> Even if it was, that isn't a critique of the comment's argument. Yes, it is. The core of their comment is "oh noes western values will be lost!" (Or as they put it: "the global W…

> I believe thinking too much about kids is a trap. Basically you should have them if you can. I cannot think of worse advice. Congratulations to you that you found a life that wor…

You realize China is having its own demographic crash, yeah? And India's birth rate is at or below replacement? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_India Bluntly, wheth…

So, to be clear, I spent my time reverse engineering software rather than the hardware itself. That said, my observation is that a lot of hardware reverse engineering is software r…

Absolutely. And the other thing I love about it is the communities are typically super open and collaborative. I remember back when I first got into GBA development, there was a to…

Yes, just hacking nights and weekends. I've done my fair share of console reverse engineering, developing software for console devices (mostly GBA and NDS development, but a fair b…

> Jit.si must not care about privacy or they'd have other OAuth options from the start. Such as? What provider would you be comfortable with?

If they took away the code or relicensed it so you couldn't run it yourself I'd have a lot more sympathy.

Yup, very true.

Shame the dream of multicast died...

ffs, they're OAuth providers . It's not like they're passing the video streams over to Google and Facebook so they can mine them for PII. All they'll learn is that a user with an i…

No, this is like a restaurant giving you free food, and then when they change the recipe, you saying "WTF, you changed the food and now it's too salty, I hate it. Yeah, I could coo…

> I doubt this is due to illegal things. There's kind of a limit to how much you can do illegally on a video feed. ... are... are you joking ?!

Fascinating reading the angry comments here. Don't blame Jitsi. Blame the people abusing their previously wide open service. They're why we can't have nice things. As for expecting…

Just because you define "decentralized" as strictly "peer-to-peer" doesn't mean everyone does. Wikipedia literally uses the word "decentralized" to describe the Fediverse, which wo…

It goes to show how your upbringing affects these things. Before Ruby I spent a lot of time in Smalltalk which really shaped the way I thought about language and program structure,…

Just popping in to say: me too! I feel like there needs to be a community or forum for people like us. I know at least one other person in my circle doing the same. Seems to be rar…

So I just need to upgrade my current induction stove to a newer model? That seems reasonable... ;)

Not worth it. A temperature controllable kettle that shuts itself off and can keep water warm is both incredibly convenient and far more safe.

It's Electron-based, yes. Anyone using it on Wayland with fractional scaling will know that...

No you don't. A ban forces industries to create alternatives. Otherwise they won't bother. You just schedule a phased elimination over time so those alternatives can get developed.…

What? The things I may want to learn or do in service of a hobby or personal interest are very different from those topics relevant to my professional life, and the motivations and…
