Full stack developer and privacy advocate. I like to keep the mentality, if you can program one language well, then you can program in any language!

Never give up,
each eye you poke out is one less they can use for data collection.
It’s a slow process and they’ll grow more eyes,
but the less they have on you,
the more private you’ll be.
WASM = WebAssembly,
this has nothing to do with Java,
but with JS (JavaScript).
JS works with JIT (Just In Time) compilation, meaning every user that requests a web page, will request the JS and your browser will compile that JS on the fly as you request it.
WASM on the other hand is pre-compiled once, by the developer, when he/she is making the code. So when a user requests a WASM binary, they don’t have to wait for JIT compilation, since it was already pre-compiled by the developer.
They only have to wait for a tiny piece of JS,
which is still JIT compiled,
a tiny piece of JS to load in the WASM binary.
This saves the user from waiting on JIT compilation and thus speeds up requesting web pages.
WASM also increases security,
since binaries are harder to reverse engineer then plain text JS.
Due to those reasons,
I believe WASM will be the future for Web development.
No clue why people are hating on WASM,
but I guess they just don’t grasp all of the above yet.
Flatpak:

I hate that nowadays everything comes with pre-installed spyware and that they charge you for it makes it even worse…
Ffs I just want devices that I own to not spy on me, and I can’t even buy them anymore…
Each of them require flashing a custom privacy respecting OS onto it,
and that’s a real problem…
For the time being,
I stumbled upon these x2 mods which can help with this issue until an official patch for it is out 🙂
They are made by the same developer and are compatible with eachother 😉
Wayland might be the future,
but today we’re still living in the present…
I was a fan, and tried Wayland,
but it took less then 24hrs before I switched back to X.
Just too many random bugs remain in Wayland rn…
E.g:
