But the Android app is already available. Although I can’t log in… Is this because the server is overwhelmed or are Android users indeed blocked? Why would they release the app then?

Idk. I agree that it’s a bad practice, but I also don’t understand the downvotes. I think in this context it’s valid to share your preference whether to update or not. Maybe some people just click dislike because it has lots of dislikes? Who knows :)

I use it for explaining stuff when studying for uni and I do it like this: If I don’t understand e.g. a definition, I ask an LLM to explain it, read the original definition again and see if it makes sense.

This is an informal approach, but if the definition is sufficiently complex, false answers are unlikely to lead to an understanding. Not impossible ofc, so always be wary.

For context: I’m studying computer science, so lots of math and theoretical computer science.

But they run locally on the phone, if I’m not completely mistaken. So no use for a server.

Or do they offer this option? I think they explicitly advertise no internet access.

I only know that I was pleasantly surprised how well GNOME ran on a surface device of a friend.

Explain please. What’s the true meaning and what’s the intended one?

Speaks to the fact that we apparently need better and new alternatives or make current tools easier to use.

Certain aspects of discord seem to resonate with people (unfortunately…).

Man pages are great as mentioned, but maybe not as accessible to some people. Are there tools to generate more convenient resources (e.g. wikis) from that? Similar to how generating technical documentations from (structured) code comments.

Do you know why?

Isn’t screen sharing working since some time? Works even on WebEx from Firefox, can pick any window to share. Granted a few years back it didn’t work, but now it does. Maybe it’s a zoom bug… 🤔

Someone should make a post about why blocking Threads is good and why it’s not to be confused with gate keeping. If not properly communicated, this could look very badly for the uninitiated and they’re not to blame.

Some people of course have an educated opinion against blocking, but many presumably don’t know the reasons behind it.

Absolutely. I didn’t mean to say he “only” changed my view, in case that’s the impression. He is a great man, the entire (digital) world is built on his legacy so to say, yet barely anyone knows about him.

PS: little anecdote as I once went to an Apple Store and scrolled through the software licenses in the settings on an iPad of iOS and found one crediting Richard Stallman as the author. I just left it like that, thought it’s funny having his name on an iPad in the Apple Store :p

Yeah just fucking sad. This guy changed the way I think about software, releasing code I write, contributing etc. Would be so sad to see him go.
