smileyhead , to linux in Are there any things in Linux that need to be started over from scratch?

Maybe not exaclly Linux, sorry for that, but it was first thing that get to my mind.
Web browsers really should be rewritten, be more modular and easier to modify. Web was supposed to be bulletproof and work even if some features are not present, but all websites are now based on assumptions all browsers have 99% of Chromium features implemented and won’t work in any browser written from scratch now.

You have stderr to throw errors into. And the constants are just error codes, like HTTP error codes. Without it how computer would know if the program executed correctly.

smileyhead , to technology in GitHub Is Not Open Source, A Rant

Turn off executing JavaScript code in your browser and you’ll see.

smileyhead , to technology in Eww, Copilot AI might auto-launch with Windows 11 soon

What I need on Lemmy is more articles about how Windows bad, if I already haven’t know that…

smileyhead , to memes in You're treading a fine line Mr. Tim Apple

Having much greater lawyer force than a couple of developers. Nintendo would win even if they are not right. Or even if not win, those developers would go completely bancrupt for the rest of their lifes because of lawyers costs.

smileyhead , to technology in GitHub Is Not Open Source, A Rant

The fact GitHub is not open source on their servers is not really a problem for me, there are many open source platforms to host code. And for centralized platform I won’t be able to change anything myself anyway.
My rant would be about having to run their proprietary code on my machine to use GitHub.

smileyhead , to technology in Movie industry demands US law requiring ISPs to block piracy websites

VPN to what? A country that haven’t yet applied such law? This shrinks the internet very much.

smileyhead , to piracy in The Motion Picture Association will work with Congress to start blocking piracy sites in the US

How about fighting the reason why those sites exist in the first place?

smileyhead , to linux in Beeper is joining Automattic

They are working on on-device bridging but currently all bridging is happening on their servers with reencrypting all messages. So you have to trust them handing all your messages.

Even services using same protocol for encrypting like Signal protocol or MLS can have incompatible implementations, so just passing messages with reencrypting or on-device bridge is not possible currently.

smileyhead , to technology in Fairphone Fairbuds launch with replaceable batteries, titanium drivers and ANC

Buds can be used without an app, but they really should open source it if they really care about long term sustainability.

smileyhead , to asklemmy in JUST TODAY I was going to buy WinRar. I've used the software forever, for free, and I just thought... I appreciate this, they've never given me grief, and I'm going to pay them.

I would just donate that money to 7zip or PeaZip creators that would benefit everybody.
WinRar works good with .rar files because they created them just to sell buissness licences for something that can be as easly done with tar and gzip.

smileyhead , to technology in What Neuralink is missing (it turns out that connecting brains with computers is the easy part)

How to anger someone yhay happen to have Neuralink:

smileyhead , to selfhosted in Is rsync.net a good service for backups?

My favourite aspect of their service is the super lightweight website that works with almost no scripts.

smileyhead , to technology in Disney to implement measures limiting password sharing on streaming services from June

What’s the point of the regional locks, password sharing blocking, disallowing of third-party clients and especially DRM when at the end of the day I can just type any movie into my torrent client and hours later it would be on my disk shared with everyone in family with access to my Jellyfin instance?
I really want to legally watch, but if their will is to disengurage me so much then okey.
