[00:44:01] I switched to Brave browser and damn its so quick [00:44:04] they really weren't lying [03:20:28] I for one welcome our corporate overlords and their harvesting of our data [03:42:44] What browser were you previously using? [03:58:00] https://tenor.com/view/monkey-look-the-other-way-look-away-awkward-weird-gif-17246188 [04:22:41] What does this mean [04:23:06] fun fact: brave's ceo is homophobic [04:23:25] https://thelibre.news/no-really-dont-use-brave/ [04:23:25] Isn't that most CEOs [05:11:19] Most CEOs are racist, homophobic, transphobic zionists [05:11:46] They follow what has money [09:00:19] the browser market is simply bad tbh [09:01:08] options either do or have done problematic things, are tethered to an upstream, are experimental/nonpractical, by and large inadequate for one's privacy by default and have major usability issues if they are [09:03:25] [1/7] https://discord.com/channels/407504499280707585/407537962553966603/1483252633971196066 [09:03:26] [2/7] I was thinking about all the CS education I got and how useful they were. [09:03:26] [3/7] Algorithms and data structures: I'm a theory nerd and I embrace the uselessness of some of the more exotic theory things. [09:03:26] [4/7] Operating systems: the course itself was decent. The best part was introducing me to OSTEP which is one of the best textbooks I've read. I wish I can write guides as well as this book. [09:03:27] [5/7] Databases: my initial exposure was very boring since it mostly involved how to use databases (e.g. writing SQL queries and ER diagrams). Learning about designing an efficient DBMS was very interesting though. [09:03:27] [6/7] PL: writing compilers is fun for the most part. Somehow neither of the 2 PL courses I was exposed to made us deal with low-level things such as writing tokenizers and parsers, which I recently find very useful. One of they did involve generating assembly which was very interesting though useless. [09:03:27] [7/7] "Computers and Society": you'd think it's a boring class and it mostly is. There were some hidden gems, though. The prof made us read the GNU manifesto and discuss Tivoization and GPLv3 in-class, which was my first exposure to the free software movement, copyleft, and the GPL.
