schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.deto Programming@programming.dev•What do you honestly think about Plebbit Protocol, and do you see it succeeding in the future?5·7 days agoif you can post text, you can post base64-encoded data, incl. images
What would “selling Chrome” even entail? The vast majority of Chrome’s source code is free and open source software, i.e. it has no owners. Does the US government want Google’s developers of the Chromium codebase to work on another company’s payroll instead? Do they want Google to be prohibited from distributing a browser based on the Chromium codebase? Have they given any of this any thought at all?

schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.deto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•PHP: Gender\Gender - Manual391·14 days agoIf you click around a bit more in that documentation, you can see that that isn’t an enumeration of genders, it’s an interface for answering the question which gender any given name belongs to. (For example, “Andrea” is understood as exclusively feminine for German speakers, but it’s a common male first name in Italy.)

- SMS app from Simple Mobile Apps ✅
- WhatsApp ❌
- stock video recording camera shortcut that came with my phone ❌
- OpenCamera ✅
3/5 and as I was writing this I found out I might be able to get rid of the video recording shortcut because apparently a software update exposed the full video resolution to OpenCamera… although I still have to test that.
schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@beehaw.org•The inarguable case for banning social media for teens6·24 days agoIt’s a possible distinction to make, the main problem is that the article in the OP didn’t make that distinction.
schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@beehaw.org•The inarguable case for banning social media for teens7·24 days agoAgain, how do you define “social media”?
I grew up on IRC as well as web forums and found those social interactions very fun overall, not dissimilar from IRL social interactions.
schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@beehaw.org•The inarguable case for banning social media for teens2·24 days agoOK, what’s the definition of “social media” for that purpose then?
schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@beehaw.org•The inarguable case for banning social media for teens4·24 days agoI tend to be unsympathetic in general to ideas that anyone (including young people) needs to be “protected” from their own decisions.
schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@beehaw.org•The inarguable case for banning social media for teens23·25 days agoSo teens who don’t fit in well in the IRL spaces that are available to them should have 0 ways to have social interactions?
If teen me hadn’t had the internet, I would have 0 joyful memories whatsoever of my teen years. Anyone sympathizing with the ideas in the OP is in my mind purely evil and oppressive, I have no other words to describe this.

schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.deto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•When 'Pass the Interview' = 'Cancel My Flight'821·2 months ago“Software for airplanes” is a broad term. If I ever get into a position to make software for airplanes, it’s probably not going to be things that can crash the plane. The entertainment system is still software for airplanes.

Doesn’t PeerTube already do this? Maybe I am mistaken.
In any case there’s nothing inherently preventing this, just because a platform gets some of its data from other servers instead of its own users, it doesn’t mean it can’t use that data to run a recommendation algorithm.
I don’t want it though. I prefer choosing for myself what sources I want to get information from instead of getting any of it recommended by the platform operator.
