Lightning is VERY important. What I like is cove lightning - led strips near ceiling, reflected from the white ceiling. And it is also good to have multiple lightning sources - dimer and slightly warmer to use towards the end of day (sunset) and red (or at least warm) for the night out near floor (like a a fireplace at night). Helps maintain natural circadian rhythms and easier sleep.

LOL, that's funny

Yes, it is very comfusing. "Buy" buttons should be replaced by "License" buttons when you are licensing stuff instead of buyimg it. There should be a law for that.

I have been using mpv on MacOS too. I just had to create an app bundle for it a very simple swift wrapper which just runs mpv command...

Happens to me too. They are probably able to infer it is not a Chrome from the TLS handshake or they run their javascript fingerprinting and found out that the browser didn't have some Chrome features or behaved differently.

Sadly, it is much more difficult to pretend being on a different browser than it was in the past. :/

Everything is distillation prevention and children protection, of course!

And the next step will be to lock the bootloader to prevent any unsigned OSes like linux to protect children.

A lot of devs needs to use linux but they still use it just as a VM (Mac) or in some kind emulation (WSL). How pathetic.

Just implement caches, add indices to your DBs, use CDNs. Servers are very fast nowadays, have quite a lot of RAM and can handle huge amount of clients. No need to implement this anti-bot bullshit, it is mainly marketing, providing solutions to a problem which doesn't exist for most websites.

It is very similar to kernel modules for game anti-cheats. Soon, websites will work on unmodified Windows and Mac computers only, with a signed cloudflare kernel driver installed. :/ They are completrly destroying the web.

It also feels like stealing. You prompted it but the result is not yours. Likely also because AI was trained on data stolen from others.

Sadly they were allowed to acquire WhatsApp even though they already had their Messenger. Meta did it to devour their competition. Even today, lots of people still don't know that whatsapp is owned by Meta.

Actually I think Tesla S looked better than this and the bar was pretty low.

Wow, exactly! That would have been so cool! I always hated Johny Eve's designes at Apple and I find Luce awful too (both interior and exterior). I don't understand how could they invite Johny to destroy such an iconic car brand.

You are betting against insiders, or rather giving money to insiders...

But then what's the point of using google if I can use any chatbot directly.

They are transforming google search into chatbot but they already have a chatbot and by dping that they are losing google search product completely.

I miss times when search used to be fulltext search (also in youtube, ebay, etc). Now it is some kind of embedding vector search skewed by marketing and my previous visit history. It often shows completely irelevant and useless results and it is much harder (even impossible sometimes) to find something even though I am sure it exists (and I am able to find it eventually but it takes much more effort).

>> put everything behind a login

May not always work. I then click on back button and look for the info elsewhere and in most cases I find it. Same with paywalled websites. If you are ok with a small audience (or you provide a unique content) then it makes sense. But I think in most cases you just cut off a lot of people this way and actually you can simply stop creating content if you don't want consumers of it and let others provide the content.

For linux we have bubblewrap, firejail, apparmor and selinux (popular ones, there are far more). But it is often complicated and annoying to set up. Normally one would expect sw developers would write security rules for their apps but it is difficult due to amount of different sandboxing tools and various distro-specific configuration changes.

It would be nice to have it sorted out somehow. Actually Snap is an interesting example of something done in that regard.

Exaclty, the main problem is that they are deciding what content to serve you. They are often mixing posts from accounts which I don't follow with posts from accounts I follow without asking. Then thr are pushing auto-play and infinite scrolling. It would have been a completely different experience if they just showed posts from people I follow and showed them sorted by date.

Currently the best VPN-alternative seem to be Project X https://xtls.github.io/en/ It is flexible and well tested in China but configuring it properly is quite difficult.
