3·7 months agoReads like a strange dialect of lisp.
1·8 months agoI feel like the only true possibility of an alternative is like such a place, a single project that is consistent everywhere and lets people have their entire work, so that it looks centralized, even if it’s not.
I agree. Version control might be the ideal domain to pull this off in, or at least it has the most potential.
4·8 months agoThank you. I am aware of Tesseract but didn’t know this was its logo.
Can you also share more context behind your original comment?
There have been multiple alternative front ends for Lemmy especially since the Reddit API exodus.
E: grammar and typos.
Ummm… What is that logo?
That may be a good idea. However, people have had around 25 years of familiarity with all things centralised on the internet and the conveniences associated with it. If anything, we are doubling down on the centralised nature of the internet.
It will take a great amount of time and effort to build a equivalently convenient decentralised alternatives, and to overcome the inertia to migrate to it.
The latter I believe is only possible when something enormously drastic happens. We had a good number of drastic events happen in the last decade (Twitter poisoning, Meta privacy breaches, Reddit shenanigans), but none enough to convince people to move to alternatives.
Another possibility is for regulations and/or governments to support the alternatives, but that may have unintended side effects of its own.
Call it the network effect, or the momentum of becoming a staple in the tech community, or whatever; GitHub is here to stay for a while, and the leaders in charge of it are well aware of this.
GitHub has gained enough attention that it is almost impossible to ignore. Projects on GitHub tend to attract a level of engagement (code contributions, issue reports, and feedback) that other code forges do not enjoy.
One unfortunate consequence of this, which I have experienced recently, is when recruiters ask for links to my past work or open-source contributions but refuse to accept links to relevant repositories on GitLab. The number of companies where this occurred was significant enough for me to set up mirror repositories on GitHub.
Another frustrating but silly consequence was when I was questioned during one of the interviews why my activity graph on GitHub was empty: I had simply not enabled it.
8·8 months agoI used to think of it as bacteria on top of my eyeballs. Then my sibling put in the fear that the bacteria is inside the eyeballs, which made sense since washing my eyes didn’t really remove it. I eventually stopped giving it any thought.
Thank you for resolving it.
I guess you meant Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman. But thank you for the book recommendation. I have added it to my reading list.
Thank you. I did read some of the news. Just wanted to know if I missed something.
Unfortunately, I can already see the term “NSFW” being abused to fit whatever narrative the governments.
Moreover, it is setting a dangerous precedent for rest of the world, especially countries already leaning towards fascism.
Out of the loop here. What incident(s) brought about this realisation?
This is taking “testing in production” to a whole new level. How did this get past the regulations?
On second thoughts, does any country have concrete regulations for self driving vehicles? I am curious what they would be, and how they would quantify the thresholds since no self driving solution would be 100% accident-free.
2·9 months agoIn that case, check if there are any VPN or DNS filter apps on your phone interfering here.
Interesting.
Are you using the TestFlight build or the one from App Store?
I tried logging out from the app, and signing in again. It works.
Have you tried logging in through a browser on your phone? Or have tried any app other than Voyager to log in?
Having read the entire thread, I can only assume this to be sarcasm.
I don’t know how you arrived at this based on what @TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.ca was saying.
Connection strength is a network/infrastructure problem while what was being said in the original comment is an application/usage one.
The other part of your statement can be solved using a search engine which restricts itself to just searches and not distract itself with ads and AI. But evidently such a product is hard to build in today’s world.
I had not thought of this serving as an entry or a trial for new customers. It makes a lot of sense. Thank you.
I can rationalise holding off on buying a new phone or furniture until a sale. But for groceries?
One either needs groceries or they do not.
Perhaps, there are some categories of groceries that one may not buy unless there is a good occasion but might buy them if there is a good deal on it?
Or maybe, one may buy the pricier variety like “organic” groceries during such sales?
Sorry. My bad.
