Every sale to every individual buyer requires separate handwritten notice, each individually attached to a copy of the privacy policy and the data sold, notarized and sent by certified mail in triplicate, with postage paid by the sender. Make it cost so much that the entire industry becomes obsolete.
“We successfully competed against piracy and drove it to near-extinction, but now that we’re enshittified we can’t compete with piracy while continuing to make the obscene amounts of money that we want to make”
Discord uses a subset of Markdown for message formatting, so they’ll be writing it regardless
Google owns Widevine, they would be paying a fee to themselves
Nix only stores each version of a package once, environments work by setting environment variables and such to control which packages are visible
You don’t need to abandon your distro’s package manager to use Nix, so you can adopt it as much or as little as you like.
Got rid of all of my centralized social media accounts apart from YouTube, moved from Proton to Migadu on my own domain (unlimited aliases! when signing up for a service I can just make up a new username and it gets organized into a folder in my inbox!), and moved my homelab and laptop to NixOS
Personally I would rather they had to make phones a little thicker again to include a properly sealed battery compartment, the new ones look very nice but it’s too hard to get a decent grip without accidentally bumping the edge of the screen.
Maybe the whole back side of the phone is the battery, and the two sides are independently watertight? The charger port and usb controller could be on the battery too, that way you can replace it if it breaks or you want to be compatible with a new fast charging specification, and you could charge it independently if you have more than one.
i thought it was neat how php lets you write your website’s logic with the same directory tree pattern that clients consume it from, but i didn’t want to learn php so i made my own, worse version
my website’s backend is made with bash, it calls make for every request and it probably has hundreds of remote arbitrary code execution bugs that will get me pwned someday, it’s great
edit: to clarify, it uses a rust program i made to expose the bash scripts as http endpoints, i’m not crazy enough to implement http in bash
it behaves like a static file server, but if a file has the others-execute permission bit set it executes the file instead of reading it
it’s surprisingly nice for prototyping since you can just write a cli program and it’s automatically available over http too
the only good part of the last one was the mac-'n-cheese-induced divorce flashback, somehow that doesn’t give me hope for the future of the series

the last game I played was Duskers, so I’m probably either immediately dying in the vacuum of space or trapped in a derelict space station without any power.
if they sold DVDs of Netflix’s shows that would actually be pretty nice, but I doubt they would be OK with allowing anyone to actually own their media.
I know that Calckey and its descendants support it since I verified my account on a Calckey instance, and Akkoma mentions it in this blog post.
Every good result they serve you could have been an ad, so they’re incentivised to replace as many with ads as possible.
It could, so while you’re using it you should make sure you don’t have anything sensitive onscreen.
If your desktop supports Wayland at all, you could switch to it while using Zoom, even if other things don’t work as well, then switch back when you aren’t.
If you’re using X, it would be able to read your inputs for other applications and such, but if you don’t do anything sensitive while it’s running it still won’t be able to do anything.
If you put zoom in a flatpak and tighten its permissions, it won’t be able to touch the rest of your system
GIMP would be infinitely better if they just changed the name so we could talk about it around normal people without getting dirty looks
