They are very fierce at censoring their IP material, anything that lands on youtube that hasn’t been altered to avoid copyright bot, gets taken down immediately. even shows that have aired the same day.

Yep, even when bing censors something, it gets censored by DDG aswell, DDG is just a fancy proxy.

I have been following the DMA closely, and so far it has been a big disappointment, just as I expected.

The way the EU approaches this walled garden problem, is to try and offer ways for other competitors to tap into the user base of the bigger players instead of trying to allow all EU citizens to chat with any other EU citizen who uses META Products regardless of their host platform. meaning “us” people who wish to self host an xmpp or Matrix servers and chat with facebook friends, It won’t be straight forward or entirely possible for us to do so. unless maybe by doing a KYC with META. and signing up very stringent service agreements.

Meta will be creating all sorts of hurdles the DMA laws will allow them to, to cripple interoperability, from making other plateform signing up to special permissions from Meta, to hiding interoperability settings and making them opt-in, and building a scary rhetoric why you shouldn’t be allowing other people outside of META to get in contact with you. There are some valid concerns, but I suspect Meta will implement the most spiteful procedures they can get away with, then spin up a rhetoric about proving their users being massing against interoperability.

Caspian report is crap opinions passing as geopolitical knowledge and analysis. I have watched a few of his vids. and the guy doesn’t know what is really happening in other foreign countries, but it doesn’t stop him from writing 30 mn long bullshit videos and impressing an audience that is just as uneducated about those subjects as him. i.e Any one who claims to know everything about every other country in the world is a FRAUD.

Those who buy apple products deserve each other.

I call bullshit on this, This is nothing short of propaganda by think tank that is financed by the military industrial complex.

Putin won’t dare NATO member countries, especially when he hasn’t finished with Ukraine.

I don’t know where you are getting your numbers. maybe it’s your selection bias, but facebook’s userbase keeps groing, and even if its getting less teenager engagement, those teenagers are flocking to Meta’s other platform Instagram.

Contrary to many in here, I don’t think this will cause another exodus from reddit. those who might be concerned by this have already left or reduced their time on the platform

I am not criticizing the free work of the open source community. it is just a recognition that commercial software is way ahead of anything the FOSS community has produced so far. And this is true for almost all software categories

If you are doing professional work. than Gimp doesn’t come close to Photoshop, when they will introduce non-destructive editing Gimp will definitely become better. but PS keeps widening the gap with very powerful tools like AI fill an stuff.

• Gimp needs to seriously reconsider their UX/UI design it is an absolute nightmare. it feels like trying to steer a spaceship from Startreck.

This is Beyond “Can I interest you in some Tracking cookies ?” , this is “You MF better put these cookies down your throat or I will shove them up your Ass”.

Now Nazi Germans are teaming up with Israel and other Germans against the Arabs and the Browns, As long long as they find an inferior race to hate, they are fine with whoever are their allies.

Oh the irony, if only innocent people weren’t at the end of this .

Every accusation by Israelis is a confession

Hopefully, Matrix [Element & al ] and Revolt will catch up to discord

As long as they keep getting money out of it. and with record numbers year over year. they have no incentive to change course. Google has a monopoly over search engine that affords them the unique position of not giving a dime about user satisfaction. the users are trapped anyway!

If you’re not that familiar with the language, it’s likely you won’t be contributing to the project.

You can still borrow and implement features developed by project x into project y , but I do understand the time limitation.

because I am more of a visual learner I wondered whether developers don’t use diagrams and flow charts, or just don’t include them in the docs.

Exactly what I was referring to. its the type of flow charts you find included in some whitepapers as well.

No, I haven’t started my project yet. I was looking for docs with descriptions and diagrams about server-client chat algorithms. And I haven’t found any, that’s why I am asking!

Pakistan needs to get its home security in order. It has been the breeding ground for many armed militias. the 100 deaths in the Latest bombing in Iran seems to have been caused by a militia operating from Pakistan #
