It still has a real impact on the people being harmed. I dont know if bullies getting social consequences for their actions outweighs the pain they have already inflicted.

That said, hopefully better information dissemination will help anyone being targeted to find better places where bullies are defederated/moderated for being shitty humans rather than based on shareholder value and kissing the ring of a dictator.

The momentum on a lot of the "popular node.js package but for Deno" packages died well before they added npm: specifiers and more support for node builtins. Aside from a few notable outliers, denoland is full of stuff that hasn't been updated in 4+ years.

What I like about deno is that I can do everything with web standards, then fill the gaps for server-side needs with the node standard lib. Web standards have come a long way for server code thanks to web workers, but there are still some missing pieces. The deno experience is way better with web standard libraries and jsr, so my hope is the momentum will continue to head in that direction such that the npm: and node: imports just become nice-to-have capabilities for niche uses.

Fortunately, Google TV is fairly easy to lock down and has permission management similar to android (because its just android with a custom launcher)

Shader cache updates usually have an extra icon next to them in the downloads list

Native has a mens line of body wash and deoderant that blurs the line between traditionally masculine and feminine scents. I get their mens and womens stuff fairly interchangeably.

Tbh its hard to tell the difference between their gendered products and no one would bat an eye at the packaging or if asking about the scent since they dont gender the packaging much, if at all, if plausible deniability is important to someone given circumstances.

Mulch and DDG are not firefox-based

Speaking as an engineer doing a lot of web dev, I think people underestimate how much work Mozilla does in standards and low-level shared API's via w3c and others, and how important it is that google isn't the only one in there making decisions. Most w3c standards decisions are made with google, Mozilla, Microsoft, and apple representatives in committees, and as we know, two of those are much more aligned in their own best interests these days, while one kinda wishes mobile web browsing didn't exist.

Would we have a better browser with less Mozilla baggage? Possibly.

Would the web standards that make everything work be better off without Mozilla? No, absolutely not.

Safari's team does what they can within Apple's bullshit intentional deprioritization of anything that could compete with the App Store, Edge's team has brought some sanity to the chromium side and toned back some of Google's wilder standards proposals and intentions. The fact that there are now 0 legitimate reasons for a website to "only work in chrome" (aside from some mobile safari things still) nowadays is all the stuff behind the scenes that matters. Even google is doing less FAFO shipping features and not caring about what other browsers need.

That said, maybe a disruptions is needed to a new paradigm could step in. Maybe a Mozilla Foundation placed under other ownership with a narrowed focus.

In the Linux space, the massive investments that GNOME, KDE, and others have been able to garner the last few years from governments and interested organizations is promising. There could be a similar interest in a web-focused org that could champion things without the Mozilla baggage and intent to avoid the same fate.

Listen to the podcast. It's... Awful. The AI voices trying to do radio show-style things like spelling out some letters of words or enunciating oddly is a whole level of cringe. Plus my podcast was full of hallucinations. Very obviously saying one of my top songs was by a different one of my top artists.

My wrapped stats weren't super off, but they were off. Clearly some artists they favor or punish in rankings. Whether thats intentional, buggy code, or hallucination, eh, who knows.

Either way, it was a reminder that ive been wanting to switch to tidal for a while. The day list used to be really good, too, but it has had a noticeable drop in quality since the last round of layoffs, and it shows a lot more evidence of being AI-based rather than algorithm-based.

I run a fairly standard arch setup and have had very few issues with games. I've done a bit of tinkering with bottles, lutris, etc, but pretty much everything just works first time with steam.

I've only had to set a few launch flags, usually for a game to use directx instead of vulkan or vice-versa. Sometimes you can't play a game on launch, but usually one of the first few patches will get things in working order. Steam deck popularity has done wonders for this aspect.

The most common issue I run into is a game update that will break or degrade the experience. But usually those get fixed fairly quickly in follow up patches. A lot of developers will skip testing in proton (mostly because itll "just work" these days) but i imagine theyll start doing so more often before pushing updates as steam decks and Linux become larger shares of players.

Maybe. But its a bit pointless if only a subset of the user base goes through the effort.

If you want to start the most effective, upgrade your router or primary switch to 2.5G or 10G. Then at least there is a low likelihood of a bottleneck when your devices are communicating internally with each other and youll have overhead downstream. Then, if you have multiple switches, prioritize the highest bandwitch between them over upgrading your devices beyond 1gb nic's.

I use an opnsense router with 2.5g nic's, and then I have a 2.5g switch and a 1gb switch than are connected via a 10gb fiber link. (This is all enterprise ubiquity level stuff). But all my downstream devices and switches are 1gb snd I have no plans to upgrade intentionally. Internally, I won't see bottlenecks often since communication between the switches and modems is enough to support multiple devices spamming 1gb/s file transfers simultaneously (not that itll happen often lol)

So my WiFi access points, primary NAS, and my most used PC are all on 2.5gb connections since they could benefit. But everything else is on 1gb since the switch has way more ports and was way cheaper.

I'm not against buying 10g switches for future proofing, but they're still too costly for my needs, and its unlikely I'll wish I had 10g any time soon esp when it comes to internet. Even if I upgrade beyond 1gb fiber service, it'd be so thay multiple devices can fully saturate a 1gb NIC at the same time, not so one computer can speed test 3gb+.

Thay said, what I have is overkill, but i enjoy some homelab tinkering.
