Thank you!

I would love to know as well!

Neat! I can’t wait for Cosmic, it’s shaping up to be so nice

Very nice! Does/will cosmic have the ability to style buttons? Those are the main factorio UI feature imo (that and so many slots, which aren’t a normal UI element)

“The transgender topic” is already weird as a statement (kinda like “the gay agenda”, it comes off as only considering it as a political statement?), and “clearly promoted by the bourgeoisie” implies it’s bad.

“As far as […] lgbt flags on government buildings”: it’s… not far at all? Again, weird statement.

“Biological male” is both wrong for the boxer (she’s cis) and generally used for transphobia (trans women on HRT aren’t biological males by any reasonable definition). It’s also generally conspiratorial.

Overall it’s not explicitly transphobic or bad to me, but it shows at minimum a very misinformed perspective.

I’m not an OS dev, I have no idea how stuff this low-level works.

I’d suggest some kind of “press this key to view debug information” text (or make it documented but not visible, to avoid people just pressing whatever button is written on the screen)

Out of curiosity, I looked up the numbers. This is correct, they make 9.2 billion per quarter from ads and 10.7 billion from subscriptions. I can’t find expenses per-segment, but in 2023 their total “Cost of revenues” was 37 billion. I doubt everything other than youtube costs less than 17 billion, so they’re definitely making a profit.

It completely breaks them, currently: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/11139

This applies to at least NewPipe and yt-dlp, probably basically every such tool. Also, if you use logged-in cookies and download, they sometimes ban your account! Fun!

… which is why youtube has recently started blocking non-logged in users

Just to offer some support, you’re right and those are good questions

Oh, that is a surprisingly logical explanation. Neat.

… what

Fair. Powertoys is really extensive. I quite like Pop (or gnome’s? Not sure) tiling window manager though.

PopOS’s COSMIC menu is like that I think (you can search files, the web, even stuff like turning volume up and down)? But I’ve never tried to run it outside of PopOS.

Sorry, I cannot post as such for I am a fool!

You mean the engine owned by the guy who refuses to abide to the GDPR, thinks anti-suicide messages would be bias, wants to use AI to “remove bias from news articles” (and from reviews)? https://d-shoot.net/kagi.html goes into it, it’s a whole mess.

Right now all search engines suck, unfortunately.

Having read a significant portion of the base WASM spec, it’s really quite a beautiful format. It’s well designed, clear, and very agnostic.

I particularly like how sectioned it is, which allows different functions to be preloaded/parsed/whatever independently.

It’s not perfect by any means; I personally find it has too many instructions, and the block-based control flow is… strange. But it fills a great niche as a standard low-level isolated programming layer.

Yes and yes. The folder is just a bunch of markdown documents, as well as a hidden folder containing configuration, plugins, etc (json, js, css, etc). The vault is entirely self-contained.

On the second point, Obsidian’s vaults are intentionally stored as a single folder that can be synced easily, including all settings. They do have a service for syncing, but with a bit of tech know-how it’s still really easy to sync. Also, all notes are stored as plaintext markdown files, which is convenient since many programs can read markdown.

Rest is correct tho.
