Chrome in a can rule
  • An Unreal Engine app that just renders a Chromium page as far as I understand. Essentially using their own version of Electron made using the guts of one of the most complex game engines. Truly an unholy abomination.

  • The most popular Chinese keyboard app which is used by more than 450 million monthly users sends every key typed to Tencent in China.
  • Thank you for this. This is much more reasonable of a privacy critique than falsely claiming Google is using a keylogger. I heard Grammarly was doing something similar and deleted my account. I'm changed the settings, but will continue using Gboard because I like the combined emojis.

  • The most popular Chinese keyboard app which is used by more than 450 million monthly users sends every key typed to Tencent in China.
  • It probably doesn't though. Obviously it's closed source making it harder to tell what's actually happening, but there's nothing stopping security analysts from looking at network usage and such. I would imagine that Google doesn't install a keylogger on every Android phone, not out of the goodness of their hearts, but because they don't want the bad publicity and lawsuits when it would inevitably be discovered.

  • I remember seeing
  • New York really needs to get their shit together. They have the most anomalous memory zones of anywhere in the country. I don't even get the logic of running the metro in a deja vu area. If this continues, they risk a mass memory incident where the entire city gets forgotten. Hell, I don't even remember the name of my cousin who lives there.

  • Chrulemium
  • One of Discord's targets is web, and I don't think there is another good UI toolkit that could maintain that target with easy feature parity. Some UI toolkits like Godot (which is a game engine) are capable of targeting web using a canvas element, but that's probably not going to be as performant or as native feeling as a standard website. They could also use a separate code base, but then there would be large feature parity issues. They could also drop the web target, but that might make it harder for users who don't have permission to install software or use Chrome OS.

    I feel like Discord is one of the examples where Electron makes sense. If only they allowed third party apps so desktop users who don't care about having every feature can have a better experience.

  • baba is rule
  • Reference to the video game Baba is You. I haven't played it but it but you essentially reprogram aspects of the game by moving blocks around. From what I understand, to win you must move whatever block "is you" to whatever block "is win" the player made itself "is win" leaving nothing for "is you" heanse being "youless" a pun on this meme normally saying clueless.

  • Why does firefox keeps using ~/.mozilla directory?
  • From what I understand, when the directory was added VR, MR, and 3d printing were just becoming more main stream. It is easy to see why some at Microsoft believed that an easy to use modeling applications like Microsoft 3d Builder would be as essential as Microsoft Paint. With hindsight, we can see that 3d printing is still too complicated and not useful enough for the average computer user and most VR users are either content to use models from others or to use more complicated tools like Blender. This left 3d Builder and the 3d Objects directory to specifically novice 3d printer enthusiasts a small subset of total Windows 10 users.

  • Eruda on Lemmy pages?
  • I see it on both Firefox for Android and Firefox for Linux when browsing this instance. It does not appear on Lemmy.World for example. It also does not appear to use the browser's dev tools as I am able to open both Firefox's native dev tools and Eruda at the same time and they look different.

  • Remember to check out the other local communities (rule)

    196 is by far the largest local community here, make sure to check out the other ones to help support the blahaj zone. Also, blahaj.zone hosts a Calckey instance which is like a Twitter alternative that can communicate with Mastodon. The Calckey seems to be under stress due to Twitter being down and a flood of new users, so be patient I guess.

    New posts popping up in my feed

    When browsing through my feed, especially if I have "all" selected, posts that are usually a few minutes old start appearing at the top of my feed after everything has loaded. This makes things difficult to read as it scrolls down the page. Does anyone else have this problem? I don't know if this is a Lemmy issue or a blahaj.zone issue.
