As others have also mentioned, Minoxidil can be effective at slowing or stopping balding, with daily application, though it isn’t immediate (may take a couple of weeks to start showing results). It can vary a lot from person to person, so give it a shot for a couple of months before deciding whether to commit or not.

While the issue of the inter-server protocol being overly chatty is very much real, putting the burden on the users isn’t a good solution.

The focus should instead be on improving the protocol itself and its implementation with better algorithms, batching, etc. I’m not super knowledgeable about the inner workings, but I feel like there’s still some relatively “low hanging fruits” in the protocol design (are activities properly batched? are they sent as linear broadcasts to all federated instances? could we use some alternative broadcast distribution, like binomial? etc) and implementation (is the data model leading to some expensive operations? are the SQL queries well written? could we speed them up some other way?).

I say this as someone who’s been running an instance for many years now, and can tell you for sure it has been a rather bumpy ride, as a small server. Running a good and fast server with lots connections is not cheap; not as much as it should, at least imo.

Ah, that’s a nice one!

Good point regarding ecommerce shops, was not aware they were sold there!

This would be really neat, however it’s not trivial to sell those everywhere. If you’re lucky to live in a country or even city where they can get those to, you’re golden. If you don’t, you’re screwed.

Unfortunately, as much as I love the idea and tech behind Monero, actually accepting it is not practical at all, as the coin is used a lot for criminal stuff and is thus very strictly followed by many agencies. We don’t know if they can break it, but even they don’t, businesses can get a rough treatment just for accepting Monero. It’s perfectly understandable if they’d rather not do it.

Subscrevo. Estes projetos são importantes para mostrar o descontentamento com a evolução da Mozilla, e sem dúvida que um pacote completo que trata de tudo é mais cómodo que andar com scripts, especialmente para pessoas com menor domínio da tecnologia.

Agora, não acho bem as pessoas que incentivam a que se “abandone” o Firefox em prol do LibreWolf ou outras variantes de natureza semelhante. Não é sustentável. Os responsáveis do LibreWolf não desenvolvem nada em comparação com os esforços da Mozilla e contribuidores do Firefox. Se o Firefox desaparecer, o LibreWolf irá atrás.

Projetos como o Servo ou Ladybird são efetivamente mais interessantes nesse sentido, e espero que consigam ter sucesso no futuro. Mas, para mim, o ideal era que se conseguisse de alguma forma reavivar o desenvolvimento do Firefox, desligando-o da Mozilla (de forma sustentável, claro) ou “corrigindo” a Mozilla em si (não sei bem como).

Enfim, para ser realista, a supremacia do Chrome não vai a lado nenhum enquanto a Google tiver o tamanho e presença que tem, não nos iludamos. Chegaram a onde chegaram de uma forma muito clara: usaram a sua posição de líder em pesquisa, e-mail, vídeos, SO móvel, etc, para descolarem. O mesmo acontece com o Safari e Edge, apesar de em escalas completamente diferentes.

Apesar disso, acho importante continuar a lutar por mais e melhores alternativas. Ser derrotista também não leva a lado nenhum.

uma espécie de nacionalismo informático.

Sem dúvida. Mas ao mesmo tempo, a Europa tem a capacidade de poder fomentar uma visão bastante consensual, não deixando de ter como base uma malha de culturas diferentes, bastante rica.

Agora, como já outros disseram, tudo depende de como o software for desenvolvido. Código aberto em primeiro lugar.
Países da UE para os centros de dados? Sim, principalmente devido às leis mais pró-utilizador.

Excelente site :)

Foi aí que descobri a Scaleway, que já usei para várias coisas da instância (atualmente apenas uso para o envio de emails “transacionais”, e.g. confirmação de registo).

E o jeito que os portugueses pronunciam as coisas podem ser difícil para os brasileiros, ouvi. Tipo, ouvi brasileiros pronunciando quase cada som da palavra e os portugueses pulam uns sons.

