etsy.com too
Hani1337··on Fastly CDN is down (affecting Reddit, GitHub, SO, ...)
The decentralized web is coming

I was including France in the group in that statement

No but we have a lot of terrorists

I think my point, even if I'm not well educated to formulate it in scientist language, is that measuring everything in absolutes is fucking up with science's accuracy. Speed is a human construct to triangulate distance over time. Light doesn't have speed. Light is a constant that defines speed.

A lot of things we think we know and take for granted is actually slightly inaccurate when the scale shifts drastically. That's because we focus on absolutes instead of relative values. Numbers are a human construct, scientists have forgotten that. Because our brain can easily add 2+2 doesn't mean it's a technique that scales infinitely and remains true. Do we have proof of numbers stability through scale or do we just say there's an "infinite" amount of them to make it easier on the explaining?

ps: pi is another of these constants that rule the laws of the universe. We can't really explain why but it does. It's the same principle as for light. Constants are true not matter the scope, because everything is relative. Our numbers can't truly represent that because additions are inherently flawed when the scale shifts. Everything that adds recursively is actually a multiplication array, and thinking of it as an addition is inaccurate.

tldr: our math needs to evolve to follow an OoP logic instead of being stuck at a human scale perspective.

Hani1337··on Google finally revealed how much personal data they collect in Chrome
My biggest privacy concern with Google is how search result URLs contain user identifiers.
Hani1337··on Telegram is booming but needs advertisers and $700M soon
We live in a world where you can find almost any computer service for free. Not everyone is like lazy americans willing to take the credit card out at any road bump. They will find a service that does the same for free. I can barely convince my friends with that mindset to come to Telegram when they already majorly use Messenger. Not only do they need an incentive to switch to Telegram, adding a fee to use the platform would simply kill the app. There are many ways to monetize services that don't require users to pay just to join, and this is the way forward even though it's meeting resistance from companies, it will win in the long run. Don't fight it, work with it and learn to take advantage of it instead.

I really like Telegram, if only I could convince anyone to actually use it.
Hani1337··on Netflix considers crackdown on password sharing
If they lock me out of the account I share with my friend (i'm using his account for years, before that he used mine for years) I'm done subbing to them. There are other ways to watch content.

We think we know a lot, but we ignore a lot to get those certainties ;)

Is it so difficult to add satellite tracking to planes?

e-squatters?
Hani1337··on Ultra-weak gravitational field detected
How many more decades until scientists realize chemical bonding is molecular scale gravity? I've claimed for years galaxies and molecules operate with the same logic only with a different scale. The laws of physics are dependent on scale, it's stupid to try and find rules anchored in answers figured out with absolute math because it's all fucking relative.
Hani1337··on TripSit wiki
For what it's worth, I find https://psychonautwiki.org/wiki/Main_Page to be the best wiki out there for this stuff.
Hani1337··on Search engine startup from former Google Ads boss raises $40M
I'm not gonna hand out money to have my search history tied to my identity lmfao, who is the target demographics?
Hani1337··on UK 'Right to repair' law to come in this summer
No one's gonna mention they're literally just copying the EU law that was passed last week?
Hani1337··on Less than 20% of the world's population now live in a “free” country
Every country should create its own region where people who don't want to be under government's rule can leave to. It's too easy to say 'leave your country if you don't like it'. It's the same or worse everywhere else. There's no free land anymore. Almost everything livable space on Earth is claimed by governments.
Hani1337··on I want a computer that I own
pgp, 2fa, tails os. what more do you want?
Hani1337··on “User engagement” is code for “addiction”
I think there should be regulations on this aspect of programming/marketing. Sadly it's hard to monitor, and it's the best way to be successful in today's market.

"Hey kids, wanna end up in jail? Let's learn to hack"
Hani1337··on Please support Web Monetization if you want less ads on the web
Why would I want less ads? It's created a great economy online and it helps promote people who put effort into learning to utilize the web better. It's driving the web forward. Fuck a paid model, I don't want my online activity tracked by bank informations and payments history.

The current model is fine. We just need fairer money transactions instead of the giants taking too much of a cut.
