Apt, packages kept back: why and how to resolve it? by henfredemars in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Is this basically Ubuntu?

They do intentionally hold back packages based on a random value to do gradual rollouts. See below:

Could this be your issue?

Android 4.4 KitKat is truly dead, loses Play Services support by henfredemars in c/android@lemdro.id

One wonders if dropping Play Services support is enough to motivate a user who is already sufficiently determined to use a phone this outdated.

My dad: Unions are what's wrong with this country. I do everything I can to undermine them in the workplace.

Also my dad: They're abusing the workers! I can't even get a day off when I'm deathly ill without getting fired. Why won't anybody stand up for us?!

Don't even get me started on healthcare. He's a diabetic. You'd think it'd be a priority for him.

Wow! It was hardly worth it to begin with.

If an instance is just being slow I'll hop on to one of my other accounts, let alone down. My client makes that easy to do.

User-driven load balancing!

Twitter's valuation has been slashed by 47% at Ark Invest since Elon Musk took over by henfredemars in c/technology@lemmy.world

Only 47%? You'd be a fool to invest.

Who knew that removing functionality and limiting access to your product was the path to social media success.

finally there is a perfect monitor for Java programmers by henfredemars in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev

I have a monitor that's almost like this and it's surprisingly nice. It feels like a two-monitor setup. Two actual monitors would probably have been cheaper, but I got mine from work, so it wasn't a factor.

The real advantage of having two actual monitors is being able to flip one vertically for reading code.

When and where do the instance content rules apply? (lemdro.id)

I'm confused about where my content is stored and therefore when to apply the rules of my instance. Let's say for example that an instance says that NSFW is strictly forbidden. Which of the following is permitted then?

  • Can I subscribe to NSFW communities? Doesn't this make their server pull the content?
  • Can I post NSFW content on communities hosted elsewhere? Does this cause their server to host the NSFW content? It looks like images I upload are stored on the local instance.
  • Is a private message stored on the instance and subject to the rules? Do we have to follow the current instance, the remote instance, or both during the conversation?

I've been assuming that it only applies to local community content, but I'm not so sure if that's correct because I depend on the instance to provide all the content (I think).

Firefox now has speed parity with Chrome on the Speedometer benchmark by henfredemars in c/firefox@lemmy.ml
[-] henfredemars@lemdro.id 18 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Great, now implement modern exploit mitigations and sandboxing like Chrome uses. Firefox is objectively less resistant to exploitation. Some Firefox security has improved since the article was written, such as some sandboxing on Windows, but it's definitely not as mature.

I'm not writing that Firefox is insecure. Security is very important to Firefox! However, Chrome has had more work done in the realm of browser hardening.

They do, but Chrome is actively trying to remove support for most advanced ad-blocking capabilities. Further, Google has no financial incentive to make their browser hospitable to ad blockers as Google makes most of their money from advertising.

Google has pushed some half-baked ideas for how the web could work without having to block ads. Ad blocks aren't best buddies with Google.
