no double ratchet encryption sans global identity whilst being backed by a pre-mined zero knowledge self-mixing cryptocoin capable of running an LLM in its homomorphic VM no car

Who knew, when you try to compel live speech you get shitty speech. The interview exchange is the most contrived medium of exchange ever invented, it actually got a lot of push back when it was first invented or used in news media in the 1850s, presumably for coaxing and normalizing bullshit.

I don't watch grid walks or anything outside of lights out / chequered flag because shoving cameras in faces of people is just a celebrity on celebrity toss off nowadays.

literally nothing to look forward to except who will split the mercedes.

my guy says short lyved instead of short-lived.

API - Adversarial Programming Interface

I'm just glad more scientists are admitting that philosophy spawned their lifestyle and are willing to bring attention to the fact Philosophy of Science exists even if just to disparage it for questioning their knowledge supremacy.

I'm in the Ian Angell camp (Science's First Mistake), who says it is the individual delusions (not meant in a negative way) that are useful and fallible at the same time.

best i've seen so far for a systematic way of copy pasting chats, decrypting and having them shown threaded.

secure encrypted plaintext messaging on top of another chat service probably doesn't get easier than this. I would only advise to do the key exchange off piste on some other open channel so no one can say your random data sending has any intention they ascribe to it.

it really should be an option next to any subscribe button, great feed curation is about subtraction as much as addition.

It shows no concern for how easily our network graph is used to control us, we should be able to lift and shift our messaging abilities anywhere after 100 years of consumers wanting that exact feature.

Very similar in approach to DarkMX

same

10% set as another default is just to avoid the stigma of being 100% google pions.

I can't wait until vivaldi introduces a random default search engine feature on each right-click search. The browsers for sure contributed to the search monopoly but now is as good a time as any to right that wrong.

I discovered you could find the very latest news by using, what else, a search engine!

https://search.brave.com/news?q=news https://duckduckgo.com/?q=news&iar=news&ia=news

this gets asked very often, yet there is no updated priority for that feature. sad.

found the quick demo intro video

does someone want to tell us what makes it worth ~$300 ?

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/426 seems to be the open issue for this. Other things took priority before federation but now /c/all is becoming unwieldy so it might be good to take another look.

How desperate are you? I've made a quick and dirty tampermonkey script to filter unwanted communities from the home feed in one click.

https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/426314-filter-lemmy-ml-communities

I just click the '[Y]' next to the community name and it will filter that /c/ out forever more. It really should be server side though.

This video is a barely disguised nostalgia video with reverse psychology for engagement. I had to switch away tabs to digest the audio only of this empty carb'd meta-critique.

For sure:

• YTubers target impulsive viewers to hit ad money metrics, so do games/everything, the idea is to keep them emotional and impulsive too.
• YTubers today are phoney viewhackers and less passionate or inspirational people
• YT was better when it was less focused on engagement as the expectations where not widely known or set
• Reaction thumbnail baits are out of hand
• Instructionalism or guidance posting "DO THIS, NOT THIS" is out of hand
• "WILL THIS?" or mystery posting is out of hand
• The will to be considered and/or ridiculed at all costs is preferable to no clicks

But the reason for all the bait is that brand is the only defensible power available to the YTuber (read: youtube employee), so videos discreetly bury the lede and redirect expected satisfaction back to the experience of their safe approachable persona.

we like self-censorship too much over here, the fewer concepts we are allowed to utter the better people we are.

Multi-decade electric vehicle mandates are silly, why do governments demand to stagnate on this less than perfect efficiency platform of tech? If it is so great it will get there on its own without signalling no hope for efforts to surpass it. Genius pops up rarely but they seem sure it won't happen in their lifetime.

I don't set out to consume a thing specifically because of its newness. I recognize I can easily dismiss all other things previously considered. It just so happens that those old things out there, through no fault of their own, had time to age and be surpassed by other content... is this the hot take or new-to-me content that will help me improve my understanding and life? well, let's find out, I got nothing better to do and deep diving into the source myself is a chore.

I use uBlock Origin and I didn't even know uMatrix existed.

How were people using this advanced approach to blocking unwanted site features? blocking autoload video servers or something?

you seem to have got the title and url around the wrong way... lemme should have advised you against that.

• Scroll Anywhere - hold right click to scroll, for ergonomics.
• BlockTube - one click and spammy clickbait channels are blocked forever
• Dark Reader - beautiful auto styling for dark mode normal web pages.
• EmailThis - sometimes you just want to read an article in its cleanest form on your other device without being signed in to both devices or whatever firefox makes you do. I just use my free temp email from https://emaildrop.io

Best to upgrade when the efficiency gains expected from the next generation are going to be insignificant. Which means technically now is a great time to upgrade as they are already talking about future proof, forever PCs. Windows is not even looking to surpass version 10 and is no longer the poster child of Microsoft.

