You won't find many historical examples of fascists being booted out by the people.

The only successful revolutions are piloted by a small elite with further interests that may not coincide with the people.

> because they use it?

My hunch is because they have a backdoor in it.

"Abusive" and "threatening" is "in the eye of the beholder".

a great many time consuming pleasantries

Oh the horror!

So we're gonna get access to Von Der Layen Pfizer sms right?

Were you offered to vote for Von Der Layen by the way?

I use graphene not for security but because it doesn't come with any Google surveillance stuff.

Let's be realistic if some 3 letters agency really want some data about me, there's not much I can do to counter that unless I'm ready to go to extreme lengths.

I'm thinking of building a long term living app (say an app that I will use the next 30 years).

It has to be a web app so I was thinking of going pure JS. With that requirements in mind would you recommend ember.js?

Meh. I don't get the love Lua gets on HN. At least version 5.1, I didn't try the others.

No first class support for OOP, you got to use tables instead.

No "continue" keyword to go to the next iteration of a loop. So you have to use some ugly elseif.

No try catch!

It's a dynamic language so everything goes. A function will return nil or a number or whatever you wish. A function can also returns any number of variables, so obviously some moron will abuse it: looking at you Blizzard intern (you must have been an intern right?) that thought returning 20 variables on the combat event log was a good idea. Ever heard of tables???

The LSP can't do miracles when there are almost no rules so auto-completion is more miss than hit, which is quite shocking in 2024. The IA is helpful sometimes but create subtle bugs some other times. A simple uncaught typo will create a hard to find bug (yesterday copilot auto-completed myObject.Id instead of myObject.id, there went 20 minutes of my life trying to find why some code that was running solidly for weeks was now failing silently).

So all in all, Lua is fine to write small imperative scripts of a few hundred loc. Anything bigger and more complex you should run away IMHO.

I never realized C# was such a well designed language until I tried Lua.

As a long time FF user (from v1) I just migrated to Brave for 2 reasons:

- I'm tired of FF sneakily pushing some telemetry / studies / "anonymous ads" whatever even though they already get bilions from Google

- Brave is better at dealing with gdpr popups and ads than FF + ublock

On the other hand, Brave is a joke at managing bookmarks.

I tried Librewolf last year but I had some problems with it (not sure what it was).

You're all going to buy it anyway, so why would they do anything differently?

For example a reader app where you can't host everything on the server. My ebooks collection is 1TB big, and my videos are something like 20TB.

I get your point, but I'm more on the side of "let those enthusiasts get shocked and see in a few years if this electricity thing is really worth it".

I eschew complexity wherever practical. There's so much complexity in modern life, especially for tech people.

Right now mutable Linux is absolutely fine for me, but I'd like to thank all the people that are alpha testing some of the tech I'll adopt later ;)

IMHO for personal workstations immutable distros are a solution in search of a problem.

In 3 years using Fedora (which hasn't a reputation for being a stable distro) I once had a bad kernel that prevented my Framework laptop from booting (solved by blacklisting said kernel). All my other Fedora machines were fine.

Why would I need an immutable distro if even Fedora is stable enough? Heck i could use Debian or a RHEL clone and never have to worry about stability.

What a tongue twister for non danish speaking people :D

No computers connected to the internet in Swedish hospitals?

If there are, a bridge could be made willingly or not. OFC it's more secure than everything on the internet.

The guy is clearly passionate about his app, probably too passionate.

> 7 days a week

IMHO you're risking a burnout and working on your company 0 day a week.

It would be better to be reasonable now than to kill your company in a few years because you can't stand it anymore.

Take this next week-end off and go do something totally "useless" like walking in nature ;) It will recharge you.

25k isn't exactly pocket change!

Mine neither and they use a 6 numbers pincode! This is ridiculous, in comparison my home wifi password is 60+ random chars long.

Ouch!

Couldn't you just hire a designer that would have made your app look better with just CSS?

> there is a proposal that suggests individuals nearing retirement should work in a social service job for a year

And what about letting people live their lives without constantly micro managing their fate. What happened to freedom?

As long as I pay my taxes, don't infringe on the basic universal sane laws (you know, don't kill, steal etc) leave me the fuck alone.

I don't know for Germany but France, my country, starts to ask too much in exchange for what they're offering. Can't do this, can't do that, pot holes everywhere, prices and taxes skyrocketing, impossible to find a doctor that will receive you the same day and now they want to send us to die in Ukraine?

There aren't 7 billions elephants in the world.

So run a torrent client that doesn't use the VPN on the same ip and you're good to go?

> and leaving the community was the best decision for my mental health in a software development context.

May I ask if it was for technical reason (JS ecosystem breaking constantly) or for people reason?

Better than a NATO country though.

As a French citizen I wouldn't host anything in Russia, not from a moral standpoint but because we're at war (it's a "soft" war for now, but who knows how it will evolve).

Thanks, I thought it was some kind of home (house) automation. Do you have an example of what it's useful for? Why would I "manage" my home directory?

I "love" these projects that won't even describe what they do on their front page or even in their manual.

Of course everybody has 30 minutes to spare to try to understand what it is.

Why do you host your VPN in "hostile" countries?

Wouldn't it be better to host in Asia (Viet-Nam comes to mind) or Central / South America (Nicaragua etc)? Latency might suck but it would be better than no access.
