Sounds like a CEO who doesn’t have a damn clue how code works. His description sounds like he thinks every line of code takes the same amount of time to execute, as if
x = 1;takes as long as encryption/decryption.“Adding” code to bypass your encryption is obviously going to make things run way faster.
- Comment on Seeking feedback: how should lemm.ee move forward with external images? (related to frequent broken images) 5 months ago:
Shame that option #2 has these downsides. Personally, I’d probably prefer #2, and to live with some broken images.
That said, lemm.ee is one of, if not the largest Lemmy instance, and has a certain responsibility to prioritize usability as a sort of “sane default” choice for many people looking into the fediverse. As such… yeah, I give it to option #3 here. If I (or others) was truly deeply moved by the privacy concern, there are an abundance of alternative options for that higher privacy standard, including full self-hosting.
- Comment on Nintendo, famed for hating emulation, likely using Windows PCs to emulate SNES games at its museum 5 months ago:
100%. I literally bought Echoes of Wisdom on Switch day one, dumped it, and played it in Ryujinx, installing mods to increase settings.
I have the money, and am willing to part with it, but prefer a PC Quality experience. Heck, I’d even pay more for a PC version that didn’t have shader stutter and had real PC options.
That said… I don’t expect it. Nintendo is very stuck in their ways, which has pros and cons. On the one hand, we’re getting good traditional game design, no layoffs, and no micro transactions, which is wonderful. On the other, we’re getting outdated hardware that’s just powerful enough to support their game design ideas (although we’re even seeing the cracks there now), and a diehard dedication to the old console exclusivity model.
