Totally unproven dream of the fediverse*
Imo it'll go like this. 50%+ of the users captured on a single instance. Basically lemmy.world already. It continues to scale until there's millions of active users. Costs get too high and the offer of investment money is too good. The instance sells out. Non-federated killer features creep in ala embrace / extend / extinguish. Nobody else in the community can afford to run it at that scale, too much admin and servers. Data export is turned off. Users don't know how to get their accounts working on a clone or that it exists. Most of them stay on the big instance due to network effect. We end up with a new BlueSky, Threads, or Reddit. The investors win again. A new revolution begins over again ...
Imo we just enjoy it while it's here & stay small
Well for once I have to stand up for apple. What makes them different in the AI space is that the inference actually happens on device and is very privacy focused. Probably why it sucks
That's just any store
You may find it funny to learn that Signal's early development was funded by an arm of the govt that focuses on distributing ideology worldwide -- US Agency For Global Media (Radio Free Asia and Open Technology Fund)
You may also find it interesting that Trump eliminated this entire agency about two months ago
Why did the USA run all these programs and fund privacy software? Ostensibly to help people in oppressive regimes communicate. To broadcast alternative media
Well...
If you follow the link to fedidb, refer to the "mau" monthly active users. Do some brief math and realize that lemmy.world accounts for about 50% of all active users
Email market share is harder, but many estimate that Gmail accounts for over 40%. Many many orgs use Google apps to make custom branded gmails with their own domains too
This is the typical "business power law" that states that the top player should control about 50%, the second player about 25%, etc. This is just kinda how the world works
Well, thanks for explaining
Yeah there were similar battles in music copyright about whether a style of music as a whole can be copyrighted. Overall, the answer is "hell no" but with a couple outlier cases. This steps a lot on stuff like parody, which is protected by the first amendment as "fair use". But it gets messy when things are "too similar" -- a grey area exists
To this day homies don't understand the simple rule that controversy sells. It powers the brand. It keeps it in the news every day. Manage a steady drip of "bad but not soooo bad" controversy and you win. Case in point: Trump
If you want something to end, get people to stop thinking about it. I suspect people just like having something to be mad about and "belong" to an ingroup of other people mad at it too
Inb4 people are mad at me for "supporting Elon" by saying the above, right? Because obviously what he's doing is so bad and evil that "how dare I" not stand up against it? Well, I hope you enjoy the ride
Love to see upgrades with a negative net size lmao. Software should get more optimized with time, not more bloated. Oop, just got the gnome console popup notification saying that my install command finished running, sweet -- it took as long as making this post

This compiler detects the filetype you are using. From there it detects the entry point of your program and compiles it with the correct compiler so you don't need to setup anything.
Currently it is on beta state and only works with c. More languages available in the coming days.
I rather releasing it now in case someone wants to participate and leave comments before I solidify the architecture.
I coded this for NormalNvim so take a look there if you want too.
Cheers.
Whoa! You can get energy from gravity and spin?? Who would have guessed
