Wait, isn’t this actually a step in the right direction? Can someone eli5?
- Comment on SMS/MMS backup and sync? 3 days ago:
It sounds like you are an outlier. Believe it or not, it’s still one of the most popular messaging systems in the world. People send 23 billion text messages every day.
My job in life are public facing, so it is absolutely essential, whether I like it or not.
- Comment on SMS/MMS backup and sync? 3 days ago:
Looks interesting, thanks.
- Comment on SMS/MMS backup and sync? 4 days ago:
I might try that. I have to use windows through my employer, which is really where the need lies. I may try to set up WSL.
- Comment on SMS/MMS backup and sync? 4 days ago:
I’ve had a couple conversations on here about FOSS RCS and it looks like it’s just not possible because of Google’s obstruction. Pretty disappointing.
- Comment on SMS/MMS backup and sync? 5 days ago:
probably because FOSS devs think SMS needs to die, and I agree
Be that as it may, people send 23 billion text messages every day. If you’re at all involved with the public, it’s absolutely unavoidable.

- Comment on Decentralization Scoring System 5 days ago:
I kinda like it.
Also I had no idea Apple had so much email. I sort of thought gmail would have the top spot.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 5 days ago:
OBS is absolutely the best software in the field.

Just literal fraud

That’s a lot of touching
- Comment on The people who first invented tools had to invent inventing tools without tools. 1 week ago:
They are only inventing tools. They are not inventing the concept of inventing tools.
Still very cool and impressive

Kinda what I was going for but I don’t think I phrased it right.

- Comment on Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ | TechCrunch 1 week ago:
I’d be in favor of a phase out of IP law. It would probably require a LOT more public investment in the arts and sciences. But public funding would lead to public ownership, so society would benefit on the whole.
No one would be getting rich off of creative works, but we would want to be sure that people will still make a living.
Or UBI would work even better.

I don’t know the answer, but you have perfectly captured the spirit of this community. Following.

Do you have the phrase “out of the frying pan and into the fire” in Europe?
- Comment on Microsoft starts testing Copilot Vision update that can “see” your screen and apps 2 weeks ago:
Mildly approaching an actually useful AI in the stupidest way possible.
I don’t need an AI shortcut in Excel that is just a chatbot. If it could actually perform complex redundant tasks, then it would be useful.
“Copilot, please create 3 charts of the most important data and create a Powerpoint with animations to present it.”
Until it can do things like that, it’s useless to me.
Honest question: what do people actually use this for?
- Comment on am i stupid or are solar panel's efficiency independent on latitude 2 weeks ago:
You can actually see this in action. At sunrise or sunset, it is possible to look directly toward the sun. That’s because more light is scattered at that angle and so it is less direct. At noon, the same sun will sear your eyes.

Thanks! I must have missed that one.
- Comment on Dansup promises Loops federation beta 'later this week' 3 weeks ago:
If it is open source and on-device (for personal recommendations) then I see it as a great thing.
Lemmy has demonstrated that it can really work. Quiblr even has personalized recommendations on-device (not open source though).
Mastodon and others should take note.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
By the same argument, owning physical things is an unnatural state. For millennia, the idea of a human being owning a physical object was completely foreign.
People made tools and used them as necessary, then discarded them for another person to use. It’s only in the most recent 5% of human existence that private property had existed.
- Comment on Massive X data leak affects over 200 million users. 3 weeks ago:
Mastodon is much better and resistant to enshittification. Bluesky is not federated or decentralized.
- Comment on Massive X data leak affects over 200 million users. 3 weeks ago:
So what is that, like 6 or 7 people?
- Comment on Thunderbird plans on expanding offerings with additional services 3 weeks ago:
Seems right on to me
The only problem with turning to a profit model is the potential for enshitification.
- Comment on A Stunning Fusion Rocket Could Cut Interplanetary Travel in Half—and We'll Try It in Just 2 Years 3 weeks ago:
I’m a little skeptical about the “10 years of absolute secrecy”… It sounds a lot like “we can’t tell you how it works, just trust us bro.”

- Comment on Microsoft's many Outlooks are confusing users and employees 4 weeks ago:
I’m pretty happy with Thunderbird on all my devices. It’s not quite perfect, but it’s hard to make an argument that Outlook is better. It’d have to be a very specific use case I think.
