Ladybird browser is switching from C++ to Swift by monobot in c/programming@programming.dev

[-] monobot@lemmy.ml 29 points 2 months ago

I never understand hate ladybird and SymphonyOS is getting in fediverse.

People are doing interesting work against all odds, everyone ever just saying "it is not possible", finding some random comments from project founder to hate.

But you know what? You and your opinion is not important. People are not doing this to make Linux competitor or Mozzila competitor but to have fun and learn something new.

I also don't want apple near it, but Andreas learned browser development on Safari and with looking for "popular enought" memory safe language it is rust vs swift and just by looking at the code becomes obvious how easier Swift is to pick up. Especially for someone comming from C++.

Haters gonna hate, I wish them luck. Failing is ok too.

The rest of the world will get cheaper solar panels and EVs, that's quite nice.

People Hate the Idea of Car-Free Cities—Until They Live in One by monobot in c/fuck_cars@lemmy.ml

[-] monobot@lemmy.ml 33 points 6 months ago

how do you travel to another city?

Usually by bus or train.

What do you do if the city has high slopes making walking and biking too hard?

Walking is good for you, biking is not too popular in cities with slopes, but electic bikes are changing that.

Or how do elders deal with what other citizens would take for granted in terms of mobility?

There is definitely less mobility, but that is part of getting older isn't it? Usually they just walk a bit slower and use busses and taxies.

Unblocking User Freedom: the right to use adblockers - FSFE by monobot in c/technology@lemmy.ml

Maybe we should stop calling them adblockers.

I am not blocking ads I am blocking spyware and malicious scripts. I wouldn't have anything against well behaving ads without js.

Also making it illegal is nit necessary, just don't show me your content and exclude it from search results and we are good.

What has been the biggest surprise about getting older? by monobot in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[-] monobot@lemmy.ml 31 points 1 year ago

How much older people "don't know fuck about fuck".

As youngling I thought elder know something and I believed them.

Now I know they didn't know anything, same as me and my friends don't.

Any extension to deal with AI-generated articles? by monobot in c/firefox@lemmy.ml

[-] monobot@lemmy.ml 28 points 1 year ago

I think at some point we will have to introduce human confirmation from creator side.

I don't mind someone using chatgpt as a tool to write better articles, but most of internet is sensles bs.

Hear me out: A scripting language that compiles to bash or sh (any suggestions?) by monobot in c/programming@programming.dev

[-] monobot@lemmy.ml 28 points 1 year ago

This thread reminds me of stackoverflow, most people are just convincing you in something else and it is obvious they have never been in your (and mine) situation.

Just answer question if you have some idea, yes we know python exist, that's nice, but not an answer to this question.

Maker of Chrome extension with 300,000+ users tells of constant pressure to sell out by monobot in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

[-] monobot@lemmy.ml 32 points 1 year ago

Yes, criminal activity is everywhere, problem is we haven't yet forbid selling of users data.

And in US is other way around, every political party has blessing of companies.

Do you ever feel like you have to apologize for .7z archives? by monobot in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[-] monobot@lemmy.ml 29 points 1 year ago

Imagine me sending tar.gz without second though.

It was first time they saw file with two extensions. They got scared and worried.

You didn't bought it you rented it! by monobot in c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

If they were not aware of it before buying then it is illegal.

While some of us had it turned on for some time, some didn't. Looks like it is fully stable now.

Yey! Test it by starting intel_gpu_top and than playing video in firefox, if row "Video" goes over 0.0% it is working!

Of course, you need second monitor, it goes down to 0 if video is not visible, since Firefox is not rendering it.
