Even’n all 👋

@xuu@txt.sour.is O guess it’s what you get used to on some level – For example I’ll never go back to Android as I find the UI/UX just awful 🤦‍♂️

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @movq@www.uninformativ.de yea interesting hypothetical ideal “smartphone”. You’re not the only one with this ideal in mind btw 🤗

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks! I didn’t notice myself 😱

@xuu@txt.sour.is I thought the limit was on reading? 🤔

@thecanine@twtxt.net long live (dead) Twitter 🤣

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net Hmmm BKed Beans on Toast yumm 😋

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no seems fairly reasonable to me 👌

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Btw I wasn’t able to follow your gopher link via my gopher proxy https://gopher.mills.io/uninformativ.de/0/phlog/2021-08/2021-08-25%E2%80%93the-ideal-smartphone.txt

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net It would, but I’d have to go up fairly high and renting space like that isn’t cheap either. We might be in the hills, but we’re also fairly close to the creek and in a bit of a dip in the hills 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de And that’s fine 😅 I just don’t want any confusion over the inflexibility of macOS, I mean it’s basically a UNIX OS, no matter how hard one can argue over all things Apple (App Store, various built in Aps, the Desktop Environment, etc)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Agree on the Smartphone ecosystem. Developing Mobile apps is just way too hard and not worth the time and effort. macOS on the other hand isn’t as bad as you think (have you tried?) You really can pretty much treat it as a UNIX system (because it really is under the hood). I install and use pretty much all the standard tools and software I ever did on Linux even still to do this day and I’ve been UNIX as an IDE for some decades 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Only parts I can agree with is the expense really. There isn’t anything I can’t do on any of my Mac(s). It’s the Smartphone market that’s the biggest pain point for me, and that’s not even entirely Apple’s fault, its equally Google and Samsung and others. Developing apps for Mobile(s) is just not worth the effort 😢

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Fair 🤗

The Most Common Cognitive Bias - YouTube – This is actually quite interesting. We have a cognitive bias towards “yes”.

@hacker-news-newest@feeds.twtxt.net fly.io raised over 100M and its just a wrapper around public cloud API(s)?! 😱 What the?!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de What is ti that you don’t like about Apple products? 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Very nice 👌

I think it is sustainable for Microsoft, even if we don’t agree with it from a moral standpoint and freedom of choice. Get enough people sucked into your product and you have yourself a solid (albeit scrupulous) business 🤦‍♂️

@github_blog@feeds.twtxt.net See @abucci@anthony.buc.ci you’ll never rid of this token predicting shit now with trillions of dollars on the line 🤣😆

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no I have (as you may know) a rack cabinet full of Xeon server pizza boxes 😆 They’re really not that noise 😁 and the awever room is near our bedroom 🤣

@mckinley@twtxt.net

It’s not just Microsoft, most technology companies do the same thing. They will keep getting away with it until you do something. At what point will you stop letting them disrespect you this way? Where is the line?

There is no line. 😢 I know why they and others do it too 😁

I guess these days no-one understand that the “cloud” is someone else’s computer 🤦‍♂️

@osnews@feeds.twtxt.net Great 🤦‍♂️ What about privacy? What happens if the Internet goes down? What about latency? What about security?

This is a fucking terrible idea for any OS

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I dunno 😅 I should try it one day 🤣

@xuu@txt.sour.is Yeah I was already aware of this one 👌 Ideally we should make Salty Chat the same or as close as we can 🤞

Interesting phishing attempt 🤣

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no it’s just made so much better 😆

@thecanine@twtxt.net Haha 🤣 Yeah I’ve been slack lately, haven’t rebuilt the App, need to just publish it to the App/Play stores already 🤦‍♂️

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Yeah something about a “Wagner group”, some mercenary for hire? And the idiot (Putin) went and killed a bunch of ‘em so now they’re pissed off and marching on Rusia 🤣 Putin is an idiot.

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Haha not gonna run a business with internet facing services off of Starlink 🤣

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net Sadly rolling your own Fibre is quite expensive because you have to deal with labor and politics and renting roadside space or existing trenches

The main reason I think registries don’t work is they force a kind of “centralization” that’s against the grain of Twtxt in the first place. Which registry do you drop your feed in to? All of them? Which ones do you use in your client? It’s for this reason we decide that writing a search engine is a better approach here where the crawler can discover the decentralised space and network of interactions between feeds on its own.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de There are none I’m aware of that are any useful or alive

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no I usually (for development) install most things via Homebrew, install iTerm2 and VSCodium. That pretty much gets me by 👌 (not too different to when I used Linux as a Desktop OS once)

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Cool 👌 To be honest I like Apple products 😆 I just make sure to turn off all the silly cloud features 🤣

I do a similar thing with a CLI tool written in Go 😆

Hmm indeed 😳😢

I see

@shreyan@twtxt.net Hahaha 🤣

@xuu@txt.sour.is Yeah that’s the problem I have really. Unless I can easily train the LLM on my own dataset(s) so I can autocomplete things I’ve done before and repeat the same/similar patterns, this whole this is just not worth it for me, because it’s basically just “dumb”.