However, smartphone and laptop manufacturers seem in cohorts to ensure their entire suite of products (even top end) leave you wanting for something (next year). Choice fatigue on the consumer side is a real thing, and it's caused by choice maxxing from makers who all try to frustrate consumers into a more profitable tier but savvy consumers see the showstopping feature denial at the lower "fragile" tiers. It only takes one manufacturer to upset the space but it's too tantalizing not to do the same once there (see Xiaomi).

They usually say "markets are efficient at serving consumer wants" and most of those desires are manufactured if you ask me. Markets have to be regulated to offset big companies that want to cruise on inefficient monopoly-stifle-everybody-else mode for as long as possible.

What you are getting at touches on the element of competition, which brings differentiation to products so that they can be made in ways you find ethical at the price you are willing to pay, in this case also zero. The Open Source replicas come with all the fragility and concern for future maintenance and churn that is unbearable to ponder for most, so they accept ads into their life until something really worth changing to comes along.

Got to remember too, it's easy to copy design decisions after they've been thoroughly tested for user stickiness. Things that seems simple in hindsight probably required great insight and gusto to confirm with the angry market, who don't even know what they want (you know the Faster Horses Henry Ford quote). I have to keep reminding myself that the underlying tech piping is usually secondary... facebook could have been built in 1999 with the same tech but the ubiquity of access at the timing of actual release was simply perfect.

Not just to see WHEN but WHERE in the market are the entry points, google can cross reference all the kids apps and user habits that are already formed and hijack away. It's not a certainty but it's like the ambulance driver who moonlights as a personal injury lawyer, instead of a heart monitor in the back of the van, it's the victim's favorite slot machine to decide the fee structure.

They say the newcomer needs to be 9x as good as the incumbent and to win you must make legacy users cycle through the old reward mission at a faster rate than before. So much for distraction neutral life furthering apps in the future.

Quality journalism and long-form seem to have died off together, or were they killed off by social media platforms monopolizing all our precious in-between times of life by burying flecks of gold so deep in our feeds?

On the flip side, us readers should have predicted that these digital editor algorithms have built-in disdain for human flourishing and we should have pledged to simulate a "magazine reading" browsing style i.e. limit ourselves to a certain number of headlines parsed, per quality articles read, per day. So if the quality drops, the interaction stops, like an exploitation stop-gap. Instead we let the algorithms alter us.

Technology can just as well recognize vein patterns and gate patterns too. People should be concerned that any seemingly insignificant data points about their life are being misconstrued by authorities to build narratives they want to be true.

it will just incentivize more bickering and pile-ons, people being disparaged for not selecting the downvote reason the upvoters believe should have been selected. "You're all just X-aphobic, admit it."

When everything always boils down to approval or dismissal of the moral values espoused, anyway, that's why vague up/down works.

what could go wrong?

Firefox has been leaking memory and crashing like mad for me since v73. They seem too focused on mass consumed content and containment, losing sight of the basic principals of an independent browser for all niches great and small.

I can't go back to having no Picture-in-picture though so hopefully it's a growing pain worth enduring.

Interesting project, did anyone get sound and video to work?

clearly it's designed for linux users, I just wish I could get the extra pixel coloring working with the windows terminals I use.

beautiful in darker modes, though the reply quote is thicker/brighter and can make the double line messy. I wonder if down the line the person's quote can be made the same color as that user's assigned color for the reply thread.

I’ve been tweaking a lot of things on the comments to make them look better on mobile, and have the tree stand out better. Taking a lot of ideas from slide and boost, some native reddit clients. whaddya think?

I was going to suggest top level replies deserve a little more breathing room between the above replies, when there is only one or two replies to each it's a little claustrophobic.

They aren't perfect, I prefer web video as it's better with dynamic bitstreams.

I actually don't know how live acestreams work best but they often they lag (if they are unpopular streams) and many are of bad quality or bloated, use a lot of bandwidth because transcoding live stuff is hard. Still is a good backup option in a pinch.

Also beware acestreams rely on users uploading (so use at your own risk)

https://acestreamsearch.net/en/?q=sky - many ace streams are held behind walled gardens but they are publicly searchable, if you know what the title will be for your live streaming event (sometimes the title is obfuscated by the streamer).

Raw graphql api for searching popular torrent sites, it's without a gui so it will likely never be blocked.

Search is coming along nicely, it's fast and relevant, but it would be nice to see the actual community the comment result is is coming from too (it shows the community for posts but not comment search results). Would be good for context.
