Sorry guys I’m out of the loop - could someone explain this?

I think learning how to make packages for package managers is also becoming less popular :(

Even learning how to do the simplest thing possible that is easy to package by anybody - something like a tarball or zip - is becoming less popular :(

omg that is sssooooo exaggerated like 1000% take that back pls

Back in 2005, I never would have thought YouTube would be so popular as it is now. But here we are over 15 years later. Teens probably think Facebook is uncool, and apparently they're not all on Instagram "almost constantly" the same way as TikTok. Yet there is YouTube, chugging along, hugely popular for young and old.

Cross-platform clients, yes, but that's only a (small) part of the way there. For example, Signal is actively hostile to other client implementations just like Apple is with iMessage, unfortunately :(

I’ve found this feature mostly reliable. Those times where it doesn’t work, or I’m travelling, or don’t have phone reception is kinda annoying. But being able to just use my Mac is fantastic.

It’s really about interoperability of systems, protocols, services, and clients. Since we’re both using Lemmy I assume we both understand at least a bit about the significance of interoperability.

I think it’s a shame that effort is put in to reverse engineering.

I don’t think it is clear that everyone wanted to follow to Microsoft: https://www.businessinsider.com/openai-employees-did-not-want-to-work-for-microsoft-2023-12

Hey no problem :) I totally understand and read through the linked README. FWIW I find the fact that Lemmy is in Rust, pretty... tricky. Getting Lemmy to run on my OpenBSD server started with a couple of crazy segfaults!

Especially with their sizes: Broadcom has 20,000 employees and VMWare has 38,000.

"As part of integration planning, and following an organizational needs assessment, we identified go-forward roles that will be required within the combined company."

Totally devoid of any humanity. Corporate jargon freaks me out. It shouldn't, but it really gets to me.

You may be able to run a torrent client on the NAS?
