Worst case is that grocery, and restaurant purchases become publicly accessible if it leaks. I use adblockers, so all the targeting is wasted. Privacy concerns are oversold, and exploited by VPN companies and DeleteMe
Seems like a fork of mumble with better UI would work for you.
Thanks for explaining. I use group chats for IRL friends. It's strange that some prefer mastodon because of the twitter format. I suppose it's like private Facebook groups.
I like the sharp distinction between private stuff and searchable stuff. So it's good to have them as IM vs forum formats.
I just pictured Altman when I read "fight managers".
That's too many beaks for you to break. You'll have to wait 20 years for robotics to improve.
How do you test without servers and VMs?
Perhaps Apple's walled garden is the reason why so many shitty mobile web apps exist. In a civilized world, Apple and Google would agree on a UI standard.
I don't think it's the reason why the app economy largely failed (sure, mobile games are a big exception). I hope the vibe shifts back to software being a tool to enhance productivity rather than a rube Goldberg machine for entertainment and ads.
I see people buying $300 AR glasses as a portable monitor to watch porn comfortably while in bed.
Ironically, Zuck is all about FAIR now. Shouldn't it be MAIR now? :)
I've met Android devs with iPhones, so the answer is probably yes. I don't know if Xcode is worse than Android Studio or Flutter. I honestly just hate mobile development in general because it can't be done on the same device as the code runs. It feels like driving while wearing boxing gloves.
It took Apple 15 years to break free from Intel, and that pushed Qualcomm to make laptop CPUs. In many aspects, it's more impressive than the iPhone.
So you'll be breaking Altman's beak with a baseball bat?
Perhaps activitypub services can be viable as a service. I don't think so, but I hope I'm wrong.
It's similar to when factories got mechanized, and people were promised 2 day work weeks. In reality, the number of high paying jobs shrunk, and wages compressed. That's just the march of progress:)
What keeps your posse on discord?
It's available to anyone who pays. Not limited to nation states. I doesn't concern me much: $10M is out of reach of anyone I'll ever meet.
Are you a mobile dev?
As it appears to me Mastodon is public like Twitter. I didn't know about private instances. Why use this format when there's chat rooms?
What subscriptions do you have?
Thanks, I'll take a look at misskey.
Have you tried NewPipe? YouTube changed the API a few times, and it broke for a day. Otherwise, it's excellent. I had trouble with Google Pay lately, which is really frustrating, I reverted to cash. No trouble with Chrome or Gmail on Android.
What does it say about you if you let idiots have power over you?
M chip MacBooks are pretty sweet. Especially if you want Xcode.
It's a miracle that Google botched messengers, Google+, cloud ('member app engine?). They could have been even more dominant. I still like them more than MS and FB.
People don't go to public places to hang out anymore, so we're dependent on the internet for that these days. Does it mean addiction? Not at all. It's similar to drug addiction, if you're in good health and good company, time flies when you're sober. When you're sitting by yourself in a small room, you're dependent on time accelerating media devices. For me, meth accelerates time in a similar fashion, and I can spend hours sitting in a room looking out the window, no urge to look at memes in chat rooms. Meth is easier to stop for me because of harsher side effects.
