yeah in a perfect world google dictates how the standard will evolve, we kill all competition so we're sure that you have only one target to build your software against, I'm sure a monopoly will greatly improves innovation and not be used to stiffen competition. /s

Using Blink doesn't mean you have to defer all decisions to Google. You just benefit from not having to duplicate work.

And you can't do what Google doesn't want you to do. That's a nice ad blocker you have there, shame if we removed support for it.

“The benefit of open source is that anyone can fork and modify the code!”

Yet somehow this argument seems to evaporate since people’s brains short circuit the moment they see the name Google.

The community can always fork and maintain a separate version of Chromium if necessary. Or does this concept only not apply to Chromium?


Brave literally ads an ad blocker into the browser itself. When you fork software you can do whatever you want to it.

Except one does since Google is the primary maintainer. Anyway, work on other browser engines is not duplicated or wasted.

It's easier maintaining a fork of Blink than an entirely different engine. Google being the primary maintainer doesn't mean that browsers can't make large forks.

>work on other browser engines is not duplicated or wasted.

How is having N engine developers implement some new addition to the EMCAScript or CSS standard for each of their engines not duplicated work?

Maintaining a fork is not fun as taking patches from the origin repo becomes more complicated the longer the fork exists and the bigger the divergence becomes.

It would be duplicated only if they all maintained, say, a Blink fork.


sync is not backup

Also why you sync through LAN only?


I was in a vacation and I couldn't connect to a remote pc. And since then I set up wireguard in all routers and I also changed syncthing LAN only.

Ok, i do use it through their relay but i should do the same

It's tailscale or local LAN. syncthing allows you to specify multiple addresses for the same peer

> tailscale or home routers network


I really need a 3:2 desktop monitor but it's just impossible. AFAIK there's only the BenQ one (well it seems that now there's two) and it's out of my budget. I would have no problem settling with a 1080p one but there's just no manufacturers :(

Coding is so much nicer on those. I have a Huawei Matebook 14 from a few years ago, and at my previous work I had a Framework, this ratio is just night and day it's so much better


There is a plenty of Chinese lower quality 28 3:2s

Pointless article. That's the same article we've seen thousand of times by now "look, I told the random number generator to write text and it did". There's not even a reflection or anything that's litterally it. No you are not a Go Developer, reaching this point of knownledge could have been done in like an hour by reading tutorials and docs. Even if you think you want to use AI to gain time on developing, learning a language is NOT something you want to gain time on.

eye-of-gnome was nearly perfect. But the "modernization" (e.g. GTK4 and some small ux changes) made me un-usable for me. I settled on eye-of-mate but there's still a few things I'd rather change (e.g. with zoomed-in pictures you can't use left/right arrow to go to the next one in the folder because now it move the viewport of the zoomed picture).

It's really unfortunate that those UX changes are not behind flags (I would have no issue with those being turned on by default which I could revert back easily)

EDIT/ But to be fair its more related at everything related to GTK4 for me, All the GTK3-era app were amazing, now I can't stand any of them and it pretty much made me switch to QT equivalent for most of them


This app is just garbage. Can't even use it if you are rooted.

I'm so thankful that Minecraft has developed it's own ecosystem for modding (I don't like CurseForge but it's MILES ahead of NM, and modrinth is great) and did not rely on NexusMods. Try to install a big modpack in TES, Fallout or Cyberpunk without actually paying for the API access, it's borderline insane.


I recently migrated from a synology to a diy nas, 8to to transfer, did it through rsync, took a few days but it ended up working nice.


What software are you running on your DIY NAS?


TrueNAS, I have really mixed feelings about it. It's ok but the company behinds it start to do not great stuff


And it seems to store that info locally as even typing the url manually after being redirected from here you still get the eggcup. Using the link in private mode does work though, probably need to clear the local storage


using a different browser works fine too (tried edge after chrome)


I despise django-orm, doctrine is so much better. Like, who thought that using named arguments to do stuff was a proper way ??? `.filter(created_at__gte=XXXXX)` why? The rest of the framework is great but the ORM is definetly its weakest point.


I find those double underscore kwargs weird too, and would prefer to simply pass a lambda instead. What is your idea, what would you suggest?


In Doctrine the query builder can take objects that describe what you want to do [1], not the best but still way better to read and understand. There's also the DQL which is an SQL-like language that's pretty well integrated in phpstorm and is quite close to SQL [2]

[1] https://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-collectio... (for collections but you can use them for queries too)

[2] https://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-orm/en/3.... / https://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-orm/en/3....


The double underscore kwargs are a bit odd, I agree, but once you know about them they're okay.

And, rather like the petrol engine, it turns out while it sucks, everything else is massively worse in some vitally important way.


Having used Doctrine, hard disagree. Never again.


I've used django-orm at my previous job for 2 years and I never have liked it, the syntax is just not nice to read. I used Doctrine for 5 years (2 before last job and 3 since I got my current one) and it's just night and day. Declaring entity is just way cleaner, you can just skim through an EntityRepository / query and understand easily what it does
