I'm back after a small week break from here... and the world is looking like a giant flying turd: Amazon on fire, War in Israel, War in Ukraine (Slava Ukraini!!!!), War against home office, War against middle classes... but guess what?
Life in my little corner of the world is still rather normal, and I still can enjoy a nice cup of coffee. Enjoy life folks!!

Would be a trully wonderful discussion if someone asks him to PRECISELY define what he considers a "troll". I bet a zap that it will pretty quickly degenerate to weasel words and ambiguous definitions like "hate speak" and such.
This mentality of him is pure brain rot.

If just to transport data around without working on the files directly on the stick, I would go with exFAT for compatibility reasons.
Otherwise, I would go with ext4 (that oddly don't show there) since its really hard do corrupt, and sudden disconnections are a problem with removable drives.

Watching the slow decline of Firefox over the past 15 years has been like watching the final breaths of a beloved pet.
Now I'm with Brave, and happy. But I can't deny that uneasiness feeling that we may end up with just Chromium derivatives and Webkit.

I'm somewhat of a solo gamer, which is why I avoided Warframe back then. I wouldn't touch a modern MOBA even with a barge pole. But now I'm curious.
For me, it was more like Serious Sam: non-stop walking and shooting. It kills time and stress.
Oddly enough, I liked the strange online experience of Death Stranding.

I sympathize with the author of that article.
These gilded cages of platforms are a menace. Sometimes, choosing whether you will use an Android phone or an Apple one is like having to choose the feudal lord who will rule over me.

You nailed it about Mastodon and the "fediverse." When you leave X or Threads for a fediverse instance, you are essentially changing from a corporately ruled world, which at least has somewhat clear rules, to the hands of a completely arbitrary tyrant.
Your online identity can be terminated simply because one moderator, who is a friend of the instance owner, is bipolar and in a bad mood.

Great concept.
IMHO, it's dead on arrival: malicious actors can just scope creep their clueless users like how some Android apps asks piles of permissions to provide a weather app, zero incentive for large services to use it, I don't see non-technical users paying for pods to avoid it disappearing overnight (they don't care that much for privacy), and I don't see how service providers will just give pods for free forever and reliably.

That Thailand is right now pushing CBDC on its citizens is appalling: a nation that had 20 constitutions since 1932, and is the 4º in number of cups worldwide, is basically creating a non-anonymous ledger with fully traceable transactions, and KYC requirements.
Just imagine if such a tool fall in the hands of an authoritarian?
At least they went with the token based solution instead of the fully dystopian account based one.

I find all IDEs based on IntelliJ IDEA a bit too much cluttered, but my only professional experience with it is with Android Studio. I did attempt to use Clion for a hobby project, but the trial didn't really convinced me to get a Individual license.

As much as that comes as a surprise to me, just after installing NetBeans 22 to give it a try, the Apache GitHub repo for it is actually quite active lately.
I really thought that NetBeans was handed over to Apache to die. This is good news. I love this IDE. Actually, I like IDEs more than programming editors. Sorry, Kakoune.

I believe the problem is to come up with another metric for that. Views? Then, you get the hell of algorithm rage baits that all other centralized social networks are. Number of comments? Bot farms will have their lucky day with people purchasing fake engagement.
If people are willing to pay just for the sake of agreeing with a note or comment, then, maybe, there's something of quality. At least for the target audience.

It's amazing how governments believe that the solution for all human problems are always more tax for them to squander.
- Road accidents? Let's tax cars more.
- Bicycles don't pay taxes? Let's create a tax for point of sale for adult bicycles them to fund a institution to promote... bicycle usage (seriously... Portland attempted that with THAT EXACT ARGUMENT)
- Pollution? Let's tax whatever uses oil more.
- Hunger? Let's tax the middle classes more. Cancer? Let's create a fund for that and tax to fill it.
- People eating only fast food because it's the only fucking thing they can afford? Let's tax "unhealthy food" to promote healthier food... meanwhile, let's also tax farmers to the point that people who grow our food are starving.
... and goes on and on and on ...

Mobile OSs are such a mess. They are cages by design.
Isn't amazing that we have in our pockets computers with hardware vastly more capable than any PC in late 90s and early 2000s running Windows XP or even 98, and even still we are far, far, far more restricted in what we can do with them?

So, an automated system flag accounts, and instead to manually review it first and then block... they just block, and fuck it any damage, loss of work or anxiety that they may cause until an available human, out of the mercy of his heart, do his job.

There's nothing "social" in these modern corporate owned social media. They are only algorithmic garbage pushed down user's throats by the highest bidder for your "tagged data", fear of governments and people with agendas, while friends are buried on the timeline, and there's no way to see unfiltered content.
Tiktok doesn't even make an effort to hide that, unlike Meta who still does a pretending game calling themselves "social network". The only thing somewhat social in Facebook is groups, and they are really a shit forum in that.

If you are willing to learn something other than Git, I would sugest Fossil SCM.
It's what SQLite project uses for development and is pretty much self contained with bug tracking and a wiki, along with the usual source control and versioning stuf.
Self hosting it is pretty much a single command.

So, we just moved a little bit more to a future that one must jump thru hoops to get a copy of any movie or music that is part of his cultural formation and affective memory, instead to let corporations dictate if you has the PRIVILEGE to see or listen to it or not.
