6k km almost precisely. Different continent. This will be my home.

The jokes are meant to be funny and are to many of us. They have teams of writers and comedian hosts, so it definitely isn’t meant to be e unfunny.

The format it’s most general case is simple. Little monologue on current events and interviews with currently relevant public figures.

It may be all those things, but it doesn’t change that it is whataboutism. I’m not here defending anybody. They should have built a case and prosecuted it when they had the chance. In fact, even though typically straight up releasing files like this while there is pending prosecution is a huge mistake, I still think they should have been released.

But only one group campaigned on this to this extent, then did a complete about-face to cover it up.

And I’m sorry for using harsh language; I thought that was allowed around here.

What the fuck are you talking about? That is precisely what happened here. Most of these republican goons got their base frothing at the mouths over these documents, holding up binders, going on talk shows and news shows, literally claiming they’d release these documents. And now they aren’t.

Yes, the ones that didn’t campaign on exactly this topic, releasing the files. I believe they should be released but this whataboutism is just silly.

Generally neither am I. But I also feel no laws should protect the ultra wealthy, especially when the crimes are global. Somebody must take the powerful down and it isn’t going to be the powerful.

Wasn’t the fun the CPU cycles we wasted along the way?

I actually think it should be released publicly. There will be no justice without transparency. The people involved are to powerful to expect it to be handled justly.

Well, only one side voted the measure down.

MO of the DNC for many years now.

 

Interesting new logic analysis channel on the scene and it seems very well done.

 

I find the hard puzzles take a long time too.

Said of Mozilla’s recent change to terms and privacy.

 

I like smooth scroll. I love Neovim. So I use Neovide. But I really wanted a nice way to manage instances per git repository / project, including server / remote socket management and allowing files to be opened into the correct instance. It detects running instances and opens into or switches to them accordingly.

This is also integrated into Finder and open via a swift wrapper. So one can, for example, use raycast to quick switch projects.

Check it out if that sounds interesting. There is also a longer video guide on the Usage wiki.

 

This has gotten some attention, especially about a week ago, but I really hope more people will continue to try it and, if interested, support it. It is Firefox, but heavily modified to please a different audience that prefers a slightly different UI than Firefox. It has some of the appeal of Arc, Vivaldi, and the Sidebery extension.

In my view, it is very promising, and all competition in this space is good. Here it is on Github, also.

 

When you copy the URL for sharing in YouTube, it adds a query parameter now, so=blah, for tracking the source. This removes that. It could of course be smarter and stop at either the end or the next parameter, but since I haven’t seen any extras, I just remove everything after.

 

I am especially interested in the initial migrations into the Americas 15,000+ years ago, but our community is small and my interests large, so... any great documentaries are welcome.

 

Please, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, allow us to disable this chapter skipping feature (the one where tapping left or right to bring up the scrubber, then double tapping the other direction because 100% of people want to skip that direction some unit time - 10 seconds by default). This ends up feeling random and is just vexing.

It is the worst feature added to any software, maybe ever in the history of computing. How many hours are wasted trying to figure out where one was in this video? How much power and network bandwidth is consumed fighting this feature that I’ve not seen a single comment online of anybody benefitting from ever.

This feature is adding to human suffering by wasting energy and damaging people psychologically. Go please, look online, and consider castigating the creator of this feature in the public square. And then take a good hard look at yourself for not stopping this evil from ever being added in the first place.

Yours aye, Sane People

 

I’m curious if they have made any public statements on the topic. Now that the deprecation of MV2 is back on a schedule, a lot of Chromium forks will be affected by the change.

I’m a huge FLOSS and Firefox fan, but Arc’s UX is unparalleled in my view and I’ve switched for the time.

I can’t find anything on their website, YouTube, or Discord that makes a firm statement on the topic, but it would be very reassuring if they would or have.

 

There are currently several applications available for iOS to access Lemmy instances. Each of which has its own benefits and drawbacks. I love Voyager (or wefwef as I still like to call it), but even the installed app is I believe just a repackaged PWA. So I’ve been looking at alternatives that vary from PWA to native Swift implementations. The list I’ve checked out so far are.

  • Avelon
  • Bean
  • Mlem
  • Memmy
  • Voyager / vger.app

I know Lemma is forthcoming, also.

I’m wondering what others current preferences are including values like price, license, governance, and features.

It feels to me like the days before Apollo arose where there were many great Reddit apps, but none that stood head and shoulders above the rest. Does anybody feel there is an app shining to that degree yet as Apollo did once it hit the scene?
