@Gina I couldn't remember my Twitch password, but I've watched most of your stream. It was hilarious how you did your best to avoid these rat creatures 😂

@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org Oh this reminds me of how they got a ton of raw materials off Ali (B2B marketplace, not the retail one) for one of the Russian "COVID vaccines" — the one that had zero efficacy. I'm not kidding, you can look it up, EpiVacCorona was its name 😂
I don't think the materials were the problem though, it was a hoax from the get go.

@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.devA girl gets deported (back to Kazakhstan I think) from one of the Baltic states for tax evasion. She posted her tax evasion scheme on Twitter, then posted a lot of controversial stuff and attracted lots of haters, got reported. FFS what could go wrong?! 🤣

@birnim@fosstodon.org Alex Jones is far from being a Sufi wiseman, I wonder where he gets his shit from? 🤔
I admit though, selling sheep shit to sheep is kinda ironic 😂
@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org

@birnim@fosstodon.org This was justified when we had 650 Mb CDs and dial-up connections, I don't know why they still do this today 🤷 @safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org @nerdtronics@mstdn.starnix.network

@mhd I think they've wanted Chrome to be a platform for web apps so they've got rid of most the UI. Firefox was a real browser though, I don't know why the did the same 🤷
They've removed the SSB parts entirely last year, but the stupid UI remained.
It's still fixable with userChrome.css, my FF has tabs below the address bar and has a visible titlebar — looks way better!

Верю!

@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org You've deleted the post, but I agree with you. I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it myself. Windows 10 is really bad without SSD. This "antimalware executable" thing makes it unusable for like 10 mins after startup. It doesn't even matter how much RAM you have 😂

@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org Yes, Windows 8 and 10 also have it. It was pretty useless though compared to what they did in Windows 11 😄

@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org Oh, it's still there — if you right click the taskbar it still has "Cascade windows" (Is this useful?), "Show windows stacked", "Show windows side by side" — you're right it was called "Tile vertically" and "Tile horizontally" in Windows 3.1 and later in 9x!

@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org That is debatable, but I think overlapping windows were a bad idea. Even MS is adding window management features from tiled WMs, first they've made pinning windows to sides/corners easy and in Windows 11 if you float cursor above maximize button it offers you layouts much like the ones we have in tiled WMs.

@niplav
Okay, js is some seriously cursed horse shit, but let's not forget that we had Macromedia (later Adobe) Flash before that! Lots of it! Everywhere!

Oh, I think I'm fine as long as it's not KGB 😂
I always thought that they had telephony background though.
The client has some controversial defaults about data sharing, it may leak your presence if you're in decentralized rooms — that's it. If there are backdoors, the implementation is the issue, not the protocol. And if the implementation is open source, just do the audit.
No, seriously, since when this Mossad shit is even a point?
@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org

@charliebrownau Yes, I know what Delta is. Has its uses.
If you want to run your own server that can talk to clients on other server XMPP and email are fine. Matrix is not that.
It takes decentralization to another level and most of its shortcomings like increased hardware footprint and some minor data leaks here and there come from it.
Like I said, it has its flaws, but those aren't fundamental. It's in active development, give it time, it'll get better. XMPP never will.
@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org

@charliebrownau No, it's not a problem. I use gomuks most of the time when I need IM only, but if you want e.g. video calls, you have to use Element or something similar that is hardly better.
If you run it in Firefox it's not an Electron app. Firefox is flawed, but you can't run Element in w3m. Matrix is flawed, but we don't have anything better. XMPP is not better, it had its days, but even with all the extensibility it failed to become what it could, it's a thing of the past.
@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org

@chrisod Even hardware this old can handle it just fine, it's a matter of habit now.
E.g. most distros have some flavour of getty running on six consoles, I'm a long time Linux user and I've never used more than three, even if it's tens of megabytes, why have it?
And I'm not into having it barebones just for the sake of it, these colored smileys will look cool in mutt — ok, let's use patched st. It's not a good reason to have a terminal that has this, that and the kitchen sink 🤷
@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org

@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org I feel the same way about KDE 😅
I know it's some leftover from the times when having an mp3 playing in the background had a noticeable performance impact. But since then I always ask myself, does this really let me use the computer in a better way? If not, why have it?
I use a laptop that is almost 10 years old and I'm really happy that with this approach it's 98,5 idle even when I have Element Web open in Firefox. Battery life is excellent as it's not wasted on some cruft.

@keithzg Ha-ha-ha, right! File formats for too distant future here 😅
I really wonder though — well, they'll definitely figure out it's a wave, but what's a second to them? What if they perceive loudness differently, not like logarithmic=linear? They find this opera record, spend some time on analysis, put it on and it sounds like chopped'n'screwed hip-hop to them. And they are like: how did those guys even enjoy this? Or… genuinely find it cool! 🤣
