acct776··on Google Play bans open-source Matrix client Element, citing “abusive content”
If we used company's webapps, or our own local webapps or selfhosted webapps, everyone wouldn't need the app stores...

They could use GrapheneOS, and be safer.

acct776··on Google reinstates Element after an appeal
Probably was an automated ban...this is a goofy take.

LA Times' integrity makes them look like a joke.

Why was redis_mlc's comment killed?

Any explanation appreciated.

acct776··on Why GNU/Linux Viruses are fairly uncommon (2005)
Because there's less soft targets of mainstream wealth on Linux desktop...

...and the 0 days are saved for valuable servers and embedded devices

acct776··on GitHub Should Start an App Store
In contrast, I was surprised with how "quickly" it was resolved, compared to my expectation.

MS is beholden to US.gov through contract cash and unspoken agreements - those ties are lessening, but are still pretty deep.

acct776··on GitHub Should Start an App Store
There's pushback on another app store from Microsoft because nobody wants more walled gardens.

The pendulum has shifted, and it's swinging towards PWA.

Per Microsoft, Outlook is now a progressive web app.

App stores are dying - they're just going to take a bit to timeout.

acct776··on Discord bans r/WallStreetBets server, subreddit went private for a while
> "We're suffering from success and our Discord was the first casualty. You know as well as I do that if you gather 250k people in one spot someone is going to say something that makes you look bad. That room was golden and the people that run it are awesome. We blocked all bad words with a bot, which should be enough, but apparently if someone can say a bad word with weird unicode icelandic characters and someone can screenshot it you don't get to hang out with your friends anymore. Discord did us dirty and I am not impressed with them destroying our community"
acct776··on Where do we go from here and who is going to step up to help us?
That's your opinion.

The racists et al will find another room, another platform.

IRC/Usenet groups, meshnets, bathroom walls, it doesn't matter: if people have ideas, they will express them, unless Totalitarianism.

Best to refute, even if it doesn't scale.

acct776··on Long-term study reveals harm in regular cannabis use
This is a VERY important topic of research that many users aren't aware of. Legalize for more research and better harnessing of this drug.

Many strains of Cannabis inhibit REM sleep.

Some do not, for some physiologies.

Blue Dream does not block my REM.

Interestingly, a small amount (2 shots or less) of alcohol will accelerate REM.

The horror.

Prototype and expensive motorcycles are self-balancing now.

etc

The tech always seems to come.

acct776··on MkLinux
> I guess they want you to run Golang servers behind nginx or expensive Google Cloud load balancers, probably on Kubernetes.

If you're using shared hosting, or your data has any value, why would you use anything besides a reverse proxy/Wireguard to access your hosted application server?
