The reality is that nobody wants the alternative. Another commenter was replying to you pitching a mobile debian version, and went on to explain that said mobile debian version isn't usable ... and that's probably because the size of the community of people actually interested in it is so vanishingly tiny that they can't sustain development.

It's like watching the stillborn OpenPandora or GP2x, and discovering that "devices bought almost exclusively to pirate SNES/SEGA games" have no devs writing games for their market because ... well ... you know ...

Woke: using OSS as a dev model because it's inherently more efficient/effective and leads to better software

> Apple ARM chips

There are many other ARM devices. Surface and Chromebooks are some examples. Apple was late to this market. ARM Linux runs perfectly in a VM on MacOS, as ARM support in Linux has been around for years prior to M1. This is nothing new.

> I am not a Unix expert, and I've never had any trouble with Ubuntu being "unnecessarily technical".

I used Gentoo fulltime for several years as my primary OS. I don't care about compiling or configuring technical shit on my phone. I just need it to work like an actual phone, as an appliance, and have free time for doing important/interesting technical things on my laptop or desktop.

> The standardness of Linux makes it superior.

Yes and so I can install Linux on my Macbook, if I choose to.

On my old Intel Mac I could install Linux or Windows. My M1 Mac now has the option to install Linux.

Really not much different to Dell/Lenovo/etc. Same shit different brand.
Interesting you should say that, because as a British person I have never encountered a public park in which one is not allowed to be at night.

Public parks of course need some staff, but maybe they would be better if they didn't have them: the two gardeners for my local public park have been nicknamed 'Rack' and 'Ruin' due to their extreme approach to dead-heading..!

Things the iPhone can't do in 2023:

1. Connect via USB to a PC as a mass storage device (MTP does not count). Want to easily share files between your PC and iPhone? Haha, fuck you.

2. Be switched on immediately when plugged in, after the battery runs out. Desperate to use your iPhone when its battery dies? Haha, fuck you.

3. Be controlled remotely, VNC-style. Want to use a keyboard/mouse/monitor to control your phone instead of your thumbs? Get fucked.
And you claim that if there was less malware in the playstore people would use sideloading more?

Don't take this as an endorsement of BDUF practices and the like, they're as fraught as anything, but it's important to also recognize what modern development practices trend hard towards themselves: the trapping of oneself in a local maximum.

I have a blog post in the works about this but it's not ready to share; in short, I can't help but notice that hyper-focused, optimize-for-time-to-market, minimum-viable-product projects have a real, and frequently killer, problem once you have built your initial, hopefully-better mousetrap. Almost every company I've ever worked for has gotten that initial mousetrap done, tried to expand horizontally to actually have enough stuff-that-works-together to actually sell, and fallen on their faces because that initial super-specific development effort created not just code, but product assumptions that are prohibitive to unwind.

Most of them hit the hillside because reality is no longer playing ball with their (frequently VC-driven) needs to cut scope and ship.
I work from home and I have never been happier or healthier.

My setup is better, my diet is better, I use what used to be commute time for exercise, my focus is better and my productivity is better.

If I was forced to come into the office, I would resign and go and work for another remote company. If I had no choice at the very least I would want the commute time to be included in the working hours.

I'm never going back.
> Otherwise it is e-waste the moment it leaves the factory.

This statement left me contemplating this biasing to e-waste in our production lines, which is to essentially ask how much easier is it to repurpose old devices that permit root administration vs those which do not? This isn't to confuse that every old admin friendly device becomes a repurposed computing tool but the fact that the fraction of those old devices which do, which percent are admin friendly and which are not. That's an interesting question.

Youtube gives you the option. Do you want no ads? Pay for Youtube Premium. I do not need to engage in a hostile user vs platform agaisnt Youtube, with me searching for better adblocks, and youtube trying to figure out how to block the adblockers, cause they go and give me the option. I doubt that reddit would be getting the pushback they are getting if they had come out with some sensible numbers per user, that people are actually ok with paying.
If the property is worth much more than the $725M, and 100% of the surplus goes to the borrower, there's a principal-agent problem.

The lender has no incentive to maximize the realized value, as long as:

- they get at least $725M, and

- they show some good faith effort to get the best price (which presumably could be satisfied by a public auction)

Perhaps some extra marketing effort could achieve an extra $50M, but the entity that would need to arrange this isn't the entity that stands to benefit.

This is sort of a perfect storm of idiocy, frankly. What happened was that the Amazon delivery employee complained about the owner making racist remarks over the smart doorbell[1] during the delivery. This has the result, I guess, of terminating/locking/suspending/whatever the owner's Amazon account. Which... I guess is not really all that surprising? Abusive behavior online gets treated the same way.

There's an argument to be made about appeals and justice, I guess. But the mechanisms here seem to basically be working as intended. It's just another false positive. They happened with pen and paper businesses in the 1960's too.

