US Senator moves to file Section 230 repeal in c/privacy@programming.dev

Besides the fact that I highly doubt this will ever pass...

I think if it did, it would greatly increase the adoption of decentralized platforms.

If websites become responsible for user-generated content, they will just refuse to allow user-generated content in the first place, leading to an explosion in alternative services that are not beholden to the actions of one company that could be compelled to act a certain way.

What is your definition of TV in this context? All of these are 55"+, some even show pictures of it in a living room...

Electron apps in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev
[–] refalo@programming.dev 7 points 1 week ago (5 children)

I think there is. I would say the connection is not that electron didn't exist before, but that now that ram prices are high, an increase in the number of electron apps becomes a problem because of the ram usage. Not that the usage wasn't a problem before, but that more people are using even more electron apps now than ever, hence their "industry standard" comment.

How would an independent investigation prove anything further?

There’s no proof anywhere that this is truthful, and no, pictures don’t lend credence.

What would you accept as proof then? Because to me it sounds like this logic implies nothing can be proven at all, ever.

Are there any operating systems with devs that don't have a history of openly abusing others? (programming.dev)
 

I would prefer to find an operating system I can support that is developed by people who are generally kind, however I find the behavior of many of the top Linux/*BSD devs to be... abhorrent.

Are there any real alternatives that are led by nicer people?

Rustdesk Server Pro allegedly violates AGPL license by not distributing source (github.com)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by refalo@programming.dev to c/opensource@programming.dev

The free community version of Rustdesk Server (a competitor to the Teamviewer remote access software) is AGPL licensed.

https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk-server

The paid, proprietary Pro version builds on top of the community edition by adding extra features such as user authentication and a web backend for administration.

There exists a repo for the pro server: https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk-server-pro

But it only contains install scripts and no actual source code of the application.

The github releases page of this repo however, contains the compiled code of the proprietary pro version and is available for anyone to download for free.

Analyzing the disassembly of the pro and open source binaries shows that the pro version is definitely based on the open source version.

The company previously associated with Rustdesk, Purslane Limited of the UK, is no longer in operation since 2023.

The project has no CLA and so the dozens of previous contributors still hold the copyright to their code and have not given permission for it to be used in a proprietary version.

There have been multiple requests for the source code of this pro version, but either there was no response or the issue was closed without comment.

EDIT: The repo owner has completely deleted the issue, here is a screenshot: https://0x0.st/KaqD.png

To me this just proves they know what they're doing is wrong.

ICPP – Running C++ in anywhere like a script (github.com)
 

Interpreting C++, executing the source and executable like a script.

  • Writing powerful script using C++ just as easy as Python;
  • Writing hot-loading C++ script code in running process;
  • Based on Unicorn Engine qemu virtual cpu and Clang/LLVM C++ compiler;
  • Integrated internally with Standard C++23 and Boost libraries;
  • To reuse the existing C/C++ library as an icpp module extension is extremely simple.

There is also a Qt helper module: https://github.com/vpand/icpp-qt

403 on API endpoints (lemmy.readme.io)
 

Tried to use several different API endpoints as described in the link, but they all return 403 with a cloudflare "Just a moment..." html reply. Even tried copying an existing jwt token from a working logged-in browser but the same thing still happens.

Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

curl -v --request POST \
     --url https://programming.dev/api/v3/user/login \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
     --data '{"username_or_email": "redacted", "password": "redacted"}'

Some comments not appearing? (programming.dev)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by refalo@programming.dev to c/meta@programming.dev
7 comments fedilink
 

I am noticing that some comments, which are coming from users on other verified (via /instances) federated instances, do not show up on a post. For example: https://programming.dev/post/13648105

Does not show this comment on it: https://lemmy.ml/comment/10803786

Any ideas why? I checked the modlog and the comment wasn't removed, and their post history to me does not look like someone that is likely to be banned from the instance, so I'm not sure what else it could be.

Is there a way to view the frontpage of another server, or get an RSS feed of another server's single community? (programming.dev)
 

My lemmy account is on the programming.dev instance but I use newsboat for RSS reading of some lemmy.ml communities, along with browsing the local homepage of lemmy.ml and some other instances in a regular browser. Is there a way to do either of these things from the programming.dev instance so that I can easily comment on posts without having to manually locate the same post by browsing to /c/foo@lemmy.ml on my own instance?
