So the web is a corporate war zone now and you can choose feudal protection or being attacked from all sides. What a time to be alive.

Reminds me of the A cup breasts porn ban in Australia a few years ago, because only pedos would watch that

Yeah, one man did hours of profiling and the other made the patch more elegant lol

Now another 7 years and 24 "please rebase this old code" requests before it's merged

We truly live in the future. You opened a PR for a Microsoft product.

Good security feature but only for the phone in your pocket. The old one used as a camera, homeassistant screen, sms to email forwarder, ssh server, will stop being useful.

When did you grow up that Gates has not been evil yet? All of the 90s was marked by Microsoft making home computing worse to create a monopoly. Fucking emails formatted in a way that's unreadable outside Windows, closed .doc format that became a de facto standard in offices and likely many other things I don't remember

There's a torrent on TPB as well as a 280GB of this stuff on archive.org

I'm really surprised that military in such a technologically advanced country just connected random IP cams to the internet

Self censorship, the hardest one to bypass

Yaay, space for 24 more apartment buildings!

The temptation to send it to my spouse is high

Finally, an usecase for USB irons!

Try LSD. It's like being a kid again.

It is very good test for the ability to research, I think. The amount of people who painstakingly went through some video tutorial on PHP and are now developers is insane. I'm sure there's place in the market for them (writing Wordpress themes/plugins, for example), but it's hard to find a programmer with ability to think these days. Not because people are more stupid, but because every other person is a programmer now.

With or without ads?

XMPP. It just works, requires very little resources, is stable and has decent clients.

I would go with Snikket instead of Prosody if I had been starting now.

Conversations on phones, Dino or Gajim on PCs, plus a conversejs install on the xmpp server, to allow web access when needed.

Conversations is easy for the family to figure out.

Exactly, one of the last products not sold in single use plastic packaging yet gets shat on

Contrary to other OSes, the information about it was mainly on the internet, no books or magazines. With only one computer at most homes, and no other internet-connected devices, that posed a problem when something didn't work.

It took me weeks to write a working X11 config on my computer, finding all the hsync/vsync values that worked by rebooting back and forth. And the result was very underwhelming, just a terminal in an immovable window. I think I figured out how to install a window manager but lost all patience before getting to a working DE. Days and days of fiddling and learning.
