I only visited for a few weeks and wow what beautiful countries.

I hope this gets its own Wikipedia article.

It’s always going to be a subjective process. The difference is I try to base it on effort and value for time. I’m not a computer but I can influence what I value. I can appreciate a good argument or an opinion I don’t like. I’m not perfect, but I think I can strive for that.

If that feels like the same thing as approval, then I perhaps a moment of self-reflection on whether things can have value that one dislikes is in order. I hope Lemmy won’t become more of an echo chamber than it already is.

Upvote: any insightful contribution even if I don’t agree with it.

Downvote: Remove this. Don’t show it to others. Was not worth my time to read this content because it contains false information, trolling, etc.

I’d like to encourage others not to use down votes for simple disagreement. Lemmy needs participation from thinking people.

Not everything is Chrome just yet. We still have Gecko and Webkit holding on.

It was fun! It worked well when compared with IE back in the day which isn’t saying much, but it was a sensible bedfellow with iTunes and all the Apple mobile support software that was common to run alongside for your iPod. I enjoyed using it as my main browser because it was aesthetically pleasing.

Apple used rigged demos and made false claims about their own technology so outstanding that their own project managers were taken aback by how far behind the features actually were vs. what was pushed. There’s already informal documentaries on the massive internal disconnects within Apple that have lead to poor product testing and stagnation.

I did use Safari for Windows back in the day. It was a product they indeed shipped.

I came here just to write this – I thought we clearly chose to leave behind cybersecurity because education and science are bad.

A classic Casio wristwatch.

Gentlemen, terrorist, or the best engineer you’ve ever met.

This is exactly what some of my extended family uses because there’s literally no other option. Not even cellular.

This isn’t even up in the mountains or something. This is just rural Alabama where kids are struggling to do homework because they just don’t have access, and it all but guarantees that their technology skills will remain woefully outdated.

I remember when they had DSL not that long ago and I would turn off updates on everything because it was a complete waste of time to attempt.

We’re not really a first world country. I’m not sure that we ever were.

It’s truly amazing how stupid Americans can be. I was hoping better for my fellow citizens but I guess not.

I ask AI to avoid all the AI slop search results I’d have to sift through when I could get my slop delivered directly.

And here I am adopting abandoned ports on FreeBSD and packaging applications that I didn’t even write as a hobby.

Good point. Maybe it depends on what I want to happen when that load spike comes.

I was promised 15 years ago that cloud computing would avoid unexpected bills and provide consistent expenses that project managers love so much.

I suspect for a lot of their members, the goal was achieved. The guns may have been secondary.

I always remove the eggs in the Fibonacci sequence first until I run out of indices, and then I remove them in order by index.

You may underestimate user dedication. I love my instance and totally would come back after a few months away temporarily.

You got me on the communities though.

Fediverse is designed to handle servers with less than stellar reliability.
