You know you can just use git directly, right? That’s kinda its whole point, that it’s a self-contained topl for source distribution.

You can laterally just git pull from any machine through SSH…

Thw issue youll run into is effectiveness at that small scale, sonyoull be tempted to share data with other systems like that, and eventually you’ll end up creating a different flock.

Do they use them because they’re "just there* and convenient, or do they actially like them?

And TBF I was largely referring to how poorly they’re written and performant, which you often don’t need to care about (until you do).

I had to do some math when you said pandemic and THAT WAS 6 YEARS AGO?!

The issue is people downoting him for stating a simple fact.

Like, I also use AI a bit, it can hepp productivity a lot too, and my opinion is still that overall if we had no ML at all the world woild be a better place than now, and that’s despite the many extremely good use cases for ML and even LLMs.

Github actions are famously extremely trash…

They’re being scammed in the sense that NVIDIA is selling a product for a usecase that can’t make them money despite NVIDIA advertising (or at least heavily implying) as such.

“Look at all these shovels, you’re gonna make so much money if you dig with our shovels, I’m sure you’re gonna find the treasure any minute!” knowing full well that there’s no treasure, or at least definitely not enough for everyone.

…how is that an improvement over physical SIM then ;D

Despite how similar the interface is the protocol is completely different. NVMe is basically just PCIe, so adaptating it so that it runs “under” SATA would be difficult if not almost impossible. And most definitely not worth the extra price.

I have a cookbook (not a recipe book - there’s a difference) from 50 years ago (with the latest edition being 2019) and it’s amazing. No need to go for modern hipster recipes that don’t teach you anything…

Exactly because you’d be the exception there’s almost zero chance you’d ever get to that point. Most people simply don’t have a need to try to become even more wealthy after a certain point.

Like, when all your needs and wants are met, and you still have plenty of money to live that kind of life for the rest of your life, and your family also has enough for a comfortable life… Most people prefer to have less stress, they work less or not at all, or you venture into stuff that maybe makes less money (or none) and you do it for other reasons like altruism or just having fun.

To want to be worth billions takes a completely different character, one that craves as much wealth or power as possible.

And if it doesn’t find sources it can just make shit up! ;D

Are they legal in any EU jurisdictions? I’d hope not.

Not to mention half of their TOS being illegal/unenforceable in the first place.

The website generates a random value, your government signs a cert for that value. That’s what makes it single use and zero trust.

The fucked up part is nowadays third parties like banks or sometimes even governments make apps rely on Google services, so you can’t use an ungoogled phone for stuff you actually need for life…

It’s a bailout where the taxpayers actually get something back.

How is it legal to bail out whole banks or other large companies and not get anything in return?

Sure I can use my bank’s website (and it’s a shit experience) but they still want me to have their own app for authentication… Don’t even offer anything else at this point.

This might be an issue because f-droid re-signs apps with their own keys…

I mean depends on enforcement I guess.

Why exactly do we need signing authorities? Software isn’t zero trust like websites. You do need to trust the developer - even a legitimate one. Signing apps with verified developer keys will only hurt small independent developers, open source projects and freedom enabling stuff like user patching.

It only works to solidify monopolies and doesn’t protect you against shit.

The thing is, he does that fairly rarely, and seems to have mostly learned (to at least keep his mouth shut).

And TBF I don’t think he could build a company like that without a bit of cockyness, and he certainly does deserve recognition for what he achieved.

The vast majority of stuff they do - even if it’s a fuckup - they actually handle well and make everyone whole. In away they’re sometimes forced a bit by circumstances but in general I feel like they’re genuinely trying to do their best and be fair.
