Worst case is that grocery, and restaurant purchases become publicly accessible if it leaks. I use adblockers, so all the targeting is wasted. Privacy concerns are oversold, and exploited by VPN companies and DeleteMe

Seems like a fork of mumble with better UI would work for you.

Thanks for explaining. I use group chats for IRL friends. It's strange that some prefer mastodon because of the twitter format. I suppose it's like private Facebook groups.

I like the sharp distinction between private stuff and searchable stuff. So it's good to have them as IM vs forum formats.

I just pictured Altman when I read "fight managers".

That's too many beaks for you to break. You'll have to wait 20 years for robotics to improve.

How do you test without servers and VMs?

Perhaps Apple's walled garden is the reason why so many shitty mobile web apps exist. In a civilized world, Apple and Google would agree on a UI standard.

I don't think it's the reason why the app economy largely failed (sure, mobile games are a big exception). I hope the vibe shifts back to software being a tool to enhance productivity rather than a rube Goldberg machine for entertainment and ads.

I see people buying $300 AR glasses as a portable monitor to watch porn comfortably while in bed.

Ironically, Zuck is all about FAIR now. Shouldn't it be MAIR now? :)

I've met Android devs with iPhones, so the answer is probably yes. I don't know if Xcode is worse than Android Studio or Flutter. I honestly just hate mobile development in general because it can't be done on the same device as the code runs. It feels like driving while wearing boxing gloves.

It took Apple 15 years to break free from Intel, and that pushed Qualcomm to make laptop CPUs. In many aspects, it's more impressive than the iPhone.

So you'll be breaking Altman's beak with a baseball bat?

Perhaps activitypub services can be viable as a service. I don't think so, but I hope I'm wrong.

It's similar to when factories got mechanized, and people were promised 2 day work weeks. In reality, the number of high paying jobs shrunk, and wages compressed. That's just the march of progress:)
