For the vast majority of projects it seems like the disadvantages of these highly complex RPC systems far exceed the benefits... Not just in terms of security but also the reduced observability compared to simple JSON..

Good news! The YouTube channel has been restored.

The creators of Maa Ka Doodh, a famous documentary about the dairy industry in India have alleged that their channel has been deleted under false pretenses. [1]

Does YouTube really delete channels globally, even at a government's request?

It is still available here: https://maakadoodh.com

Looks great. I love ideas that increase efficiency and reduce electricity usage.

Only nitpick is that the home page says "cross-browser" at the bottom but the extension is only available for Chrome..

One can only hope that after their recent falling-out the Trump administration will re-energise the EPA...

Doesn't "DEI" basically mean treating others nicely?

Not sure if sarcasm but why don't we go with a reasonable middle ground ;)

I think you're at least partially right - not everything but a lot of data is not useful - wasting money, bandwidth, electricity, etc. There should be more dynamic controls over what gets logged/filtered at the client-side..

We're stuffed because of a broken economic system where these companies can get away without paying for the externality costs of damaging our environment.. If only "Conservative" politicians would actually care about conserving our environment!

And of course the costs do not affect everyone equally, especially in the short term - the people living in these areas tend to already be poor - like in Memphis were Musk's xAI seems to have turned on gas power without permits & controls.[0] Conveniently for xAI, Musk has also enthusiastically gutted the EPA.

I have a lot of admiration for the WSL1-style approaches & hope they bear fruit. The major problem with WSL2 & Android VMs is that they're a pain in an already virtualised environment - there's then a need for nested virtualisation.

There's something seriously wrong is you can't open Chrome + Firefox even with 8GB of RAM...

I'm still happily using an 8GB M1 running Firefox in OSX + Firefox/VSCode/NodeJS in a Debian VM. Lots of tabs open. Both OSX and Debian can use compressed RAM.

In my experience Clevo (sold by e.g. Metabox) are really good

The vast majority of people can meet all their nutritional needs with peas & other vegan foods. Plus, the extra calories & cholesterol in eggs is actually detrimental to many people's health. Peas also have beneficial nutrients like fibre which is absent in eggs.

Do you realise how much more energy is required for commercial egg production compared to peas? Plus peas aren't given antibiotics. And whisking an egg is also a processing stage.

I'd love to use this but a key problem seems to be that they don't get updated as soon as a security fix is released, which for browser engines is quite often...

For now veganism is outside the Overton window but this is changing, and it needs to, because it's actually much better & cheaper than ovo-lacto vegetarianism even via a "better" commercial farm - they still get rid of the newly born males, they usually get rid of the older "less productive" females, feeding animals is still an inefficient use of land & energy, and cows still generate methane..
