From the perspective of FOSS developer:
I simply don't want to pay €100 every single year to Tim Apple to make a free hobby app.
Android has more ways to distribute, and the "official" way is one time €25 fee and that's it.

I like cats and chickens.

I thought I was alone in this lol
Win11 literally made me rage uninstall it after I got mad trying to remove all bloatware and then it showed me onedrive ad
Isn't its everywhere in the world right now? Economic system is rigged towards the elites and thats what we have to deal with
It’s not like corporations produce greenhouse gasses because they think it’s fun.
I think we can agree on that corporations are aimed at cheapest way to produce most popular goods at the biggest scale they can achieve for, in the end, produce the biggest possible profit. Thats what corporations are made for: money.
In the end, rich guy gets a yacht, bunker for apocalypse and private residence with AC, private kitchen stuff and anything they want so he will be fine even if its 60C outside. If it will get unbearable, they'll move to something like Norway and will be fine.
At the same time, hundreds of thousands of people who live in hot countries will die and millions will be climate refugees.
All that, because producing iphone with coal electricity (simplification, albeit I feel like its close to truth) is 10$ cheaper.
Blaming corporations, even if partially accurate, doesn’t actually get us any closer to solving things.
Swapping to paper bags will not help either. There are only two options to solve the issue:
1 is impossible because gov will never cut the feeding hand and 2 is just a matter of time until we will get couple hundred millions migrants from Aftica, India, Pakistan etc.
He made money from people liking provided fun and easy access to reddit, additional functionality and customization options.
For Android: fennec does this.
Spoilers: I'm this app's developer :)
Literally my father moment
In the universe with 20-30% of actual inflation development costs will always rise even for indie because devs have to eat something and live somewhere. Not to mention software licensing and equipment
What? Apple is still releasing good laptops, m1 makbook air was unmatched for its price for like 2+ years and is still a machine that can last 6-10 hours under workload
Sure, if you were an user of that instance it will probably suck for you,
Which means we need some way to migrate accounts (even if it will require manual approval of instance owner)
How many times did internet petitions actually changed something
Always confused when I see memes like this
You learn js, then you learn a bit about ts and pick react/vue if you want to do frontend or nodejs if you're into backend. Then you do something basic, like a barebones twitter clone, weather app, etc. By the point when you're 80% done, you will know most important parts of the ecosystem naturally
After that, learning all the supporting libraries/frameworks is super simple since next is just superset around react, same for nuxt. Solid, svelte, fresh etc are just different flavors of react. Even vue is looking like react this days with composition api, simply because they nailed the simplicity and dev comfort. Average dev will never face weird js/ts parts or confusing libraries because most of their day to day job will be moving buttons and looking how to persist user basket in browser storage...
Sure there are a lot of libraries and ways to do stuff, but 90% of them are irrelevant, only-for-hobby or simply dead and unused since 2010. Knowing ts+(react|vue)+(vuex|redux-tk|mobx)+(styled|tailwind) will land someone a basic job where they can progress and expand their knowledge lol
Not like you can't access their community anymore
Too long. I call it shitter.
As per their ceo, they want to provide access to education to all (which is good since educated people are less likely to believe propaganda) and they do not monetize the app in that country in any way, which means no taxes going to putins pocket.
People are quick to jump to conclusions but they’re right here.
I wonder how many people will be ok with this, considering that there's a large portion of folks who does not know what's AdBlock
Kinda jealous tbh, I couldn't get my Google news to actually work and it was 40% spam 40% clickbait 20% American news (and I live in Europe)
It's amazing how well it handles the load now compared to just a few weeks before
Tech related stuff and old memes*
Oh, this is actually great news. Thanks for sharing :)
are you really trying to say that chromebook can do more than m1 macbook lol
please show me an example of working in blender with chromebook
Lemmy is opensource and does not have large team to work on things you mentioned simply because its mostly one person and people who are trying to contribute to my knowledge. Just open the github repo for lemmy or any app and contribute if you want.
All these things are solving different problems and you absolutely don't have to use them if they complicate your current workflow.
I can't imagine making a high interval trading app, things like notion or figma without modern libraries.
jQuery only gets you so far before you will wake up in unmaintainable hell where your team has to re-invent the wheel
I'd rather agree about mastadon, but not about Lemmy. I've seen people from (I assume) ~20 up to 40+. For example, I'm around 27 and I have few friends who were using Lemmy for almost a year now, they're in their early 20s.
But yes it's mostly nerds.
I'm working on open source session replay tool (skipping the name not to promote it explicitly, but its quite easy to guess since our niche has not too many fully OS companies) as R&D/js library maintainer; at the same time I'm making my own lemmy app :)
Very fun and quite the opposite experience (going in deep with browser specs and API vs thinking about mobile UI and features)
My boss legit says that he will give me some time to work on it every 2-3 months and then drops a “customer requires X feature and I promised that we will deliver in one week”. And mind you we have to patch up to 3 major versions in the past to back port the new feature because client haven’t upgraded and won’t in near future… which means sometimes our major releases are 60-70% same as our minor patches for old versions. Semvering much?
Simple explanation: imagine an instance as an apartment house, where communities are apartments (where people can gather). You also have neighbor buildings (instances) with their own apartments. You can go and visit them freely if you want. In that case, federation will be like a city I guess
Yeah its pretty standard to have in offices and shops, but not in apartments or houses. I've seen couple of ceiling fans in Spain, but here in France some people don't even use regular floor fans for some reason lol
To be honest, we only get 2 hot months in a year (usually, though its starting to change and now its more like 3 hot months where 2 are extra hot)
More than that, I never saw political or controversial "influencer" content on YouTube at all. It's mostly tech reviews, memes, travel and photography videos, just exactly what I watch.
Algorithms are so good these days it's kinda funny to see someone being angry about being offered to watch the same stuff they usually watch
Throwing money into the fire to escape responsibility does not work? No way!
That’s a con and a pro of decentralized net: if you don’t like the owner, pick another instance or create your own and be the king. Bad news is, every instance is controlled by couple regular folks who’re not responsible financially so they can imply their own rules and post and ban whatever they want.
Like the jungle: you gotta learn to survive and avoid the monkeys with rabies.
Some of the specific communities are there but not here or barely alive here (like my phone's brand) so I'm visiting them from PC. Spez gets no moni because I'm always using unblock there though
So many people joined, which is amazing
I guess (in their mind) their laptops are "premium" product and making a cheap one will lead to brand damage.
Plus, I remember how bad was previous 12 inch macbook, people will probably be very catious about it (if they ever make one)
Fennec’s dev here: changed name for Fennec to Arctius to stop the confusion.
Telegram with my gf and family, discord with friends. Fb messenger is awful to say the least
In addition to what others said,
There is also a fear of my own code being judged online.
Please don't worry about it. This is how you get better in your career/skills. You need other's judgement to think about your code and how you can improve it and your skills. :) Thats the huge bonus you get out of code reviews.
They do not have any profit in « that market » because app is demonetized in Russia and Belorussia though
Can't wait for the actual reveal to finally decide between P8P and S23
This is fine, we just need to switch from plastic bugs and make caps attached to bottles and everything will be alright! Together we can fight at least 1% of the carbon emissions from top 100 corporations in the world :)
