Not true. Watch this youtu.be/L2IKCdnzl5k?si=yVCXvZw00SQlwI7Y

Honest question: could some of Netflix’s enshittification be because of the media industry, and not their fault? The fragmentation of streaming was the opposite of what they wanted. So maybe his point is that it’s impossible to compete because the industry is so powerful and greedy that they couldn’t hold onto their monopoly. Spotify has been able to hold onto theirs because record labels hold less power and don’t want to get into the streaming business.

All plants, animals, mushrooms, bacteria, etc have DNA. Any time a living thing reproduces there can be unique mutations that give the offspring a unique DNA. And, especially if it is a sexual reproduction (having two parents, like in most fruits) the parents DNA is mixed together to form a unique combination of the two parents.

Use freetaxusa. It’s actually free. I haven’t used it as an independent contractor, but it has worked well for my complicated finances.

ELI5 why is anarchy not "the guy with the bigger stick" making the rules?

I’m politically agnostic and have moved from a slightly conservative stance to a vastly more progressive stance (european). i still dont get the more niche things like tankies and anarchists at this point but I would like to, without spending 10 hours reading endless manifests (which do have merit, no doubt, but still)....

Elections and representatives are “representative democracy”, not a true democracy. Voting on issues is democracy. Democracy literally means “the people have the power”

Should I move to Docker?

I’m a retired Unix admin. It was my job from the early '90s until the mid '10s. I’ve kept somewhat current ever since by running various machines at home. So far I’ve managed to avoid using Docker at home even though I have a decent understanding of how it works - I stopped being a sysadmin in the mid '10s, I still worked...

You are right. Either you are using docker very wrong, or docker is not meant for this use case.

You say “getting ubuntu server to fetch it’s updated behind proxy”. You shouldn’t be updating Ubuntu from inside of docker. Instead, the system should be somewhat immutable. You should configure the version you want to use as part of the Docker file.

Same with python and keys. You likely want to install python dependencies in the Dockerfile, so that you can install them once and it becomes bundled into the container image. Then you don’t need to use pip behind the proxy.

When you say VPS, do you mean like an AWS or GCP instance?

This. I was surprised to learn how bad many people’s depth perception is. I used to work in VR and it seemed like a quarter to half of the people I showed it to could not see the depth.

At my previous company we edited apks to add performance trackers. We modified the dex code directly. It was not easy, but it is possible. Some apps are obfuscated, which makes finding libraries hard. But a principal we used was to look for where the app called into the system code, especially around URL requests. So you could look for all calls to the system network libraries, and identify which ones were calls to tracker systems, and no-op those bytes.

But, it’s probably much easier to just use the adguard dns server.

This mindset is carried “techno-wizard”

How do you feel about capacitor based EVs?

You don’t need to re-encode the video. Look up HLS segments, which is the standard for streaming video and I assume YouTube uses it.

Each video is split into many segments, like 10 seconds long (though the duration doesn’t matter). The browser first fetches a “playlist” which is just a list of these segments. Then the video player plays each segment in order. So Google could just insert ad-segments into the video stream, and if they did it cleverly, there would be no way to determine that they were ads.

Wake up slow then eat a huge breakfast. That gives me plenty of energy for the day, then my lunch can be smaller.

Are you proposing that doodling on a bench with pencil should warrant months of community service?

I agree, although a lot of the work going into a game is the game design, art, and iteration, and not just the programming and rigging. And it may actually be a catalyst to rewrite parts better

I didn’t understand you were counting down from 100, and the story reads very differently, lol
