2·27 days agoThe PieFed web UI has a daily limit you can set, btw. Doesn’t work with apps but you can uninstall all the apps and use PieFed as a pwa which is very app-y.

2·27 days agoI guess if it were effective then Google wouldn’t provide it.
There is an app called App Block which is a bit more hard to get around.
Perhaps the key is finding things to do that are better. Volunteer work, study, get a dog, etc

3·27 days agoIn the settings, isn’t there a “digital wellbeing and parental controls” area? I’m pretty sure that’s a stock Android thing.

Technology@beehaw.org•Age Verification Laws Are Multiplying Like a Virus, and Your Linux Computer Might be NextEnglish
251·1 month agoThe thing about doing age verification at the OS level is the user could just install a crack that rewrites the necessary code. It’ll take some heavy DRM type stuff to block that. Possibly hardware support, like a specialised TPM.
No way can that be standardised and then rolled out quickly. If they rush it then it’ll be some proprietary power grab.
The alternative is each website and app does it separately which will be spotty and provide endless security breaches.
It’ll be a shitshow either way.

Technology@beehaw.org•We’re Training Students To Write Worse To Prove They’re Not Robots, And It’s Pushing Them To Use More AIEnglish
15·1 month ago18% is nowhere near high enough to be throwing around accusations like that. Seems like the teachers don’t know how to interpret the results.
Ohhh, I get it now. Thanks for spelling it out.
Sorry for hurting your feelings. I didn’t mean to imply your bs detector is broken but I can see how it would come across that way.
No.
Copy and paste the body of your post into https://copyleaks.com/ai-content-detector or https://gptzero.me/.
It’s ok to be deceived, I don’t blame you for it.
Ironically, that whole article is LLM-generated. I didn’t think The Atlantic would do that, very disappointed.

2·5 months agoSounds really good!
You’re planning a version that runs on Linux too, right? Your screenshot looks like Windows.

4·5 months agoIf you could have it track browser usage too then it could donate to Lemmy, PieFed, Mbin, Mastodon, etc.

Programming@programming.dev•Which is more important to you in a language, feature richness or documentation quality?English
14·7 months agoWithout good documentation it’s impossible to do anything.
Frameworks and libraries (and their docs) are more important than language features, because who wants to reinvent the wheel?
Community is more important than anything. No point building something if you can’t find help or collaborators or people who make frameworks & libs.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Backblaze is slow for Nextcloud. Any recommendations for faster s3 compatible storage?English
18·8 months agoThere are sooo many S3 providers.
Hetzner is 5 Euro / mo for 1 TB (traffic is extra). Cloudflare R2 is $15 / mo for 1 TB (traffic is free and they charge per GB so you’d probably pay much less than that).

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Deploying Nextcloud on AWS ECS with PulumiEnglish
8·8 months agoOne availability zone is enough. I am not convinced that Aurora is good value.
This seems like an ad for pulumi, whatever that is.
Data center servers are a different breed. I got an old one for cheap once and only ran it for a few minutes because it sounded like a jet engine. No way to make that thing efficient.

2·8 months agoUse whatever stack you want practice with - what you describe could be done in any stack.






Yes although what tends to happen is the capitalists just take MIT licenced code and make bank off it.
This is all moot now that LLMs can launder the code anyway.
