> A nano banana photo-editing app where I don’t have to write a prompt. Just give me hundreds of templates from trying out different haircuts to seeing what you and your partner’s kid would look like to making me look like The Rock. A photo editing super-app.
Quite a few of these "ideas" make me think that the human behind it wants to maximize laziness. Glazing over what Hemingway kinda sorta would have thought about something fits into this pretty well.
I want to expand on this more as someone more familiar with Bangalore/Bengaluru.
Almost like clockwork, Blume Ventures releases a report every year about the state of the Indian startup ecosystem that year, and since Bengaluru startups are almost all concentrated around Koramangala or HSR layout (these are places inside Bengaluru with their own PIN/address codes), you'll find a lot of people talking about that online.
"The Ugly Indian" [1] (a ragtag group of anonymous citizens) usually does that in India. In reality, though, these kinds of issues are only really seen as a minor inconvenience at most. Anecdotally, most middle-class people in here frown upon chewing tobacco, so I assume the government thinks that as long as they keep it relatively clean, nobody would think of dirtying it with their paan stains.
I'm Indian. We also learned that Carbon dating was a thing somewhere between Middle School and High School. I also believe that the reference to isotopes was hyperbolic and that he actually wanted to talk about the fact that we teach the basics of Nuclear fission, fusion and radioactive decay in high school. [1]
In hindsight, it's funny that we use radioactive decay as one of the filters for an entrance exam for University. [2]
I interpreted it as knowing the basics of nuclear physics in order to do a CS Bachelor's degree, which is what the entrance exam for these colleges ask.
From what I see running the test on my phone, there's an option to tunnel DNS through Rethink here, which you can change to the VPN's DNS. Everything else is tunneled by default through wireguard. Maybe there's a configuration issue on your end?
Not really on topic, but is there any plan on integrating tailscale with it? There's a userspace mode for tailscale that exposes a socks proxy, but you currently have to spawn that with Termux or another terminal, then forward your traffic on Rethink.
I didn't intend for this to be propaganda, I don't even use it anymore since I'm on grapheneOS now.
But I have tried all three. I need to use a VPN in split mode for certain apps, and since using Tor with apps wasn't part of my threat model, I ended up using RethinkDNS (the app only). I don't necessarily like their upstream DNS servers, but considering that I can use my own server (and do), I don't consider that to be an issue.
There's RethinkDNS [1](not affiliated to them, just like their software). Sometimes it gets killed on my phone, but otherwise it's a great replacement, adds some much-needed features like proxies and wireguard VPNs on top of a DNS and app level control.
I tried the same route, but got the logs correctly. It gave me a HTTP 410 error. I wouldn't be surprised at all if VLC's youtube plugin is just too old and there's a better one somewhere else. But in the meanwhile, mpv's plugin works (if you're using yt-dlp and not youtube-dl, that is)
I like how flexible matrix bots are but there are some problems that I'm not able to easily solve, like finding out when a new person joins a matrix room because the m.join event is used for user info changes as well as joins.
Edit: I found this [1] table that hopefully simplifies things, I'll see if that works out.
More importantly, it is indexable by search engines (if you use view.matrix.org). But it's not as simple to use as discord quite yet. I say this as a self-hosted matrix user, but it's not quite as simple to call someone else (until element call becomes a thing) or use custom emojis, to show a few problems.
