Well, it lasts 2.5 - 3 hours with Breath of the Wild. But yeah, it does depend. 5 hours would be enough, I agree.

Since they're making a portable-only model, it would make sense to have a stationary-only model as well. We'll see!

Battery life is the number one reason I haven't gotten a regular Switch. But this doesn't allow for connecting to a TV at all... I want a Switch that is juuuuust right :/ Perhaps they'll fix the firmware of the regular S

Part of the issue with federation is the very nebulous concept of servers themselves. What should my domain name be? This question alone is enough to stop someone in their tracks. There's only so many non-stupid sounding names. And sho

That's exactly what FreedomBox is trying to do. https://freedombox.org/ They have a lot of work to do on user friendliness and design though. I'd rather see something like YUNOHOST partner with a hardware provider

Why would I choose a small business over a unicorn-scale startup? Can you explain why this question is relevant?

>This is like saying "skip the car, take a rocket ship." That's exactly what it is like saying. Sure, some people might not want a rocket ship. That's fine. But that is the logic behind "skip go, take rust".

Why pay Twilio for web-rtc though? Aren't there enough open source web-rtc wrappers like Janus?

I agree. I would guess the "why" is that Rust is capable of everything that Golang is capable of, except more and better. Not to mention that Rust has a very supportive community to help each other.

This[0] is the best way I've seen to learn Golang. It's exactly what I needed to make things stick and make sense. 0: https://quii.gitbook.io/learn-go-with-tests/

If I started a Twitch (or Discord) competitor today, I would use Janus as a base for web-rtc to share the load https://janus.conf.meetecho.com/ In fact, Evasyst is a blend of Twitch and Discord and uses Janus for this reaso

I don't find Zealot any more damning than The DaVinci Code. Jean Danielou wrote a book about the Dead Sea Scrolls, Qumran, and the Essenes way back in the 80's that explains how it's all related and what it means for Christia

It’s certainly better than having all identities sitting on one company’s server. In that case, they can delete whoever they want and they also know your IP (look at keybase for example). Check out the Jami developer blog.

This is how every thread on this topic goes. 99% downvoted and hate directed towards me. A couple of people chime with “yeah I agree with you”. And nothing changes because it cannot. Because it’s based on preference.

Anyone that has ever worked with outsourced developers knows the truth of this. If you give them a spec or requirements, they will do exactly what that thing says. Even including the typos or grammatical errors. I don’t blame them. They h

Jami uses no centralized servers at all. Even for identity management they use a blockchain. You have to trust Signal.

For me, the guide is more like: Does it render text in an ugly manner? Chrome: No Safari: No Firefox: Yes The unfortunate thing is that many Firefox users prefer the Firefox text rendering. There’s no solution to fix this (I’ve researched

No. If a server admin does not use that block list, they are excluded from the larger (original) Mastodon community. So every instance is effectively bullied into also using the block list if they want access to the largest fediverse. Othe

90% of those block lists passed around are just free speech friendly instances that abide by United States speech laws. It’s really disturbing to me that a server can follow US laws and get on these shared block lists. I guess free speech i

I think the semantics of the language is also important. A ternary operator in a C like language probably is frustrating because it's some magic that was just shoehorned into the language with no rhyme or reason behind it. However, in

On the contrary, I think the zeitgeist for the last 5-10ish years has been the opposite. "Verbose and explicit > Succinct and implicit". I think python and golang are largely responsible for this kind of movement in recent year
