on GrapheneOS defends use of AI for coding in c/technology@lemmy.world · 13 Sep 2026
Devs are lazy. Any productivity gains are negated by them simply choosing to work less and have more free time. Which is not a bad thing.

on Private German rocket makes history, reaches orbit from European soil in c/europe@feddit.org · 7 Sep 2026
Yes and no. For polar orbit you can’t get advantage of Earth’s rotation so you will need more energy. However in order to launch into a perfectly equatorial orbit you need to correct the inclination of the orbit to bring it to zero which takes a lot of energy (unless you launch from equator which Europe can do because of French Guiana). For polar orbits the location of the launch site doesn’t matter, you just wait for specific time of day and launch straight at north/south.

on OpenAI announces new slop generator GPT-6 Astra: Unfortunately not any better than the last one in c/technology@lemmy.world · 4 Sep 2026
AFAIK compilot just provides integration with visual studio and GitHub, it doesn’t have its own models. You pay through Microsoft to use use other companies’ models (like GPT or Claude). Though agent harness itself has a big impact on the performance of models.

Which ones don’t support it? It’s a very old format at this point. Every Android device in existence can work with it for example.

on What's something people should buy today instead of tomorrow? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml · 29 Aug 2026
You can self host xray or sing-box server (which implement many of the protocols) on a cheap vps. A lot of documentation is not great and is either in Chinese or Russian but it’s doable. There are also paid services offering vless with various degrees of reliability and sketchiness.
Of course the real challenge when living in an authoritarian country is how to pay for it. I.e.you need to buy a vps abroad. I guess it will be easier in USA then in countries under sanctions or with internal restrictions where people generally can’t use Visa or PayPal.

Protocols that mimic regular https traffic in a way that survives DPI. There are many variants like vless+reality+vision, naiveproxy, etc. It’s still cat-and-mouse game since government’s DPI systems are constantly improving.

Not if they start using DPI and block VPN protocols. VPNs that use OpenVPN, Wireguard and other non-censorship-resistant protocols (including Mullvad) don’t work in China, Iran or Russia.
Mullvad and other mainstream VPN providers only work in free countries where VPN is allowed.

on AliExpress runs silent WebAudio fingerprinting that breaks Bluetooth multipoint in c/technology@lemmy.world · 20 Aug 2026
Firefox tries but this is very hard to fight against. Most of the obvious holes were closed long ago. Now these fuckers use normal browser functionality that can’t be disabled and record how it subtly differs (in various ways like execution time of functions) between different combinations of browsers, OSes, hardware, etc. This information alone is enough to create a more or less unique fingerprint.
The only reliable solution is to completely get rid of client-side code execution like JavaScript and WebAssembly and return to static web pages. Which of course won’t happen.

on €2.99 or €3.49? Proton VPN's Pricing Test Exposed in c/technology@lemmy.world · 10 Aug 2026
Happens all the time with GitHub Actions when they update runner images. According to Microsoft, it’s “fundamentally unfixable”.
Companies that make “boring” games are often great workplaces, while those that make bestsellers (such as CD project red, rockstar, etc) are shitholes putting workers through hell and constant crunch.
