Wouldn’t work. If there’s so many diamonds, they’d just kind of lose their value. Also, who are you gonna sell them to, if everyone has them?

Although it could kind of be a new currency that excludes the rich, making their wealth at least a little useless.

I fully agree on the premise, but I think it needs refining.

I am aware of the complexity of a modern browser. Still, 80+ megabytes for a simple browser like Focus seems excessive. Especially when the Bromite-based /e/OS browser can provide more functionality for an eighth of the size

illectrility, (edited )
@illectrility@lemmy.world avatar

It does pretty much everything a browser like Firefox, Focus, Mull, etc would do so I think it’s fair to call it a browser.

Also, the Android System WebView package is not installed on /e/OS

Edit: Yeah, never mind all that. The browser’s size isn’t shown correctly and some kind of WebView is installed so it may use that. The repo is about 70MB which makes far more sense.

Yeah, of course a lot is cached and stored in user data but I don’t get why the app itself has to be so big. It’s not significantly faster.

Edit: Never mind all that, I edited the post, the app size wasn’t correctly shown.

illectrility,
@illectrility@lemmy.world avatar

It shows up as an installable app. Although, I just checked the repo of the /e/ browser and it is probably bigger than it appears to be in App Info. I’ll edit the post rq

Thanks for the tip, I like the UI

illectrility,
@illectrility@lemmy.world avatar

I understand, my confusion was caused by the misleading app size shown in App Info. It’s actually like 70MB so my question is dumb. I’m sorry for wasting your time

I’m glad to hear that, I had fun, too. Thank you for your time and have an amazing day, kind stranger

You’re absolutely right, I see it now, too. Thanks!

165??? That’s insane, you may be better off with KeePassDX. It combines password managing and TOTP

Wait what? They force you to use their authenticator? How, when, what?

illectrility,
@illectrility@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, using Firefox is a real hassle compared to Edge or Chrome. It’s really only worth it if you’re hardcorde into privacy but barely usable for your average Joe /s

illectrility,
@illectrility@lemmy.world avatar

Exactly! Chrome is just so much easier to install. All you have to do is go to www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/, click the big download button and install it. So much easier!

Yeah, Darktable is more of a Lightroom replacement

Is it worth it using Rust+Axum for backend instead of Node.js? In which situations would you do so?

In practical perspectives, I’m mostly concerned about computer resources usage; I have computer resources constraints. So using Rust would benefit on that. But it is for a Web application backend. So, is it worth it having to learn Rust + Tokio + Axum, … in this specific situation? Also, that this is mostly for initially...

illectrility,
@illectrility@lemmy.world avatar

Learning Rust is probably always worth it. It’s more efficient, lasts longer and is safer, I would try it

Try The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. It’s pretty cool and has some very complex sentences

OpenOffice

I know, that’s why I use LibreOffice. OnlyOffice OpenOffice was the only thing I could think of

I don’t think anyone should use it, no. It is technically an option, though

He’s the kind of guy that looks at a Fairphone and says “if you compare this to a Pixel, the Pixel is faster”, talks about how important repairability and sustainability is, vows to mention it in future phone reviews and then proceeds to never mention it ever again but instead keeps on saying how great the new iPhone is.

First of all, if you want to get into Linux, DO IT! It’s truly awesome, I love it. Just get Mint, throw a Windows skin over it and nobody will notice, trust me. Honestly, it’s incredibly rewarding.

When it comes to browsers, I now have the best setup I could think of: LibreWolf. It’s a hardened version of Firefox. It doesn’t use TOR and all websites are accesible. I use Startpage as a search engine. Granted, it can be a bit slow but it gets great results and there is a button that lets you open websites via a Startpage proxy. LibreWolf by default erases all browser data on exit so for logins I use KeePassXC password manager. It has an awesome addon which automatically fills in login fields, it can do TOTP and autofill that, too. It’s pretty great.

For mobile KeePassDX is great

The stupidity of YT ads these days (lemmy.ml)

I was watching a video on landscape mode on my phone on YouTube. And then when a wild midroll ad appears, the ad thinks it’s a good idea to play a ultrawide-screen video inside a TikTok style vertical phone window, and then puts that in a widescreen video. The whole thing also got smaller to display the CTA at the right....

I’m not really a fan of sponsor block. It’s pretty much the most privacy respecting way of advertising and safe income for the creator. Seems like a win−win. I don’t like watching ads but I’d rather watch a sponsor segment than a YouTube ad

NewPipe ftw though

illectrility,
@illectrility@lemmy.world avatar

I kind of agree but I also kind of don’t.

I thoroughly enjoy well produced content by the likes of Veritasium, Captain Disillusion, Mark Rober, Lemmino, Potato Jet and more. I do see where you’re coming from tho

There still are people doing it as a hobby and some even consider it a hobby despite the high production quality. Those channels are harder to find, though and that is kind of sad. I can’t help but wonder what would’ve been if we hadn’t commercialised the web.

I’m not against crypto. It’s just not that usable for everyday transactions like at the grocery store

I run /e/OS with a custom app store, App Lounge. It combines F-Droid and the Play Store via Aurora. It even embeds Exodus Privacy Ratings and is simply awesome. You can even log in with your Google account and download paid apps that way. Pretty neat.

I don’t care if anyone smokes. Just don’t annoy me with it. People smoking in public places and giving you free lung cancer is my worst pet peeve.

Thats why I hate smoking more than drinking. Drinking doesn’t make me want to cough my lungs out and doesn’t endanger me directly when someone does it. Smoking does.

illectrility,
@illectrility@lemmy.world avatar

I meant tobacco with the whole lung cancer thing. But tbh you can’t escape poisening yourself if you have a fairly regular life. Cars, processed foods, plastics; all that kind of stuff is very hard to avoid for most people. With smoking I just really hate the smell (I’m hypersensitive) and the fact that smoker’s poor decisions often times directly impact the people around them

Can we shut up with the "EEE" shit already?

Meta exist to make a profit, however they’re never going to be able to advertise to most people in the fediverse, who also happen to be some of the most knowledgeable people in some fields. If they accept that they’re never going to be able to advertise to those people, they go for the next best thing: monetising their...

Pop! _OS’s Cosmic Version of GNOME (regular GNOME kinda stinks) but KDE is also pretty great. Can’t wait for COSMIC DE. I’m sure that one will rock itself up to the number 1 spot really quickly.

illectrility,
@illectrility@lemmy.world avatar

Startpage (basically a proxy for Google afaik), Murena Spot, SearX, Qwant, SwissCows

I use Qwant and Startpage for most things, but tend towards Qwant due to speed.

I primarily use Startpage for image search, though, because you can specify exact resolutions.

In my phone Murena Spot was always the default search engine and it’s fine. I switch between it and Qwant Lite.

When I want someone to search more privately without getting different results, I always recommend Startpage.

@illectrility@lemmy.world avatar

The only right answer... But wouldn't Name[1] be 'e' in this case? I would add a .split(' ') to avoid confusion.

So the full answer would be Name.split(' ')[1]

Why do I always over think stuff like this...

Edit: they also shouldn't capitalize variable names
