NateSwift@beehaw.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What was the most "I was the only one to escape" situation you've been in?English81·2 years agoI feel like this works. “I was the only one to escape the disaster that was remote learning”
Seeing the “natha” username is so vindicating. I thought I had typed my name wrong for so long
NateSwift@beehaw.orgto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Delta Chat: Everything-apps without platforms - say 'hi' to xstore 😊6·2 years agoThe main appeal of “everything apps” is the amount of control and influence they afford to whoever owns them.
The benefit to users is that various services should interact with each other better and single sign on
NateSwift@beehaw.orgto Fediverse@lemmy.ml•Hey, I host a lemmy instance focused on books and reading (and all the communities that fall under that umbrella)2·2 years agoThe more you know! It seems the best way to learn is still by saying the wrong thing online
NateSwift@beehaw.orgto Fediverse@lemmy.ml•Hey, I host a lemmy instance focused on books and reading (and all the communities that fall under that umbrella)5·2 years agoYou aren’t hosting any of the images from federated instances, so legally you should be fine. I do agree that the clutter from them can be a huge pain though, and I don’t see many users from those instances involved in SFW conversion
NateSwift@beehaw.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's some really unpopular opinion you have?English3·2 years agoI think online the topic has broadly fallen into either “no abortion ever” or “abortion is always okay” and most people’s opinion falls somewhere in between.
Like, I think most people would agree that abortion the day a baby is due is wrong and most believe that abortion the day after conception is okay
I don’t think I could daily drive this but it looks really neat! It gives a futuristic windows xp kinda vibe
NateSwift@beehaw.orgto Technology@lemmy.ml•Tor’s shadowy reputation will only end if we all use it | EngadgetEnglish36·2 years agoDisclaimer that I haven’t used Tor in a while, do your own research, etc
The US navy designed and open sourced the Tor network. If all the traffic meant to be anonymous was coming from the US navy it doesn’t work well as an anonymizer. There’s been various claims that they have backdoors over the years, but to my knowledge none have held water.
Unless you’re running an exit node (which requires different software than the Tor browser) other people’s traffic isn’t getting routed through you so you’re fine legally.
VPNs are not very good at protecting you from the websites or services you connect to. They’re best used to hide where you’re connecting to from your ISP. Modern fingerprinting using things like browsing habits, installed software, web browser size, cookies, etc is barely effected by VPNs and the Tor browser takes care of an minimizes lots of those tools.
The biggest issue for day to day use for me is how slow it is. Because your traffic is being routed through 3-5 nodes before getting to its destination overall speed and latency suffer a lot
NateSwift@beehaw.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What discontinued feature do you miss from phones or other technologies?English11·2 years agoThe IR blaster on my galaxy s6. Not the most used feature, but when the Air BnB didn’t have all the remotes it was a life saver.
NateSwift@beehaw.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What kind of funds are some YouTubers sitting on 🤨English6·2 years agoThe channel you linked is in the top 2.5% youtube channels, uploaded a video a couple years ago that hit 9.5 million views, and had an ongoing sponsorship deal with square space and other large companies.
The person behind the channel also appears to work at a college doing this kind of thing as their job. The way you get access to neuron cultures is by having a job where you work with them, being passionate about teaching and sharing that with other people, and asking nicely.
In this particular case, the youtube channel seems to be a hobby. A side thing. It’s not the driving force behind the availability of their tools and equipment.
NateSwift@beehaw.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What kind of funds are some YouTubers sitting on 🤨English12·2 years agoA lot of these channels start by using equipment from their job, or losing money on a youtube channel as a hobby while doing other work. If you already have/work at a wood shop, there isn’t a startup cost to use a lathe. If you work in a lab, you can often use tools when they aren’t being used for work projects.
The vast majority of youtube channels don’t make any money. The majority of channels that do make money don’t make enough to live off of. The few that do usually make most of their money from brand deals, donations, and merch.
NateSwift@beehaw.orgto Linux Gaming@lemmy.ml•Starting up steam will sometimes crash Gnome2·2 years agoif you’re willing to give it a shot, it should be as easy as opening a terminal app, typing “steam” and pressing enter. The normal steam UI will pop up then
Not when discord launched. Discord had far better audio quality, multiple text and voice channels, and some moderation tools. Skype was basically a group chat with a group call function
