Tldr:
In the article there is a graph with more of the highest base salaries in other categories but they mostly hover at 300k
The way I learned was by setting up Minecraft or GMOD servers for me and my friends. I would say this is a very good way to learn the basics since it is a project with a concrete end product.
I also played a LOT of Minecraft, which has commands to “cheat” with the game, like setting the time of day or giving yourself items. That also helped me massively understand the way commands and arguments work.
Anything that can hurt Nvidia without killing them (layoffs) is good
For those who don’t know, beeper is a service to have all your inboxes in one app that relies on Matrix bridges
I won’t even respond to that, I see this as a way of getting attention and as a way of stirring shit. Bye.
I don’t get why people in the linux space are so allergic to change
But… X is outdated, X is basically unmaintained and X is less secure than Wayland
Whenever it’s getting to about 30%. I also use slow charging, and since most of the time I am near a charger, it’s never a problem. I often wake up with my phone at 35%, I plug it in before going and most of the time when I go I am at 70%.
I love how fast all those sites load
This image better be made in GIMP
Honestly, if I have the choice, I will choose Google to keep my data over Facebook/meta. While they will do the same stuff with it, at least they give me good products in exchange for my personal life. I also think Google is more transparent about how they collect their data and they let you pretty easily opt out of most of the very intrusive stuff. I also trust their security a whole lot more than Meta’s as they are pretty innovative in that space (like with webauthn)
This is the same thing as people being against big companies contributing to open source software, like the Linux kernel. Like… Most contributions that make it usable today are thanks to huge corporations such as Intel or Google, and guess what? Linux is more popular and usable than ever!
Before I read: I am guessing this is about how meta will absolutely kill the fediverse and that nobody will be using it after they federate on activitypub. Will edit after I read
edit: yup lol, just bad. It assumes XMPP was killed by Google when in fact it is not and still alive. The main big clients still get updates and the main Android client should even get a Material 3 redesign this year! The big Linux client Dino has got a Libadwaita update! But XMPP is dead you tell me. Oh well… Plus in this context, Meta can’t really kill the fediverse since 1. it will just end up exactly in the state we are in today and 2. I like the point Mastodon made, the fediverse already has a almost semi-mainstream brand: Mastodon. That alone could very well save it.
In the post it talks about the Fediverse winning. Yeah sure, blocking 99% of the users of the fediverse is winning. An anti-social social media. Talk about an attractive for the mainstream people, that will surely NOT push them to centralized platforms like Threads… Plus I am 99% convinced that Threads being federated is just because of the EU laws forcing interoperability between services, so they can say they support open protocols for communication.
They already won this lawsuit but the court decided it has to allow apps to use 3rd party payment processors because it is anti competitive and it gives them an unfair advantage (see apple music vs spotify, apple music can be 30% cheaper while making the same amount of money)
If you want to browse the internet privately/anonymously, then use Tor (but please do not download big files using Tor! It has limited bandwidth and people in countries where thye have heavy censorship rely on Tor to communicate). If you want to hide your activity from your ISP and torrent stuff, then VPNs are absolutely still the way to go. Just make sure you use a reputable one like Mullvad or ProtonVPN
I don’t care about the 15 or 30% cut they take, that’s pretty standard in retail and other software stores. What I do care about though is the fact that my freedom to install whatever I like on my phone is non existent on iOS. When I will be able to install Revanced and F-Droid equivalents on iOS I may consider it, but until that happens, it’s an absolute no from me
