Yes, they are certainly guilty of sticking their collective heads in the sand. Most but not all of them.

it really depends on the context in which he was booing. Reading the article, in this context he did nothing wrong. If you can cheer, you can boo. He was not causing a disturbance.

Both sides argument does not apply this round. This is different.

Same. I’m at the point where if I never sat behind a computer again, I think I would be ok with that. Also, video games and their crappy consoles suck now too.

Yes, I’ve been getting very bad vibes from that place for a while now. It seems very filtered and the content is no longer reflective of what people upvote. It’s tracking more to corporate interests and propaganda. Also, I think a lot of people have unintentionally divulged their most private information and don’t even know it. Their innermost thought expressed in comments, likes dislikes cataloged in votes, all under the false sense of an anonymity. It would be very easy, especially now with AI, to link IPs, browser thumbprints, and writing style analysis back to individual people, at a mass scale. I think a reckoning is coming.

So dumb. Just so. dumb.

That moderator should be un-moderated.

It would be almost impossible to pin it on anyone.

I still haven’t seen Oppenheimer, it just sounds like a long boring movie. I’m 70% through the PHM book and I can’t wait to see it.

Well they are building data centers like they want to have enough resources to do just that.

There is also survivorship bias. Who knows how many attacks have been prevented that we do not know about.

Right. It doesn’t need parity with developers, it just needs to be cheap enough to justify the replacement. Also, there are an army of developers right now trying to make it happen, building guardrails and frameworks and even new languages to enable it. If you are an “ok” developer and you don’t have a plan B, you’re going to be hurting an a few years.

Ok good point.

Does it matter? It happened, and has been widely confirmed.

Still better than reddit.

Yeah so I don’t see what the issue is. If they gave me stock android from 8 years ago I would still be happy to use it, and most basic users probably wouldn’t even know the difference. There are very few features released in the past few years that I couldn’t live without. Probably the only notable one I can think of is notification history. Other than that it has been all downhill, like removing the ability to easily record calls, which iphone can do no problem. As it is now I have to use a differnt phoen a a bunch of hacks to get it to work. It’s my device, let me assume the risk. Nanny bullshit.

I’ve never developed on Android, but would it be hard to port most apps to AOSP at this point if the developer wanted to?

Thanks for the explanation. Sorry, I’m new to this platform and I did not even realize you replied until now. Thank you for clearing this up for me.

It’s the hardware, and it feels like mobile in particular is intentionally designed to not be modular. I suspect that is by design to keep it under control of the big companies.
