Kind cool to see a profitable company like that. I worked on a place that for years was burning millions of dollars every month in hopes of eventually making it work out 😄

Can’t even open that site because of some https certificate being broken.

For normal end user average usage signal is the best option available, specially for family since they may already be used to the flow and UX of it. Simple and straight forward. All the “bad” things you read are about nerds being annoying and not liking a very particular specific thing and thinking that specific thing should be the only focus.

So just make people use signal. It’s the best and simplest way with the most common features for individuals and small groups. A simple download, in a common known place on a store without confusing people with differences between a protocol and a client and with and onboarding experience most are already familiar and ok using.

Even so you still need to make sure that the app does not have battery optimizations turned on, but that applies to all apps used for communication that are not blessed in specific phones (like facebook and whatsapp already having that setting by default because vendors make it so).

Hitler also didn’t happen overnight. We all look back in history and many ask “how could they not know what was happening” and “how could they not stop him”. It’s all happening in real time, and nobody gives a shit as long as they are not the danger group being put in the gas chambers.

It will only stop when millions are death in a decade or more. If it ever stops. Hitler didn’t have the strongest military in the world and nuclear weapons to use willy nilly.

All the reasons. It’s a well known problem that it’s super hard to host email.

Imagine if a little bit of those so many millions that so many companies are willing to throw away to the shit ai bubble was actually directed to anything useful.

should have been ‘gulf of muricunts’

Scuttlebut was/is peer 2 peer. It’s the kind of thing that will never really be useful for the masses I guess.

maybe it’s useful for jvm and other vms that deal with lots of allocations.

look, at this point, we may actually be able to create our own sequels with ai… as long as the replicators are kept far away from it.

It surely had some amazing moments.

They say “resolved quickly” as if it was an error and not something intended.

People keep getting surprised like they are fish. People are stupid. Most keep saying they have nothing to hide. Let them find out.

Telegram is well known bad https://soatok.blog/2024/05/14/its-time-for-furries-to-stop-using-telegram/

Knowing how to code and interacting with stuff like the nintendo e shop scrollimg performance being super shit makes me think I would absolutely be fired if I deployed shit like that in prod for millions of users.

But how many burritos is that.

People really are that dumb. We really deserve everything we have.

The average person definitely doesn’t have a 1tb drive.

I just install apps on my android tv with adb. But it all sucks, no useful alternative app store has an actual useful UI that works on the big screen. Updating is a pain, there’s an app or two that help but they all a pain because it’s almost impossible to navigate on the big screen with a remote control.

So, really, use adb.

99% AI bullshit not needed then.
