Trump voter shocked to get fired by DOGE: It’s ‘destroying people’s lives' in c/news@lemmy.world

When productivity becomes the primary concern in a country, don't be surprised your life and aspirations are destroyed for the greater design of a rich dude.

They say that deregulation is the way to freedom but money is a way to coerce people into doing things they don't want. Americans like this IRS worker just traded relative democracy for feudalism lol.

The worse part is that I'm currently headed to the airport to go to Denver lol (I'm French), what am I doing going into this ehehehe ?

The problem with Web Standards is that they're so complete, broad and complex that it's very hard as an independent team to get started writing a browser.

You'd have so little daily active users compared to the titans products (Chromium, Gecko, WebKit) that even if you made something super good, it would still be hard to guarantee website compatibility without faking the user-agents.

There's also a lot of complexity involved in writing a sandbox for every instance of a website (tabs or iframe) and sharing information between multiple process. I don't know how they do it in Chrome, but in Firefox they have a whole specification language for that which compiles to C++.

You also have to recreate the DevTools and other tooling for developers to adopt your browser and for you to debug any issues with your DOM renderer...

I love how much the web has to offer nowadays with technologies like WebRTC, WebSocket, Blobs, GamePad API, modern CSS3 but it has also the effect of locking us down into a tiny ecosystem.

I really their should be legislation on what companies can do with their browser because they've become such an important piece of the internet so they should serve public good.

I don't know how to make it happen and I don't even know if it's a good idea when you consider the governance issues it would bring for open-source project.

I'm really passionate about this technology !

I learned all the thing that kept me safe on there too; and the life story were interesting and also the trip reports and experiment!

This was something I couldn't get IRL until a long time, and still, is not very active today (my friends and I are all busy we can't really experiment !! Maybe next time we see each other)

(Edit: Drug Reddit was amaziiing, especially r/shrooms r/trees r/dxm | can't really start a community because I'm not regular enough in this area, I guess that's a good thing)

Je viens d'emménager, où aller pour rencontrer des gens? (sh.itjust.works)

Ça fait un mois que j'ai emménagé dans le 15e et je suis très excité par toutes les opportunités de rencontres et de découvertes dans la ville. Cependant la solitude me pèse un peu... (Pour l'instant j'essaie de faire une expo tous les week-end)

Pour donner un peu de contexte, j'ai terminé le lycée et examens en juillet 2024 et j'ai quitté la fac (ça ne me plaisait pas du tout) pour faire du développement dans une boîte au centre de Paris.

Du coup, plus de potes de lycée/enfance, plus de potes de fac, et totalement perdu dans cette ville, très jolie néanmoins et probablement passionnante.

Si vous connaissez des spots/assos/groupes pour sociabiliser en dehors du taff (et d'Internet) et rencontrer une grande diversité de gens, écrivez un commentaire.

J'aime/je fais :

  • de l'open-source
  • du beatmaking
  • du JdR (je suis maître de jeu normalement mais vraiment la flemme de m'y remettre en ce moment)
  • je lis beaucoup (de tout mais pas mal de fantasy et de philo)

Je suis curieux de découvrir :

  • les catacombes (faut y aller au moins une fois tant que je peux)
  • le monde (je suis jeune donc j'ai encore rien vu)
  • des gens différents que ce de mon quotidien

Voili voilou je vous aime les loulous ❤️, ce n'est pas une présentation exhaustif de ce que j'aime donc soyez créatif avec les propositions

Merci d'avance...

Si vous connaissez un peu le slang, l'histoire de Juice WRLD, c'est vraiment une musique frappante. Il faut savoir qu'il a (pratiquement) tout enregistré en 1 take!

Je voulais juste partager ça :)

I need a new phone but I want to do this right (sh.itjust.works)
 

(Please when answering, assume I’m not a beginner at privacy/programming :) I know where the good stuff at)

First off, shameful confession: I’m writing this on a dying yellow iPhone XR I bought second-hand three years ago (189€). I absolutely love the look of it: the screen, build quality, are all amazing. The only problem was the locked ecosystem (sideloading Spotify/Torrent client was sooo hard).

I saw the android phone of my mother dying really fast. She currently has a Xiaomi phone that’s ridiculously big for my hands, there’s advertisements in the stocks apps (?!!), the UX is janky and everything. It looks like a bloat, privacy nightmare.

