Is this even detectable? Doesn’t it just show up as a regular mouse and keyboard?

TiDB is another option in this space which claims to be even cheaper and auto-scaling than PlanetScale.

I think they're talking about just the murder-for-hire. It may have just been undercover agents the whole time and no murders actually occurred.

Strange that issue types is only available if your repository is part of an organization. Why is this not configurable at the repository level?

GitHub Actions are also failing with 500 (gateway timeout) errors when trying to fetch the repository.

You have to click into it as it's not visible from the preview.

I was skeptical but I just opened it and the UI does look cleaner and less bloated than X. However, UI is fixable and what matters more is content. There needs to be a compelling reason to switch, and I don't see one yet.

New comment by jxi in "Is Telegram really an encrypted messaging app?"

jxi — Sun, 25 Aug 2024 21:34:43 +0000

I haven't used Signal in a while, so I probably misremember some of what it supported. I just looked it up though and Signal's delete feature seems to leave a "This message was deleted" placeholder like what Facebook Messenger does, which looks a bit annoying to me (https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360050426432-De...). Telegram just directly removes the message for everyone.

Signal has probably the worst UX of any messaging app. It also used to require sharing phone numbers to add contacts, which imo is already a privacy violation.

Telegram is fast, responsive, gets frequent updates, has great group chat, tons of animated emojis, works flawlessly on all desktop and mobile platforms, has great support for media, bots, and a great API, allows edits and deleting messages for all users, and I really like the sync despite it not being e2e.

I actually worked on this part of the Google Search infrastructure a long time ago. It's just JSC with a bunch of customizations and heuristics tuned for performance to run at a gigantic scale. There's a lot of heuristics to penalize bad sites, and I spent a ton of time debugging engine crashes on ridiculous sites.

New comment by jxi in "The Threads Creator Paradox"

jxi — Sun, 14 Jul 2024 02:13:43 +0000

Nobody has ever linked me or talked to me about something on Threads, and the only reason I know it still exists is because of annoying ads on Instagram.

Is it a ghost town or am I just not the target demographic (what is the target demographic)?

Threads is far from mainstream and just filled with spam and OnlyFans spammers at this point.

Macs have always had great battery life and the Apple Silicon chips took it to another level. It remains to be seen if any Windows laptop can actually consistently achieve their marketed battery life given Windows’ terrible track record for power management and proper sleeping.

New comment by jxi in "Telegram has launched a pretty intense campaign to malign Signal as insecure"

jxi — Mon, 13 May 2024 12:22:01 +0000

That was my impression too, that this was more of a thread to slander Telegram than anything.

The main leg that Signal has to stand on is it uses standard encryption, but it has all kinds of shady components like it used to require sharing phone number to contact someone, and the cofounder Moxie launched some MOB crypto scam which went to 0 and he has now quit the project too.

If anything this makes me seriously rethink my use of homebrew. I already had security-related concerns around it, but the fact that he launched this weird crypto thing that's going to cause a lot of spam on GitHub is pushing me even further away.

Don't you need a built step to transpile Typescript anyway?

I agree, but there's an army of bots that will vote down and try to silence any points like this.

I simply don't use anything related to Meta and tell others to do the same.
