GrapheneOS is the way to go

Those companies and firms back Rust because it's memory safe without a garbage collector, and great for general purpose programming or systems programming. That's super important for everyone, but especially large companies working on high performance or mission critical software.

Zig is not memory safe so it's a non-starter for these things, and has not proven itself in the industry anywhere near what Rust has.

This has nothing to do with Rust being "corporate" or anything wrong with Rust.

Nope!

But that's the point - he wanted people to know they were connected because he wanted society to change. And IIRC at some point it worked. People started not committing crimes because they were scares they'd get killed.

I'd think you could build some machine to (re)harvest nitrogen from the air and it would eventually be free. But maybe that doesn't exist / super hard to do...

LOL

Seriously, there was a time when Google was lauded for all kinds of awesome innovation, and joked about that you needed a PhD to even be a janitor there.

Look at them now. They can't even do basic search functionality anymore, and are so misguided that they put out color filters for video.

I 100% agree they need to just stop existing at this point.

Because a lot of the time you lose users because there aren't enough users.

They were manufactured by fallen fruit.

The main thing keeping my partner from leaving Big Tech services is that Proton Calendar and other basic functionality sucks balls. The pricing plan is great but for the love of God, fix the basics and stop with all the new nonsense like AI and crypto.

Yeah but he offset the negative environmental impact by killing all those people.

Same idea as Lemmy except for chat. Basically Reddit is to Lemmy as Slack / Discord is to Matrix. One minor detail is Matrix is actually the protocol, so it's more like ActivityPub (which is Lemmy's protocol), and there are specific apps for Matrix which use that protocol.

China*

Please stop saying "mainland China". It implies Taiwan is part of China, at least to some.

I don't understand these people at all. If I had 10 million dollars I'd be living the high life in a tropical country banging hookers left and right. Why is someone worth 600 billion so interested in something so boring and shitty as politics? Does he have no actual interests?

just 2 people

What does this mean?

I don't get it. Internet is media, just like books, TV, or movies. Media is full of fucked up shit. Everything from Mein Kampf to photos of dead bodies to adult novels. We've had things like that since forever, and we've always just left it to adults to prevent kids from seeing the bad things, until they're ready.

Why is it suddenly different for the internet?

If this were a normal, fairly subjective disagreement, I'd feel the same way.

If this were a medium level disagreement and they were objectively wrong, I'd also feel the same way.

Supporting Trump is stunningly, objectively wrong, and in doing so they're basically doing the opposite of this. They're supporting lots of people losing a lot more than their homes.

I fully support being happy about it.

It perplexes me that people choose to use a platform which won't let even let them choose how a browser works.

Hard disagree. Super beautiful.

Vermont can outlaw billboards across the state, but when it comes to everything digital, it seems like nothing's safe. We cannot even check out email on a dedicated email client application without being subjected to ads, both in the form of spam emails, marketing lists, and now even ads from the program itself.

IMO the government should be stepping in to regulate where ads can be placed, just like Vermont did with billboards.
