The comment two above this links to a tool that literally does live syncing on a line by line level. Unless you’re editing the same lines at the same time you’re not going to get sync conflicts.

I use it as well and it works wonderfully in real time.

Yes, literally anyone that wants to sell a product or provide a service relies, to a large degree, on advertising.

It’s been this way for over a century.

You literally can’t.

There’s a ton of stuff you can’t do with the new garbage settings.

Let’s not even mention that on an operating system called “Windows” you can only have one “window” of settings open. And opening new settings will just replace where you just where. Which is extremely rage inducing.

I very specifically want an app that collates all the information that can possibly be gathered about me in a way that I can utilize and abuse it myself. For me there is a lot of utility and value to be found with this sort of thing.

Of course the security posture of said app needs to be rather robust. And instead of it being an app it should instead be an SDK that I can then choose and control my own storage medium for.

Never not

I hope it happens one day, but that’s an almost insurmountable task given the scale.

Take the entirety of the fediverse, and it’s entire history, and you’re probably talking a days worth of search engine indexing compute & storage.

The scale is large and the fediverse is incredibly small. Keeping my fingers crossed, but definitely not holding my breath.

In the meantime, I’ll use Kagi.

My current spouse and I have full transparency with each other about our socials :)

It just organically happened over many years. There is no distrust if we’re on each other’s phones, and we respect stated boundaries.

It’s nice.

No, it sums up a very specific type of AI…

Blanket statement are dumb.

Red flag behavior.

Ohhh, you get to pay based on the meters of mouse movement you do. Usage based billing, perfect.

We already do, with intentionally fast breaking switches. They get away with charging $100 for a mouse, and ensuring a $0.30 part will break long before the devices useful lifetime. Generating mountains of ewaste.

Why can’t they get away with the next step, which is charging a subscription fee to use their mice as well?

Which is planned obsolescence anyways.

It’s not a dopey idea, it’s an enshitification one, and one we will see again because there are no consequences.

Logitech will have subscription hardware, guaranteed. They’ll just go back to the drawing board on how to market anti-consumer practices better.

And similarly are antitrust regulations have done nothing to prevent companies like Logitech from just acquiring all of their competitors and then doing this anyways once there is no more competition. And even using potential competitors into bankruptcy before they can actually compete.

The bullshit asymmetry principle is in full effect here.

It takes nothing to make up bullshit and it takes hundreds, thousands, of times the resources to refute it.

Meanwhile another hundred pieces of bullshit have been created.

This is all just a bunch of red herrings and we waste so much time and effort into giving them attention.

This… Isn’t how large scale technologies work. Not even close, not even “same planet” close. That’s also not how antitrust breakups work, why open source private technologies? How do you think that’s supposed to work? How does that precedent work?

You could open source all ~15,000+ repos from my company, and be entirely incapable of actually operating the grand majority of it. And we’re, maybe, 1/10,000th the size of Google on the tech side.

You also can’t just “split” a single technology apart, that’s gloriously, ignorantly, simplistic. You’re talking potentially years of dedicated work by hundreds, thousands, of individuals to achieve something like that. How do you expect that to operate?

It’s going to be a nightmare to just rip seemingly unrelated, but interdependent, verticals of Google apart. Your request here is wholely unrealistic.

Ah yes, the browser that monetizers based on activity tracking. The one based on chromium, handing Google further control over web standards. The browser with a a mysterious nearly unlimited budget for advertising before they even had a handful of users. That browser.

Yeah that’s the problem is guessing what they meant.

Seriously, and I still want to play it. Like every other games that seems continuous improvement, there will be an active and dedicated player base for it.

I hate these new trends of “Oh, that game came out last month, it’s too old now”.

I plan on playing again when it’s further fleshed out. It’ll be super fun.

You would be paying for the privilege of using a Logitech mouse of course!

The company has to grow indefinitely and you my friendly consumer are the back on which they will walk to do so.

Don’t worry I’m sure they’ll never acquire smaller and successful manufacturers that risk undermining their profit structures.

They don’t even make good mice technically because of planned obsolescence.

Their switches die, intentionally, long before the life time of any other components on their mice. And have for nearly 10 years now.
