higher then IT Personel in my organization. A big chunk of it is energy and space; But its less then licensing costs..

mryessir , (edited )

The Debian community not already maintains a Chromium fork. How much does that cost?

I honestly can't and wouldn't judge: Time, Resources, implicit know-how etc. are unknown to me.

The human time needed should grow with the number of patches that need to be applied to the upstream code base, ...

jupp

... because some will fail now and then.

Forks are done due to different reasons.
Therefore it depends why to fork.
It could be possible that one feature diverges so much that applying patches isn't enough.
Especially patches in a debian sense, neither .diff/.patch-patches.

This is what I refer to as "fatness" of the fork. The more patches, the fatter. It should be possible to build, packege and publish a fork with zero patches without human intervention, after the initial automation work.

For a brief period, until something rattles on the build system.
Debian patches are often applied to remove binary blobs due to licensing -
Imagine upstream chooses to include M$ Recall into the render engine.
You would need to apply extraordinary amounts of work. Maybe even maintaining a complete separate implementation.
This would also imply changes on the build systems, which needs to get aligned continiously between both upstreams, now.

Maybe I'm missing something obvious. 😅

With each version you have to very carefully review every commit if you want to maintain compatability with upstream, in order to merge patches into your fork.

When there are 50 devs working on upstream and you need to review every commit to assure requirement X, this alone is a hard path.
If you need to also apply workarounds compatible with future versions of upstream, you need PROFESSIONALS. Luckily these are found in the FOSS community; But they are underpaid and worse: underappreciated.

// plus I could imagine that things like chrome may even not be coming with the full test suite. The test suite of a browser are surely so huge I can't even comprehend the effort put into it. And then bug tickets.. Upstream says: Not in my version. Now the fork has to address these themselves! :)

mryessir ,

Don't hate google too much..!
They are an essential company to the west world; They contribute a lot to the community.

As long there is no business interest, the developers there are very competent and would defend their architectural choices I want to believe.

But yes, they - as a whole - have earned such a mistrust by now very much IMO.

Windows VM - even as hypervisor 1 - could leak any data.
You need a revisited OS and kernel to be safe.

Edit: Once you accessed your network your firmware could possibly track everything as well. But nobody knows. Once I heard that the intel firmware has more LoC then the linux kernel (which is the most collaborated human project ever in existence).

OpenAI is just a mask of Satan.
Apple is just a contender for hell and doesn't run things there. Yet.

Detach one side of the cap by twisting.
This allows turning the cap down to the bottle neck.
You can then hold the cap out of the way and the bottle with one hand.

Linux market share passes 4% for first time (arstechnica.com)

We see the nearly 33-year-old OS’s market share growing 31.3 percent from June 2023, when we last reported on Linux market share, to February. Since June, Linux usage has mostly increased gradually. Overall, there's been a big leap in usage compared to five years ago. In February 2019, Linux was reportedly on 1.58 percent of...

Wow!! Thanks!
I will try to debloat windows now and then replace all linux installations of mine with your suggestion.
Which filesystem should I use to support paths > 256 characters on Windows?

Also: How can I bind my favorite Applications to my usual shortcuts? Never found that option in the settings.

C-x C-Y/Z

For me with this position even C-D/E would be uncomfortable.
So how to go about that?

mryessir ,

Nope.

mryessir ,

Oh yeah. I literally have never pressend this button before and therefore forgot about it.

Ugh, okay Meredith, let's pretend it's impossible to handle this with user experience that makes the user acknowledge their conversation with a WhatsApp user is not secure. Meanwhile if the only viable way
for this conversion to occur is to have WhatsApp on both ends, the situation less secure.

It is a privacy concern, not a security one.

So according to Meredith, the choice is between less overall security or not having conversations with people who don't use Signal.

Could you cite this please?
Because I do not see this beeing said or implied.

That could makes sense for her salary but it surely is a net negative for Signal users some of which will have to install WhatsApp since they won't be able to afford not to have those conversations.

Entirley different conversation, accusations and projections. So dropping this.

mryessir ,

Do you propose more bots in order to steer the public opinion?
That could indeed generate serious money for reddit I suppose!

Apple is officially dropping iPhone support for web apps in the EU - The Verge (www.theverge.com)

Apple is officially dropping iPhone support for web apps in the EU - The Verge::Apple will no longer support web apps in the European Union in iOS 17.4. The company says building the feature would be “impractical” on top of the other changes it’s been asked to make.

mryessir ,

I doubt that web apps use less power then native apps. Especially because native apps can be entirely compiled to the architecture.
It always depend on the software in question.

By dropping pwa they most likely prohibit an api to use any os interface at all. PWA additionally circumvent their store.
And therefore steering developers back to their known ecosystem - which requires apple hardware to develop on.
Additionally it may "preserve" the dedicated knowledge to develop against their os.

Scientists Use WiFi to See Through People's Walls (www.popularmechanics.com)

“We developed a deep neural network that maps the phase and amplitude of WiFi signals to UV coordinates within 24 human regions. The results of the study reveal that our model can estimate the dense pose of multiple subjects, with comparable performance to image-based approaches, by utilizing WiFi signals as the only input.”

Doesn't this mean the matrix film was right with their visualization (regardless of orientation)?

mryessir ,

You ever used the web with javascript disabled? How do you do this on a mobile device? Are you sticking to this setting?

Lemmy is awesome to me for this reason: Mostlikely the bot comment is either at the top, or at the bottom. Former tells me that bo expert has yet entered the conversation. Maybe I have meaningful insight (I haven't yet. My shame).
The latter shows me I need to read the tldr first, before proceeding to read the conversation.
Or maybe I have already cosumed the article and I am still looking for other views on it.

Anyhow, I think it shows that the internet nowadays does no spread information, but user data.

mryessir ,

Meanwhile blindly installs it because its "free for now".

mryessir ,

Acutally.. They do on the internet.
And may even earn money by doing so.
