Anything that involves deception, which unfortunately seems to be most of marketing.

I don't mind when people just try to get their product out there, just let it be known that it exists and does X thing differently or better. I hate when they mean to deceive. Something that is intended to deceive but isn't technically a lie is not really better than a lie, to me.

Awesome, I'm looking for frameworks like this, thanks for sharing.

Great to know this was a bug. It felt a tad immersion breaking for every origin character to be so interested all of a sudden.

Thanks for all the great work you guys are doing with this instance. This place feels nicer than Reddit.

Two days ago, I wouldn't have felt particularly strongly about this sentiment, but my last few comments yesterday had some interesting interpretations...

I love both proprietary software and open source software, and personally I kinda like this warning.

How much of a concern it is for software's code to be proprietary, is probably personal opinion. For this reason, maybe yellow is a bit too much? I think making these errors grayscale might be a good middle ground.

My Canadian bank just charged me $45 CAD twice and only noticed me a day after the second charge. I didn't notice because I no longer use it. I wish the limit was $3...

Rust, because I'm lazy and I want a compiler that helps me out. Performance is a pretty neat bonus.

That's what I do all the time, and not on purpose. I don't know what's wrong with me

Which is the one with the snake logo?

I'd honestly choose a similar stack for the back-end. I have limited experience with Rust, but my impressions so far is that it's a language that allows you to make changes with confidence that they'll work. I feel like starting something in Rust is somewhat difficult, but contributing is relatively simple.

For the front-end, I don't think the choice is as important, since I think that by virtue of being federated and being able to have multiple front-ends, it would almost be better for the front-end to be managed by other parts of the community. And I say that as a primarily front-end/developer-experience dev.

I would probably default to React since I'm familiar with it and it's very popular, but would probably be tempted to experiment with something better.

I'm not sure if that's what's expected, but I also prefer an allow list approach to federation, and I answered on the survey that federation is important to me (as opposed to none).

I hope that, if many people answered like me for the same reason, it won't give the impression that we want implicit federation.

I'm trying out Kagi a little bit, and it has a federation search mode of some kind. I tried it for a search and it gave me results from Lemmy.

I don't know yet how Kagi compares to Google in terms of results quality, I barely used it so far. It's pretty expensive though.

I've been wondering for a long time whether I'd ever meet somebody else who doesn't use their phone in the bathroom.

I don't really judge the people who do, might as well be entertained rather than doing nothing, but I personally feel like my hands are dirty while I'm on the toilet even if I don't do anything (probably just a mental thing). Also, even on the bus, I had a tendency to just get lost in my head.

Unfortunately, it's the best calculator I could find so far (for my own needs). I paid to remove the ads though, ads bother me way too much to use something infested with them.

I thought that the line was that one supports owning the means of production and the other supports authoritarian governments, am I confused?

If it was something self-hosted on the web, it may have been Clarity AI.

I kept seeing so many different ones recommended and I kept getting weird issues I didn't understand with most of them. I don't often need to make a bootable Linux USB, but every time, Rufus did the job quick and easy.

Easiest solution IMO if you're already using CloudFlare, even the free version: you can filter out certain countries. Otherwise, there's probably other alternatives, even open source ones. Good terms to search for with your cloud provider or self hosted software may be middlewares, firewalls, serverless, edge functions, etc.

If you want to attach your own domain, I've been using Zoho and having no significant issue (although I haven't really tried anything else). Otherwise, Apple's seems to be the best value, surprisingly?

Disclaimer: I don't know much about securing the container itself. The considerations I discuss here are mostly networking.

What I've personally been doing is using k3s with Cloudflare Tunnel (routed using DNS like in this documentation) as an ingress.

With Cloudflare Tunnel, if you create an application in front of it, you can require authentication and add a list of allowed emails.

I could replace k3s with a different Kubernetes distribution, and/or replace Cloudflare Tunnel with a different ingress (e.g., Tailscale Funnel or more common ingresses like nginx).

That's a good point, I do find the UI a bit confusing too.

Why is it insane?

I understand, I'm a white cis man and I used to feel this way sometimes when reading things like this, but my perspective has since changed.

The way I see it, Beehaw is actively trying to be an inclusive space, as opposed to a lot of other online spaces which really aren't so inclusive.

My expectation would be that, naturally, POC, women, and lgbtq+ people would hang out more in inclusive spaces than non-inclusive ones, while non-minorities may be evenly spread of even favor non-inclusive spaces. Therefore, I would expect demographics of inclusive spaces to have an overall significantly smaller percentage of non-minorities.

However, some of these numbers look relatively close to national demographics (at-least based on those I see on Wikipedia for the US), and may even have a smaller percentage of minorities than national average. I don't know much about statistics and I'm not a mathematician, there's probably all sorts of factors going into why those numbers are the way they are. Still, instinctively, those numbers look unfortunate to me, since they don't reflect my expectations of a successfully inclusive community.

I hope nobody feels left out.
