They have a poor history of incidents that leaves many people not trust them.

Perks of still running bare metal in colo, no issues for any of my stuff. Not seeing anyone say anything in the Lemmy chat on Matrix either.

I bet they'll eventually get caught using coffee shop cameras and conversations for AI training, say it's for training a security product or something.

If we deleted everything written by insufficiently pure developers, we wouldn't have a Linux desktop. Especially if we count the ones that were smart enough to not bring up anything political in public.

Not a fan of DHH, but then you delete Rails then there's no GitHub, GitLab, Mastodon, and many many other things given how popular Rails is, and that's just that one guy.

If you include all the sketchy stuff that happens in the supply chain mining the minerals, processing, assembly all the way up to the final computer product, you just can't morally justify supporting any manufacturer either.

This really doesn't do anything useful other than feeling good to not support one of those guys. If anything it just adds extra political drama that feeds into a much bigger worldwide division problem.

Arguably, if it was normal to sideload apps it wouldn't be as much of a barrier to users, but they've been conditionned to think they need an app and the only place you can ever get them is the store.

It's a technical hurdle only because Apple decided they want to control everything, and same on Android because of Google's ever increasing war on sideloading. You used to download an APK from the browser and it would go like "This is an app! Install?", but now you have to go enable third party installation and all that, and now the whole Play Protect forcing developer validation coming up.

Well that explains quite a few things, especially in Alberta.

PieFed seems to have taken the spot as well, mostly delivering on what Sublinks wanted to be but faster and better. Python is more attractive than Java even for the Rust haters.

Wouldn't surprise me if it doesn't check the UTF-8 validity at all and just lets the apps get broken UTF-8 where most of the time nothing horrible happens. That or they just strip invalid characters.

It's not the size, it's a size to content/quality ratio. I'll happily download a 500GB game if it's got the content to match.

Uncompressed assets doesn't bring higher quality visuals or content, it's merely pure laziness or a scam to make people feel like they're getting more for the outrageous price games have gotten.

Free speech includes respecting speech you disagree with and speech that makes you uncomfortable.

If the roles were reversed and you were lined up to be banned because you're not siding with the "correct" side, you'd be crying abusive censorship.

That's what the downvote and block buttons are for.

Yes, a lot safer. Even bugs in the renderer or media player would typically be triggered by JavaScript by say, moving elements around really fast or whatever.

Without JavaScript, the browser renders that page and that's it, there's no JS to modify it or open popups, nothing to dynamically load/refresh content. The most you can do without JS is animations and responding to simple events like changing the color of a button when the mouse is over it. So your only shot to attack this is the renderer during initial page load, once.

You need to set up your PC to be on that IP address first, TFTP doesn't magically listen to a particular IP, you need to configure the PC with that IP.

ip link set eth0 up
ip addr add 10.10.10.3/24 dev eth0
ip addr add 10.10.10.1/24 dev eth0

Then you can start the TFTP server on the interface:

dnsmasq -d --port=0 --enable-tftp --tftp-root=/path/to/tftp/root -i eth0