[1] Denied by the homeowner, obviously. The story seems to check out, but at the same time it's never a great idea to believe one-sided accounts like this blindly. "I was harmed by Big Tech Run Amok" is click bait in this particular community. Always be extra careful to confirm enraging stories that confirm your priors!
Discord is "where information goes to die", so for that reason I think there's relatively little risk of lock-in from discord. The history there might as well not exist, so there's less reason to stick around instead of jumping to a new platform when discord is inevitably enshittened.

I do wish discord were federated. That's my main gripe with discord, it's not federated and I can't bring my own client like I could on IRC. Oh well, with luck the enshittification will happen soon to put people into the mood for trying something new. Advocating for something like Matrix to discord users now is hopeless, just pissing into the wind. I've tried it, but nobody cares about problems they might have with discord in the future when it's working fine today.
They're not all that fancy. My dad's 1967 Volvo 122s had two carbs for a four cylinder engine. It always failed the emissions test and I can't say that it ever purred like a cat.
I will have to engage with side-loading though.

Apps like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc will immediately move because they would be able to side step Apple's privacy controls. Billions are on the table here. Outlook will move because they can tie the app to Edge which will now be able to use JIT.

And a bit hypocritical to say that I should stop locking us both in a cage when it's your choice to be in there. Support companies who allow side loading. Win win for everyone.
I guess they are just min/maxing their real world personality and connections. Very similar to how people play MMOs to the highest level.
I'm not overly familiar with Mastodon (hence the typo in my comment), but my understanding is that it's a place to browse, share, and discuss content. The UI does appear to be more like Twitter.
This is the crux of it right here. You need to decide up front, thoughtfully and carefully - where you are going to put something. Just like in the physical world. Then you need to adjust and adapt it as you go. All the benefit comes downstream from those small additions to the workflow when you go to save something digitally.
Same. Any poll posted to reddit is useless, because it's only seen by the people still going to reddit and want to see it reopened.
If there are no successful, extant examples, then I don't think it's a good basis for anything. As I said, it's a Utopian ideal. That's fine, but it's not practical (and it's not trying to be).

I think there are going to be incredibly valuable lessons-learned from these federated models, and interesting things will happen there. However, all of that will be capitalized by a nimble, forward-thinking, idealistic-yet-centralized model that gets rid of all the ideological cruft and polishes a real, useful, and engaging product.
The contrast on this website is rather bad. For example the pinned discussions are dark blue against a dark grey background. Prev (disabled button) and Next (normal button) use almost the same shade of grey. Hot|Top|New|Old all look like disabled buttons (very faint) but they are clickable.

There doesn't seem to be a way to switch to a light theme? Are there other online viewers for lemmy?

(Of course this could be the result of me being middle-aged or me using a mid-range monitor rather than high-end OLED, so take of that what you will)
The community is the only worthwhile thing about reddit. Their IP is simply awful garbage that could be profitably replaced with their own old open source code and their leadership is full of the kind of folks who think they can hire a sex offender then silence community outrage.

The last thing they own is hardware not valuable enough to pay severance if a substantial portion of the community leaves.

Worse the folks they are threatening are the tiny minority that are most liable to walk away with that value.
Yes, I own fields. No, the ROI isn't there so parishioners keep them for sentimental value mostly. It isn't worth it, it was but it's been decades that it's not.

Of course there's a "we". We depend on supply chains and working societies to even be writing anything here now. No one is willing to support anyone but we're a social species with division of roles, that's the "we".

How do you add value to an economy? Someone is paying for something.

If I had a magic box that made widgets out of thin air, I'd still have to sell them to people to realize any value. If I sold $4.4T of them then yeah, I'd make $4.4T, but I'd be taking that money from, you guess it, the Global Economy.

Unless my magic box generated actual money, I don't understand how you add $4.4T value to the global economy. With enough inflation I suppose you can skim from the overall inflation rate. But otherwise I'm not understanding what they're talking about.

Maybe they're saying the total net value of the global economy is static, but the amount that goes to generative AI will be $4.4T. I guess that's what they're saying.
This is a pretty cynical take on the issue.

There are definitely power-trippers who are attracted to these roles. But there are also people who just want to facilitate a nice community and enjoy their little corner of the internet while making it enjoyable for others.

I think people who accuse mods of "just being on a power-trip" are the same people who get mad when their HOA tells them they have to trim the hedges so their neighbor can back out of their driveway safely.

It's myopic and doesn't give mods credit for seeing the bigger picture. This website, for example, is heavily moderated to keep protecting the feeling of "Reddit in the early days." If the mods here weren't on top of that, this place would be overrun by the type of stuff that is now on Reddit's front page.
We’ve only had this communication capability for the last .01% of human existence. Even 150 years ago, if you wanted to communicate with anyone outside your town, you had to pay a horse based courier what was most likely a very expensive fee. Not to mention the millions of years before that.

Did all these previous generations find less satisfaction in life? Well who knows but I argue not.

