What it's like to be a developer in 2024
  • Must be an old screenshot because there's now half a page of Gemini AI garbage at the very top now.

    Highly recommend using the uBlacklist extensions to filter out the garbage, spam, copycat, useless sites that somehow seem to always beat out legitimate sources in SEO.

    Netflix enshittification will continue until morale improves
  • What they don't advertise is how many of those "new" subscribers are actually from their "emerging" markets such as India, where a subscription price is peanuts. Also, im fairly certain these numbers are intentionally skewed to paint a better picture as they lump in all the "free" accounts people get with their other subscriptions.

    I get Paramount+ free with Walmart+. I get Hulu/Netflix/AppleTV with Tmobile Mobile. I get Max with ATT Fiber.

    I'm sure that these streaming companies have more new subscribers when they literally give it away and simultaneously strangling their existing consumers. It's more of a question of how long is it sustainable for them to raise prices every time they're not going to have a record quarter.

    Free alternatives to NextDNS?
  • This is what I do, but with Unbound dns on opnsense with dns forwarding to my business cloudflare account which gives me additional filtering options.

    Allows me to properly do dns caching and filtering in Unbound and then leverage cloudflare to do additional security threat filtering on top.

    Then it's just a matter of setting up a firewall rule to redirect any port 53 to the local Unbound dns and blocking all 853 traffic to ensure all iot devices aren't using their own hard-coded dns.

    Visits to piracy websites have increased 12% in the past four years
  • I can easily say that the amount of my friends and family that have become interested in my Emby setup has expontentially consistently increased every round that these streaming providers have increased their rates.

    The experience of launching 7 different streaming apps to find something, content constantly vanishing or moving platforms, and just an overall poor user experience coupled with doubling/tripling of each platforms costs....

    Russian missile attack kills 16 at Ukrainian market
  • How is being trans a conspiracy? 20 percent of hexbears user base is trans. I dont know why liberals feel so comfortable misgendering all of them when they say shit like this.

    I'm not even sure I want to know
  • Okay, and I'm still confused on where "faking LGBT support" implies anti-trans? You're literally seeing things that aren't there.

    Russian missile attack kills 16 at Ukrainian market
  • Hey, Hexbear's left nut here. Im trans btw. This is actually Ukraine's fault for accepting arms from the USA to defend themselves from Russian aggression. If the USA never offered arms to Ukraine, this could have been avoided.

    When are the liberals going to wake up to the reality that they are directly responsible for these deaths?

  • Tell me you're a tankie who doesn't know what communism is without saying it directly holy fucking shit

    Why are there so many brain dead takes in this thread? Who the fuck can possibly believe that communism can't be communism if it's "invited"?

    Are straws an unnecessary (but convenient) invention?
  • This is actually something my dentist recommended as it helps reduce the amount of acid and sugar from the soda from saturating your teeth.

    If you work remotely, your bosses are probably using software to track you. Here's how they'll catch you slacking off.
  • Add Veriato to the list. A lot of this type of Spyware is sold as "insider risk" or "behavior analytics" software.

    I, unfortunately, was forced at my last job to implement and maintain this program.
