Just getting into JS
  • I want to add that, like you, I've become a big fan of restricting the numbers of ways to do something.

    IMO, It's more time wasted choosing, more time wasted reviewing, and makes it easier to overlook errors. I want more opinionated languages and frameworks.

  • How to create a bootable Linux USB drive
  • 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.

  • Trump’s Bizarre Rants Over Wind Power Are More Ominous Than You Think
  • For a while now, I kept seeing posts about the Israel/Palestine issue, and almost every time, when I looked at their poster's history, they were full of negative news against Israel and the US (often with a negative comment from the OP about the US, even when the article isn't about to the US), and often contained lots of positive news, comments and remarks about China and Russia. I find this very suspicious, but I may be overly cynical.

    I've almost only been seeing this on lemmy.ml and lemmy.ca. Perhaps I'm imagining it, but I also feel like I've seen these accounts promote not voting during the next election.

    I started tagging these accounts a few months ago and I frequently see their posts on the front page.

  • Why I Lost Faith in Kagi
  • I've been using both Perplexity and Kagi for searching things, and it's working out pretty well for me. The main thing that I find Kagi useful for is filtering to Fediverse results (which tends to be mostly Lemmy threads).

    It's pretty expensive though...

  • Struggling with best practices on NextJS SSR and Cookies
  • For both frameworks, the directory structure controls the URL unless there's an exception I'm unaware of.

    One way to forward the cookie may be to read cookies from the API response headers and write them using the following documentation: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cookies

  • Based
  • Perhaps I'm being a bit too optimistic, but access to information isn't the same now as it was in the 20th century.

    Although we have a lot of false information to filter through out there, we don't have to rely on what's available at the local library or what our friends and family believe. I hope that it's going to be increasingly difficult to spread misinformation and fear mongering.

  • the Second Beehaw Community Survey
  • 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.

  • US lawmakers want a TikTok sale or ban, but China’s ByteDance won’t give up without a fight
  • I was wondering whether what felt like common sense to me was the same as what felt like common sense for others, and I see that between us it's not.

    I'm not gonna bother trying to argue with you, I doubt it would be productive in any way, I'm not gonna change your mind. Additionally, you've put a lot of words into my mouth and inferred that I believe a lot of things that I really don't believe, which is a bit upsetting.

  • US lawmakers want a TikTok sale or ban, but China’s ByteDance won’t give up without a fight
  • If it were the US vs another democratic country, I would feel like that too.

    I'm particularly concerned with China (and Russia) because:

    • They are not a democratic country.
    • They do not have freedom of speech like most countries
    • As far as I perceive, they are generally enemies of well-intentioned countries.

    I might have a different perspective though. I'm a fairly recent US immigrant from Canada.

    Edit: I'd like to add, my tone may come across wrong over written text, I'm just trying to understand people's overall perspective and whether mine is different, I'm not trying to argue and I'm not upset at you nor any of the commenters I've seen on similar posts.

  • US lawmakers want a TikTok sale or ban, but China’s ByteDance won’t give up without a fight
  • I'm a bit worried about the amount of people I see making this argument whenever I see posts about a TikTok ban/acquisition.

    I'm getting the impression that, either:

    1. People don't believe there's (significant) Chinese propaganda on TikTok.
    2. People believe there would be (significant) US propaganda on TikTok following an acquisition.
    3. Given the choice, people would rather see Chinese propaganda than US propaganda.

    Am I correct? Is there a nuance I'm missing?

    I can understand concerns over point #2 here, but #1 and #3 seem wild to me.
