  • I have a similar-ish problem, but on qutebrowser. If I interact, I get a similar text overlay of a piefed homepage, so i have to reload the page and then it does not happen. problem is that i can not reliably recreate it, with each page it is pretty much 70-30 odds of happening vs not happening. never got it in librewolf (firefox). thought it was a caching related issue, so cleared all of site data, also cleared all qutebrowser data once too. relevant things in config are dark mode, and a css to make backround black and text white (i can share it, just do not think it is very relevant because i have seen it happen without that css)





  • i am not a web dev, so please correct me if i am wrong, but a runtime is essentially a specific version of browser in some capacity, more comparable to blink in some sense (minus the html+css parts). so there is a js engine (v8 or firefox’s spider if i am not wrong) and that essentially just executes the js, but it needs stuff around it (think for example io or cli interface). none of the run times implement independent js engines, as they are really hard, but surrounding stuff is relatively easier, and likes of deno/node/bun implement that.

    And as other commenter said - it has other stuff too, for example a package manager, transpiler (most common would be converting typescript to js i think), bundler (just makes a bundle kinda like java jar), etc.






  • It is kinda wierd that gotosocial is more expensive than cheapest mastodon tier, considering it is computationally lighter (atleast that is what it’s intended goal was iirc). Maybe they can experiment around reducing the system usage for it (maybe cut in half).

    For me personally - I am interested, but cost is high for me. if I could do something like 20-30$ for full year (so 2-2.5$ bucks a month), that would be great. I know that is a lot less, but for plebs like me - do not even get me a domain name (and save a 1-12 bucks a year), just a subdomain works (for example user.fedihost.co or something), just a gotosocial instance (maybe 0.5 to 1 gig ram or at most 2 gigs. 1 shared virtual cpu, 5 gibs storage, and even a cdn is not required). I think that would be close to bare minimum system usable, and also within reach for most people (i live in a third world country, even 5 bucks is like a days work for more than half the nation.)






  • Some people suggest india pak “skirmish”. I am an indian, and it was neither war, and us did nothing.

    I am not going into why skirmish happened, and not taking any sides here (for pakistan or for india), so i do not come out biased.

    We heard “trump did something” 2-3 days after there was a cooldown. And no indian govt official has ever agreed to trumps claims.

    on the other hand (some may claim i am biased against pak gov here, specifically millitary), us has always been interested in pak (they got into afghanistan from pak, they kinda want to do that again).

    I have nothing but love for general pak public, we are same people, mostly are mutually intelligible, and got divided mostly because brits and some “religious” leaders (from both sides) did not like the other side.






  • i beg your pardon for following rudeness, but did you read the above message? I completely trust you that you tasted a mushroom and spat it, to live and tell the story to me, but what you are saying is that a certain mushroom requires a certain amount to kill a person. firstly i do not know how was that number found (as in ingestion or directly shooting it’s extract to blood). when you ingest, you do not absorb anything, and there is a potential that directly exposed will require a lesser critical dose. and beyond that - toxins do not require digestive pathways.

    the number is most likely calculated by measuring the amount present in a failed organ (in a dead patient mostly) and scaling to whole body and asking from surrounding folks how much they ate, and then matching with toxin concentration in mushroom. this lethal amount is not same for direct blood stream exposure.

    you possibly want to say something like - mushrooms do not have enough to kill you just from touch or chew/spit, but not will. will suggests that there is some specific reason that either mushrooms can not produce enoug toxin to kill you from touch.

    I would still stand by my original statment that it is stupid to expose contact or chew/spit. I am not saying you are stupid, I hav willingly tasted/sniffed many chemicals (not safe ones), but that is more of a decision (as in for learning purposes like you did for taste or for fun(that i do mostly)). It does not make that activity safe.
