The view count trap is going to exist and be effective as long as humans feel the need for validation. Let's pretend you have a blog, you're writing on it for years. It's affecting people positively. But nobody ever says a th

It is a problem, but it's also partially self-inflicted. Compare reviews on Steam to reviews on Airbnb. You'll quickly notice something, Steam shows you far more information at a glance. You get to know whether someone bought the

At the very least, if you're going to propose a solution (to any problem), make sure it actually tackles the problem so that the problem is lessened or ceases to exist after the solution is applied. Otherwise what you've proposed

Some great notes here! Moderating is hard, but it's crucial in development. Too much or too little of anything has absurd longterm impacts. Moderation mixed with education has tremendous positive impacts. Going with the alcohol example

They have the same incentive as with supporting mac with react-native-macos, more platforms to push their services onto. The limitation seems to be technical, as other react-native on QT projects seem to have been all abandoned (Valence Nat

I suppose the following group counts as idiots, but a lot of them are naive rather than actively malicious. You'll see people argue of things like oh who cares about privacy, I post online all the time and nothing happens. Completely o

I've made the transition to multiple different services over the years, not on a large professional scale so I cannot comment on doing that and I reckon doing that would require completely different advice than I am suggesting below. I

Jeff Kaufman has also repeated this, as of very recently. [1] Stating, he would like to see more people take this approach to their privacy. What's interesting is he generally is aware of groups of people that should not do so, like th

Standardize communication, if the team talks on discord, have a channel for design. If there are github issue labels for feature requests, have labels for various design requests. Things like this go a long way! Contrast how people feel abo

I definitely agree with these two major pain points. It relates to some of my personal experience as well, you would have to effectively solo an entire design markup just to potentially get key FOSS members on board with design changes. Y

Doesn't this create the same problem, albeit on a different pain point? Now the service/methods you use to sync and store your DBs are a problem without much benefit? I've seen people use keepass and then google drive, which

One of the great difficulty of tackling that problem is often FOSS projects are averse to design decisions like that made by someone relatively fresh to the project - even if the problem is incredibly obvious to the designers and not the co

Your link is actually a great example. It's readable, you know what each part of the link is for (unless you're tech illiterate in which case just the readable quality is enough). And so by clicking it, I know I'll probably h

You're searching for purity when it does not and cannot exist in our current system. Of course a figure like Sweeney isn't some pure altruistic being, but the fact remains that due to his main goal overlapping with the good of the

There's another layer to this, people who work for a simple exchange of money (and the important part is we're talking people making more than the average in the field, not somebody at mcdonalds) are prone to going along with deci

If you're seriously making that transition, then you should learn one of the two dominant general gaming engines - Unity or Unreal. Both of them have exceptional documentation and can be deployed in a wide variety of platforms. If you&
