Reply to Continuing to Protect our Users in Kazakhstan. (Apple, Google and Microsoft will block the use of the Kazakhstan's root CA certificate within their browsers) by Rambler
What do I trust even less than Kazakhstan's government demanding residents use their key escrow? The oligarchy of internet control telling people which key escrow they have to use instead!

Reply to Firefox's tracking protection whitelisted Google's trackers. "Mozilla Is Rolling Out Redirect Tracking Protection In Firefox In A Somewhat Concerning Fashion." by Rambler
Mozilla gets basically all their money from Google, which is humping a competing browser. ( https://www.ianbicking.org/blog/2020/11/firefox-was-always-enough.html ) So when Massa calls, they better come.

This not being recent doesn't make it any less interesting. Thanks for sharing.
The most troublesome thing is that it's impossible for competitors to emerge in the browser market. So everyone is more or less fucked on that front.

Yeah it's a few months old but I had just learned about this so figured I'd share.

Reply to Vim Tutorial: Tips to Write Code Faster by Rambler
The simpler sales pitch is that vim can do everything you can and cannot imagine. Just do a search for what you want to accomplish and find out how it is done.
First time users should just go through vimtutor, which will start vim with a document that shows you all the basic functionality and let's you do all these things, so you can build muscle memory.
As for the things vim can do that you cannot even imagine: you can type stuff in vim, let's say text_A, then undo this and write something else, let's say text_B. If you now decide text_A is really where it's at, in normal editors you're fucked, but vim can actually get it back: with this plugin

Reply to comment by Rambler in In 2021, we need to fix America’s internet. We pay twice as much as Europe for high speeds, assuming we can even get them. by Rambler
In Norway you get 1TB/mo on your mobile phone for that kinda money. It's fast and you can use it not only at home, but everywhere in the country and internationally. Though, maybe not in every country. Also, it's more like $40 to $50 a month.

Reply to comment by Mustard in Big list of working I2P Network sites/links by Rambler
Sheesh, please bin the Nazis and racists into their own category, instead of "Adult/NSFW." Nazis are real boner-killers.
Ha, yeah... I wasn't quite for sure where to put them. But I figured labeling them NSFW was appropriate other than adding them under personal sites or services.

I'm not entirely sure, so but I dropped the link to this thread in IRC so perhaps you'll get an answer soon.

I'm paying $60/mo for slow rural wifi with a 50gb/mo data cap...

Reply to comment by abralelie in Any MuWire users here? How's your experience been? by abralelie
Yeah, it's similar. Though, it's just a file sharing program. Nothing amazing at this point. But, it does work and it's i2p specific. It's likely got the most files of any of the i2p file sharing programs out there.

Would it be possible to require a time delay for upvotes and posts for new accounts? Even an hour or two would be enough to make it a pain to do this sort of thing.

This is one of the issues everyone agrees on, but nothing gets done because corporations have vast sums of money to donate to politicians.

Reply to GNOME Shell UX plans for GNOME 40 by Rambler
Since I've started using tiling window managers like i3wm and dwm, I'll never be able to go back to something else.

You pay twice as much if you get a really good deal. Usually it's like five times as much. About twenty bucks gets you unlimited high speed internet here. How much are you paying?

I never was a big fan of Gnome to begin with. Something about the classic taskbar and menu will always hold a place in my heart. It's why all my Linux devices use either XFCE or MATE desktop environments.

Reply to comment by Rambler in Starting Sunday, cable companies can no longer ‘rent’ you the router you already own by Rambler
Likely, I block too much junk and to read it I'd either have to go trial and error which garbage to greenlight or go to archive.org. I default to the archive option for sites I don't think I'll be returning to soon.

I like the idea. Maybe it could bring some people back to IRC, since it seems to be dying a slow death of continued irrelevancy.

Same as normal, like browsing this site, you just choose which network you want to interact with when configuring your IRC client.
