Send files between two devices using nothing but a screen and a camera in c/opensource@programming.dev
Signal is working on registration without a phone number. But what form will it take? in c/privacy@programming.dev
[–] refalo@programming.dev 9 points 3 days ago

I would guess the sudden influx of massive amounts of traffic would force them to charge for the service, and they don't want to do that. Requiring a phone number, while invasive to some, does cut down on a tremendous amount of automated/bot/spam traffic.

Xfce dev sponsored by Xfce project to create Wayland compositor admits to using Claude LLM/AI for development, dismisses ethical concerns in c/linux@programming.dev

actively destroys our environment, makes every computiational device more expensive, literally makes it’s users dumber, and is built with very ethically questionable methods

you mean like the metals mined by children and forced labor that's in every electronic device and battery on the planet? so you're talking to us from a cup and string in the woods then, right?

Use of literally any electronic or battery-operated device on the planet uses metals sourced from child and/or forced labor somewhere in the world. Unless you're prepared to move off the grid and live in the woods, these type of arguments at higher levels are endlessly pointless IMO.

Why do some C devs prefer using mainly C89 over C23? in c/c_lang@programming.dev
[–] refalo@programming.dev 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The main reason I stick to it is that I target platforms that normally don't have anything else. Also the rules are easier to understand.

How can I change the voice of a person in a recorded audio clip with local-only AI? in c/Aii@programming.dev
[–] refalo@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago

combine whisper speech-to-text with any one of the numerous local text-to-speech solutions like picotts, piper, kitten, pocket-tts, outetts etc.

All Cars Sold in the EU Now Require a Camera Aimed at Your Face. It’s Still Not Clear Where That Data Goes in c/privacy@programming.dev

Just because the baseline has shifted doesn’t mean the change never happened

There can and will be change, sure, but my point was that OP's "smalls steps towards something much worse" typically never happens because of the shift.

Freenet - Services Without Servers in c/privacy@programming.dev

I definitely stay far away from either freenet as they have a huge CSAM problem.

Wait until the cotton gin arrives, all the hand weavers will become jobless and no one will have experience anymore.

Wait until the printing press arrives, all the scribe monks will become jobless and no one will have experience anymore.

Wait until the computer arrives, people will become obsolete and no one will have experience anymore.

Wait until the steam engine, automobiles, planes, calculators, telephones, bla bla

"Slippery slope" arguments like these assume that once a technology introduces a specific risk, society lacks the agency to create counter-measures, new norms, or alternative uses for that technology.

History shows that when a "slope" appears, regulation steps in, technology evolves to solve the problem, or the culture shifts to reinterpret the tool.

In almost every case, the feared "bottom" of the slope was never reached because humans constantly built ramps or bridges along the way.

Why does Matrix give servers the option to prevent disabling read receipts and why does the official matrix server do it? in c/matrix@programming.dev
[–] refalo@programming.dev 1 points 1 week ago

Basically the only thing actually encrypted in matrix e2e are the message contents itself. All other possible types of associated metadata, aren't.

ICPP – Running C++ in anywhere like a script (github.com)
 

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

403 on API endpoints (lemmy.readme.io)
 

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"}'

Some comments not appearing? (programming.dev)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by refalo@programming.dev to c/meta@programming.dev
7 comments fedilink
 

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.

Is there a way to view the frontpage of another server, or get an RSS feed of another server's single community? (programming.dev)
 

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?
