lmfao even a chat bot could come up with a more intelligible reply
I also like how it’s It’s offline-first, using the CRDTs under the hood.
You clearly just don’t think period.
Thank you for providing an example of a person suffering from Dunning-Kruger effect.
Who said I’m wallowing, I just understand the system I live under. The only thing that’s sad here is that a grown ass adult doesn’t understand how capitalism works.
Literally nobody is coming for your property, but if you think that your current oligarchs will let you build any sort of socialism then prepare to be surprised.
Again, I don’t care which group of capitalists runs the country and exploits the masses. If you want to die defending rich people’s property, that’s your prerogative though.
imagine voluntarily fighting for a capitalist state
And I don’t see that as a problem. I don’t think Fediverse needs to be fully connected the way a centralized platform is. The fact that different instances can choose whom they federate with is a feature not a bug. Fediverse favors creating smaller communities that are more personal, instead of just being one giant cesspool. It’s a different way to interact with people.
I find it’s actually better at this point because it just gives results without AI summaries and ads, also I find it’s just straight up better at actually finding what you’re looking for
The whole point of ActivityPub is that you don’t need multiple accounts on different servers. You can use your Lemmy account to talk to people on Mastodon, browse PixelFed, watch PeerTube. Yes, there is sometimes lag in content propagating, and so on, but it’s clearly not a show stopper. My experience using Lemmy and Mastodon is the opposite of terrible.
It’s no more confusing than using email, and everybody managed to figure that out. You don’t need to know how the nitty gritty of it works. The network effects is a far bigger issue, as you point out, centralized platforms simply have far more content on them.
You’re right, the chip they leveraged isn’t actually that old. The key part is that we’re seeing a lot of optimizations happening in software space now that allows to use existing chips more efficiently.
I’m hoping this will go beyond AI stuff as well. Operating systems and a lot of general purpose software is also incredibly bloated. If Chinese companies start optimizing the software stack due to having slower chips, that would be a huge win.
Again, I’m perfectly aware of how the process is supposed to work and what purpose comments serve. This is the exact same argument people make when complaining that everybody is doing Agile wrong. What I’m explaining to you, as another senior dev in the industry, is that a lot of the time people start cutting corners because they have deadlines, or they don’t understand the code because it was written a long time ago by somebody who doesn’t work at the company anymore, or a myriad other reasons. Keeping comments in sync with the code is not trivial in practice, and it’s often done poorly.
Sure, yet the fact that this happens regularly is the reality of the situation. Simply wagging your finger and saying it’s the fault of people who don’t update the comments isn’t really solving anything. Not to mention the fact that people might accidentally update the comments in a wrong way while being well intentioned. Since there’s no way to validate that the comments are correct, it’s very easy for mistakes to creep in. Anybody who’s done actual software development would understand this problem.
Somebody has to maintain the ungodly large amount of comments as the code gets updated over time, and if people screw that up then the comments become less than useless.
Imagine not being able to understand that new software optimization techniques are continuously being discovered. 🤦
Indeed, most people don’t realize what a monumental challenge it is to reindustrialize an economy.
I’m sorry for having takien your valuable time away from sniffing glue.
