He did tho. I don't know where and why you've pulled these quotes from, when the original message is available publicaly, and where it's very clear whom exactly he accused.
As someone who picked up an eFat last summer, I really regret not going for moped or shelling out for eMoto like surron.
The main thing that bother me is that I thought bicycle parts would be largely commodified and interchangeable, but what I've met instead was a lot of gatekeeping and ridiculously overpriced parts. For example, rear suspension is still somehow a luxury on bicycles while being an essential piece on pretty much every motor vehicle and even modern electric scooters and EUC's out there.
Another is that all that extra weight makes it a terrible as a bicycle, to the point I don't really want to pedal like ever.
This combined makes the pro of being able to ride the sidewalks pointless - I'd be much better off driving the road.
But then, from a motorcycle perspective, I got a fraction of range and speed for the same price, for the pro of being able to store it in my apartment... But I kind of have to, because unlike motorcycle, there's no alarm, no ignition key, zero security features, and the battery dies in the cold so I can't even keep it in my garage.
There is another pro that I don't need a driving license... well, technically I do because the power rating falls into moped range, but nobody ever checks that, so people commonly get away with 5kV+ eMoto's and supercharged mopeds just as well.
You can give waterfox a shot. It's back to being independent and is stable now, has long track record, unlimited extensions, unlocked about:config and isn't affected by mozilla's bulshit.
How relevant is this to modern Physics?
As far as I know, modern math is mostly dealing with set theory and some imaginary 17D pringles in empty space, while modern physics is dealing with some imaginary 17D pringles in... uh...
Well, to put it this way, if decent writing is a prerequisite for doing math, does that mean that all math is essentially just applied poetry?
That is one colossal fuckup. I'm wondering how that even happened. I can understand how a bunch of bozos blew up MH17 after being given AA weapons. I can even understand Prigozhin "blowing up his own grenade on his private jet". But this? Had to be actually competent military crew firing at a civilian aircraft, coming from a friendly country, that was scheduled to arrive at local airport, with transponder and all... like, wtf?
I know this isn't much, but, on behalf of Russians, my apologies and condolences for those who perished on this flight.
One thing I found the hard way is that majority of backends for imagick, the suite that powers almost every file conversion and manipulation you see on the internet, are maintained by, at most, one person, if not abandoned completely. I'd say that'd be a good one to donate to, and from which most people would benefit from.
People can get used to weirdest stuff. Like my former coworker who uses mouse upside down, like, fingertip grip on the buttons and cord under palm. Said he used to love playing aerial combat simulators, but couldn't get used to inverted controls, so he just flipped the mouse and learned to use it inverted for everything else. Havent played videogames in decades but it's still stuck to him. The only problem is that he was a CEO at tech company, but from a passerby perspective it always looked like it's his first time using a PC.
Wasn't even public, most of those events were private, behind close doors, with entrance by invites only. That's the biggest hipocrisy of propagandists and lawmakers, they kept saying "we dont care if you're gay or lesbian as long as you dont flaunt it, we dont opress minorities, were just protecting the kids", and then they break into closed clubs and apartments anyway, just to make a show out of it.
As long as it goes right from my house directly to where I need to go, take me and whomever I need exclusively, and also optionally be my own little space I could customize to my taste, then hell yeah, I'd take the tram.
But at this scale rails seem to be inefficient. PRT is where it's really at.
I hate this shit being routinely used in PHP. Symfony uses those functional comments for routing, essentially scanning every controller file as text on every visit, to gather the url patterns above functions. Laravel uses Reflection, which is functionally the same thing, to provide arguments to controller functions. Also, kind of related, the project I'm working now has few functions that use backtrace to return different results based on where they are called from. It is indeed very cursed and I'm ripping out any usages of them whenever I see one.
Definitely, yes. Win8 was unusable on desktops but was pretty good on tablets, win10 sucks on both. But the main thing is that spyware/bloatware explosion happened in win10. Xbox services, onedrive, cortana, that weather thing with msn news, fucking candy crush preinstalls, etc, all came with win10.
Gotta say, the original Newton logo would've looked sick if engraved on the back of a product. Too bad nobody has ever done it.
Yeah. It's kind of like being an actor vs just enjoying watching movies.
Watch porn, or make porn? I know a few friends who would find latter attractive. Not so much the former.
I did exactly that many years ago. Ditched my phone and went with x86 UMPC with builtin 3G modem, the name of which I don't remember because it was some random Chinese no-name. Unfortunately that experiment coincided with the era of "fuck websites, we're going app-only because we're so hip". I was in a world of pain right off the bat when I got a carrier plan, specifically marketed for usage on PC's, and it did not work. I called them and they said to me:
- Do you have Android or iOS?
- I only have Windows
- Windows phone?
- No, Windows 8...
- Well, you'll have to use the app to activate the SIM card...
Turns out, the usage on PC's meant tethering...
Lots of online things, if they were even available as websites, were highly cut down versions of apps. And SMS 2FA, goddamn. I remember not being able to buy booze and shoes because, apparently, phone confirmations were required in those establishments. Good thing they're fading out in favor of TOTP and passkeys. But, at a time, I had to swtich to a carrier that allowed me to use "corporate" features like SMS forwarding and SIP telephony. Also, fuck WhatsApp, that shit can burn in all fires of hell.
On the other hand, I really miss that time. It was liberating, just not having like, a few dozen malwares in my pocket tracking me down just to track someone's dog, or a bus, or to spy on someone's buying preferences or whatever. But things have gotten quite a bet better over the years, so I'm kind of inclined to repeat the experiment with my new-ish OM3S which I carry because I still cannot imagine going out without a proper PC on me (don't buy it, though, it is severely underpowered, better get something GPD instead).
In the HN page you linked many people mentioned v2ray. Have you tried that? How good is it?
Nope, haven't actually read the comments, just sent the article as reference to the issue. It does indeed sound quite promising. Think it'd be nice to have even if as just a fallback, so I'll try that too, whenever I get a moment.
Yep. That's the number one contender. Well right after overriding default DERP's with my own VPS machines. I'll definitely try it out over some weekend.
One of my other concerns with this and other solutions suggested is the reliance on wireguard which can be subject to fingerprinting and censorship. Do you happen to know if it'd be possible to swap out Headscale's implementation of wireguard to amnezia? I'll have to do my homework anyway, but who knows, maybe there are some pitfalls to avoid.
Tailscale... is not that good. The underlying wireguard is robust, but tailscale control plane is completely proprietary, as well as their DERP servers that it too often uses completely needlessly. They can also block you off from downloading it, updating, or logging in, if you happen to be in a wrong country.
I'm myself looking for an alternative to it, but having trouble finding something I could share with non tech savvy friends while not being as complex on my end as, say, open/strongswan ais. Any suggestions welcome.
YOOUUGH!!!
