Matrix I could understand because of federation. But Signal? That has to be rage bait

Unless the fonts are not embedded and you don’t have the right fonts installed

Even the new version of my banking app seems bad in comparison to the old one. Sure looks nice, but having a white screen until the web app has downloaded isn’t really good design

I think Lemmy (or the Fediverse in a broader sense) really benefits from everyone in it to just output as much as possible. More interaction, more content, more people coming for that content. If somebody does not like what you have to say they can just block you (or if it’s really hateful be banned)

The first one is fine but it always seems like it shows a huge amount of packages, just not the one I’m looking for, also I don’t find nixos options on there. For that like using mynixos. I really like being able to click on a parent options and see all of it’s children (They also show some home-manager stuff). And the options page for home-manager is a horrible user experience. For that I usually use extranix.com. Thanks though.

Sure if it’s in the Wiki the documentation is not too bad. But just looking for the documention of the lib functions via DuckDuckGo is somehow really hard. And if it’s not in the Wiki or you want the home-manager module, I’ll basically default to first looking at the options on 3rd party websites and then reading the source code for them. (Also the NixOS wiki is obviously not as comprehensive / big as the Arch Wiki)

I’ve studied with (now) engineers and there is large portion of people having a hard time with even the concept of a function. We learned C(++) at the time. I guess being forced to learn about what the hardware does kinda messed with people being able to just think about algorithms. As a first programmig language to just write some basic functions I like Python, but to be honest I don’t understand what’s going really going on behind the scenes either. But C is a really solid choice, as what’s really happening is easy to reason about (at least unoptimized) and every other language will have to abstract these same concepts.

I believe you felt like all toxins leaving your body and mind and like you where the healthiest you could be, but that does not make it true. I am very weary of anybody using the term enlightenment. Also what toxins are in my mind? The OP said that there are toxins solved in fat that will be broken down if you properly fast. Sounds to me like just maintaining a low body fat percentage will do the same then? I get that you might want to do it for the feeling, but the term detoxification sounds my bullshit alarm. I’ve heard of people recommending basically bleach enemas to cure autism, as it’s supposedly caused by pathogens in the gut. On a quick Google search pretty much any website said “you body cleanses itself” and that there a risks to fasting. If you got any sources on why it’s good (on a physical level) I’d much appreciate it.

Ah ok now I get what you mean. Hashing for phone numbers is ineffective so it’s a two way lookup. Is the population using Signal small enough that this doesn’t just equate to surveiling everybody?

The question is: What privacy do I loose by signing up to Signal with a phone number instead of hypothetically a username.

If you are being monitored, they know your phone number. With that they know you are using Signal, but nothing more. Messaging through Signal is safe.

If you are not being monitored, nobody knows you are using Signal. Messaging through Signal is safe

I still don’t get it. What is bad about signing up with your phone number? All readable Info that governments can force out of Signal is. “Yep this guy uses Signal, signed up last year” so nothing is lost (except if they use that as a sign you are a terrorist, but then they just wanted to monitor you anyway in the first place)

I think modularity is a great step for windows. The legacy support is killing a streamlining of the platform. If it was truly modular we could easily rip out AI and Edge… If they really go full send on AI in the OS I don’t think that OS could ever be used for businesses. Thinking about an AI windows sitting in a wind park inside of a windmill gathering measuring data frightens me (already rather use Win7 but the security goes out of the window once you need an outside connection)

Tbh I haven tried in like 5 years, but I think not much has changed. I don’t need to rewatch a series again. And the websites I use are just like conventional streaming services, remembering were you left of, what you already watched, what’s the next episode, Infos on the content I watch. It’s just a nice user experience all within my browser. (Also I don’t want to torrent without seeding ^^)

Is that a thing an ISP can do? Sure DNS query’s to the ISPs DNS can be (and already are) filtered. But an IP level whitelist of every website in existence is a huge endeavor (with dynamic DNS), needing to check every IP in existence for compliance

I don’t torrent, it’s just not as nice as a streaming site like the frontend of solarmovies etc… (I like fmovies and s.to) Also at least in Germany uploading (aka seeding) is punished way more and opens you up to being discovered, where as only streaming, finding you is harder (they need access to the streaming site servers) plus its not punished as hard (and I think in practice not investigated)

That’s why you gotta use more metrics like recall and precision

Isnt there a guy online that modified theirs to have mechanical keys, basically doubling the thickness?

I landed on EurKey, it’s niche but gives me a standard QWERTY layout for programming and German on AltGr and Greek letters on compose

Dude AI companies do not give a fuck about the law. It’s hard to prove a specific piece of data was used to train a model so they put everything in they can. There’s literally a lawsuit about this, where Microsoft and others claim using code on GitHub to train is fair use.

As far as I can tell this lawsuit is about copyright infringement of open source code, but as we where talking about an open source project leaving GitHub because of this, that’s what’s relevant.

I myself would not be surprised if they could not withstand the urge to put more high quality code from enterprise users into their training data, but as they are not suing and we don’t know their code, that’s speculation.
