|
||
|
|
<p>What a great way to start a list of commented links by showing Google being...
|
||
|
|
well, Google.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can hide ads that don't interest you. But it seems certain ads can't be
|
||
|
|
hidden, can't be skipped and don't react like normal ads.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>In a way, it's fine that Google decides that, if someone pays enough, they
|
||
|
|
have higher privileges in their system. After all, Google (Alphabet actually)
|
||
|
|
is a company, and it can decide how things work on their system and how they
|
||
|
|
are going to make money out of their system. On the other hand... that's what
|
||
|
|
we keep pointing over and over: Google doesn't <em>care</em> what goes in their
|
||
|
|
systems; Google doesn't <em>care</em> what happens in their system.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>And that's why a company that have that much effect in everyone's life
|
||
|
|
shouldn't exist in the first place.</p>
|
||
|
|
<h2 id="google-is-apparently-taking-down-all-most-fediverse-apps-from-google-play"><a href="https://qoto.org/@freemo/104765288863293481">Google is apparently taking down all/most fediverse apps from Google play</a></h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>Again, Google is free to do whatever they want when their system.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>But here is the thing: ActivityPub is a protocol that allows any server to
|
||
|
|
share activities to other servers that implement that protocol. It is not tied
|
||
|
|
to any kind of activity, but the most common one at this point is
|
||
|
|
microblogging (think Twitter). So far, so good.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Whatever people do in their systems is up to them.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Because the protocol is open, anyone can implement anything with it, including
|
||
|
|
clients for, say, Android.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>In the early days of the protocol, some bad servers appeared, but people
|
||
|
|
managing moderated servers took care and decided to not federate with those
|
||
|
|
bad servers, basically leaving the bad apples out of the basket.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>So yeah, there are bad services in the ActivityPub universe, and they are
|
||
|
|
being ignored by the vast majority of other services. Should Google ban Chrome
|
||
|
|
or Firefox from the Play Store 'cause there is content like Breitbart on the
|
||
|
|
internet?</p>

|
||
|
|
<p>Haskell is one of those fancy languages I'm trying to get a grasp of.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>I can say that I could understand half of this, before the complexities of the
|
||
|
|
syntax throw me off. But I intent to read it again (and probably <em>again</em>) till
|
||
|
|
I get it.</p>

<h2 id="haskell-mini-patterns-handbook"><a href="https://kowainik.github.io/posts/haskell-mini-patterns">Haskell mini-patterns handbook</a></h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>Speaking of Haskell, here are some patterns (really small ones) in that
|
||
|
|
language.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Maybe to be consumed after understanding the language.</p>

<h2 id="multiple-thread-pools-in-rust"><a href="https://pkolaczk.github.io/multiple-threadpools-rust/">Multiple Thread Pools in Rust</a></h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>Serendipity: I was thinking in ways to improve my dhash calculator, using
|
||
|
|
threads pools and queues to check for files and dhash calculation for each
|
||
|
|
image.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>And then this shows up.</p>

|
||
|
|
<p>A new logging system for Rust, targeting high efficiency. But it seems small
|
||
|
|
and simple enough for any system.</p>

|
||
|
|
<p>A little experiment on how to predict things. After a while, I couldn't make
|
||
|
|
it drop below 75%.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>This proves how easy it is to predict behaviors the more data you have about
|
||
|
|
someone. Also could explain how you suddenly start seeing ads for something
|
||
|
|
you just spoke with someone: They have so much data about you that they can
|
||
|
|
predict, with some pretty good accuracy, what will interest you in the future.</p>

|

|
|
<p>Mozilla may seem in bad shape these days, but we can't forget how they did
|
||
|
|
something like "Track THIS", which will flood tracking sites with bad content
|
||
|
|
about someone, so they can't predict <em>anything</em> right.</p>
