Could you tell me what the app is called? I’m not a furry but I am interested in the design of dating apps. This sounds like my ideal design for a dating app and it’s cool to hear that something like that exists :)

If you’re contributing to a larger project, it might not be trivial to modify the .gitignore file, because you might have to go through a review process and so on. It might be easier to just ignore something locally.

If you want to break out of the windows mold, tiling windows managers are where its at. You’ve already explored that route with i3, and there are other alternatives, but they all have a bit of a learning curve unfortunately. hyprland might be worth a try. I’ve only dabbled but I did remember it being a bit more beginner friendly than i3. But be prepared to be confused, read a bunch of forum posts and edit config files for a bit.

Sure, but my point is that you’ll end up with one “main” remote where you have all git forge stuff even if you push to multiple remotes. By all means, don’t make github the main one!

For git itself sure, but all the other things that come with a git forge, like issue management, are probably things that you don’t want spread out over multiple websites

Is the decompiled code guaranteed to be equivalent to the compiled code? While this might be cool it doesn’t seem that useful if you can’t reason about the correctness of the output. I skimmed the README and didn’t manage to figure it out

Comments can become outdated, but so can variable and function names. “Self-documenting” code often relies on appropriate naming, yet this is also subject to rot as the code develops.

Actually this is trivial to circumvent if you self-host: you can run your own PDS (personal data storage) and just say that you’re over 18

While jellyfin itself is very simple, you might run in to problems if you want to use it while not on your home network. For this you’re either wanna use a VPN (or tailscale) or use something like nginx to give your server a web address, while you get this for free if you use plex.

Giving yourself a public address might be easier for the person trying to access jellyfin, but it it comes with a bunch of security considerations and you probably (definetly) want to do some research on the inns and outs of that. I would recommend tailscale but either way it’s gonna be some extra fiddling, unless you already have something like that set up.

I think that linux has a couple of things that might help it grow outside its traditional niche that it hasn’t in the past. Proton has been a major step forward in to the gaming scene. A lot of people are very unhappy about windows 11. The EU in particular is also investing in ways to get out from under American techs thumb due to the geopolitical landscape.

I don’t have too high expectations personally but who knows.

I think the case is more that OpenAI made certain design choices not with the goal of it driving people to suicide, but with suicide as a possible and in their eyes acceptable cost?

Another option if you don’t have a family is to use DLNA for streaming to the TV, most TV’s have native support for that and you can just set up your computer to work as a DLNA server.

I do use a media server but I could probably get away with just syncthing to sync my computer and phone, it would probably be easier even. Of course, if you have more than 2tb and you want it all at your fingertips then a media server is probably the right call.

Yeah I in general think that Graber is very good at giving good answers in interviews!

Honestly even if bluesky does become enshittyfied, which is a very real possibility, the work they’ve done on AT proto so far will probably be extremely useful for whoever takes a crack at a more decentralized internet next. There are a lot of clearly smart and passionate people who are given space to research and experiment with different ways of doing things and I think that’s both very valuable and interesting

I agree that the interviewer shouldn’t have implied that they are decentralized today! I don’t know if bluesky even say that they are decentralized themselves, on their website it says that they’re “building an open foundation for the social internet” which is more accurate but maybe they mischaracterize themselves somewhere else.

So first of, the part of my comment that you quoted doesn’t make sense because what I’m saying is that bluesky theoretically allows for decentralized relays but it’s impractical in practice. Your analogy doesn’t really apply to that.

I do think that it’s misleading to call bluesky decentralized today (at least without any caveats). The goal of the project however is to eventually create a more meaningfully decentralized social network and they have tangible plans for moving in that direction so I think it’s unfair to dismiss this aspect of bluesky completely.

I think that it’s fair to want the interviewer to ask more critical questions and in general be more precise with their phrasing but

repeat that PR talking point

is a very cynical and uncharitable take on bluesky and decentralization. Cynical takes aren’t necessarily wrong but they’re not necessarily correct either.

The AT protocol is by its own account an ongoing project with problems that still need be solved before it is able to provide a social network with all the properties that they’re interested in.

I don’t think that it’s accurate to say that bluesky is “completely” centralized (it is less centralized than most social media) as much as it’s de-facto centralized. One reason for this is that it’s prohibitively expensive to self-host relays. This is something that the AT protocol devs have plans for addressing, so it’s possible that this de-facto centralization is a temporary stage in the evolution of bluesky and AT proto.

It is of course possible that they are lying or that they will be unsuccessful despite best intentions but taking for granted that it’s just a “PR talking point” is, once again, very cynical in a way that I don’t think is completely motivated.

They are open to drop some features apparently, but maybe not “90%”

The developers are taking a “less is more” approach. This means that some features of the original sudo may not be reimplemented if they serve only niche, or more recently considered “outdated” practices.

tldr is great, sometimes you can’t remember the exact syntax for a certain command and just need a quick reminder as well.
