Can we stop with this subtle EU propaganda slop? I LIVE in an EU country and I have the exact same problem with modern movies. This has nothing to do with who gets to make the laws, there are only two reasons why everything needs subtitles now:

• Because of advancements in microphone technologies, actors don’t need to speak as clearly and are getting lazy as a result.
• Movies producers are assholes who think that everyone has a 50000$ surround sound home theater system and master the movie soundtracks accordingly – which makes explosions and action scenes sound WAY TOO LOUD on normal people sound systems.

I love how new versions of the CLI have the result automatically update as you type. Nice to see people going above and beyond to make CLI’s pleasant!

Also recommending ArchiveBox – it takes the shotgun approach to archiving websites, making snapshots with a bunch of different tools, singlefile being among them. You can use it as a one-shot command, or run it as a web server which provides a UI for archiving web pages. Linkwarden is similar.

IMHO the only reason to go above 60Hz is for better responsiveness in competitive games. Otherwise it’s just a meme, definitely a total gimmick on smartphones.

So I used to think that people hated on starbucks because “hurr durr real men only drink black coffee” and starbucks had extremely sugary and milky drinks that had barely any actual coffee in it. “No problem” I thought, “I like sugary drinks!”. So I went to a starbucks at the shopping mall close to where I live and ordered something and it was literally just a glass of ice cubes with like three sips’ worth of milk and syrup squirted into it. It genuinely felt like the barista forgot one of the ingredients or something. I thought it was a fluke but when I was at that mall at a different time I got a different iced coffee and it was the same stuff: glass full of ice cubes with a squirtling of syrup and milk. What even is the point!?

Yes, because when this happens to “normal people” it is never publicized as much as when it happens to a celebrity. It’s kind of by-definition.

But I am not disagreeing with you. I just don’t know enough about andrew tate and this whole situation to have a good opinion here.

See, the thing is, these are all allegations. It won’t be proven until his trial in 2027 whether he did any of those things or not (well okay, apart from the misogyny thing, he’s admitting that one loud and proud). Despite the fact, he’s had money and assets ceased and was sent to jail, which goes against some pretty fundamental values that many people are taught growing up (e.g. Innocent until proven guilty). So I can definitely see how many non-misogynists or even feminists would be on Tate’s side even if they disagree with his messaging.

How well do the signal and whatsapp bridges work? Have you used them yourself? I tried setting up a discord bridge years ago and it was terrible. Is it better now?

hmm havent heard of this one yet. Looks promising, gonna try it later. Thanks!

For people seeking an interface similar to signal, I suggest Session. It’s a fork of signal that onion-routes the messages (they have their own onion routing network, not TOR). There are no user IDs stored anywhere, you message people through their public keys. From the user experience side of the coin, it’s a little on the slow side tho.

Whatsapp to messengers is what internet explorer was to browsers lol. Slow, bloated, unfree, universally hated, but still somehow universally used

There are many things you can complain about when it comes to signal, but overall it’s a huge improvement from unencrypted messengers like discord and definitely a step leap in the right direction

You need something to download Firefox with.
