i’m certain all of us that haven’t bought into any of this will be fine and rich hedge funds won’t buy up property and stock from people with no options forced to sell at prices far less than what they paid

that’s correct. they want modern business video conferencing, which is a very different prospect than 1:1 messaging, or even personal group messaging. i’d argue that there are more of these available than there are business conferencing!

please don’t lump signal in with whatsapp 🤮 that kinda talk makes people think they’re largely the same (especially with the bullshit muddy water of whatsapp using signals encryption), and we have enough trouble trying to convince people to use secure alternatives already… between the open client, reproducible builds, and local key integrity they are truly not even remotely in the same league

these are different problems now though… sure you can make calls to existing VOIP endpoints and PSTN devices, but that’s not what they’re trying to implement: they’re trying to implement group video conferencing, which WebRTC was built for

i’ve already linked the docs that state that native windows containers exist. whether or not specific images exist is not relevant

WSL, Hyper-V and Windows Containers are all options

they have to be built specifically for windows (of course the kernels are different, so the binaries are going to be different) but you can run Windows native applications on Windows kernel with a different implementation of containers using the standard Docker CLI and interfaces

Cgroups are just 1 (by far the most common) implementation of the container backend

to use SIP, in a web browser, you need to use wrapper of some kind (probably WebRTC-based)… you can not directly use SIP in a web browser. given that web browsers are likely a hard requirement, it makes no sense to use 2 separate standards

SIP is the wrong choice for this project, and any greenfield project wishing to integrate web browsers with no hard requirement to support SIP devices

thankfully our southern states aren’t particularly humid: equator to our north, antarctic to our south

also 50C is roughly as hot as it gets on earth, and 0 is when things freeze (icy roads, snow, many things change) so even “round human temperature range” is a bullshit argument… 0C is much more useful for human temperature than 0F

yes but you need a server in the middle which is just a huge waste of resources when you could just use webrtc with basically no down side

people probably said the same about seat belts once upon a time

helmets should be mandatory, just like seat belts

(and they are in australia)

SIP uses different signalling protocols amongst other things than WebRTC, and i imagine browser support is a hard requirement

plain text is probably the wrong phrasing, but apple does control all your keys

no matter who it is, the key holder can always read your data

sentiment yes but there are FOSS tools to store things in google/microsoft/apple drives or the various object stores (s3, backblaze, etc) that work just like the various drives, but with end to end encryption where you control the keys

in general just don’t let anyone else control your encryption keys… where you store things is almost beside the point

bonus: encryption means they can’t dedupe/compress so you get to waste their money

there’s likely very little experimentation needed… ripping the panel out and attaching an HDMI controller from aliexpress to it would likely be extremely straight forward

apple is one of the most proprietary companies in existence and you can do this easily with ipad screens and generic controllers… the same goes for most panels: there’s really not that much difference in the actual “expensive” part, and afaik very little you can do to protect it from this kind of thing

i love fastmail. i’m with them myself!

but you should be sceptical of them as far as privacy goes. they’re australian, and australia had a law introduced in 2018 called the AAA act which means that security agencies can compel technology companies (like fastmail) to implement circumvention mechanisms in their products… employees targeted by such orders may not even be able to tell their employers, let alone customers

oh also, no judicial oversight for any of that

what do trade controls and taxation have to do with global economics…? is that what you’re asking?

… yes…

canada can do basically whatever it wants theoretically

california can’t use its national guard without risk of federalisation, its can’t issue tariffs or any kind of trade controls, it can’t even stop giving money to the aggressor via taxes to finance its own aggression

hell california apparently can’t even stop the federal government from doing blatantly illegal shit

that all sounds so disgusting

i’m really glad i get nauseous from too much fat and sugar… makes it really easy to avoid stuff like that

it does make it kinda difficult to visit the US and see friends though: anywhere we eat is a minefield of fat, sugar, and salt that leaves me just wanting a damn salad to cleanse my palette but even then it probably has fricken ranch on it or a weirdly salty vinaigrette

if you’re talking about policy choices, canada has a lot more relevance to a world economic forum though. ata bare minimum, california is a lot more constrained in how it can behave, making its solutions largely only relevant to the context of other US states - unless you’re talking purely social/soft solutions

You can do all that with a CSS variable though…

and then people have to learn what it all means, where those variables are, how your mess of custom CSS hangs together, and probably what overrides what in your hierarchy

you end up with this soup of classes on every single element

it’s either than or a soup of stuff in CSS. the difference is largely academic in modern HTML because it’s all contained in components anyway

they have to be as short as possible, and so they can’t use font-size and font-weight.

they don’t have to be; they could easily use font size and font weight, but i much much prefer the -lg notation… it makes your flow so much quicker. it reduces cognitive load significantly

I still suspect you’re better off just using the effort you would need to learn the tailwind classes to instead learn plain flexbox.

i know flexbox and grid plenty well, and similar applies across the board for things like tailwind: containing everything together so that you don’t have to mess around switching between different places to define things, and using classes that kinda just represent what you want in shorthand literally makes my frontend development literally 10x quicker, and just feel smoother… even when i’m just doing personal projects

you don’t have to believe me; that’s fine… but i used to think similarly to you, had a couple of failed attempts and hated tailwind, and my most recent personal projects it just clicked and everything feels so nice. i’m a principal engineer, and have done plenty of work on all kinds of projects so it’s not like i’m inexperienced and just go with the latest fad. these small time savings really add up
