base64 image is just text…

How do you stop someone posting base64 encoded CSAM. And as it is “censorship resistant” you can’t even remove it… It was even a problem here in Lemmy, assholes are around the internet to destroy anything.

Also cryptobros:

The captcha service can be replaced by other “anti-spam strategies”, such proof of balance of a certain cryptocurrency. For example, a subplebbit owner might require that posts be signed by users holding at least 1 ETH, or at least 1 token of his choice.

The more I read about this it sounds more and more terrible.

From the whitepaper it seems like you cannot comment at all? Or each comment is a post also, so you need a server, you need to host it to be able to reply? I don’t see a mention how an upvote/downvote system could work.

How this is even similar to reddit? From what I could find it’s much like a topic based microblogging, and it’s a very one way communication. As it’s similar to IPFS and torrent, which are also very one way communication. Seems like an interesting idea, but I don’t see why it was compared to reddit.

Personal opinion, IPFS clones are reinvented about every year, and because they sound very good on paper, but noone could figure out a legit usecase - maybe except piracy - they fail after a while. Maybe if we would become an actual InterPlanetary species with colonies on Mars they could be useful, but until I don’t really see a point trying it again and again and again…

I don’t said your devices will stop working, you misunderstand the whole conversation. Form factors change all time, I have here a 5.25" 8 MB HDD next to me. “Planned obsolescence” that I can’t use a 30 years old component? You can hardly buy a motherboard with floppy or IDE/PATA ports. Do you also miss them?

I mean, it’s expected that new devices won’t have all the old ports, like USB killed all the serial and parallel and other terrible single use ports, thanks god. You can always buy dongles, like, I have IDE-USB converter so I can still use my old devices. I recently bought a laptop IDE-m.2 converter, so I can use m.2 sata SSD in a Win-98 era laptop. Where is this obsolescence, I could work it around easily. SATA won’t disappear, and 2.5" to 3.5" adapters are cheap as hell, as it’s just a plastic frame.

It’s the same with NVMe, what do you mean.

Have you ever opened a 2.5" sata ssd? half of the box is empty, it’s just there so you can screw it to the case on the other side. I hope that form factor will die soon. We need nvme in m.2 format for everything small, and 3.5" for servers. 2.5" should disappear.

That shouldn’t happen. Can you comment there so the maintainer can take a look?

Berzelius was an asshole. Antimony is Antimon* in most languages, even in German, but he chose Sb from Latin stibium

Found one more, with a similar double name, but there he used at least the German name: Tungsten (W) is Wolfram in German

I found a reddit post why sodium and potassium have 2 names:

There was some argument over what to call the elements. They were discovered by Sir Humphrey Davy who called them “sodium” from the Latin “sodanum” for a compound of sodium used as a treatment for headaches, and “potassium” from English “potash” which was the method used to extract potassium salts.

But a German chemist, Ludwig Wilhelm Gilbert, proposed “natronium” from Neo-Latin as a reference to “natron” which is what the Egyptians called sodium carbonate, and “kalium” from the Neo-Latin of the Arabic “al qalyah” which means “ashes”.

So in English they were “sodium” and “potassium”, but in German they were “Natronium” (now simply “Natrium”) and “Kalium”.

It just so happened that the guy who invented the modern chemical symbols was Jöns Jacob Berzelius. He was Swiss and spoke German, so he derived the symbols from the German names.

Why don’t you use the version from AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hoptodesk-bin

Look up microg, with that you can use apps like that without play services

Wtf is that title.

This doesn’t mean that it has no purpose, but it isn’t involved a bit in the operation. […] Since the SRAM and CCD layers are pretty thin, they are pretty fragile and could result in damage during manufacturing or handling. With the added dummy silicon, the issue is eliminated.

I think that’s the only one. On the wiki page of android version history it’s listed as a feature of 14, and if other version would have similar limitations it would be also listed there:

Installation of apps designed to target Android versions and SDKs older than Marshmallow (6.0) is blocked to prevent malware.

Veritasium had a good video recently about SS7, and how users can be tracked: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVyu7NB7W6Y

(In news like this, it would be useful to at least include a link or some minimal context to see what it’s about. Followers of that mastodon account should be familiar with what the hell is puppet, but this is a general programming community.)

Puppet, an automated administrative engine for your Linux, Unix, and Windows systems, performs administrative tasks (such as adding users, installing packages, and updating server configurations) based on a centralized specification.

Is this real 8k? A lot 4k projectors fake 4k by displaying 4 1080p images after each other, for a 60fps fake 4k they need only 240fps, 240 fps is not a big feat for dlp projectors.

No info on physical resolution in the press release either.

I hope this 8k may lower the prices of true 4k projectors, as they won’t be the absolute high end any more.

Yes, that’s why I wrote “relatives”.

But if he was a monozygotic twin, he could have genetic descendants from his brother.

Repost, you were late by 7 minutes :) https://sh.itjust.works/post/29583096

They sold licensed the brand to TCL in 2016, so there were some Chinese android phones with BB branding, the last one was Evolve X in 2018, 6 years ago. iirc they were very overpriced

I won’t watch that neckbeard’s video, only watched the first few minutes. Sorry it’s very annoying.

In the problematic article everything is in conditional tense: would/could/theoretically. Yes, it’s a clickbait shitty “article”, but if you read carefully, nothing is presented as a fact, pure speculation, even the title is “would kill kernel-level anti-cheat” not “will kill”. There was nothing to fact check in that article because it never contained any facts.

And that’s the news section not the in-house reviews. It’s terrible that current tech journalism is this clickbaity, but your comment on an unrelated, and very in depth review is just spreading FUD. If you would comment this on a Notebookcheck news it would be valid criticism.
