This “hell in a cell” match up is tearing the C++ community apart, or at least it would seem so if you are unfortunate enough to read the r/cpp subreddit

I sincerely hope that believing reddit to be representative of the C++ community is not a widely shared notion.

In case anyone else is wondering, or simply doesn’t like reading screen shots of text, this is apparently a real report:

You might start with the documents posted to the EFF site over the past year. The September 18 opposition letter includes specific court decisions and puts them in context, for example.

It’s re-posted from a news community, where it was since removed for not being from an acceptable news site. Unfortunately, the acceptable news sites covered this more than 30 days ago, which disqualifies those articles even if they weren’t posted there before. shrug

I couldn’t find a better article in the time I had to spare, so I re-posted this one. I think what’s important in this case is just that word gets out. I don’t see anything misleading about this one, and the EFF link (which is also not exactly a news site) is plainly visible.

Matrix messaging apps. It’s nice to have modern encrypted messaging features with no single point of failure, no Google involvement, and no phone numbers. I expect to start recommending it widely when the 2.0 features land in the popular clients.

WireGuard VPN. It’s fast, even on low-power devices.

Self-hosted Mumble. Excellent low-latency voice quality for chatting or gaming with friends.

Radicale, DAVx⁵, and Thunderbird, for calendar and contact sync between mobile and desktop, without handing the data over to Google or anyone else.

This is one of the more important reasons to minimize dependencies and be very picky about the ones we adopt.

Does anyone know where to find unbiased, representative comparisons of memory usage between Tauri and Electron?
