Actually capability-based, no-global OS (like FuchsiaOS) has huge chance of success in today's world if they successfully layer the 'legacy apps' well. A win for security, win for ITs, win for end-users, win for developers (better DX), but loss for sys admins.

a gift and a curse of isolated package managers: You don't need to update && upgrade before install, so you need to remember to keep your apps up-to-date.

"Yearly" "billed early" "$.../mo" I mean, if I am going to be billed annually, I may need the annual price... just a small detail...

Back to Duolingo. Airlearn has zero sense of retention.

I don't what you all see here but... Left one looks happier. These concerns are what makes it more entertaining. Right one has depression risks. Bug hunting is fun, like so fun.

Happy 4th of July Semiquincentennial to the USA! 🇺🇸🎉 I've heard so much about how big the celebrations get. Hopefully, I can experience the 4th of July celebrations first-hand during next summer term. #Freedom250

Gemini's new web ui feels like I am about to play LE SSERAFIM's most recent album.

"The truth is, I like headaches. I like a problem in front of me every day, something to chew on. Something to solve." Marc Randolph (from "That Will Never Work") #quotes

This is crazy. It was 17% when it said to have 3.5 hours of battery life left. Now it's 2.5 hours passed; it's 8% with 1.5 hours left. While actively using it. Yet, still using it, posting this. #Samsung #Galaxy #S24Ultra

dev/proj project has hit a wondrous milestone! Now officially called as HereUS Procurro, our developer tool has already proven its production-readiness on various HereUS projects.

"Modern" #GUI stack (@nodejs.org ecosystem) is too complex that building a scalable @golang.org backend that can both power a rest api and a @charm.land TUI feels like an easier option. #android >=16 has Linux terminal anyways.

There is no such thing as "done," only "ready for release."

Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ This why I only buy #Samsung #tablets: 21%, 19h 51m left full charge approx. 3d 22h stopped charging 2d 14h ago at 92% Charge once, forget for half a week.

If you avoid disputes, you will find yourself in a situation where you can no more defend your point, where your rights have already been taken from you. Sometimes, what you see as a potential headache can be what keeps you in control of your life.

#enshittification is not a sin of #siliconvalley. It's #wallstreet's fault. Silicon Valley used to care about us. Built things that we bought. Then Wall Street forced them to turn to rent, so they can see a regulated income flow, independent of releases. Own your software to end #enshittification.

#REMINDER: #AI doesn't destroy the #environment or burn millions of dollars. It's the #cloudfirst that we have these gigantic AI servers instead of capable-enough hardware in our pockets, on our desks, or as a wearable. #cloud throttled the evolution of personal #hardware.

#SaaS #companies uses #personalization to make their computers' systems look like these are yours. Truth underneath, it's just a small rent in a multi-organization runtime. Self-host if you can. Go managed otherwise. Own your products, not new rows in monthly expenses.

If capitalism doesn't work for someone, they must check themselves. Capitalism expects individuals to actively contribute to the market by either; 1. Building alternatives, 2. Using boycotts to enforce, 3. Share their reasons for #1 and #2 with others. Vote with your wallet, or be the alternative.

#BabyDONTCry 's "Mama I'm Alright" from #AFTERCRY gives "All Night" (by #IVE) vibes to me

To whom asking for the progress... still yak shaving.

On the most complex software types list, auto updater are on top, keeping their throne against vibe-coded AI-native Agentic B2B Vertical SaaS with 99.9% downtime. #sarcasm #sarcastic #discord #autoupdate #linux #gnulinux #gnu #saas #vibecoding #vibecode

This is why, with @hereus.net, I continuously push for revival of decentralization. With centralized infrastructure, single puncture drowns whole ship; with decentralized infrastructure, single puncture can only take single boat done, leaving else alive.

Someone claims it's easier to build a whole industry of defense than manage a ccTLD. Where is the popcorn again?

So, it downloads "Premium Support"? If it was a #foss app or #fediverse app or whatever not mainstream, it would be "sign of unprofessional product. But it is #spotify, so no one cares.

Song to the night:

We completed another awesome #FediForum, and I would like to thank to the everyone I had a conversation with there for participating in a collaboration on shaping the future of the #OpenSocialWeb. I hope to see every participant, and more, in the next FediForum this fall. @fediforum.org