Ah sim, bem observado. O Português de Portugal é bem mais fechado que o do Brasil, que acaba por ser mais “melódico”. Aliás, é comum estrangeiros acharem que pt-PT se assemelha muito a línguas eslavas (Russo, Ucraniano, etc) foneticamente, que vem, pelo menos em parte, dessa forma mais fechada de pronunciar as palavras.

x)

Sim, essa visão é comum. No meu caso, consigo compreender o sotaque do Português do Brasil com grande facilidade, mas as diferenças de vocabulário às vezes tramam-me. No sentido contrário, creio haver, na generalidade, uma maior dificuldade de compreensão do sotaque em si, além de uma barreira de vocabulário também.

Penso que essa dificuldade acrescida dos sotaques vem do facto de no Brasil se consumir muito Português do Brasil, tanto pelo grande volume de produções nacionais, como de produções estrangeiras dobradas. Em Portugal, comparativamente, consome-se muito mais multimédia noutras línguas ou dialetos, tendo a legendagem um papel muito mais relevante que a dobragem. É de notar também que em Portugal, a presença da variante brasileira é consideravelmente mais marcada que a presença da variante portuguesa (ou europeia) no Brasil.

PS: Como o Vilna já referiu, se escreveste isto sem a ajuda de um tradutor, parabéns :) Peço desculpa se a minha resposta tiver palavras ou expressões mais elaboradas! Se tiveres dúvidas, estou ao dispor.

Not to the point of crying, but I’ve got really shaken by the deaths of strangers and public figures before. In general, any death moves me, it’s a very natural and human reaction. Unfortunately, some farther ones or those that happen often enough to get me numb don’t strike me as much.

An example of a fairly recent death that shook me and large amount of people too, was the death of Rick May, an immensely talented actor, drama teacher and more, that voiced the character “Soldier” in Team Fortress 2. His iconic and charismatic performance for that role is just indescribable, and a significant part of what made the character, and by extension the game, so good. His loss was so big that Valve added an in-game memorial statue, so that players could pay their respects. The fan community really grieved together. He passed away due to Covid-19 complications in 2020 at 79 years of age.

Mullvad Browser isn’t bullet proof, it will not prevent fingerprinting entirely, though it makes it less reliable, especially if it isn’t sophisticated.

Finally! I had tried using the clunky torsocks not long ago and wondered why there was no namespace based solution yet. Glad to see this getting released, it will help many people. Tor ❤️

This is quite misleading and frankly low effort. Besides the readability issues, the chart makes a clear distinction between Proton Pass and Bitwarden when it comes to privacy, citing their privacy policy.

As it happens, however, Proton’s server code is closed, unaudited^[1] and not distributed, and the apps (web, Android and iOS) do not support setting different homeservers. This effectively means you cannot self-host your password manager and must be “locked” to Proton for what I consider to be one of the most fundamental and important pieces of technology a person can use.

Bitwarden, however, has opened their official C# server, their internal Rust SDK and the apps themselves too. Furthermore, they have several guides on how to self-host your own personal server, and have implemented settings in their apps to change the homeserver. There’s even an unofficial server, vaultwarden that is even better tailored for small, personal deployments.

All this to say: the fact they may collect some usage data on their website is very insignificant for their offering, in my opinion. The real value is in providing a secure vault that only the user can manage. If you need better privacy and/or anonymity, you should use tools specialized for that anyway, instead of blindly trusting a third-party’s Privacy Policy, no matter who they are. But then again, it’s the old game of threat models.

Ultimately, Bitwarden inspires more confidence than Proton, by giving those you can and want the ability to truly own their secrets.

Very useful, even for someone who has been using Linux for many years. Sometimes you just forget or need that tool you rarely use. tldr can be much handier than parsing a man page when you’re in a pinch.

I use the tealdeer implementation, but any is fine really.

Never knew about prelockd, seems like a pretty neat and useful idea, thanks!

I’m either being very dense right now, or I don’t have that o.I How is it called, or where is it located next to?

Wait what? Was there ever an option to open a private tab as a normal tab?? 🤔 I’d love to have that, but thought it would never get added. What version were you on before (and in which one are you now)?
