That feels obvious to me, and has for quite some time. The fact the hype machine has been saying the opposite for over two years has kept me second guessing my gut intuition, and yet I kept coming back to this us good and useful in some scenarios, but it will take a lot of big jumps to replace people becsuse coding was never the hard part.

How big is this thing? do you access it (via passenger) while driving or do you have to pull off?

Been eyeing one myself but haven’t found a good mixture of size and convenience that I feel it could replace fast food and gas station sodas.

I thought it was the tracker for the torrent downloads and I was like can’t we just create magnet links?

Result tracking for the isos makes more sense.

That won’t work either, because F-Droid produces the builds themselves.

No, as it stands this is the end of F-Droid. Each developer registration must include the manifest IDs of all apps they publish. No way F-droid can include all the apps they publish in their registration.

Its a progressive web app, which means it is available as a browser based site that can be installed like an app.

Additionally that “like an app” part is packaged up and available on play and FDroid stores.

Same. I’m more confused after reading.

How arduous is that for non developers? Is this something a regular non-technical person can do?

Glad there is a workaround, I’m mostly curious how likely it is to be used.

Only sometimes. I’ve seen the mute button be disabled on numerous machines. Worth knowing and trying when the screen is blaring ads at you, but my success rate has been low in muting them.

That’s a neat idea, and on the surface sounds good. I am wondering whether there are unseen issues with this type of setup.

Similar to how I have found success with it. Is it revolutionary? No, not at all. But it’s a variable sized (big for some use and nonexistent for other use) incremental tool that requires a new skill set to use effectively.

Mix in all of the hype and its easy to see why people are confused and why some get different results.

Not automated, but I have a regular signal backup to a local folder that occurs nightly. I manually push a copy up to proton drive once a month or so. 🤷‍♂️

That is because signal already stores media for 45 days as part of ensuring delivery to every device in your account.

I don’t know when Microsoft would cave, but Nepal asking them to remove it probably isn’t going to that level. Maybe they geoblock but I can’t see them removing it for a everyone.

As a regular user, besides tap to pay what do you use NFC for? I get your point that it works, but what uses are there besides tap to pay for most users?

I have a 43" 4K and at that physical size display scaling at 100% is appropriate (despite windows trying to run it at 300% out of the box) and it is legitimately useful. Its effectively four 1080p screens in a grid with no bezel between.

How is it on api availability for third party apps, and further adoption by third party apps?

That seems to be a big driver of Lemmy support, the fact there are lots of apps that support its api. That’s what killed kbin, I realize this is a post about its fork, mbin, but similarly does not have much app support.

What’s the brand we should look out for?

That maybe why they did it, but it doesn’t really refute the point either.

While I agree with you, its that very misunderstanding that bosses and owners have, and they’ll fire regular folks and replace with ai. They may suffer lower quality and even catastrophic failures but it will take time for them to realise and rehire people. All those regular folks will be out of work during that time.
