cory doctorow is the prophet of our times

I saw that too, but I couldn’t tell if it was a community or corporate backed thing; I also don’t like that it’s only available through a browser (I know Bruno is Electron, but having a separate desktop app is nice to me)

At minimum Hoppscotch sells some kind of Enterprise Edition https://docs.hoppscotch.io/documentation/self-host/enterprise-edition/getting-started

I don’t know the details, but I’ve just gotten burned too much. Bruno seems genuinely fully libre, no bs, so I’m hoping that it gets more traction.

yeah but it removes access to all but one collection - you can’t organize things into separate collections without a login anymore. plus if you have existing collections, it’ll block access to it unless you downgrade (which seems to forcibly update even if you turn updates off)

might be a cool thing to try and contribute

out of curiosity, what does that mean precisely? being able to import/export an OpenAPI spec? (not super familiar with OpenAPI, I know you can get an OpenAPI collection in a json file)

sorry for the potentially dumb remark but… couldn’t you just avoid navigating to QAnon websites? I’ve never had an issue unintentionally navigating to one. It also seems like this repo owner is quite opinionated and trying to create a “no bad sites” filter list, which… honestly, you can control your own destiny with web browsing.

if this is to protect kids on your network, I think it’s probably a good idea to have a broader conversation with them about evaluating sources, tell them about media bias checking sites, and just generally educating them on red flags to distrust. This will probably serve them much better than trying to block right wing sites, especially since plenty of normal websites have harmful right wing content. YouTube in particular disseminates extremely misleading and harmful material via ads (lots of anti-trans hate speech).

In any case, I can’t find another repo - if you need the filter still, maybe you could fork the list yourself, and remove anything that you don’t find objectionable? (again, I feel like this is an example of why to not rely on a third party to block websites based off opinion/politics)

Fully agree.

Keep in mind there’s everyone not in tech. Loads of people probably use their iPhone and MacBooks, or windows and android, or some other combo - might never even look up a single Linux distro, or think about what servers are.

So I mean, if this was in lieu of data collection and tracking, this is what more of the software world should actually do. Running platforms isn’t free, and making the user the product is a malicious and unsustainable solution.

That said, I certainly wouldn’t pay Twitter - I think I’d rather donate to a Mastodon instance, or pay for some other private alternative. Musk is awful for so many reasons, holds way too much power, and deserves no money of mine.

I just swapped from NVidia to AMD, since Proton was not working under NVidia for Starfield at launch (and I’ve generally been unhappy using NVidia for a while).

I can finally also use things like Wayland where NVidia just doesn’t support it well enough to be a good option (e.g., weird issues with full disk encryption unlock screen, no night light support)

I know CUDA and productivity apps might push you in the other direction, but if your main priority is gaming, I suspect AMD will be nicer. My first impressions is that it plays way better with Linux and reduces headaches that shouldn’t exist but you’ll deal with under Nvidia.

This just feels like non-technical fear mongering. Frankly, the term “AI” is just way too overused for any of this to be useful - Autopilot, manufacturing robots, and ChatGPT are all distinct systems that have their own concerns, tradeoffs, regulatory issues, etc. and trying to lump them together reduces the capacity for discussion down to a single (not very useful, imo) take

editing for clarity: I’m for discussion of more regulation and caution, but conflating tons of disparate technologies still imo muddies the waters of public discussion
