Tor VPN can be downloaded and installed from the Google Play Store.

Cannot be trusted IMO... all play store apps are signed by google (they actually hold your signing keys now) and contain proprietary blobs.

Android Tablets and Chromebooks are not supported.

Why not tablets?

I disagree... I think that's like saying "people are ok with having a license to drive, they won't mind showing it every time they get behind the wheel."

As far as I can tell from reading the text of the bill, this doesn't actually require anyone to realistically verify anyone's age... it just requires "account holders" (adults) at account creation time to provide a (any) birthdate for the purposes of categorizing their access by age bracket. It doesn't say anything about the information having to be accurate, and gives no penalties for such.

It applies not just to Internet sites but any software application, including operating systems. And strangely it also designates any "person that owns, maintains, or controls an application" as a "Developer".

Nothing, but it won't work forever as more and more sites start to use it, eventually (if they keep blocking it for years) their users will keep complaining and/or just leave if they cannot access the sites they want.

We have tried to make Rayhunter as easy as possible to install and use, regardless of your level of technical knowledge

we do not support Windows

I just use FoxyProxy, which lets you use wildcard/regex rules to send different sites to different proxies (or none at all).

On firefox at least, you can also manually set a specific tab to use a different proxy.

Open source is the very worst thing currently going on because it is so incredibly exploitative, it's far more exploitative than any actual company is of the workers who work at the company.

Even the people who are getting paid in open source are getting massively underpaid to do it compared to how much the people who are using their code are making, it's nothing compared to the power that is accreted by the people who have co-opted that work thanks to the open source model. And then mark zuckerberg gets to define how the internet works despite having paid for almost none of the software that his company actually needed to make that work.

It's like feudalism or serfdom, these people did the work and got nothing for it. It's like you took the worst aspects of capitalism for workers and the worst aspects of socialism for workers and put them together, that's open source. You get no power and you get no money.

It's exploitative whether the people chose to be exploited, just because someone chooses to let you exploit them does not meant that you didn't exploit them. And for the record that's how most exploitation works; convincing people to do something that turns out to be very bad for them and very good for you, and that's exactly what the open source movement has turned out to be.

I really don't see the "we post stuff on github under a gpl2 or lgpl or apache or mit license", all that is to me now is just exploitation. You can say that there's solutions but until someone demonstrates that those solutions work, it's the standard "real communism has never been tried" argument. AGPL is the only thing that I've seen so far that's an attempt to fix these fundamentally unfair compensation practices.

when is it not real hardware?

 

Interpreting C++, executing the source and executable like a script.

  • Writing powerful script using C++ just as easy as Python;
  • Writing hot-loading C++ script code in running process;
  • Based on Unicorn Engine qemu virtual cpu and Clang/LLVM C++ compiler;
  • Integrated internally with Standard C++23 and Boost libraries;
  • To reuse the existing C/C++ library as an icpp module extension is extremely simple.

There is also a Qt helper module: https://github.com/vpand/icpp-qt

 

Tried to use several different API endpoints as described in the link, but they all return 403 with a cloudflare "Just a moment..." html reply. Even tried copying an existing jwt token from a working logged-in browser but the same thing still happens.

Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

curl -v --request POST \
     --url https://programming.dev/api/v3/user/login \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
     --data '{"username_or_email": "redacted", "password": "redacted"}'
...
< HTTP/2 403

I am noticing that some comments, which are coming from users on other verified (via /instances) federated instances, do not show up on a post. For example: https://programming.dev/post/13648105

Does not show this comment on it: https://lemmy.ml/comment/10803786

Any ideas why? I checked the modlog and the comment wasn't removed, and their post history to me does not look like someone that is likely to be banned from the instance, so I'm not sure what else it could be.

 

My lemmy account is on the programming.dev instance but I use newsboat for RSS reading of some lemmy.ml communities, along with browsing the local homepage of lemmy.ml and some other instances in a regular browser. Is there a way to do either of these things from the programming.dev instance so that I can easily comment on posts without having to manually locate the same post by browsing to /c/foo@lemmy.ml on my own instance?
