fine_sandy_bottom,

I mean… the wisdom not really incorrect - the oil would soak into the ground. In this era people just piled up garbage in their back yard and burned it. Obviously this isn’t an appropriate way to dispose of things in 2024.

fine_sandy_bottom,

Semantics. What does it mean to “dispose” of something?

to get rid of something, especially by throwing it away

cambridge dictionary

fine_sandy_bottom,

Not really, the vaaaast majority of PC users don’t need the linux commandline.

fine_sandy_bottom,

WDYM? I thought canonical was kinda standing their ground with snaps.

fine_sandy_bottom,

firefox has a built in function to “copy link without site tracking” now.

firefox also has total cookie protection which may (more may not) make Container Tabs kinda moot ?

Alright boys, I've been converted to the light side and have installed F-Droid. Now what?

Basically title. I waited on installing F droid for a long time because my phone threw many scary warnings when I tried a long time ago. But now I have it, and I got some fossify apps, but since there is no “Editor’s Picks” on F- droid I dont really know where to go from here....

fine_sandy_bottom,

I much prefer obtainium

fine_sandy_bottom,

It was pretty funny when push came to shove and they all pulled their heads in. “Well if I don’t do what they’re saying they might remove me so I have to do what they say for the good of the community”. That’s… not how that works.

fine_sandy_bottom,

I can’t think of when I’ve actually used it.

I’ve seen comments about how 3, 4, 5 allows you to make a square corner with a tape measure, but I’ve never had an opportunity to use that trick.

I find myself trying to guess the area of things a lot more.

fine_sandy_bottom,

That’s not how legal matters work.

Firstly, imposing on someone else’s intellectual property is not “illegal”, because that usually refers to crimes. This is a civil issue, as in the some company is demanding the dev stops or else they’ll sue him or something.

Secondly, it doesn’t really matter whether the dev is “right” or could prevail against a legal claim - because you just wouldn’t bother trying. Imagine you have an ok job, take care of your family, and made this plugin on a whim just because you can. Your days are full of taking your kids to the park, spending time with your wife, playing around with your hobbies, that stuff. Maybe you’re not wealthy, but your salary is enough to look after your family and make your mortgage repayments. Then Haier threatens to sue you, and although you could likely prevail mounting a defense would probably cost you a years worth of mortgage repayments. Maybe you could represent yourself but that might take a years worth of saturdays writing and responding to legal stuff that you don’t really know much about. Bear in mind that there’s no financial support from the open source community.

It just doesn’t really matter whether Haier has a legit claim.

Self-hosted or personal email solutions?

I have a unique name, think John Doe, and I’m hoping to create a unique and “professional” looking email account like johndoe@gmail.com or john@doe.com. Since my name is common, all reasonable permutations are taken. I was considering purchasing a domain with something unique, then making personal family email accounts for...

fine_sandy_bottom,

Friends don’t let friends self host email.

Easy enough to make it work, but maintaining 100% uptime and 100% deliverability is very difficult.

fine_sandy_bottom,

I guess my understanding of an LLM must be way off base.

I had thought that asking an LLM to edit a video was simply out of scope. Like asking your self driving car to wash the dishes.

fine_sandy_bottom,

Honestly, I think it’s a lot more complicated than that. Yes it’s possible that someone could be compelled to update a warrant canary, but it’s infinitely more likely that they’re simply coerced, like their lawyer tells them to.

EFFs Canary Watch project found that warrant canaries were a flawed principle for a number of other reasons.

Regardless, it remains mildly interesting.

fine_sandy_bottom,

This just embeds the meta data from the side cars right?

fine_sandy_bottom,

As I recall working with EXIF is generally a pain in the butt. In js the best you can hope for is a wrapper around some CLI based thing that I can’t remember the name of right now.

fine_sandy_bottom,

If I understand you correctly this would only really be helpful if I was using immich, correct ?

fine_sandy_bottom,

I’m more concerned with privacy than most, but I do in fact shit with the door open. When I’m at home I mean.
