i gotta be real, i don’t get the hype people go on about with RSS, it’s like being hyped about DNS

yeah sure it’s a good protocol that should be used more, but it’s uh, it’s just a feed? i don’t see what’s so amazing about it, do some people just subscribe to 5000 email newsletters and stuff like that?

it is good, it’s just a bit of a power user program. It’s my daily driver since i actually want all that information, organic maps just looks like a child’s toy to me.

the whole thing about it using OSM data is that you can just fix that, spend a week surveying and you have the most high-detail navigation available.

not even that, a lot of stuff on there is effectively just reality TV and just makes me die inside when i see the thumbnails

does he? i was under the impression that linus considers it just as stupid as everybody else and its existence is somewhat unsettlingly like a separate organism that lives in our collective brain activity…

this is a very childish way to react, you ok?

that stupid huge amount of packages is honestly a pretty big UX issue, at least personally that just makes me chuckle at their optimism and close the page as every bit of energy i had vaporizes from the thought of figuring out what to download.

almost like it has box in the name for some sort of reason

also worth pointing out that fdroid supports reproducible builds, which helps quite a bit with being trustable.

i don’t think that one would generally be derisive

and judging by user numbers the answer is matrix lmao

do you know what the average mobile app looks like? lmao

fwiw lawnchair beta works absolutely fine for me, i guess it can’t do anything fancy with the app drawer but like, that’s why you have a home screen…

i will never understand why people think this is a sensible response, just because someone says “it’s not an unsolvable problem” doesn’t mean they think it’s trivial for a toddler to implement in an evening.

“fur clothing” means that the fur is still attached to the skin, regular wool products are shaved from the sheep which is about as traumatic as forcing a grumpy teenager to take a shower.

absolutely, crossings should not exist, all streets should just inherently be safe to cross everywhere and and at roads you should always have grade separation.

Well, The Thought Emporium made a pill with a virus that modified the genome in at least some of his cells, and made him lactose tolerant for a year and after that he was left significantly more able to handle lactose than before.

So it’s absolutely possible to some degree, for some gene manipulation at least.

to a layman it’s probably best to just… not really think too deeply about this, there is layer upon layer of possible nuance and yet at the same time 99% of the time it’s as simple as “if the ‘thing.otherthing’ isn’t identical then they have absolutely nothing to do with each other”.

To really understand what’s going on you’ll need to dive into how computer networking functions and a bunch of other things, which i do highly encourage since it’s good to know, but the important thing here is that you’re talking about domain names, which i’m not going to try to explain further but rather recommend you look up on wikipedia and other places to learn more about.

back in my days women knew their place, which is in the shower with a murderer slowly pulling back the drapes while raising their weapon dramatically

insane power stance, something straight out of an anime with the character standing on either side of an expanding chasm
