TBH, I wanted to volunteer on a local crew that maintains hiking trails. I didn't... because they were all about taking endless pics and u/l it to their FB and maybe IG. So I avoided sth I wanted to do make my city better. But no way could I avoid their need to share everything with big tech.

Its hard, and this is a common issue. I have to stop and ask what good am I doing by avoiding it? Usually it's worth the price, because making the real world a better place out weighs most big tech issues.

At least that's how intrt to evaluate things, while still minimizing my own footprint where possible.

Believe it or not in some ways they are better and more flexible and in other ways they're more limited. Basically they are totally separate situations to the same problem.

Since they now have the same owner, you've already identified which one is gaining features and fixes.

Slowly I turned.

I think it could be, but the implication is at issue. It's not like we need to update text books to say Jupiter isn't the biggest planet anymore. It's that we need to update the new versions to show how our improved measuring has allowed us to refine our knowledge.

Agreed. They have steadily added new features that don't bloat the experience. It's just a little too constrained for my tastes, but the rest of the Polish makes up for it.

[-] fuzzzerd@programming.dev 2 points 7 months ago

I mostly agree. It won't replace people directly, but it might let companies do more with fewer developers.

Not to say they don't need anyone, but maybe they get by with 75 instead of 100 developers? Hard to say where that falls because the outcomes if ai usage are so variable based on skill of operator and the target codebase.

Good tip on prepping the drain pipe traps, that should help. I'm sure there are better options if you have the right tools but as a stopgap solution, it would help lower the freezing point and gives you better odds of not coming back to a cracked pipe.

Non developers and non technical people that are already accustomed to bad software, basically following the broken window problem combined with lack of knowledge to do better.

I'm not saying I agree, and I hope saner heads prevail, but I can definitely see the future trending this direction not because it's best but because it's easier and maybe cheaper (by some measurement).

There is definitely a lot of work and improvement in this area needed. It's frustrating to see them pouring resources into other parts of the ecosystem that I don't use, but my hope is that brings in enough users to help increase functionality across the whole ecosystem over time.

How big is this thing? do you access it (via passenger) while driving or do you have to pull off?

Been eyeing one myself but haven't found a good mixture of size and convenience that I feel it could replace fast food and gas station sodas.

One that lead to the other? Or both.

Felt the same way, and when I had time and thoughts to post the server was down. Glad to see it back up with an upgrade.
