  1. The fact that they didn't ban Whatsapp, the most popular allegedly E2E encrypted app in India, speaks volumes of about credibility of Whatsapp.

  2. Damn man, this one actually hurts. Not only the site shutting down, but hearing about the situation of the members.

  3. I learned about: - Gentoo compiles everything from source - distcc - a tool to distribute C/C++ builds across network - NSAKEY - an alleged backdoor the windows by the glowies. This is the type of shitposting I like.

  4.  @ticktockbam  They haven't banned them, but those are open source apps so you can always build from source.

  5.  @therealb888  You can read every singel line of Signal's code, if you have time. It doesn't matter if government bans Signal or not. You can build it from scratch both server and client and be in control of everything. Imo it is the best OS project so far.

  6. Yeah, it was a shock. Its like a kidnapper holding you at ransom but every once in a while he will take you out to some nice buffet.

  7. I just want to see the Facebook management lose, Facebook as a software company has made some very influential contributions to OSS, without which the world wouldn't be same today. Would be a shame to see all of it go to waste.

  9. Same here in India, I only use it because everyone else just refuses to ditch it.

  10. Can someone ELI5 why is this a good thing? Wasn't Silkroad the big bad of black market websites where you could buy very questionable stuff and services. Also what is Trump's motivation behind this? I know he certainly didn't do it out of the goodness of his heart.

  12. I am legitimately blown away by the fact that people fall for the double your money scam. Its the most low effort and obvious scam.

  14. You just haven't met the true die hards. They could bottle up Tim Cooks fart and sell it for $1000 and the fan boys would still defend it.

  15. That Edge ad on Chrome page is equivalent to those fake popups telling me there are single hot moms in my area.

  16. Long post ahead. I have done some digging on this project since it blew up so let me share some of my findings. Pieter is your average hustler/builder type of dude who has a massive following on twitter and his online personality revolves around building niche startups and of course selling you his formula for a small price of $30 so you to can become him. There no way to verify if he actually makes the money he claims. The game was built entirely using AI, there is no doubt about it. Because if you look at the source in browser, its a single massive HTML file with more than 5,000 lines of code. No sane developer would write code like this. The funny thing is that there is no architecture like load-balancing you mentioned, he is just straight up rawdogging websockets that send all player data to all players. (More on this later). If its not obvious, the sole reason for the popularity of the game is his massive following of 0.6 million people. I have no way to verify if he has actually made money with this but considering the brainlets that live on Twitter, I wouldn't be surprised if people paid for it. Technically speaking, the game is not that impressive, its like a demo project that you make when you're starting out game dev. Its his following that makes it seem like its the end of game development. Remember the websockets? Because of how the game uses websockets, it has been hacked a few of times already and he is lucky the hackers were nice people and just added bunch of triangles that shoot you and not some vile sh*t. Even I "hacked" it myself by just changing the speed variables to go insanely fast, yeah you don't need to shell out $30 to go fast. This is because the game blindly broadcasts every player's data to every other player who is currently playing without any validation. So you can basically do anything as long as you can make sense of the 5k LoC codebase. Some nice game devs tried to point out these issues to Pieter but instead of taking them into account he flipped out and said that game devs are trying to gatekeep the field and their days are over. Yeah makes no sense to me either. I agree with your take on the popularity, I'd be surprised if he can keep it going for more than a few months. It's a quick cash grab, he knows it and is milking it to the fullest. If anything, my takeaways are as follows: - This is an overhyped project that only blew up only because of its already popular author. You can't replicate his success. - There are companies and even some individuals who are stupid enough to shell out huge amounts money just because its something popular. - This is not the end of game development. Just another Twitter AI slop. - I don't hate Twitter enough.

  17. I never understood the idea behind password managers, How is storing all your passwords in cloud with closed source software is supposed to make them "safe" You're better off writting them in txt and zipping it in a password protected 7z.

  18. At this point, Praising a big tech company is the equivalent of picking the lesser evil.

  19. The fact that goverments would ban Signal but not the other messaging apps speaks more about the integrity of other apps than Signal itself.

  20.  @morgantrevino4881  Facebook is rotten to the core. Wouldn't trust a word that comes out of that company. I am only forced to use Whatsapp because everyone around me won't stop using it.

  21. Just as I was thinking "wait a minute if it can run Linux then it can also run Doom" you revealed the URL lol

  22. I am confused, Is Manifest V3 an addition to Google Chrome or the Chromium Project? You seemed to be using these terms interchangeably which is misleading.

  23. This isn't much tho, you still have to remember that they own Instagram and Whatsapp.

  28. Its hopeless because Apple will just find another loophole. Or they will allow third party stores with impractical fees.

  29. Trust me, no developer wants to roll out their own datetime solutions, its always the company wanting cheap solutions with unreasonable deadlines that results in the same mistake over and over.

  31. Watching Microsoft fumble with their AI endeavors makes it clear why Google hadn't really put out anything yet in the same field despite being a leader and having the bleeding edge research. They've probably experienced some of the darkest shit to come to the conclusion that its not worth it. I know Bard exists but I am talking about pre AI hype era.

  33. I hate that this is the side of LLMs no one talks about. Its just piracy on a massive corporate scale.

  34. The best way to learn Linux is to use Windows. You get so fed up with bullshit that Windows throws at you that at some point you just get this burning desire to get into Linux.

  36. Hmm another Indian-American CEO I sure hope YouTube doesn't turn into more of a corporate product than it already is. And before you call me racist, I am Indian and Indian CEOs are good at running businesses but that's not something that YouTube needs. YouTube is a creator platform and business should always be on its sidelines but thats always going to be wishful thinking.

  37. This seems like a case of The Office handshake meme. Its either a bug or a different feature but Apple is getting praised for making an anti glowie feature. You have to remember big corps and three letter agencies are one and the same.

  39. We did it guys, Transphobia is no more. But seriously do these SJW gaming journalists realize that they're doing more damage to the trans community than help? And maybe just maybe if they took their activism to the right place it would actually make a difference.
