Rant: "Knuth, The art of computer programming" is overhyped in c/programming@programming.dev
[–] hades@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

I don't think it's overhyped, at least I've never heard anyone hyping it up so much. I would be happy to recommend you other books if you want :)

I also don't think it's a big deal if you didn't like the book. I don't think even Knuth himself would be upset, really.

Sounds like atop is exactly what you need.

FBI busts musician’s elaborate AI-powered $10M streaming-royalty heist in c/technology@beehaw.org

yes, calling it a heist specifically is extremely colourful in the wrong way

What kind of messaging apps do you use? in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] hades@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

wait, you're actually using encrypted email? Is it for work or you use it with friends/family too?

I've never received an encrypted email in my entire life.

One of the best TV sci fi franchises ever.

Does your brain ever do this? in c/programming@programming.dev

I can't imagine how normal people use any software at all. When something doesn't work for me, often I can figure out what could've gone wrong. For instance, there might be bug in the JavaScript form handler, and I can just bypass it. Or an app doesn't invalidate its cache properly, so I just need to flush it manually.

What is the most painless and minimal way to dual boot these days? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] hades@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

One problem with that is that you will end up with two EFI partitions. This is not supported very well by anything, really, so you will run the risk of Windows messing with the wrong partition anyway.

I've updated my comment.

Has anyone tried Proton VPN? in c/technology@beehaw.org
[–] hades@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago

I switched to Proton from Express when the latter was bought out by Kape.

Proton works perfectly so far for me. Their desktop software was a bit meh, but they've since improved it. Otherwise I have no notes.

Edit: it appears the PWA support in Firefox is not ideal, see responses to this comment.

Chromium is not an offshoot of Chrome, it's more of a precursor to Chrome, and it is completely controlled by Google. As such, it will also drop support for extensions that do not support Manifest v3.

If you want to enable PWA support in Firefox, it looks like this is possible (however the experience doesn't seem to be great, see responses to this comment): https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web_apps/Guides/Installing

For other browser suggestions see, e.g. https://www.xda-developers.com/4-browsers-manifest-v2-ublock-origin/
