I guess it doesn’t really work as described. The data that’s valuable is your content history & unique username. There’s no way around having to migrate/store this somewhere, and it shouldn’t have to be replicated by every node. So basically we just need a solution for porting account data from one instance to another securely and accurately

Can’t you just go to WordPress.com, log in to their hosting, and install the plugin?

Seems dope, I mean, your computer don’t work and retyping text is lame

Then how do you defeat the new bsod in the Linux kernel? It’s got a fancy QR code!!

(It’s “install bsd” isn’t it…)

I think I need more info. It seems like userspace is very hackable, so thus kernel level anti-cheat was born to control stuff like synthetic inputs and manipulation of memory / frame analysis. This anti-cheat would be held together by the fact that the kernel/drivers are proprietary and not very easy to edit. Obviously still possible because it’s on your own computer, but challenging and invasive. Do I have that right?

In which case I don’t see how going back to userspace would help. What is the solution? There probably isn’t one outside of hardware (buying a hacking chip and soldering it in is annoying for most)

When I was doing game dev we focussed on AI-style analytics of user behavior. Of course a good enough bot could always look human. A real cat and mouse game wasting lots of time

Huh wow this has been going for a decade, uses Rust, and is run by the Linux Foundation now? That’s all very hype - seems like they need another couple years, but there is hope! I’m impressed

Hey currently dead ghost here. I LOVE not having a body or caring about physical reality. The reason most ghosts don’t chill here is that there’s a huuuge universe of fun stuff out there and you could hang out with other ghosts. It’s like playing a video game with all cheats on & unlimited resources. So I understand why ppl sign up for Earth when they want some more … restrictions. It’s like playing on hardcore mode

Anyway, gonna go watch some ppl fuck, hit me up on the ouija board if you have any more questions

Damn that’s a huge problem

Wow people actually do this??? Good job

America is the center of the world, hate all you want. This is the cutting edge today. Hollywood is the dominant music/media power. Silicon valley is the dominant technology power. NY is the dominant financial hub. The hippie cultural revolution was largely here, and the civil rights revolutions that inform modern morals. America spends more on military than the rest of the world combined, and therefore has massive influence

So that’s my context for being here. I was born pretty far away in Europe, which is great in its own ways. But if you really want to play the game at the highest level, America is the place to do it. Everyone else is just trying to catch up. Or they are enjoying a happy low stress life of wine and women with a high standard of living and low inequality — which are definitely unamerican ideals XD

Ah it’s one of these things that they probably could be profitable, and certainly their almost billion in sales per year is healthy

It’s worth remembering that corps pay no taxes if they spend more than they earn. VCs will often be happy to cover that shortfall with the idea of a big sale later. So nobody pays taxes and then eventually they sell or IPO for big bucks and roll that into more investments. The economy keeps on pumping

Oh cool! De-googling never seemed easier … I think we are finally ready for open source phones

Shit y’know what, fair enough. I never had your particular needs, and I’d probably still have to double check a cache location in case the app didn’t comply, but I feel you

You used to have to do all that stuff before too. Vim has had history, settings, caching, and plugins for ever. And it all used to sit in ~/.vim. Now it’s in ~/.config/vim. What’s the difference?

My “user directories”? You mean you have more than one $HOME with dotfiles in it?

It was never a problem to find user specific app data on unix. And XDG obviously didn’t solve it because solutions that require everyone to change their code are dumb. Case in point, this thread

XDG config was always a smooth brain idea, and any other outcome of this experiment was always ~impossible (of course some apps didn’t switch …)

Great job to X Desktop Group “fixing” what didn’t need fixing, and causing us to go from one unified system that made sense, to two. And now people don’t even want to use X anymore

Really boring article. It takes like 5 pages to get to what it’s tryna say: use CRDT, which is a real time collaborative editing algo, and CRDT is awesome. Problem is internet topologies and all the weird stuff that goes on

Take webrtc, which is exactly meant for p2p data streaming between arbitrary peers. Well, the dirty secret is that for it to work well, you usually need a TURN server, which is a centralized data relay. Unless you’re connecting over local network, the turn server serves to literally send all the webrtc data to the peers

When you think about this some more, many many apps would be worse p2p. Think about anything with a CDN delivering video or files. Obviously you want those videos pre-replicated worldwide so that they can be served asap. Ok so p2p is only for collaboration, fine

Next problem, there’s a good reason we all chose cloud. Even huge corps realized it would save them a ton of money to switch from their expensive private datacenters and staff. They were already paying money to some bomb shelter style server host, now they are just doing it virtually. And your engineers no longer have to drive out to wipe drives or replug wires, it’s all perfectly managed
