Just use gmail…come on. Who’s using clients in 2023. Even outlook’s web interface is better.

Kind of, yeah. But the foldable gives a tablet experience that you just fold and put in your pocket. It’s epic.
Very true about 3DS…
I mean I’m on my fold 5 right now while watching a YouTube video and responding to messages at the same time… doesn’t feel like a gimmack to me. In fact I kind of feel like it’s going to be hard to ever go back to a single form factor phone.
Also good to remember there’s also newer tech like alphafold from the deepmind project - using AI to really, really accelerate development.
Absolutely blows my mind.
It’s a technical set of problems.
What’s funny is truely distributed compute is totally possible today, thanks to a lot of work done in the blockchain community. Notice I said blockchain and not crypto, we don’t want the bullshit associated with that (coins, nfts etc). What we want is distributed compute and storage that can be read in a way that provides the same function as Reddit etc. Coupled with a good client experience like sync.
The biggest problem with that though is that blockchain that is truely distributed is slow by nature, because each block of data is distributed and validated to all nodes that host to keep consistency. And the larger a site becomes, the more data there is to store, and the more resource intensive verification becomes so therefore the nodes slowly gain a higher set of requirements.
So the middle ground is something like Lemmy. Where you can run your own instance, that talks to a wider federated network of instances where no one single entity can control the content.
In tech, a lot of the above is explained by a concept called CAP theorem. It’s a really interesting problem that has only really been solved by a few vendors (google spanner is a good one) but even then it doesn’t cover the distributed part.
Im the same. But at the same time Zuck is a super intelligent guy. Look at his recent podcast with Lex Fridman. Meta might be an evil corp, but he’s an intelligent, interesting and somewhat self-made individual.
On the other hand, old mate musk used his parents wealth to build a company at an early age that the went on to build more. The more I learn about him, the more I understand he did the classic “surround yourself with smarter people” move while having cash to throw around
In eu. Its amazing what happens when legislation works.
