Aficionados kinda makes me think of having a sense of taste, while /pol/ sound to me like eating shit so I’m not sure 😅

What’s the rational for companies to do that ? Is Discord financially viable? With all those users, I’d assume they would have reimbursed VCs money ?

When productivity becomes the primary concern in a country, don’t be surprised your life and aspirations are destroyed for the greater design of a rich dude.

They say that deregulation is the way to freedom but money is a way to coerce people into doing things they don’t want. Americans like this IRS worker just traded relative democracy for feudalism lol.

The worse part is that I’m currently headed to the airport to go to Denver lol (I’m French), what am I doing going into this ehehehe ?

The problem with Web Standards is that they’re so complete, broad and complex that it’s very hard as an independent team to get started writing a browser.

You’d have so little daily active users compared to the titans products (Chromium, Gecko, WebKit) that even if you made something super good, it would still be hard to guarantee website compatibility without faking the user-agents.

There’s also a lot of complexity involved in writing a sandbox for every instance of a website (tabs or iframe) and sharing information between multiple process. I don’t know how they do it in Chrome, but in Firefox they have a whole specification language for that which compiles to C++.

You also have to recreate the DevTools and other tooling for developers to adopt your browser and for you to debug any issues with your DOM renderer…

I love how much the web has to offer nowadays with technologies like WebRTC, WebSocket, Blobs, GamePad API, modern CSS3 but it has also the effect of locking us down into a tiny ecosystem.

I really their should be legislation on what companies can do with their browser because they’ve become such an important piece of the internet so they should serve public good.

I don’t know how to make it happen and I don’t even know if it’s a good idea when you consider the governance issues it would bring for open-source project.

I’m really passionate about this technology !

(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ I still do that :) !

Lemmy is great but it does not hit the spot for a large-scale consumer social network because that’s just not the philosophy (It also lacks the unified identity because of its greatest feature: federation)

People are not searching for an aggregator of small forums of friendly tech people, they want to be part of the next big thing.

If you work on apps as a front-end, you probably understand that Lemmy requires too much hassle to get started with UX-wise.

It’s engineered for a niche, and it’s perfect to me but obscure for the majority of people who were trained to use the same UX for years and years.

No algorithm, no feeling of fame, rarely drama, content takes some time to be updated. Those are features to me but hindrance for large-scale adoption I believe.

This meme is interesting because it made me think that getting old is part of life. Enshittification is getting shit when one need not to be ;)

If those nefarious groups are profiting from high level of homelessness, nothing is stopping them from finding sheltered for the unhoused…

You’re so right! Vision by itself can only do so much if it’s not helped with expertise. To be totally transparent I’m not super convinced by VR virtual worlds. I feel like Lemmy is a great “universe” because it’s interoperate and it really gives it the independence that a true universe need to have!

The metaverse will not be built by a company but will emerge from a universal, accessible technology.

Terraria has all the ingredients of a great game:

• passionate developers
• great progression
• great gameplay
• great bosses
• the sense of discovery and excitement is profound and enthralling
• you dont need a good PC to run it

Every game tries to be the next big thing but they all seem to fail to understand that what made games like Minecraft so great was their portability/runnability !

Star Citizen is a prime example of that: tries so hard to be great, 99% of people can’t run it. It doesn’t matter. On the other hands: Terraria is a complete experience that has been gradually extended/improved/optimized and can run on almost any PC.

I’m looking for contradiction because I see no evidence of my take being wrong. That’s also how League of Legends got so big: you could install it on high school PC lol

Why is it that this enormous business is consistently setting up itself for failure?

Please update us!

called it a while ago actually:

Another shitty app to download so I can update my drivers

Maybe the beauty of art lies in the infinite variety of unexpected interpretations…
