Nothing inherent about modern software makes it require updates. You only need to update software regularly if it has external connectivity so you can patch vulnerabilities, and forcing that on people is just an excuse to force "feature" updates that include lots of bloat and spyware. It should be illegal to make connectivity mandatory.

If it required a trip, I could just not go. Forced updates should be a felony with real prison time for company executives.

Ugh, I hate when people use Python for that. It makes the application slow and power-hungry. The Matrix backend is a great case to look at for why Python shouldn't be used for more than glue and scripting. It's soooooo slow and they're rewriting it in Go now.

Waking up early isn't natural. Where's my 2 PM gang?

BRB, gonna make a platform frontend, backend, desktop application, mobile app, and hardware controller all in JavaScript. shudders

Being able to configure exactly how far the jump forward/backward buttons take me individually makes it so much easier to skip sponsorships. Plus, it's just a great app.

If you really want ad blocking, use DNS-level blocking with NextDNS or RethinkDNS. I haven't seen a single ad so far.

That's 100% spot on. Those hours lost never come if the whole project is done in 30 minutes.

I take it your only experience with statically typed languages is with C. It's a big world out there!

Well that's fucking bullshit.

Honestly, fuck dynamic typing in general. That shit saves you a few seconds and costs you a few hours.

Did you end up getting the full amount back?

How do you quantify the financial oppression if not with financial status?

💀

Giving to poor people regardless of race includes economic victims of racism. It doesn't matter if you're poor because you or your ancestors experienced racism or if you're poor because of more broad economic oppression and bad luck, it doesn't make you any more or less deserving of help either way.

If you want to fight economic inequality, do it by lifting up impoverished people regardless of race. There are plenty of poor white people who have never benefitted from preferential treatment. Make public schools good enough to enable those who are financially disadvantaged to have an opportunity to do well academically regardless of their race.

I found this if it's what you mean, but all it mentions tech-wise is that Lemmy is slow to develop. This does make sense, is it what you're referring to?

You can't disable sending read indicators in Element last I checked, only receiving them. What kind of problems is Lemmy having?

Now THAT is how you protect the children!

Yeah, Matrix fucking sucks. The organization scheme is obtuse and confusing, it takes longer to send a message over Matrix than it does to post a comment on Lemmy, and it has those god-awful read indicators that you can't turn off.

Lemmy was written in Rust, while Matrix was written in Python. I can't blame poor design on Python, but I'm sure the poor performance is not a coincidence.
