    I’m smart and I’m mostly fine with my minority dying out. It’s definitely sad that in 50 years people will look at things my people created and will not understand any of it but then again, it’s a natural process. I’m sure our art will somehow influence their art and in a way it will live on.











  • This was written by someone who never dealt with user requests. Typical user not only doesn’t know how to define requirements in a clear way, they also don’t understand limitations of the technology, side effects their changes can cause or different aspects of usability, compatibility and accessibility.

    Those are the abilities that limit who can contribute to projects, not coding skills.

    So for example you want an adaptive rewind time. Is it on by default? Where is in the settings? How does it interact with current auto-rewind feature (can you enable both at the same time?)? How do you name it so that typical user knows what it does? It’s not that those are difficult questions to answer. It’s that you need think about all that before you start changing code other people will use. Typical users don’t have the knowledge or experience required to do it. And it gets way more complicated with bigger changes.


  • The way the EU approaches this walled garden problem, is to try and offer ways for other competitors to tap into the user base of the bigger players instead of trying to allow all EU citizens to chat with any other EU citizen who uses META Products regardless of their host platform.

    Probably because of spam? I don’t think you can open up all the communicators to every self hosted server there is. It would be a disaster.
