as if the technology is what makes livestream services difficult anyways lmao
it’s just expensive as shit because it involves a lot of data

i still do not fathom how mastodon is difficult, do people just expect the platform to read your mind and do everything for you? How is it any more difficult than youtube?

i will never stop wanting to commit severe crime every time i try to see what’s using the processor and every single fucking system monitor tool just says it’s xorg

YES THANK YOU VERY USEFUL GOOD

this is what peertube tries to fix: everyone watching a peertube video (by default) will help server the data to other watching, so instead of the server needing to send all the data the viewers share the load.

well why is it good? why not just assume the boilerplate as the default and require the user to override it if they want to do something fancy?

it’s just busywork to always need to write the same stuff, and it also makes the code less readable and many people look at all that boilerplate and nope the fuck out.

This is why python is so good for getting people to realize that programming isn’t magic, you just write the equivalent of one short sentence and BAM text in the terminal, no need to import the basic ability to print text which is so incredibly inane.

i love how people bend over backwards to justify the placement, and STILL the best you can come up with is “it’s not THAT bad”

i do not “hope”, i have faith in the lord 🙏

i don’t think the current situation is even that good, they’re not repackaging themselves they just straight up ship in the small flour bags all the way from the factory.

another thing no one seems to bring up in these discussions is that we don’t have to package things in the way we do, we could be selling things in bulk and have customers bring reusable containers that store staff will fill with the amount they want.

It’s not even optimal for customers to buy things in the way we currently do, you generally either have to buy significantly more than you actually want or you have to buy several packages and just be pissing away money paying for the packaging materials…

with per-weight bulk sales you can get precisely as much as you need and pay proportionally to that, and you get soooooo much less trash to spend energy on managing.

except here in sweden we’re verifiably recycling a significant percentage of our plastics, and have like… the world leading recycling facility.

It’s clearly doable, countries just opt not to invest in the facilities to actually do it, and rather than reaching the obvious conclusion of “just build the recycling facilities” people conclude that plastic apparently cannot be recycled (despite evidence to the contrary).

at this point i have utterly forgotten how windows works and when placed in front of a computer not running linux i just get frustrated that it won’t let me do things properly

LET ME OPEN A TERMINAL AND USE REGULAR COMMANDS YOU OVERBUILT TOASTER

that stupid huge amount of packages is honestly a pretty big UX issue, at least personally that just makes me chuckle at their optimism and close the page as every bit of energy i had vaporizes from the thought of figuring out what to download.

what have i got to hide?
my relationship with your dad

they’re SSDs compared to hard drives

almost like it has box in the name for some sort of reason

also worth pointing out that fdroid supports reproducible builds, which helps quite a bit with being trustable.

give it a few hours and the meat just falls off the bones

AI might be the future but certainly not like we’re currently doing it, it’s like saying “electric vehicles are the future” when you’re only referring to cars.
