  • Fair. I didnt check any of the other myths so some may well be myths. Just interesting to me that his opinion is stated as fact when its a bit of a grey area and one could easily interpret her to be the first programmer in some ways. Its not like a computer has to exist to write a computer program, for example, you can imagine a world where all computers are destroyed in an event but a surviving programmer can still write a computer program if you just handed them a stone tablet and charcoal. The non existence of a computer isnt a problem, and a computer program written in a textbook is also valid.

    The mac osx is linux certainly is a less controversial myth.

  • The video claims ada lovelace did not write the first computer program but it would kind of depend how you define what that is. If you check wikipedia it states:

    “During 1842–1849, Ada Lovelace translated the memoir of Italian mathematician Luigi Menabrea about Charles Babbage's newest proposed machine: the Analytical Engine; she supplemented the memoir with notes that specified in detail a method for calculating Bernoulli numbers with the engine, recognized by most of historians as the world's first published computer program.”

    From : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_programming_languages

    This would indicate its not a cut and dry as the youtuber suggests and also I would assume he is not a historian(no clue who he is) so its unclear why his opinion or definition of computer program should usurp that of most historians who would recognise a term may change over time and be less well defined initially when inspiring a new technology?

  • Pretty much how it went.

    How selling on FB marketplace goes for me semi regular. Never contacted me again after this:

  • Encrypted doesnt mean impossible to guess what it is. Your traffic to pornhub is encrypted. Your isp knows exactly what kind if content you are consuming when you download 1gb of data from pornhubs ip range.

  • Yes but changing audio and subs while technically could work is not well supported at this time.

  • Ah ok, to be fair Im an apple user.

  • Never replace the VPN dude

  • I didnt like it compared to uhf personally. Lacked polish imho.

  • Its has live tv and also video on demand. Kind of like how netflix works but with also a live tv selection in addition. That is what iptv is.

  • Im sure there are some that accept it. I dont remember all the options. You can just adk if they take it idk.

  • I dont understand your question. Can you elaborate?

  • 🫡

  • Sounds cool, I have never even heard of it!

  • The one I used accepted xrp, eth and bitcoin as well as a couple others I forget. I used xrp.

    I figured out how to make IPTV as easy as using Netflix so you dont have to

  • Huh, to me the boot still looks exactly the same

  • Im so sick of AI being inserted into every inane thing. Next it will be AI lego, AI gaming chair, AI toilet seat. Its just so fucking droll at this point. There is literally no technology I want to use less than your idiot pet AI project you just came up with. Everything now has AI in it yet nothing feels revolutionary or interesting. Its all just worse. Everything is just worse but with AI in it. Its just CEOs piling shit on top of shit on top of shit and expecting something beautiful to come out the other end. Drives me nuts.

  • As an instance owner I have defederated preemptively from threads. I take the same logic as ‘dont do a deal with the devil’ or ‘dont negotiate with terrorists’. Sure maybe you get lucky and win some but the odds are stacked against you. Instead I am more interested in cultivating slowly what lemmy is as a platform without some companies influence. We are doing ok right now. Ae are slowly growing right now. The only reason they are interested in us is because they see the potential. We dont need them to foster that potential. Lets focus on doing this on our own. For better or worse, at least we can say we did it our way for what we ultimately believed in if we stand on our own and do it.

    And as an aside. I dont need a seconder to agree with me or tell me this is the right decision. I have done enough and seen enough in my life to make this call on my own and stand by that decision. Its not relevant to me if anyone agrees with it.

  • No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    Follow up post on a question I asked

  • Yes obviously there is a problem here exactly like the reddit to lemmy problem. Just another obstacle but thats okay. Probably it is solvable.

  • I run a lemmy server and nobody pays anything to use it. It a public service by me for anyone.

    Just because some company hasnt figured out how to do it doesnt mean something cannot exist for the good of the public run by members of the public.

    Im not interested in conforming to imposed problems personally. Im interested in building resilient systems. That was why we invented technology as humans to begin with. Otherwise whats the point.
