The grocery store I often go to had these barcode scanners you could borrow at the entrance and scan your stuff as you go, along with scales on which you could print a barcode sticker for the stuff you pay by weight.

Once you were done, you’d scan a QR card at the self-service checkout to upload all the stuff you scanned, then pay.

It was awesome, you could just pack as you go. Unfortunately they scrapped the project once they found out that the amount of theft was significantly higher with this system. So yeah, we can’t have nice things 😒

I can see the appeal for it in apps like F-Droid and Briar where you might want to share an app that may not be available because of an Internet outage (accidental or deliberate).

EDIT: lmao cope harder, spammer. Makes it easier to find your alts.

Can you extract your cookie and pass it to yt-dlp?

That way you can’t work around Microsoft getting a copy of your work no matter what.

Would you say that your game can be played entirely locally of you can’t save your game while offline?

I cannot fathom even using a software that ties a critical feature such as the ability of saving your work to an Internet connection.

At that point, if your software relies on the Internet to accomplish an important task, it doesn’t matter if the app is native or runs some code in your browser if some critical features depends on someone else’s system to work as expected.

Right, I think I found a lot of stuff for v3, but not that much for v4 and almost nothing for v5. I still managed to figure it out and I have a decent template now.

The worst is trying to find which version a post on StackExchange is about…

Just having an example with the most common tasks (ex: creating registry keys, registering DLLs or Fonts, etc) and having some comments in there with the common pitfalls to avoid would really go a long way.

I do appreciate v5 in a way, now that you don’t need a preprocessing step for the file, that you can use a wildcards for a directory, and you can just build a package in a single step is a great improvement. Maybe I was spoiled with Nullsoft and Inno Setup in the past 😬

I had to build a Windows Installer package using WiX Toolset, and v5 came out maybe 3-4 months at that point and the structure compared to v4 is quite different… that was fun trying to build something with lackluster documentation compared to v4. I gave a shot to ChatGPT, etc to help, but all it could spit out was a mess.

He’s way more polite than he was in past tho.

If you not the only one holding the encryption key, you can’t guarantee your data cannot be snooped.

Either encrypt your stuff using GPG, or use something like Cryptomator.

Personally I stick to relatively legal IPTV playlists, such as https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv

Straight and to the point, no bullshit.

The only place where I struggle is finding the perfect player. On PC I use iptvnator and on Android I use IPTV Pro. They work well enough, but I wish I had a universal app that could carry the configuration between devices.

It was bound to happen, and one less reason to use shortlinks.

I mean if you specify GMT, one could assume that you need to apply DST during summer, while UTC is garanteed to be static.

To be fair, there’s a slight difference between GMT and UTC: GMT becomes BST (in the UK) during summer, while UTC doesn’t follow Daylight Saving Time and is tied specifically to the atomic clock.

Time to drink

It simply uses the “Not Hotdog” algorithm from Silicon Valley.

On a more serious note, it likely does on-device pattern recognition, similar to how other apps like TIDY works and will put a warning/blur if the image matches specific keywords.

Not sure why they didn’t just merge the capability into the Private Compute Services app instead.

Pressing “Join Group” just makes my Signal app crash on Android 🥴

It’s only illegal if it’s enforced

There’s CryptPad that has a form feature which you could use for surveys.

On the other hand, NOT using MFA on an online password manager is just poor opsec.
