Just idea that they expect growth where there is none is strange. This business are at the limit and have no way to grow faster than economic situation of many people around the world gets better.
Sad part is fir them it is better to destroy service trying to increase growth in meaningless ways, than to just find a way to keep the business that is working.
Idea of infinite growth is ruining us.
But that is always happening. Software that now can be built by two programers needed IBM few decades ago, just because of hardware, languages, available libraries and shared knowledge.
But we still have so many “app ideas” that there is more work to be done. I would be happy to have AI write all those apps that I need and have no time or money to make them.
My conclusion is that it is only about money and economy. We are in unofficial recession so everyone is cutting costs, as soon as money comes back we will go back into bulking/exploration phase.
McLaren still finding ways to destroy every bit of happiness in success.
Just make a decision and stuck with it, this kind of every week new idea just kills every bit of joy.
Nice graph, I didn’t expect that.
I don’t know about game dev, buy SerenityOS guys are flirting with Swift.
If it wasn’t from Apple, I would be all over it. They basically took different languages and most of C++ devs made fastest advance in Swift. Rust I do like and support, but is too confusing for amout of free time I have.
Every social media has the same problem, reddit is on one side, twitter on the other, facebook is filtering by their own goals.
People here are just a bit different angle. But each instance is a little different, lemmy.world is more reddit like, lemmy.ml is leftist, hexbear is… something too, there are probably some right wing instances. Much more diverse than other networks and I enjoy seeing all those different point of views.
This is current problem in society that we don’t tolerate different opinion.
We learned to hate “algorithm” but those can actually be good if creator wants to help us insted of manipulate us.
Without a friendly algorithm to help us, we have no chance in finding our way around all this information around us.
Those are only .md files, I guess any text editor will open them.
Yeah, no reminders and tasks, but notes should be accessible from anything and git can sync it. Never tried it, but text files were the reason I choose zim in the first place. I want it simple.
Same. Perfectly simple to start, and you can build from there.
I just dump stuff if I not in the mood to organize it.
Zim Wiki https://zim-wiki.org/
Desktop wiki, saving to .md text files, can commit to git repo and has basic task handling.
Perfect for me.
Zim can be used to:
Keep an archive of notes
Keep a daily or weekly journal
Take notes during meetings or lectures
Organize task lists
Draft blog entries and emails
Do brainstorming
I am conflicted. From one side, I agree with you sincevthis is a good idea.
I personally never go around paywalls, if someone doesn’t want me to read their article I will not do it.
But… they do push their content to search engines and waste my time with something I can not access. My time also costs money.
Than there is problem with I don’t trust media will write the truth anyway, so giving them few bucks will probably not change that. But it is important for us to know what other people know.
Now we came to sharing knowledge, like we would before when newspapers were printed on paper - I could give it or show it to a friend or neighbor. Or go to a library and read it.
While this is outside of our current discussion, they need to find better model.
If it is a daily newspaper, maybe paywal new articles and release after sone reasonable time (like a week, or month… or a year).
I like your idea of separating feeds, to keep paywalled content out of my feed.
Thank you for mentioning Pie Fed, I neverd heard of it until now, but looks great. Clean code, intro video for developers, db structure exolained. Really friendly for new contributors, quite refreshing.
If those options are functional, otherwise focus on making some of them functional.
Maybe an error?
Error would be if they removed GMaps or Gmail from Play store, this is sabotage.
Play store is 99% some kind of scum, but they found open source app that community likes and is providing service comparable to their app. Yeah, right.
If they don’t want us to call it sabotage, they should be extra careful about apps that are providing same service as them.
Sadly we don’t have huge choice. I think gpodder wirks on windows: https://gpodder.github.io/ and does the job.
I never understand hate ladybird and SymphonyOS is getting in fediverse.
People are doing interesting work against all odds, everyone ever just saying “it is not possible”, finding some random comments from project founder to hate.
But you know what? You and your opinion is not important. People are not doing this to make Linux competitor or Mozzila competitor but to have fun and learn something new.
I also don’t want apple near it, but Andreas learned browser development on Safari and with looking for “popular enought” memory safe language it is rust vs swift and just by looking at the code becomes obvious how easier Swift is to pick up. Especially for someone comming from C++.
Haters gonna hate, I wish them luck. Failing is ok too.
Short answer: No.
While I understand someone not agreeing with the way some instance or community is managed, I see value in different opinions.
Lemmy is great for exactly this purpose, we can have different instances and are able to be exposed to different ideas.
I can not understand the need of some people to limit their exposure to different ideas.
