I'm in, but mostly a lurker.

Did you forget the ./s or something? Lemmy itself is developed on GitHub, as are plenty of other "valuable" open source projects. To pretend nothing of value is built there is putting your head in the sand.

If you're developing software on GitHub you have a chance at getting some useful feedback, bug reports and maybe even PRs. Like it or not, the network effect is real.

What websites? I use Firefox as my daily driver on desktop and mobile, and I rarely run into problems. Like so infrequently that I don't even remember the last time.

Future Idiots.

Patent Pending.

There are definitely still shareholders, they're just private.

I'm right there with you. It's nice to know it's been there if I needed it. I don't find myself there very often anymore and when I do it's often to compare official docs to other ways to approach something or because the getting started section of the official docs felt weird or wrong.

Where the hell are you getting all that for a hundred bucks? I don't even think you could get that kind of meal at Chili's for that price.

People that pay the tax on gasoline.

Windows phone keyboard was leaps and bounds ahead of iOS and Android. I still miss that keyboard. Swiftkey on android just isn't the same.

Can you read data off a floppy disk today? How many others can? How many in fifty years can? The point is that left alone our physical media of today is not compatible in the future because you need specialty tools to read it.

Anyone can pickup and read a piece of paper or a rock with carvings in it. The point is that not only does the media need to survive, but the means to make use of it needs to survive as well.

That is the key issue with technology today. Someone needs to keep loving the data from floppy to zip drive to thumb drive to hard drive to whatever is next or it's lost.

That accurately describes the state we're in today, it is that way (requiring trucks for a significant leg of the "last mile") due to the incredible amount of subsidizing being done for road maintenance.

Imagine if we were subsidizing rail infrastructure for freight and passenger service.

I would argue that devs getting 500k in stocks are at least decent at negotiating and other soft skills.

You don't get that kind of compensation for just having tech chops.

it's not like it will auto-delete.

You're probably right it won't, but it definitely could be done by Apple and Google.

I fail to see the distinction:

story >> book (paper) == own

story >> movie (DVD) != own

That doesn't add up. I realize this post is more about streaming than physical discs, but the point remains.

Proton drive has windows and Android clients that work well. I'd love a Linux client for drive and for them to fix the photo upload issue on android, but eventually those things will come.

What would you classify google or apple portrait mode as? It's definitely doing something. We can probably agree, at this point it's still a reasonably enhanced version of what was really there, but maybe a Snapchat filter that turns you into a dog is obviously too much. The question is where in that spectrum is the AI or algorithm too much?

This is what I was wondering about as I read the article. At what point does the post processing on the device become too much?

That's no worse than you started. The fact remains nobody is going to get 100% coverage of their contact list on the fediverse without Meta, so trading a Facebook account for a threads account is no different, and it ignores the benefits of that time when you maybe able to live without either.

Or maybe the 512kb.club a more reasonable balance between 250 club and the 1mb club.

Also with a view: jankfree.org for a similar focus on performance.

Yes. You can. I have a personal site that is using nuxt static site mode and it renders extremely fast and clean output.
