Privacy should be a basic human right.
Data collection could be massively abused by oppressive governments.

Not caring about it = Not caring about your rights.

Thank you for LibreSpeed! <3
Been using it for a few years now,
and it's become my go-to network speed testing tool

vomits in mouth a little

WASM = WebAssembly,
this has nothing to do with Java,
but with JS (JavaScript).

JS works with JIT (Just In Time) compilation, meaning every user that requests a web page, will request the JS and your browser will compile that JS on the fly as you request it.

WASM on the other hand is pre-compiled once, by the developer, when he/she is making the code. So when a user requests a WASM binary, they don't have to wait for JIT compilation, since it was already pre-compiled by the developer.

They only have to wait for a tiny piece of JS,
which is still JIT compiled,
a tiny piece of JS to load in the WASM binary.

This saves the user from waiting on JIT compilation and thus speeds up requesting web pages.

WASM also increases security,
since binaries are harder to reverse engineer then plain text JS.

Due to those reasons,
I believe WASM will be the future for Web development.

No clue why people are hating on WASM,
but I guess they just don't grasp all of the above yet.

Flatpak:
To limit shady proprietary software from accessing your full storage / hardware.
You can manage the sandbox access through tools like FlatSeal.

Snap:
To ruin your day / user experience.

Both where introduced as a universal way to distribute packages on various distros.

RedLib, the continuation of LibReddit,
still works:
https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib

I use it in combination with this GreaseMonkey script,
to redirect me to a random RedLib instance:

Due to instances often going down and/or stop working.

Amazing, basically native speeds,
currently playing Horizon Forbidden West with maxed out graphics and DRS disabled at a steady 60-80 FPS.

Previously I also played Horizon Zero Dawn in it, also maxed out graphics, steady locked 100 FPS,
below is a benchmark comparison of HZD in the Linux host OS and the Windows KVM guest OS:

Hope my and other instances will de-federate from Threads/Meta.

We don't need that spyware giant in the fediverse..

Gitea is not really recommended anymore these days, due to being taken over by a for-profit comany + introducing a paid tier.

Nowadays Forgejo is the project to look at.

I don't trust CloudFlare with my data,
assume they will sell it since it's a for-profit company.

Meanwhile Quad9 touts about not logging IPs and being GDPR compliant.

You can't blame people for the (sometimes) limited brainset they receive.

If it's unclear to the majority, then it's Lemmy which should aim to simplify the process of joining/explaining it to the general population.

Federated software is awesome, but sadly the recruiting process is still too difficult for many.

If it's unclear which app to download / which instance to join, then that's where a lot of registrations are being missed out on.

So kind of Google, always putting out new fun challenges to encourage people to get their hands dirty with hacking their crap :)
