I started using it about 8-9 years ago at this point, back when the options were FB messenger or whatsapp. Both were trash and limited in comparison.

I only use signal for work but I find the app clunky and unintuitive. Telegram, being a somewhat privacy nightmare, but not connected to a big data broker company, also gives me the ability to search through a decade of messages to find an old joke, a picture shared, etc.

Telegram is simple enough that I can tell my aging gen x parents and apathetic zoomer siblings to install it and there’s nearly zero friction to them logging in and receiving messages. It solved the problem of being added to a new fucked up imessage groupchat every other week as an android user.

It’s not great if security is your main goal for organizing, but it has a better user experience than most chat apps. Especially if cross platform chatting is important to you.

Ah yes, the despicable crime of selling bootlegs can only be punished by permanent service to a billion dollar company. Makes sense.

I thought blocking nsfw posts on mobile was bad enough until I tried viewing a totally SFW subreddit that was small enough to not be “verified”. Straight up didn’t let me view a subreddit that wasn’t essentially approved without logging in or using the app.

Idk how it works in china, is the wire coming from the wall a thin sorta stiff wire? or is it a thicker wire(5-10mm across) that is bendy?

If the latter, you can just plug that ethernet cable into your own router.

If its a fiber cable then I dont know if you can have your own ONT.

Is your service fiber? Is your router a combined ONT and router? If its not and you have an ONT serving ethernet to the router, you can just plug your own router in.

You said it’s through china mobile so is it a cell modem/router?

I do think that the highway emphasis is important, as you’re typically traveling faster and you don’t want to take your eyes off the road more than you have to. Having the bright yellow highway for things like complex offramps has been helpful to me in the past. I’ll just have to see how it goes.

looking again, the greater contrast for smaller roads is nice.

Why would you change the roads to grey from yellow? What? What is the primary thing your eye is seeking when using a GPS app?

I should take another look into it. Thanks!

Web assembly isn’t quite the same as a js frontend though, is it?

It’s typically for complex single page apps and has some weirdness with normal usecases, no?

I could be wrong but I was looking into it a few months ago and it seemed immature.

I love rust but this requires killing the web app and using basic html. which i’m also pro.

Its not dead simple but its also not extremely complex.

I’m currently working with some interns and there’s just concepts they were never exposed to. Without decent mentoring, git can be difficult because a lot of the workflow does come with experience.

That being said everyone needs to stop acting like its an impossible task to properly do source control. There is some truth that if you don’t care enough to do your source control, you don’t care enough to write decent code. Its not a moral failing, just take some pride in your craft.

Show the newbies how to care and they’ll care enough to want to do it right. Measure twice, cut once and all that.
