Instagram app no longer lets you post stories without allowing camera and mic access on ios
  • Playing devil's advocate here but there could be legitimate reasons to prevent features of an app if you don't give the permissions.

    Things like professional type apps that need geolocation to work (geofencing, photo geoloc) or because x big shot client wants to track their employees and you're just forced to accept that unless you want to declare bankruptcy.

    Definitely is a very hostile pattern though and there's no reason for meta to do this shit...

  • This company is the laughing stock of gaming right now
  • I don't mind paying full price for a game, as long as I own it in the end and that the game is not ridiculously short.

    Paying 70 euros for a game with less than 7hrs of playtime to get to the end, and artificially padded with collectibles around a open world is a ripoff especially when the game requires licensing servers to be online to play, even for single-player.

  • We had a good run, thank you everyone
  • My point was that there is no need to replicate everything everywhere. If the data is replicated a cross 5 instances per region for instance, it's enough for replication needs. If you self host lemmy and subscribes to large communities on your instance, you can quickly overload your server. We need activity pub to be more lightweight if we want smaller instances to thrive.

  • The World’s E-Waste Has Reached a Crisis Point
  • Some people change phones every year, or more often than that, then there's all the coffee makers, small electronics nobody thinks about (watches, radios), computers and laptops, tvs, speakers, smart lights, kitchen tools, cars, anything digital (like calipers), power tools... Depending on what you count, it could add up to ridiculous numbers for some, skewing the average

  • Why does everyone hate Cloudflare?
  • They get hated on because :

    • they inspect packets. They terminate the TLS sessions at their servers and reencrypt to forward to the backend. This allows them to analyze the data to spot spam, optimize compression and such

    • they are used everywhere. If they go down, 30% of the internet goes with them.

  • File transfer to USB drive fails after 4.3 gb
  • People suggested formatting to exFAT which is valid, but first you could just try either compressing the file (tar czvf file tarball.tgz for instance). FAT32 cannot handle files larger than 4GB, and compression might just make your file small enough.

    As a workaround you could also split it in half and stich it back on the target machine

  • Rent is Robbery
  • So if the housing market crashed like really bad, by say everybody owning multiple homes being suddenly unable to afford the loans for that many homes, what would happen?

    The banks would have to repossess the properties. And sell them on the market, but with many homes to sell, the price would come down crashing.

    One can dream.

  • Have you ever done something for yourself on your (job) company's infrastructure?
  • It already exists. There is a company that sells a space heater that mines crypto currency. You get like 50% or the profits which sucks, but you at least recoup a bit of the cost of the electricity to run the heater.

    I think we should try to heat ourselves with computing as much as we can since the side effect of computing is heat generation (and minor RF losses). How cool would it be to make a large supercomputer out of millions of homes heating up in the winter?

  • Linux holds more than 8% market share in India, and it's on the upward trend
  • My guess is click farms with some unknown custom made os that skew that data?

    That also might be a source of Linux users hence the relatively high market share of the OS?

    Not to mention that India still has a lot of call centers (some for scams) that may use Linux because it's free (compared to a windows license)

  • making a simple rpg app
  • If you need a UI, flutter is great, but for a complete beginner it has a bit of a learning curve.

    Maybe you could start with a small PWA (progressive web app) using Javascript or typescript. You can do it all in the front-end for something small like this, though you won't be able to implement some features like synchronization across devices

  • Auto import transactions to financial manager by parsing bank emails–– a sanity check
  • I know that banks in Europe are bound by law to follow PSD2, which is a set of guidelines to propose APIs. I found a stackoverflow post to generate the required certificates for that but those are only supposed to be for testing purposes https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50045376/how-to-create-eidas-certificate-with-qwac-and-qsealc-profiles-psd2-specific-att

    You can use the PSD2 api to fetch the transactions from your account directly, that would be a lot less troublesome. There is also the woob (formerly weboob) project that has web scraping for a lot of banks (specifically french but also some American ones like amex)

  • Why I'm not getting a Fairphone*
  • I personally don't care too much about the headphone jack (or lack thereof) when buying a new phone. That being said, for someone that doesn't care all that much about audio quality, Bluetooth headphones are just fine, and I prefer having a more water resistant phone (maybe I just bought into the marketing on that point, but it seems harder to waterproof a phone when there are holes in it, though the usb port is still there as a weak point so...)

    I've just accepted that the lack of headphone jack is the new norm.

  • Was just looking at fediverse observer. Did something happen 19 August or the graph didn't worked that day?
  • Isn't that when trolls decided to post child abuse material on lemmy world? Since it's a large instance it federated to a bunch of others whose admin, rightfully so, decided to take down their instance to avoid legal repercussions, as well as take the time to clean everything up

  • Why is React, a client side rendering framework, a popular choice for server side rendering?
  • My hot take is that I find it so much more pleasant to write typescript and do most of the work in the front-end rather than deal with optimizing the response time of the backend day in and day out. With SPAs it's so much easier to fetch just what is needed rather than have monolithic responses that take ages to arrive. Makes caching and cache invalidation that much easier too.
