Chrome in a can rule
  • An Unreal Engine app that just renders a Chromium page as far as I understand. Essentially using their own version of Electron made using the guts of one of the most complex game engines. Truly an unholy abomination.

  • The most popular Chinese keyboard app which is used by more than 450 million monthly users sends every key typed to Tencent in China.
  • It probably doesn't though. Obviously it's closed source making it harder to tell what's actually happening, but there's nothing stopping security analysts from looking at network usage and such. I would imagine that Google doesn't install a keylogger on every Android phone, not out of the goodness of their hearts, but because they don't want the bad publicity and lawsuits when it would inevitably be discovered.

  • I remember seeing
  • New York really needs to get their shit together. They have the most anomalous memory zones of anywhere in the country. I don't even get the logic of running the metro in a deja vu area. If this continues, they risk a mass memory incident where the entire city gets forgotten. Hell, I don't even remember the name of my cousin who lives there.

  • Chrulemium
  • One of Discord's targets is web, and I don't think there is another good UI toolkit that could maintain that target with easy feature parity. Some UI toolkits like Godot (which is a game engine) are capable of targeting web using a canvas element, but that's probably not going to be as performant or as native feeling as a standard website. They could also use a separate code base, but then there would be large feature parity issues. They could also drop the web target, but that might make it harder for users who don't have permission to install software or use Chrome OS.

    I feel like Discord is one of the examples where Electron makes sense. If only they allowed third party apps so desktop users who don't care about having every feature can have a better experience.

  • baba is rule
  • Reference to the video game Baba is You. I haven't played it but it but you essentially reprogram aspects of the game by moving blocks around. From what I understand, to win you must move whatever block "is you" to whatever block "is win" the player made itself "is win" leaving nothing for "is you" heanse being "youless" a pun on this meme normally saying clueless.

  • Why does firefox keeps using ~/.mozilla directory?
  • From what I understand, when the directory was added VR, MR, and 3d printing were just becoming more main stream. It is easy to see why some at Microsoft believed that an easy to use modeling applications like Microsoft 3d Builder would be as essential as Microsoft Paint. With hindsight, we can see that 3d printing is still too complicated and not useful enough for the average computer user and most VR users are either content to use models from others or to use more complicated tools like Blender.

  • The seriouspost state of the union. (aka what do we do now?) PLEASE READ.
  • It's a bit annoying that the Reddit mods are reopening the community after moving a bunch of people elsewhere. Now we have a Raddle, Lemmy, Discord, and Reddit 196 each with different moderators.

    Considering the Reddit has almost 50 times the number of subscribers as the Lemmy, I would assume that will be the most popular one, though we will probably have a higher percent of active users.

    I would hope that eventually the different mods of the different 196s could do some form of cross-site collaboration to have unity between the 196s but I don't know what that could entail. Maybe the next 196 r/place could shout out the Lemmy community for example.

  • I want a rulemote
  • I've honestly like my Chromecast as I can watch legally obtained media and pirated media on the same box. VLC also has native support for streaming to Chromecast. I remember it was a pain to setup for some reason, but I haven't had many issues since then.

  • Remember to check out the other local communities (rule)

    196 is by far the largest local community here, make sure to check out the other ones to help support the blahaj zone. Also, blahaj.zone hosts a Calckey instance which is like a Twitter alternative that can communicate with Mastodon. The Calckey seems to be under stress due to Twitter being down and a flood of new users, so be patient I guess.

    The Raddle 196 has been obsessed with Brickposting, so I decided to bring that here.

    Biggest 196 Rule

    We surpassed https://raddle.me/f/196 in terms of subscribers making us, as far as I know, the biggest, currently active 196 by number of subscribers (not counting 19684).

    we are the biggest of the Lemmy 196s I think
