I disabled shorts everywhere. Before I saw your post, I couldn’t even recall YouTube having shorts.

Also, Google tracks your everything, not just your YouTube history. You likely use Google Search a lot for adult content. Even a VPN and browsing on incognito mode might not save you. They have lots of ways track you.

Thanks for note. Do they currently have that backend?

That aside, you might want to try Nim. It’s pretty cool. It can compile to C and C++, and JS. There have been browser extensions made with it. Heck, it even has an LLVM backend. And the C code it generates it pretty fast on benchmarks. It’s filled with tons of metaprogramming stuff and AST-level macros. And it has this cool thing where it can ignore name casing of identifiers like variables and functions; so isSome == is_some.

I will try porting this project to Haskell and Coconut later. I am currently doing a rewrite of this in Nim.

They said competition, not alternatives. As things are right now, and knowing people, not just trying to make a technical point, Firefox is the only competition.

Oh yeah, I had given that a try, but the installation was too huge. It took like 2 GB. The dependecies were huge as well. But maybe it’d be less on Ubuntu. I will give it a shot again. I heard that language doesn’t have loops; I guess you’ve got to be good with recursion to get good at it lol.

Or maybe people rely on map like function of Python.

Hi, I spent some time trying out the dictd package. I also read this protocol’s specification. As things are right now, each host-name would require its own parser, because I couldn’t notice a very similar pattern between them. Webster, Jargon, wn, all these have their own standardization for including synonyms and examples.

The specification doesn’t enforce any pattern on the definitions either. I don’t think it’s going to be very useful even if I do implement it because the parsers are going to be quite complicated.

Ah that. That shouldn’t be a lot of work as all the visual stuff are done by separate functions. I can do it. I will look into it.

My OOP experience isn’t from Java, but I get your point. I don’t really have a dislike for OO; it sure does have its applications. I once met a dude who was trying to use an object oriented library in a functional way; the result of that was a mess full of complications. I feel a good balance is necessary.

You mean, like, support for the dict protocol for this program’s interface? I am also scraping a dictionary’s data, so I am a little confused.

not a fan of that font, but cool setup

“send a patch via mail” process.

I don’t see a problem with it. I don’t know what tools you use, but the current process certainly isn’t ancient. Even if I use GitHub or something else, I still highly depend on my e-mail to actually know somebody published a patch and if I am supposed to review it. I don’t have to use a GUI coupled with shitty UI decisions. E-mails are very simple in their own way and I don’t find it ancient or bad.

Hi from feddit.nl 🙌!

Hello, I want you to know that Linux Mint has some issues:

• Their site was hacked twice and a malware-infected ISO was being distributed.
• They have a mixture of repositories where they get certain crucial things from Ubuntu’s repositories; this can cause trouble.

That being said, you may want to give Ubuntu officials a try instead.

It can’t be as efficient as native apps. So no, I am against it being a standard. I don’t want unnecessarily resource hungry things.

Apple and Google can maybe instead collaborate together for a protocol for Android and iPhone to ease the process of multi-platform apps.

Manjaro Linux is Arch Linux based. Manjaro and Arch relation is like Ubuntu and Debian relation.

Manjaro has its own set of issues that you may want to stay away from.

Edit: Ignore this comment, the image was loaded late. I thought it was a genuine question.

These twitter losers are annoying. Someone tell Elon to fix his damn platform.

There is an open issue on GitHub for this. You can try raising your voice there in hope of some update.

Zuckerberg can be an moron from a privacy perspective, but he sure does seem to respect stability.

Just so you know, there is a desktop client of Signal for all major systems:

I haven’t used Skype, but depending on use case, Signal might work.
