why now all of a sudden

It’s not new though, it has been happening for years. Selection bias might be skewing your view.

Attention and recognition.

Reminder that sites like israel.tv are still “illegal” to visit and all US ISPs are forced to block it, even though this directly contradicts Net Neutrality.

Imagine not developing a controversial emulator anonymously…

You know ratings are inherently subjective right?

I’ve hated every cartoony zelda ever made. I will die playing LttP over and over again.

that is typically how boycotts work yes.

Nestle isn’t poisoning their bottled water but some people still refuse to buy it.

Bus 001 Device 059: ID 05ba:000a DigitalPersona, Inc. Fingerprint Reader

It shows up exactly the same for all the revisions though.

Thankfully the Framework Laptop fingerprint reader works.

I use the DigitalPersona 4500 with libfprint. Unfortunately, there are multiple revisions of the device with the same model number and only some of them work properly under Linux (different encryption method I believe). As far as I know this is not actually documented anywhere. Googling just shows a bunch of unresolved bug reports of people having no idea why it doesn’t work.

For windows I either use a mingw toolchain from mxe.cc or just run the msvc compiler in wine, works great for standard C and C++ at least, even when you use Qt or other third party libraries.

I can see how there might be usecases for stuff like this in big enterprise developments that change their design often and/or have lots of different departments of people working on the site, but in all the webdev I have ever done myself in my almost 30 years of work in it, I have never had any need for more than hand-written html, css and javascript. That and simple template systems like django/jinja have worked quite well for me and always perform far better than these big frameworks.

We can see you totally didn’t do that. Also how would you even get the update?

Open Technology Fund

Which is funded by US Congress, and they also funded Signal.

For those do not wish to use privacy-related projects funded by a world government, what is a good (in your opinion) alternative? Both with and without Tor involvement (since US govt funded that too).

Yes I realize encryption, computers and the internet are all also govt-funded, but everyone is free to pick their battles.

For good privacy (from fingerprinting) it is undoubtedly a bad choice.

I’m really surprised servers have not started by default limiting and/or vetting who can federate with them. I know many Lemmy instances block many other instances from federating with them, but only after learning about what a lot of their content is. To me this practice kinda creates a very fragmented “which wind would you like to piss into” problem.

People don’t know about what they don’t hear about

Some people take the initiative to learn things on their own though. I suppose we’re not their target audience however.

It was already on github 10 months and 3 months ago.

It’s also possible the number of people who like it do not outnumber the people who don’t like it
