When YouTube removes the RSS/Atom feed I'm going to cry.
dannyfritz07··on Awesome repositories are no longer awesome
I maintain an awesome list, and I guess it just isn't popular enough to be barraged with low-quality PRs? I got a PR recently that I suspected was AI created, but it was just corrections and I verified all of the corrections to be... correct. So I merged it.

dannyfritz07··on Ask HN: What's your current AI agentic setup?
I use pi and bubblewrap (bwrap) to offer some sandboxing. I call it `pise` for "pi secure environment". - https://codeberg.org/dannyfritz/dotfiles/src/commit/f5d082d2...

Google Chrome launch comic for nostalgia: https://scottmccloud.com/googlechrome/

Also good context for why the launch of Chrome was such a big deal.

Can someone chime in with the credibility of this Twitter account? I can't find anything to cross collaborate it other than low quality hype induced news articles about the tweet itself.
dannyfritz07··on An update on residential proxies and the scraper situation
Yes, but the people with the RAM nowadays are the data centers, not the end users.

GrapheneOS allows you to deny network access per app pretty trivially. Google Play services make it a bit more difficult because the app might marshall the network request through that; I'm not sure how to verify that behavior when it happens.
dannyfritz07··on ReactOS (FOSS "Windows") achieves 3D-accelerated Half-Life on real hardware
A Linux Distro that comes with Wine and Application shortcuts could probably achieve this. Sounds really cool actually. Retro LAN Party Distro.

Bluetooth autoconnect configuration is a Wayland issue? I honestly would have never guessed. I always figured it was the responsibility of the DE or bluez service.
dannyfritz07··on Search engines alternatives now that Google isn't Google anymore
I think the endgame is you go to Google or your favorite subscription based LLM for knowledge instead of visiting websites. Ads can continue living within LLM search results and it can even become a marketplace where you order within the LLM environment.
dannyfritz07··on It is time to give up the dualism introduced by the debate on consciousness
You can affect your consciousness by hitting yourself in the head with a hammer. Pretty good argument for me to believe it is a physical phenomenon.

dannyfritz07··on Ghostty is leaving GitHub
I have trouble wrapping my head around how to make it so the public can create an issue in your git repo.
dannyfritz07··on Ghostty is leaving GitHub
I have had my eye on these technologies for a while. Embedding the issue tracker and such in your git repo. Every day these make more and more sense.

dannyfritz07··on Not buying another Kindle
I've been using my 2012 Paperwhite Kindle with Calibre and the experience is honestly great. The only thing I miss from the Amazon shut down is Wikipedia lookup and highlight/note syncing. Otherwise, I've steered clear of Amazon DRM for a long time so I didn't really care because I was already sideloading books with Calibre.

Upgraydd was also the guy's name in the present. He traveled to the future to be there with them.
dannyfritz07··on Gold overtakes U.S. Treasuries as the largest foreign reserve asset
I reject your definition of welfare. You're thinking far too narrowly about the benefit to society by taking care of your citizens' needs.
dannyfritz07··on LÖVE: 2D Game Framework for Lua
Who is "the author" these days? Is it Slime? I wonder what Rude and Bartbes and vrld are up to these days. Are releases still done on holidays? Are all libraries still named after sex themes? I was active for versions 0.4 - 0.6.
dannyfritz07··on Gold overtakes U.S. Treasuries as the largest foreign reserve asset
Why do laborers have to work for the right to live when capitalists only have to provide capital and are always assumed to be worthy? Capital and labor is combined to produce new capital. Yet we only expect labor to prove their worth. We're always holding labor's feet to the fire and killing them through policy that allows their poverty by assuming they are lazy.

There is basically zero consequence for capitalists when they decide to withhold capital from laborers. Therefore taking away labor's ability to generate new capital. They took down the entire rust belt by doing this. Why shouldn't we hold them accountable? Why does everyone blame labor and say welfare is only for people in poverty?

dannyfritz07··on Gold overtakes U.S. Treasuries as the largest foreign reserve asset
He ran a surplus by (In Bill Clinton's own words) "ending welfare as we know it". This was his description of the Personal Responsibility Act he signed. That attack on labor and bolstering of the financial markets was a huge contributor to our economic disasters. Keynesian was never meant to be a permanent solution to a growing capitalism system. And the Hayekian system we have now is just pillaging by neoliberals.
dannyfritz07··on Cloudflare flags archive.today as "C&C/Botnet"; no longer resolves via 1.1.1.2
I'll throw https://nextdns.io into the mix. Been very happy with it. Supports DOH, block lists, among a plethora of other features.
dannyfritz07··on Node.js needs a virtual file system
Am I reading this right that Matteo is saying providence is not important because there are lots of historical cases of not having providence of code?

Hey. That's curiously similar to my instructions. Weird!
