Sorry. My bad.

Thank you.

The Rust community on Lemmy had been foreshadowing this all along.

I am fine with “when’s day” as long as we rename the following day as “then’s day” instead of “their’s day”.

Asking the right questions.

I feel like the only true possibility of an alternative is like such a place, a single project that is consistent everywhere and lets people have their entire work, so that it looks centralized, even if it’s not.

I agree. Version control might be the ideal domain to pull this off in, or at least it has the most potential.

Thank you. I am aware of Tesseract but didn’t know this was its logo.

Can you also share more context behind your original comment?

There have been multiple alternative front ends for Lemmy especially since the Reddit API exodus.

E: grammar and typos.

Ummm… What is that logo?

That may be a good idea. However, people have had around 25 years of familiarity with all things centralised on the internet and the conveniences associated with it. If anything, we are doubling down on the centralised nature of the internet.

It will take a great amount of time and effort to build a equivalently convenient decentralised alternatives, and to overcome the inertia to migrate to it.

The latter I believe is only possible when something enormously drastic happens. We had a good number of drastic events happen in the last decade (Twitter poisoning, Meta privacy breaches, Reddit shenanigans), but none enough to convince people to move to alternatives.

Another possibility is for regulations and/or governments to support the alternatives, but that may have unintended side effects of its own.

Call it the network effect, or the momentum of becoming a staple in the tech community, or whatever; GitHub is here to stay for a while, and the leaders in charge of it are well aware of this.

GitHub has gained enough attention that it is almost impossible to ignore. Projects on GitHub tend to attract a level of engagement (code contributions, issue reports, and feedback) that other code forges do not enjoy.

One unfortunate consequence of this, which I have experienced recently, is when recruiters ask for links to my past work or open-source contributions but refuse to accept links to relevant repositories on GitLab. The number of companies where this occurred was significant enough for me to set up mirror repositories on GitHub.

Another frustrating but silly consequence was when I was questioned during one of the interviews why my activity graph on GitHub was empty: I had simply not enabled it.

Would this make Steve Balmer a person who applies Steve’s Balm on themselves or on another person, or a person who makes Steve’s Balm?

This is taking “testing in production” to a whole new level. How did this get past the regulations?

On second thoughts, does any country have concrete regulations for self driving vehicles? I am curious what they would be, and how they would quantify the thresholds since no self driving solution would be 100% accident-free.

I guess I am lucky that it does not refuse to work since it is my default browser across all my machines.

Why?

Does one reboot their entire system after updating Firefox on Linux?

I never do. I don’t even restart Firefox after updating, if it is already running.

Having read the entire thread, I can only assume this to be sarcasm.

I have been journaling since 2019. It was born out of the need to manage my tasks and thoughts at work. But then it was helpful enough to start doing it for all the aspects of my life.

Started out with a simple notepad lying around at my office. Moved to Obsidian and now Emacs’ Org-Mode.

But I still use a nice notebook for journaling when I am not around my machine or when I want to jot something urgently. I digitise it later, if necessary.

In fact, I prefer using pen and paper over my machine (which has a very, very comfortable and enjoyable keyboard), as I find it more personal, private and deliberate.

Regardless of whether it is truly superior (it isn’t, but neither is Cursor, if you think about it), it is actually more tedious to “cut and paste” the “source code file” and then paste back the output.

It is far simpler to just initiate a chat within Cursor, allowing it to identify all the files necessary for context alongside the one being viewed.

Vim was my primary tool of development for over a decade, and I used Obsidian for about 3 years. However, in early 2024, I tried out Emacs and never looked back.

I find it functionally equivalent to Vim albeit perceivably slower, and Org-mode (+Denote) is far superior than Markdown and Obsidian with its slew of plugins.

Migrating my 3 years worth of notes was a pain since I was using Obsidian’s variant of Markdown syntax to link other notes. In the end I gave up trying to convert those notes, and used them alongside my new Org-mode notes, thanks to Denote’s interoperability.

In fact, Denote’s naming philosophy is so powerful yet simple that I started using it for all documents and downloads.
