Also there is no casino algorithm showing you what big data knows will make you stay for a while.

In TikTok or instagram reels, you don’t follow people you like. You just watch stuff happening.

To be honest, I’m waiting until we finally get federated git hosting, specially if done with ActivityPub. I think it fits too well the use case.

I believe forgejo is getting there, but it’s still not possible.

I mean, being able to carry a little thing with multiple OSs AND STILL being able to use it as portable storage for other stuff is really useful.

I thought conventionalcommits.org was very well known.

I made my company use it and now it’s so much easier to navigate git history. We also get automatic, humanly readable changelogs for free.

That’s an actual great point, noted.

The title specifies that it’s the apps that are open source.

But Wayland is waaay better than X in basically everything? Performance and security are simply in another league entirely. And these 2 are the most important factors.

The rest of the “features” will be eventually there. In fact, mostly are there already. I’ve been using Wayland 2 years without issues. The important thing is that now the sofware is solid, the code is clean and the performance is amazing. Growing from there will be so much better than from X11.

Turns out that is your experience, and it cannot be extrapolated to the rest of the world.

In fact, my experience is actually opposite. Everytime I go back to Windows to do some task… Wi-Fi has trouble finding my access point, and when it finally connects (sometimes after having to reboot) the connection is simply not as strong. Oh, and some bullsh*t software got reinstalled and it even set itself up as launching-at-start-up, after I had to almost hack the OS to allow me to do that.

So, do I extrapolate to the rest of the world?

You’ll love zoxide then.

They won’t. They’ll just substitute them. The idea is trying to force every company do the same thing, as making people work locally makes them more dependent on their local company and less likely to jump to a better job.

Then you can lower salaries (not rise them) and destroy benefits. Also you can enforce dress codes to make it look like a dictatorship country like North Korea.

Did this woman do it on purpose? The judge seems to be pretty sorry.

People in 2021 had to go and do stuff, infected or not. That makes me scared that some day I might get charged for murder by pure chance that my neighbor got infected while I was buying my covid test.

Is that American hand writing? It reminds me so much of James Hetfield’s, and basically no one writes like that in my country.

Telegram client is the only thing from them that’s open, so I would stick to that as it’s where most eyes are looking.

You are making good points, but I’d say there is a point in “size” which no longer a centralised entity makes sense, and it must be divided in order to provide better, independent service.

Everything has a critical size. It would be terrible if there was a “hospital” city for an entire country instead of a hospital per X amount of citizens.

Or it would be terrible to power the entire world from a single power plant, for many absurd reasons.

RCS is not another chat app.

It’s the NEW SMS. That is why it is so important, and that is why it works ONLY IF YOU HAVE A PHONE. Because that’s literally the point.

Having your mom, grandpa, and everyone automatically use encrypted, modern comnunication just because they have a phone is extremely important.

Realise that in places where SMS has been historically free, SMS is the standard.

XMPP, Matrix or whatever will obviously still have its place for more “incognito” conversations. But having a phone number should also give you access to a better alternative than SMS.

Pedantic, but Google Messages’ RCS. And it’s all Google’s fault because they are holding the API hostage, probably because they want to create familiarity with the app so that people don’t switch once they finally open up.

They are remaking all apps as native apps so maybe this problem gets addressed too.

Custom third-party clients. It’s a mess.

Where’s that tool then?

Or you can preinstall micro like you preinstall everything else 😅