We don’t have to structure our lives so that we are dependent on the internet for entertainment.

But also, if you have to pay a small $ fee, okay that seems like a good trade too, if the value is what you are ascribing to it.
We're not going to agree. Victimhood is not diverse, it's a single, homogenous, self-perpetualting ideological filter. I highly recommend Hannah Arendt's "Ideology and Terror" essay for a deeper treatment of why some people believe what they do, and how movements like this use media to consolidate their strategy.
Not as a participant, unfortunately. At the end of the month, rif will stop working and reddit will effectively end for me. I'll still use it for Google searches where I can.
I can't install Linux on my 2020 Intel MacBook.

Anyways, yeah, the lawsuits.

Regarding a phone, I largely agree with you, but ios feels too restrictive.
> Why couldn’t we live in a world where Facebook can’t abuse you because you don’t want them to?

Unilateral bargaining power. Facebook is willing to write an app for iOS that doesn't track people as well as they'd like, because Apple is there on the other side of the table, with 40% market share, saying "do it our way or don't do it at all."

Compare/contrast Windows PCs, where everything really is ultimately "whatever the user wants." You can arbitrarily modify the executables that run on your computer, sure. But can you get a modded game to let you play online, without running some Intel SGX rootkit that verifies the game's code signature and watches every HID input you make to ensure you're not cheating? No, you can't — because despite owning the PC itself that the software is running on, you don't have a negotiating position that enables you to tell the company that runs the servers that that game connects to for online play, to allow a non-rootkit-monitored version of their game client to connect to them.
That's a community that can move quite easily
One example unique to iPhone will be advertising.

Apple has very strict controls which prevent tracking and mess with attribution.

The second side-loading is permitted Meta and Google will spend billions in advertising convincing people to use it.

Because for Meta at least it literally cost them $10b in revenue each year.

I don't really care whether you have issues with something Wayland-related. You can't "enable Wayland" anyway because Wayland isn't software, it's just a protocol. If you have a problem with Wayland it's like having a problem when you enable HTTP/2 on your web server. The problem is with the particular server, or the particular browser, or something in between. If you have a Wayland issue, you don't have a Wayland issue, you actually have a Gnome issue or a Firefox issue or something.

Regardless there is no 'Wayland debacle' that Linux is 'going through' with 'no clear path forwards'. There is a clear path forwards, and it isn't really controversial at all. Wayland is the clear path forwards, and in the long-run is the clearly better choice. But it is a big change and in an "ecosystem" that is so decentralised that kind of change takes a long, long time. Enabling Wayland in your particular environment might not be the best choice yet, whether because of bugs with your desktop environment or the applications you use, or because of features that aren't there yet or just general instability. But for most people it's been enabled for years and years now and it's just... better. No more screen tearing, no more buggy insecure X display server. It says something powerful that people whinged and moaned at first about it, but that their revealed preferences tell a different story: nobody was so annoyed that they were prepared to maintain X going forward. Clearly it can't actually be that important to them.

In most Areas HN is popular in, it’s still normal to have a laptop for school, work, or at least odd things like tax returns and document processing. You could use a tablet or phone but people tend to buy a laptop.

In areas where you do very much see phone and no laptop being common or the norm, the trend is towards increasing laptop ownership, not declining laptop ownership. It’s not a matter of phones displacing laptops so much as phones being more important and accessible.
It's not like Python adoption and use was significantly boosted by Python3: it was and would have been just fine without it.

The problem with languages written by language designers/implementers is that they often don't know when to stop. Wirth is a shining example here: Pascal -> Modula(n) -> Oberon. You need to move on, and leave the old alone.
The standards are fine. The problem is that the front end web is the DOM. I love the DOM, but it scares the shit out of people. Most people would rather cut their hand off or sell their children into child slavery than walk the DOM with 3 instructions.

The problem isn't generating UML from code, the problem is generating useful UML from code.

Where those boxes are in relation to each other matters. You can't just randomly throw boxes and lines on the page, you need to arrange them so that boxes that we can tell what things are related by how close they are to each other. Automatic UML doesn't capture that.

Sometime you have complexity in code that needs tobe hidden by default. I don't care about rare error cases most of the time, but automatic UML can't know what is the complexity needed for rare cases and what is complexity you need to show the junior on the first day.. related to this when i'm interested in one error path how do you hide the others?

Then the real killer of both. Next week there is a minor requirement change (new features we always knew were coming and planned for even), and now the code changed. UML doesn't follow that. Either you generate UML and have the above problems. Or you manually update UML in theory, but in practice just let it slide as the week after you know something else will change and you don't nees it today anyway.
> It's entirely because mods don't want to lose the automodding hell they've created on that site.

That's what I'm wondering with the talk about making moderating difficult. Like if someone only mods 1-2 subs are the tools in the official app and desktop site not sufficient? Or is it only going to make it difficult for power mods that oversee 10s to 100s of subs? I agree if it's the latter then good.
