@requiem when i tried it years ago it was a bloated electron app that took like an hour to start up. not an exaggeration. it was doing some kinda indexing i think.

i think a video distribution platform should look something like PeerTube + SecSB. efficient distribution with no regard to IP law, because IP law sucks and does not deserve the electricity and computational power wasted on it, but backed by something more decentralized than DNS for identifying content.
would be cool to see this done with NDN too.

but also, i never dug very deeply into LBRY and it's been a few years since i tried it, so hopefully they have improved since then.

#gamedev project idea:
finding some open sourced games that lack #accessibility features and adding them.

guess who has to study modem codes, because companies can't be arsed to follow standards

why don't more projects do this?

or, yknow, just move away from GitHub...

#Yggdrasil protip:
maybe check that your SSH authentication is secure before letting your computer be accessed by any rando.

@lightweight @The10wins
Here is another problem with #Apple:

They claim to be very eco-friendly, right?

Are they eco-friendly enough to tell you to buy less of their stuff? What message do their ads send? Do they discourage you from switching phones just because you want to be trendy?

Ponder on that for a while.

hhh.. why doesn't every language have pattern matching and ADTs...

wow. i really hate bloated closed source web apps holding my data hostage.

@natecull kinda fucked up that this is what some people recommend as the browser to be trusted

Put Alt Text On Your Dang Images

regular reminder (especially to #Electron fans) that not caring about your code's performance means that you are excluding poor people from using it

#programming

#linux tip that experienced users probably know but is very handy and bears repeating:

if you want to share a folder read-only without the hassle of setting up samba or ftp, you can do the following:

$ # install python 3.x if it's not installed
$ cd $folder_to_share
$ python -m http.server

and you can open it in a browser on (substitute ip of machine) http://1.2.3.4:8000

it's not very secure though so don't do this on the internet
