Downvoted not because it isn’t true, but because they aren’t automatically mutually exclusive and because it is an unnecessary jab at half of the human species. Why are we paying attention to divisive bullshit instead of focusing on things that actually have the potential to help?

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Introducing selfh.st/companions, a Directory of Companion Apps for Self-Hosted SoftwareEnglish
3·2 years agoOn the one hand, sure. On the other hand, if there hasn’t been even a tiny bug fix or feature update in that long it calls into question (at least for me) whether when there is inevitably a breaking change, security issue with a library, whatever - that it will be addressed. If I don’t have some level of confidence in that, I’d rather not rely on the tool.
This kind of concern could be handled by contacting the developer or engaging with the community around the tool to see what the project status is, and why it isn’t being updated.

Technology@lemmy.world•Hashicorp signs agreement to be acquired by IBMEnglish
8·2 years agoAnd its backed by the Linux Foundation! So it can survive things like Hashicorp’s silly attempt to claim copyright infringement.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Which of these VPS providers would you recommend?English
2·2 years agoI’ve used Hetzner for years without issue. Accessed through VPNs to the control panel without problems, changed password no issue, etc. I’ve never heard of them being “known for” the behavior you describe. This is just anecdote vs anecdote, though. I’d be interested to see some kinda evidence of what you’re saying.

TechTakes@awful.systems•The whole internet loves Kagi, a lovely paid search engine that can find things! *5 seconds later* We regret to inform you the CEO is an unhinged narcissist who will harangue you in emailEnglish
18·2 years agoThe only thing I thought was an error on the CEO’s part (not regarding his views, just the way he handled himself) was the long followup email when the blog author said he wasn’t interested in debating with him. That email should have been a blog post of its own if it was worth writing in the first place, imo.
About his views, though: I’m turned off by his lack of regard for user-supplied details as PII. For me to use a search engine that requires an account, and therefore associates all of my searches with me directly, I would need to be supremely confident that my information is in good hands. Otherwise, how am I better off than using any other search engine on the internet without an account?
I’m glad I read through this post, Kagi has been on my radar but I hadn’t looked into it enough to decide if I might have any interest. Seems like the answer is, at least for now: no.

Futurology@futurology.today•Germany's largest telecom company, Deutsche Telekom, says AI will render apps on phones obsolete and is launching a high-end smartphone with only an AI interface.English
76·2 years agoI could see this being great! In at least several years and possibly a decade or two, when AI is far more reliable than it is now. And when it can run entirely locally on a smartphone without major problems. And when there is sufficient adoption of this approach that the inability to use apps doesn’t cause interoperability problems for users.
VM detection that I’ve run into is not that hard to bypass, but it does subjectively seem to result in a less performant VM (haven’t ran any tests to verify).
Almost everything you said here is false, with the exception of controversy over the developer. However, GrapeheneOS is far from a single developer project, and the former lead stepped down a little while ago.
I have a 6a, which I tolerate for GrapheneOS. The battery life is absolutely terrible.
If your company is implementing an app that is basically a toggle switch or power button, it’ll probably look like the first one. If your company is implementing an internal search engine, it’ll probably look like the second one. If anybody is implementing a data entry system meant to be used by trained individuals at a workstation, its gonna look like option three. You might as well complain about a CNC mill being more complicated than a screwdriver, they’re different tools.
You are a fucking idiot
This is one of the first things addressed in the lecture.

Technology@lemmy.world•Smartphone manufacturers still want to make foldables a thingEnglish
522·2 years agoOnce they are cheaper and more durable I’ll buy one. Its still a new form factor that hasn’t been perfected yet, but that doesn’t mean its wrong for manufacturers to keep at it

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•I got this popup ad on my TV **while watching a DVD**English
3·2 years agoThey could have a partnership with xfinity to use all those “open” WiFi networks, for one. Or some other sneaky way of sending data.

Yeah, Jerboa has been a buggy mess the entire time I’ve used it and this finally got me to try Voyager. 10,000x better experience. I know developing an app is not easy and I hope Jerboa can get through its growing pains, but Voyager is great right now.
Just convenience in the form of focusing on a user-friendly out of the box experience, really. That’s enough for me to use it over Debian on desktop, though I like Debian for servers.
