Full stack developer and privacy advocate. I like to keep the mentality, if you can program one language well, then you can program in any language!
I like the electric part.
What I don’t like is that it’s a steaming heap of spy-ware on wheels with no opt-out ability.
Which may lead to more expensive insurance depending on your driving style, or could be abused for even more nefarious reasons.
I like and been using JetBrains IDEs for years now,
and am/was happily paying for a good product.
However I feel like they’ve been going backwards in the last year or 2,
it feels less premium,
and more like your a paying beta tester,
since lately I deal with bugs in their IDEs too often to my liking.
But this news kinda scares me,
usually if something is free,
then you are the product,
paying with your data.
Which I can see happen to these IDEs now :/
Especially in this day and age where massive data collection by big tech is sadly normalized, and where coding data likely is wanted to be trained upon by AI companies with the current ongoing hype bubble and all.
If that would start to happen to JetBrains products, I fear for enshitiffication in the forms of:
And further once the AI bubble pops,
which will lead to less demand for data,
since there will be less companies.
= AI bubble
You can use Aegis and/or Yubico Authenticator instead, that’s what I do.
Correct me if I’m wrong,
but I have been disliking Ubuntu because they use:
Removed by mod
Imo cuz people are too PC (Politically Correct) buthurt lately.
I’d even flip the tables, and call it racist if you won’t allow other races to dress up / admire your own race.
Ofc doing it to make fun / be a dick about other races is not okay.
I guess a little inflation is good,
to prevent all money from ending up in a single party’s hands.
However that’s the only upside I could think of, other then that I fully agree with you.
Central/regional banks “printing” money, through bonds and fractional banking, is blatant stealing from people who worked / saved in the past imo. Since it leads to inflation / devaluation of the currency.
Yes/no.
I lived without YouTube / a Google account for years.
But I still use YouTube through a privacy respecting frontend:

I usually go for:
WASM projects can be open source,
just like Android apps can be.
However in both instances the compiled versions of it are not easily readable.
Also you can validate binaries against a shasum to ensure no tampering has happened with them.
WASM = WebAssembly,
this has nothing to do with Java,
but with JS (JavaScript).
JS works with JIT (Just In Time) compilation, meaning every user that requests a web page, will request the JS and your browser will compile that JS on the fly as you request it.
WASM on the other hand is pre-compiled once, by the developer, when he/she is making the code. So when a user requests a WASM binary, they don’t have to wait for JIT compilation, since it was already pre-compiled by the developer.
They only have to wait for a tiny piece of JS,
which is still JIT compiled,
a tiny piece of JS to load in the WASM binary.
This saves the user from waiting on JIT compilation and thus speeds up requesting web pages.
WASM also increases security,
since binaries are harder to reverse engineer then plain text JS.
Due to those reasons,
I believe WASM will be the future for Web development.
No clue why people are hating on WASM,
but I guess they just don’t grasp all of the above yet.
Figure out which politicians are behind this.
And throw them out,
since they are trying to take away your rights (to privacy).
They are looking to apply mass surveillance upon you guys wrapped into a “For the kids safety” package as usual…
Thank you for sharing that link.
And man happy to be on tchncs lately! :D
Hope my and other instances will de-federate from Threads/Meta.
We don’t need that spyware giant in the fediverse…
Here is a guide I once wrote on how to do that in the Eternity app for Lemmy on Android:
I want HP to shove it where the sun don’t shine :)
🤢🤮
I don’t trust CloudFlare with my data,
assume they will sell it since it’s a for-profit company.
Meanwhile Quad9 touts about not logging IPs and being GDPR compliant.
Nice try CloudFlare,
but I’m still picking Quad9 any day over you:
Khajiit has wares if you have coin.
