and yet you live in a society!

well Instagram is serious about ratelimits

I have never heard anyone refer to TV as social media, I have always heard it in context with facebook, twitter and co.

a better objection, which makes me uncertain whether lemmy is social media, is that this is a pseudonymous forum where its not common for users to become friends or know each other, and discussion is not around a specific news site or a specific person, but around specific topics

their leaders need to be put into the trash compactor for once, where they belong.

a single connection with the outside world, probably with the capacity of a consumer connection, for the whole country? that’s too little even for just a single city. no one would be able to use it without some kind of time sharing or other access control

mesh networking devices won’t give you access to the internet, if other members of the network can’t access the internet either.

its not because they are adamant about OSS, but because the H.264 and H.265 codecs have software patents that require distributors paying a license fee. the situation is a bit unclear, that’s why some distros choose to distribute these drivers. Besides fedora, opensuse and others too do not distribute these drivers.

but flatpak versions of software will get downloaded along with these drivers, and that will work on any distro, because flathub decided they can distribute these drivers. bit of a courageous move, but I guess they know what they are doing.

and that’s why I’m holding my face when people say ublock lite on chrome is just as good… no, it fucking isn’t. not because of gimmicks like this but because it does many things to protect your privacy which you don’t see.

that’s a link for chrome. 4 upvotes…

he stepped down a while ago

except that the new subscription costs more, and has AI features. now the line did go up, and investors can be told that people want AI

not all. make it so that it can still be worse for them if the need arises. useful for negotiations

they aren’t. one of them is an AP from another phone, so I believe that one couldn’t even be configured as hidden by accident, because the phone does not offer it. another is one I sometimes use, and it’s not hidden either.

almost worthless. I just learned that the android 13 xiaomi phone of a family member broadcasts some of the wifi AP names it knows when scanning for available networks! constantly! why the fuck it does I don’t know because neither are hidden networks that would need this, and there’s no setting for it

Full thoughts on my TT

holy shit I did not expect it to go that low

I kind of understand what’s the use of BGP, but the article was lacking too many details even for me. cloudflare has a better article, their conclusion is that this was probably an accident and not an attack, because the leaked routes were so low priority that it couldn’t cayse traffic to be rerouted.
they didn’t say but I think perhaps what it could have done is overload the venezuelan state ISP with traffic they shouldn’t handle, but I don’t know for sure

4 GB is not enough for web browsing

well there’s a firmware selector page, wherr you can request additional packages. maybe it can also be used for removing some?

but if you build it yourself you can do any changes you want, too

Don’t expect good Wi-Fi if you went with devboards like OpenWrt One.

why is that?
