Hmm I opened linkedin in Firefox and ublock origin showed it blocked 4 items... then switched away and back and the counter was up to 12.

Is that enough blocking, I wonder?

Firefox uses randomised IDs for installed extensions, so the method highlighted won't work on Firefox. That's not to say they aren't trying other methods on Firefox.

... but he had fun doing it!

Cloudflare is becoming a single point of failure. That is not a solution.

And these people weren't validating the email address on signup. To "reduce friction" i guess.

As far as I know dual graphics laptops are a pain no matter the OS and chips.

The one sample i know of first hand is an amd/nvidia laptop that never obeys the settings about which GPU to use. In Windows.

It already does doesn't it?

For censorship/liability reasons of course. Like the silly "I cannot discuss political events" when I asked something like who's the current $POLITICAL_POSITION a while ago.

I wish the chatbots would say "you can't do that" instead of making up stuff. But that ain't going to happen, I think.

I’m sorry Dave. I’m afraid I can’t discuss that.

daisy, Daisy…

But you're not the "owner" in that scenario, unless you're running a local LLM on your own hardware.

Location: Romania

Remote: Only. Have done it for most of my career, have home office and not kitchen table, can work async, used to time zone differences etc etc.

Willing to relocate: Not on the first date.

Technologies: C++, Python, Yocto, windows native, Qt, iot stuff, arm linux, all those buses like i2c, spi, serial, Android, Couchdb.

Résumé/CV: Linkedin link in profile, or same user as here.

Email: Description in profile.

General use developer/architect/lead for those keywords above or other keywords.

Used to working independently, architecturizing and coordinating tiny teams.

Have carried a lot of customer's bits from wherever they were generated to wherever they were needed. Either just talking to sensors or doing the whole chain, daemons and GUIs if the project required them.

Have done software archaeology on mature code bases and fixed/improved them. As a matter of fact that's what I'm doing now, bringing an old native windows application to the 21st century.

I'm probably not a great fit for the formal startup/corporate world, I'd fit better helping in a small organization. Assuming someone from a small organization reads these threads.

Not necessarily looking for full time employment, if someone just wants to get to know people via part time / fixed duration projects, that would be even better for a start.

If the book is out of copyright is the translation also out of copyright?

Edit: apparently not. So Gutenberg is hosting whatever they legally can, which is older translations.

There are multiple older translations, but Project Gutenberg only has one at the moment. I'm conjecturing that they used to have a different one (also out of copyright; that's their whole thing), but have taken it down for unclear reasons.

It's also possible that I found a free translation of The Three Musketeers somewhere else, or that I read the same version PG has now and have misidentified it as being different.

I don't think protocols are the solution.

Didn't the original facebook only show you posts of friends? Made by them or intentionally reshared by them.

Stop at that and you get rid of the influencer spam. The danger of placing yourself in a bubble is still there, but at least it's a bubble of your friends, that you could have got yourself into even in real life.

Of course, there's the question of how you finance this.

> Didn't the original facebook only show you posts of friends?

The feed was added a few years later. Originally, if you wanted to see someone's posts, you had to go to their page and look on their wall (a term I haven't heard in some time).

The question is, has this had anything to do with Asimov the writer? Was he involved at the start or endorsed it somehow?

Judging by the .press domain it's too new for that.

Actually I did look them up and that Asimov was never involved with them or their parent company.

A bit dishonest don't you think?

Hmm I've always had a manually configured low power generic box as router.

But I've never even tried to set up my own access point, I just pay Unifi for that [1]. The software part is doable but I don't want to learn to handle the signal issues.

[1] Switched to Unifi in anger after my first consumer level 5 Ghz wifi needed reboots weekly because it was overheating. Do yourself a favour and get the semi pro stuff, Unifi or others.

I've been running a custom router for about a decade, but I too have haven't tried handling the wifi on my own. It's always been easy to get an external access point and there's a bit of a guarantee that it's done correctly.

I kind of feel like that's cheating though; I've outsourced the hardest part of the project to someone else. Maybe one of these days I'll take an old NUC or something and buy a decent wifi antenna for it and try and do it properly.

[1] Initially pfsense, then OpnSense, then ClearOS, and now some custom firewall rules in NixOS.

So it's been awhile but the best and simplest way I think is use an access point. I don't want my wireless gear doing routing. From a logic stand point they acts as wireless "bridge" to the physical network, and nothing more. DHCP, etc. stay handled in one place for the entire network, back on the physical router.
