I personally would pay even if the results were _slightly_ worse. But for me they are as good or better than Google. I also use a lot the assistant, so I'm happy customer so far.

Apple is to blame for many things, but the fact that if whatsapp has access to your contact list you can't start a conversation with any phone number in an easy way is entirely up to them. This said, it's good to see that apple is

Do you think that software comes out of thin air? It takes time and effort to develop and maintain software. The fact that it doesn't cost to reproduce it doesn't mean it doesn't cost to create it in the first place.

Absolutely incredible indeed! People asking money in change of their work, how dare they? /s All these years where megacorps gave people stuff for free have tainted the minds of many. If you questioned the subscription model over the p

Great article. I'd be interested with something similar for industrial and public transit cases. I totally get that it's feasible to run a common household with 100% solar+batteries, but I'm less convinced a train or an hospi

Italy (and others) could (and should) do both. Only thinking in terms of cost is short vision IMO. What happens if in 20/30 years you need to dramatically ramp up the energy generation (maybe everyone will drive electric, maybe house h

On one hand I agree, on the other hand, their claim that they are too small to support a large community of developers is not wrong. Also, they claim "zero telemetry", so I don't really know what's going on, I know it&#x

It's not just that. It's that the rest of the world is moving at light speed compared with EU. If people in EU want this project to survive, they need to change attitude, a lot. If they are OK to let the EU project fail, they need

You are right for sure saying to wait for the actual repos. But on the other hand, compare this announcement in a README.md file in a GitHub repo with this slideware approach of EU https://openeurollm.eu/ If I had to bet on

Then thank you for the service. I'm using Kagi since a few months and I love you guys!

OK, but what about the rest of the world that doesn't get to vote for this?

I'm adding onto this: I think that the whole SPA concept is wrong most of the time. You want most of the time some sort of state persistence in the url, so that you can bookmark/pass around something that is meaningful, not someth

by tigroferoce 2y ago
100% agree with this. And I’d put most of the software into this category. Also, let me offer you a different view on the software you use a lot and therefore want to support. The more a software/service is important to you, the more y

Ok, but think what would happen if you made a subscription and the provider went bankruptcy. Or was acquired by someone who shuts down the service? You would have payed for something that all of a sudden disappears and you have nothing, not

I strongly believe that Google Video would have been killed by Google long ago. They bought YouTube because they couldn't create it themselves. And they never managed to turn that into a real product, IMO. But there are just my opinion

It's not that it's not big. It's that it's not as big as it could be. It's not gmail-big or maps-big, at least for me. It is outclassed by many other, in their respective niches (video streaming, music, and social n

I'd dare to say that Google is very bad at doing products. They tried so many times and almost always failed, the list of products killed by Google is huge, They really succeeded in search, maps and gmail; all of these products are eng

This is not necessarily true. For instance someone coming from Linux might be uncomfortable installing non open source source from not trusted origin (I.e. not the distribution package manager). Also, installing anything anywhere is potenti

I (and I think many people here) would be more than happy to pay a reasonable price for a reasonable product (haven’t tried yet this, but I think anything between 2$ and 10$ would be fine). I know that software is not free to build, so I do

I also do that sometimes. Like when they put you on hold when you need them? I put them on hold when they need me. I go like "sure, I'm very interested.. can you just wait one second?" and then I put the mic on mute and go on

What I usually do is keeping them on the phone as long as possible with questions and then tell them I don't want what they are selling. I worked in a place that had call centres as part of their business and I know that they classify

I’m curious about your region and your social circle (genuine question, not provocative). Absolutely zero of my contacts use signal. Some use element. Zero use iMessage. Almost 100% use WhatsApp. I’m in Europe, middle class, family with kid

The current scenario is so broken. You have multiple different platforms that do not interoperate with each other. Different platforms have become the standard de facto in different regions of the world (iMessage in us, WhatsApp in Europe,

Also, this dream ends the very moment you need an hospital. Hospitals are complex structures that require immense amount of resources to operate. Not not mention the resources needed to develop drugs, train doctors and so on. Maybe you coul

I have to say that in Italy (and Europe) in general they are not that bad. Still way behind google maps. Like anything else unfortunately. Anyway my point stands: if something doesn't have a clear business model, I'm not happy u

by tigroferoce 3y ago
Fun. I get your point, but I, on the other hand, can't happily commit to a service that is "free". The real problem of Apple Maps is that outside of the US it's quite poor, so one is forced to use google maps quite frequ

I might agree, but my experience with this brand in particular is that I buy much less devices, and I pay them more. All in all I think that the money I spend is similar, but the quantity of devices is lower. Again, this is MY experience, i

by tigroferoce 3y ago
My point is that if there is a market for devices that can be easily repaired, then there will be devices that can be easily repaired. If there is no such a market, then there will be no such devices. If the second case is true, we can clea

I second you word by word. Years ago I was brought to twitter compared to Facebook exactly because you could read without being logged in. After a few years it had become a hellish place with lots of flames and arguments, but it still had s