So… because it’s impossible to find a jailbreakable phone nowadays I need to buy an android and ideally I would want:

  • Good screen (vivid colors)
  • Good build quality (not shitty plastic)
  • Don’t care about the camera (I don’t want those ridiculously big cameras they make nowadays)
  • Would want to install either GrapheneOS/LineageOS

The things that scare me off:

  • I really need my bank app and I need it updated so I have to use Google Play Services but I don’t want it to plague my phone with privacy bullshit (I want to be degoogled)

The things that excite me:

  • Customization possibilities
  • Learning experience
  • Even more privacy than a de-googled IOS phone :)
  • F-Droid!! (Maybe I’ll find a beautiful IRC client)
  • More choices for Mastodon & Lemmy clients
  • Freedom of free software.
  • client for open-source git providers :)

But to get all of that, I don’t want Google, I need shitty apps (non-free software) I have to install:

  • Instagram (for non-technical friends)
  • GitHub (job & open-source)
  • No-Ad Modded Spotify from Balatan
  • Discord (gamer friends)
  • Telegram (cryptobros friends)
  • Steam (because I still love gaming)

Any advices? Phone ideas? I’m so lost in this ocean of choice (freedom ✨)

Is there a book/saga that you finished and cannot forget to the point where it gets harder to read other books? (sh.itjust.works)
 

For me, the first time this happened was with The Royal Assassin Saga from Robin Hobb, and then Metro 2033.

This year, it’s The Witcher saga… (I can’t move on) I love all those introspective books with thoughtful heroes trying to make sense of the world they are forced to evolve into.

Do you have any other book like that?

How do you find projects to work on when learning a new language? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I have been learning C++/Elixir recently and I’ve made a distributed port scanner & and a streaming platform with Elixir (what an amazing language to work with) and some fun in C++ (also super cool to use).

I feel like I gained basic mastery of the languages, but I’ve been meaning to deepen my knowledge of them. However, I don’t know where to start now…

Can you give me ideas, open-source project that I could help, etc… ? Thanks!

Help me address some problems with C++ (beginner questions) (github.com)
 

I've been trying to learn a system language because it would enable me to access a whole new world of possibility for games, tools, and potential projects. My main problem when learning the language are:

  • can I write modern C++ code using the newer standards and still compile with libraries from older standards?
  • how do I even organize a C++ project? Look at the linked project, the CMakeList.txt is so hard to understand, the syntax looks so hard to write.
  • how do I install dependencies? You're going to laugh at me, but I always used languages with package managers and I looked again at the linked project, and they write a whole CMakeList.txt to import ImGui (GUI library I wanna try) but if you compare the structure of the files, it's different from the ones on the repository of ImGui.

As you see there are a lot of problems and it pains me to not be able to solve them because Rust is so unfun to use and work with! Do you think I should try C++, carry one with it?

Thanks, hector.

Pirates of the world we need your help to fight back for the sake of Yuzu and emulation freedom! (sh.itjust.works)

I've made a full archive of Yuzu

Hi I've made a full archive of Yuzu. That would include all their Github issues, the git repo on its last version, the latest available release binaries from the Github page, and all of their progress reports from the Yuzu website. The progress reports are good for understanding the general work and weaving a narrative in your mind about the trajectory of the Yuzu project, and the Github issues can outline resolved issues and outstanding ones.

I do not include any illicit materials in my archive. If you seek keys, roms, firmware, etc, you won't find it here.

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:404295db91d035ae11395ad1755ab7e5dc8b6f19&xt=urn:btmh:1220f2bd7dbfd7ec2e25c9e848cf0b17d771332e57e3ba109368e111c0a45967966e&dn=yuzu-full-archive&tr=udp%3a%2f%2fopentracker.i2p.rocks%3a6969%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.opentrackr.org%3a1337%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.auctor.tv%3a6969%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2fopen.tracker.cl%3a1337%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.torrent.eu.org%3a451%2fannounce&tr=https%3a%2f%2fopentracker.i2p.rocks%3a443%2fannounce

While I'm happy to share this torrent for basically as long as possible, I do not have port forwarding available. So if anyone wishes to have these materials and possibly has a seedbox, please assist! Also this is like the first time I've ever created a torrent, but I'm pretty sure I did it right.

P.S. I am completely unrelated to Yuzu team members. I'm just a saddened user like everyone else.
