Empathy [he/him]

I’ve been using Zoho mail with a namecheap domain and had no significant issues, besides being marked as spam maybe once or twice?

The advice I’m most scared not to follow as I get older: don’t dismiss everything that the younger generations say or do as being just a trend, and learn more about it.

Awesome, I’m looking for frameworks like this, thanks for sharing.

Anything that involves deception, which unfortunately seems to be most of marketing.

I don’t mind when people just try to get their product out there, just let it be known that it exists and does X thing differently or better. I hate when they mean to deceive. Something that is intended to deceive but isn’t technically a lie is not really better than a lie, to me.

Easiest solution IMO if you’re already using CloudFlare, even the free version: you can filter out certain countries. Otherwise, there’s probably other alternatives, even open source ones. Good terms to search for with your cloud provider or self hosted software may be middlewares, firewalls, serverless, edge functions, etc.

I’m pretty damn left leaning and I’ve never been called a tankie. I rarely even see anyone being called a tankie, except people who are defending authoritarians. The scope of the word “tankie” seemed generally pretty clear to me.

I thought that the line was that one supports owning the means of production and the other supports authoritarian governments, am I confused?

Why is it insane?

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.

If you are arguing against voting, then I’d like to know: do you think your chances are better if Trump wins, if Biden wins, or do you believe they are indistinguishable? I’m having trouble understanding this.

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.

Rust, because I’m lazy and I want a compiler that helps me out. Performance is a pretty neat bonus.

Insult to injury would be if they get Gameloft or some other mobile game factory to develop it.

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…

Which is the one with the snake logo?

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.

Two days ago, I wouldn’t have felt particularly strongly about this sentiment, but my last few comments yesterday had some interesting interpretations…

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.

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.
