I’m not well versed in the machinations of the Chinese government, but if a relatively “normie” VPN like Nord works in China… it’s probably controlled opposition (i.e. they’re logging everything to a government server.)
Your friendly local programmer, uni student and *nix addict.

This broke for me a few months ago. It just randomly… won’t start, despite saying otherwise.
That sounds like more effort than just… writing the code.
I liked GalaxQL.
Can’t beat Iosevka in my opinion. I use the Term variant for my shell as well.
Too late, already moved to Garmin after my third dead Charge 5 in ~1.5 years.
Good, I would like to avoid interacting with the hallucination machine.
Wow, I can talk to the hallucination machine! What an innovation!
… God, imagine if this all this effort went towards fusion power or space infrastructure. What a waste.
Yeah, no thanks. My third Charge 5 in 1.5 years “randomly” died a few days ago - I’m not that gullible.
Unicode versions (what this is talking about) and encodings are different things.
Encodings kind of by definition don’t really change. Unicode versions add new codepoints (such as emoji.)
Full Unicode text and images is likely all we’ll get, but honestly I never understood the appeal of all the crap they stuff into (say) iMessage.

Actual unpopular (but not extremist) opinions.
This is why I can never get into microblogging/Twitter-type platforms. Character limits and one-click reposting mean that what little discourse you get is shallow, and ragebait is consistently pushed to the top.
I’m not going to say that Lemmy or (especially) Reddit completely avoid this, but you generally get much more insightful conversation and can opt-in to political communities.
There was a thread on !asklemmy@lemmy.ml recently asking people for their unpopular political opinions, and it actually wasn’t a total shitshow!
I would, if not for a combination of a few factors:
Firstly, I currently own an S22 that can’t be unlocked, but I’m loathe to trade away a perfectly good phone so soon.
Secondly, Pixels (which seem to be the best supported in the custom ROM scene?) are still kinda shit hardware wise. At minimum they need a proper ultrasonic fingerprint sensor before I consider switching.
And finally, I don’t have a strong enough motivation to switch.
I’m concerned about my privacy, yes, but at the same time I really don’t do anything interesting with my phone. Most of my computation happens locally on my Linux desktop, far out of reach of any prying eyes.
And it’s not like they can use what little information they can harvest for anything, since all my devices are juiced to the gills with adblockers.
Yeah, there’s no reason to pay for Premium unless you have an iPhone (and hopefully even that will change once the EU drags Apple kicking and screaming away from their App Store monopoly.)
Not a Nix user, but IIRC nixpkgs
is actually bigger than the AUR by a long shot.
LLMs are little more than overclocked autocompletes. There’s no actual thinking going on, and they will happily hallucinate outright wrong or dangerous responses to innocuous questions.
I’ve had friends find this out the hard way when they asked ChatGPT to write them C for a class, only to get their faces eaten by UB.
OpenAI’s models are trained by scraping anything that moves. Anything overtly offensive or toxic is manually filtered out by cheap foreign labor… but you know what that won’t catch?
“Try sudo rm -rf /
, that should fix your problem!”
We’d need a quantum leap in storage and bandwidth first - orders of magnitude better, if we want competing to be financially sane 😮💨
Maybe when Google is (hopefully eventually) shattered into a million pieces by some US judge, YouTube could be splintered into several smaller companies, each with some portion of the infrastructure and channels/videos - thus forcing competition. Vaguely similar to the Bell divestiture.
