Ok, what’s crazy about it and how do you CYA?

I think it’s because businesses tend to focus on super easy access, user interface and user engagement first, while open source projects tend to focus on tech and often forget about the end user experience.

This strategy has been working pretty great for oil companies. They’ve managed to extend their existence for decades.

Coax used to get faster than 100mbps. We are in an age where 1Gbps is standard in many parts of the world thanks to fiber. Again, starlink is cool but not a direct competitor to cabled internet today.

I don’t have complaints, it’s just not a comparable technology. It has much lower bandwidth and way higher latency for a higher price. It’s good for its purpose which is to give access to people that could not get it otherwise.

Do I have to say it? Starlink is much worse in every metric compared to fiber. It’s a decent option for people that don’t have access to fiber or need internet in remote places.

In the end it doesn’t really matter. What matters is that what I get as a result is relevant. No ads, no 3rd party interests, easy filters, customizable and useful output.

Your confusing them with Bostown Dynamics. Understandable mistake.

No idea about privilege, but when I was struggling to find a job, that was a lesson I learned as well. Instead of applying only to 100% fit which is what I was doing, I started applying to the 50% and everything in between. This increased my chances of talking to someone at least, but also increased the amount of work I had to put in applying to everything. But just like in sales, after you get that first call, the chances of getting somewhere are much higher, so some things have to get flexible to make it happen.

Spinning platters are already dead in many ways because even though they’ve increased in capacity, they haven’t meanigfully changed read/write speeds in decades, which makes moving the ever increasing data a huge pain.

In telegram nothing is e2e encrypted unless you specifically ask it to be and when you do, it kills all the functionality that makes it better than others.

The title promises so much, but OP’s dog ate the homework and there’s barely anything he can show us.

I literally swatted a mosquito the other day because it bit me while I was doing something else. I didn’t feel it land, but I did feel the bite which triggered me to slap it out of existence.

That would mean when they bite you during the night when they can take their sweet time, you would wake up with no itchiness, but that’s not the case for me.

Yeah exactly. No wonder people use tiktok to look up stuff these days. At least there you have actual humans sharing their knowledge.

That’s the point I’m reaching as well. The internet as a mass of disconnected sites feels dead. Any attempt to look up information goes to pages that follow the same formula and feel very AI generated even with errors and unconsistencies typical for AI. What is the point of the open net anymore? The only value I feel like I’m getting is in specific trusted platforms or sites. It’s a sad state that we’ve reached.

They block pop-up windows but now website designers have discovered they can just do soft pop-ups. The worst websites have at least 3, the cookie wall, the newsletter and some pay wall or offer, often overlapping.

Nebula has some of the better creators anyway.

I have premium and still use it just for this.

Giving it a whirl right now. Thanks for the recommendation.
