It is dogshit compared to tiktok in the only functionality that matters - algorithmic matching of content to user.
Yeah ok it can stream a video cool. That’s not worth a can of beans in 2025 - can it give you content that you want to see when you want to see it?
The answer is a resounding no right now. Until it’s consistently serving up top notch pairings of content to user interest it wont stand a chance in the mainstream.
As of Salesforce didn’t suck enough as is
I know there is Loops, but it’s not open source or federated yet, so it’s not really an option.
Because the app store isn’t the only way to install an app. It is trivially easy to side load apps and it’s well within the technologic skillset of the average 12 year old.
They’ve set it up so it’s a legal mess. The platforms aren’t given any mechanism to actually perform verifications (no double blind id system, for example) but are legally on the hook for each and every under-16 on the platforms. A quote in the article suggests it should be the app stores verifying which is even more fucking stupid.
Yeah I’m speaking from experience here in that about a third of my pay is in stock.
I wouldn’t say my pay is low though, for what it’s worth.
Tech is a bit different because a significant portion of your compensation comes as stock when you get higher up the ladder but yeah.
How are any electric car makers so unreliable. They’re so mechanically simple.
How the hell do you fuck up so badly that you’re the bottom of the list Rivian??
My mid 20s were when I hit a major mental breaking point. If I hadn’t had a good support network of friends close to me and family I could turn to…
26 is old enough to feel like you’ve lost everything and that nothing will ever be good again. He left a good career for his morals and lost all hope of employment from it.
Unfortunately they walled garden themselves pretty universally. I’ve been on Tidal since Spotify fired all those people and have been really enjoying it.
Maybe I’m crazy but I feel like their recommended music is also way better.
This is happening because Spotify laid off half it’s staff and thought it could get away with it.
Power over Ethernet is a helluva drug
I bet USB c connections could fit in a floppy drive slot
Yes but we’re also more mastodon less bluesky. If a bluesky-esque clone of Reddit comes along with better UX and paving over the issues of federation then it will win, the way Bluesky has beaten out Mastodon as the Twit alternate
Affinity is great
New devs: “wow a new sdk version”
Old devs: “Ah fuck I’ve gotta change how we request permissions again”
You might not notice it but us Android devs do.
Zoom ai transcriptions also make things up.
That’s the point. They’re hallucination engines. They pattern match and fill holes by design. It doesn’t matter if the match isn’t perfect, it will patch it over with nonsense instead.
It’s a chemical bath because there are various chemicals that they’re using to bathe them. I was lumping ozone bath, sodium bicarb bath and AlEW bath together and they’re all 3 different chemicals.
It’s a bath because they’re being bathed which has nothing to do with scrubbing.
AlEW bath is 48–85% after 45 minutes at a PH of 12
Refrigeration was 60.9–90.2%. A 20 minute water bath was 26.7–62.9%.
My advice is, and always was, scrub your veggies for 30 seconds before use.
Your advice is plan it out so that you’ve got a high PH solution that you leave your veggies in for 45 minutes before use.
If you see those as equal I have no idea how. I cook all the time - the amount of times that I’ve got 45 minutes of prep before starting is next to 0. I can’t eat at 9pm every night because I spent an hour waiting around for veggies to purify when I can simply wash them off in the sink.
It’s insane that you wont see reason, but I get that you’ve decided you’re right and can never change your mind.
The bystander effect is mostly misunderstood and the way it’s depicted here is almost entirely myth.

You’re almost guaranteed to be helped by a bystander. Kitty Genovese was murdered where nobody could see after bystanders shouted at the guy from the building in his first attempt.
