Hello @eff@mastodon.social 👋

The same reaction whenever I look at haskell. A “pure” language with an escape hatch that has a fancy name. Once you open the escape hatch, you can write entirely impure code in Haskell and never see a pure function in your life. So much for “pure”.

Copyright is a mistake. It shouldn’t exist.

Then a lot of proprietary code cannot be copyrighted 🤷 Honestly, if AI destroys copyright, it’s the best thing it can do.

And we have already seen how it can be uses against proprietary software: write specs, implement code that fulfills specs, 🎉, closed source is now opensource . Amazing.

There seems to be a correlation between doing productive things for fun and higher intelligence and education

Correlation does not mean causation. Many people do productive things because they can. And being productive is also very dependent on definition.

If you’re uneducated, unlucky enough to grow in a household where ideas aren’t valued and failure is mocked or success belittled, and of course poor, chances are great you will not do much in life. However, if you’re poor, surrounded by motivated individuals who thrive to be successful and push you to be educated, and they do what they van to get you into school, there’s a good chance you will succeed.

The biggest problems are lack of access to good education and opportunity. “High intelligence” is just an excuse to confuse success with intelligence and hard work. That’s not how our society works.

UBI would change opensource forever

I thought veracrypt was dead. Surprised to hear about it again.

CSS sucks because you dont bother memorising it

There FTFY

Feels like CSS: now you have to know which components are already accessible and what aren’t. In CSS you need to memorise a bunch of stuff without understanding it either.

What does it have to do with algorithms? It’s search terms. Unless the search terms are aggregated and guessed, algorithms shouldn’t matter.

Thank you for finding that and providing a source!

So there will always be 100 and always 0 and that can be 100 searches in that time period or 1 billion. It’s not very useful unless you’ve seen absolute numbers, IMO.

What’s the y axis? No idea what “interest” means

I wasn’t aware of WHIP, thank you. Last time researched this there was only LL-HLS which was terrible and when I tried Steam for streaming, it was using RTMP with a 6 second latency.

However, while broadcast box looks nice, it seems to require significant setup to stream.

I don’t know what OS OP is using but on Linux, you can start a video call with Jami (or anything really), then use qpwgraph to send the game audio to the calling application. 2 steps, start call, send game audio to call.

But it’s up to OP what they want to do. It’s been a while, but Jami might support sharing system audio now. Their feature list includes “media sharing” in the call features.

Mais surtout, il ne faut pas se tromper de combat : /e/OS permet à ses utilisateurs d’échapper à la collecte massive de données personnelles qui s’opère dans les smartphones du marché, pas d’aider les pédocriminels à passer sous les radars de la justice. Autrement dit : /e/OS n’est pas un système avec un objectif de sécurité durcie et qui serait utile seulement à des personnes ciblées.

English translation (by deepl)

But above all, we must not confuse the issue: /e/OS allows its users to avoid the massive collection of personal data that takes place on smartphones currently on the market—it is not designed to help child sex offenders evade the law. In other words: /e/OS is not a system designed for enhanced security that would be useful only to specific individuals.

@gael@mastodon.social Could you please explain why you keep bringing up the example of pedophiles and and child sex offenders? It’s giving the impression that you’re equating people desiring high security to pedophiles.

TL; DR use Jami

You want something to stream low latency, don’t you? Honestly, that means peer to peer, not centralised (I. E streaming to a server which then streams to your friend). OBS will use large buffers (multiple seconds) that are then sent out to the server.

I would suggest using Jami. It’s peer to peer chat with peer to peer video and audio calls. It’s the simplest solution I’ve found. Matrix has MatrixRTC (or whatever they call it) but you will need the Element client and will need to activate RTC in the “labs”. Not sure if it’s in the stable build or the beta.

Signal can also stream peer to peer (webrtc like every other) but it compresses a lot and encrypts on top of it. You could have low latency but you will have visual artefacts and there’s no way to tweak the settings.

Please provide the video with the question included. This looks cut to fit the anti murena narrative that GrapheneOS has been screaming about for years. It’s the same tactic Republicans use against others: cutting only a bit that sounds bad when taken out of context.
