  • “don’t enter any commands you see online without looking at it first. You can’t trust everyone”

    This has somewhat become a staple idea of mine. People trust others online way too easily. Ai isn’t all that different in this but its more obvious to us that there is something to be scared about the uncanny valley.

    What it tends to come down to is capacity for personal critical thinking which we should aim to foster more in future generations.

    Maybe i assume too much that programmer-minded people naturally come with such skills for troubleshooting and will be capable of responsible ai interactions?








  • Not sure of this is still true, it often feels like edge is the main spyware feature of windowless in general, integrated into windows search.

    Everytime you search for an app or file it doubles as a edge search query to present in the results. You can try disable all the spyware on windows if you want. Edge still stores it in the microsoft cloud so you can sync.

    Copilot is a golden ticket for them now. Its literally an edge based application.








  • I am using heroic launcher to play blazing sails on epic right now. I am on Arch, which I believe is a positive since the steam deck is arch based (i heard).

    The escapist 2 i have not gotten to work properly though. It runs but with like 1fps. Apparently this is because epics implementation and it runs smooth with steam. Definitely test things on a game by game basis.


  • If you’re already feeling some interests your gonna jump ship sooner or later. I made the switch last year and its been nothing short of amazing.

    Steam, gog and epic games all work. Some run better then on windows, others require a tinker step.

    You can run and install most exes, even pirated games using Lutrius.

    Blazing fast. I have sm called hyprland sway and win11 feels like the stone age compared.

    Best of all: COMPUTERS ARE FUN AGAIN You learn so much but its intuitive enough you don’t even notice.



  • Ok il attempt again, take in mind though i am no expert in this field either.

    An api is a system that allows software to talks to eachother. It does this by sending structural packages back and forth that can be read by software.

    Such package usually includes a secure identifier to confirm authorized acces ( like a token) as well as a formal request (show me/edit/remove this specific data)

    The api receives the data package, and if the authorization is valid executes the request.

    The way I understand it (i am no expert on this ) onlyhttp is a way to provide authorization tokens through a browser cookie (you know those right?), meaning only that browser can have access with that token. The client person never sees the token so its pretty secure in the background.

    The bearer token is similar to the one in the browser coockie but the client person needs to enter it inside the package for the api. This can happen from any browser or script by anyone who knows the bearer token. Except Apparantly you cant enter such tokens at all if the api is set to onlyhttp.
