People are still more likely to come across a ticking clock than a film reel. Most places I go to will still have an analog clock in multiple rooms.

I'm not a lawyer, but I think might depend on what data is being collected here. I believe they'd be fine if it doesn't fall under the "personal data" category. You might actually be accepting some GDPR processing a

Hasn't Microsoft been a pretty attractive brand for years on end while being proprietary? You make a brand attractive by offering a good product, good support/service, and then marketing those points. I try to use as much OSS as I

Both Youtube and Spotify allow you to listen for free with ads. But to humor you. Youtube is for video content primarily. Youtube Music is a premium service that costs as much as Spotify does and has a whole lot less content. As someone who

As a non-American. Facebook and Twitter spam me with American politics all the time.

It's a self-hosted Twitter alternative. With the added benefit that the different instances can share posts with each other. So you could be part of one Mastodon instance, but still see posts from others on the other instances.

I only know the malls from movies. And I never got why people would hang out there all day.

What do you mean with networked notes? Maybe point me to what you use as well. I'm looking for a note taking tool that allows me to link pages together easily. Similarly to a wiki, but for notes. As far as the physical (bullet) journal

Just to humor you. We develop websites on $3000 Macbooks Pro's. The shitty $300 Windows laptop I see in most households is struggling with a lot of websites. As are $200 Android phones I see many people use on a daily basis. I rarely s

I'm going on a limb here and assume the codebase wasn't as easy to manage back then. They missed a lot of fancy tooling to review it. Also, as a developer (game and webdev), there's tons of leftover stuff. Most of which is as

I ran into a lot of issues with note apps over the years. Tried many, but none really stuck. Until I realized that software based note/planning tools just don't work for me. W An app is hidden away on my phone, and I need to activ

Already happening. All the other browsers for iOS are literally just wrappers for Safari.

Getting another store installed, or installing third party APK's isn't the hard part. The hard part is the baked in dependency on Google Play services in most apps.

Just to clarify here. It's only been owned by Microsoft for about a year now. Before that they were their own company. And as far as I know, the source was never OSS to begin with. Microsoft didn't swoop in and lock it down. It wa

Nobody gave a shit about my status to contact me elswhwere. People just open the existing conversation and never see it anyway. And most don't care, or want to switch. Whatsapp is THE messaging standard in my country. Hell, even our po

I'm fine with placebo's if people get relief. The problem with this is that it validates the 5G hate.

Ironically, they fear the logical explanations they don't understand. But with "quantum" they can wave off everything as if its magic. These people distrust sciency explanations because they think its harmful manmade stuff. T

If you write Ruby from scratch, sure. If you work in Rails you have to work around everything being autoloaded on boot. Best bet is to just build modules to namespace your functions.

In Ruby, that basically comes down to creating a static class.

Yes, that was my thought process as well. But management didn't agree. To them, the short term cost of me optimizing the problem was higher than the long term costs would be.

I agree to a point. The barrier is something I miss sometimes. Because people will be asking something, and then start spamming question marks after 5 minutes. If you're on a pre-paid plan then SMS doesn't just cost money. It&#x27

They do use "apping" as a shorthand sometimes. Dutch people abbreviate a lot. Usually it's "I'll send you a Whatsappie", "I'll whatsapp you" or "I'll app you".

I used to work in a tomato greenhouse. If a tomato had a spot? It doesn't go into the packaging for stores. It goes into the bin for Heinz.

This is odd. In the Netherlands I get the oposite. Most of the stuff in the physical store is always closer to expiration than when I order it from the same store. This is because they stock the delivery cars directly from the warehouse. Wh

In the Netherlands it was the platform that was easy to install and didn't cost money per message. SMS was pretty expensive back then. Whatsapp quickly became the defacto messaging app. The word "whatsapping" even replaced &q

As a younger developer I'd say I agree. But it's not just developers being used to resources being plentiful. I do webdev mostly and there it's also a matter of management. I want to optimize applications to be less hungry, t

They got aquired in 2014. They hit 400M users in 2013. By then it was already THE messaging app for several European countries. I know amount of users doesn't equal users/second. But we shouldn't pretend like they weren'

In my experience the Discord client has been pretty smooth in general. Slack on the other hand can be very slow at times.
