If it could sync that with my Fuji camera, that’d be great

The key part here is that (at least initially…) they won’t put any existing subreddits behind a paywall. So users’ habits won’t really be interrupted.

Just saw the other day that the Pixelfed developer pushed out a new feature pretty quickly and it reminded me of how much faster you can push new features out when you’re working on a small team with very few developers.

Then I realised that… At the place I work at (an app most likely installed on your phone) - well every change will have a huge impact. If 0.05% of the users’ performance is degraded - that’s a shit ton of users. So we have processes in place. We test on all kinds of devices before releasing.

Running a high quality service at scale is hard and it’s expensive and it’s not always fun because you have to leave your cowboy developer guns at home and do the homework before pushing to production.

I spent way too much time trying to understand why I wasn’t taken to the comments when I hit the comment icon…

Yeah, all apps advertise “no algorithms” - well those algorithms are what is pulling users back and back again and the more you get people to open your app - the more likely it is that they’ll contribute something.

I have to remind myself to open Pixelfed. Which is how I want it to be and how it should be. But I also understand that none of my friends will go there and look at nothing and then check in again a day later.

Especially a password vault… Imagine your server going down while you are away from home and suddenly you’re locked out of everything.

It’s probably implied that if not enough people take this offer - people will be fired.

I’ve been through tech layoffs. Random people are axed and people who thought about leaving anyways stay. This is a much better solution where those who considered leaving anyways can take them up on the offer.

Maybe they just want to downsize cause there isn’t as much to do nowadays when the OS is so mature?

Seems more like someone sucking up to Trump rather than something they realistically believe they could get passed

I go through a cycle for this. I leave Reddit because I hate it. And then I go here and well it’s quite obvious it’s a certain type of people who are willing to jump through hoops and use the fediverse. I find most of the opinions here to be a little bit too extreme for my taste. I just want to discuss football (soccer) and tech…

But I agree with you. It only feels empty because we all decide to not hit “post”.

Remember when Apple released the $1000 phone and it was a big thing?

Eventually this will be the normal.
