Vice had a tech podcast called ‘Cyber’ and they dropped a final episode yesterday. It’s just a bunch of the staff bewildered and mourning the fall of Vice. Pretty interesting.

More amusing was that they did it ‘rogue’. Much of their CDN was inoperable, except for the podcast deliver infrastructure.

Isn’t that what most small business owners go through? My brother and his wife own a business and they hustle waaaay more than I need to as an employee of a large business with all the HR, retirement etc baked in. I don’t think they went net positive for like 4-5 years.

I got no problem with this. In the near term, I see no way to pay for journalism otherwise. Email addresses seem like a really short term solution to the AI problem, though.

My IrL table top group will meet online to game every now and then. Half of us really dig DRG, the other half do not. You are certainly not alone.

I only ever play it in a group, and even then after 4 missions I’m a bit over it. It’s just such a lonely slog solo…

That said, I really like the dumb cosmetics, goofy built in antics, and group play.

Congrats, dude. The advice is solid, and you really do sound as though you fell into something good.

I was just saying to myself: “shit, I’m Calvin’s dad.”

This comment is way underrated. Thanks for this.

I use Brave on my work machine. Tried Firefox, but it just collided with too many internal web tools I need to use. I also heavily use tab grouping, and last I checked, it was a no-go on FF.

People are desperately looking for a hero browser. In the end, you just may wanna roll with the browser that ticks the most boxes…

Interesting. I’ve never personally had too many issues with startup. I actually thought Golang already had something like this built-in with ‘go mod init’. Looks like i was wrong…

Having boilerplate does help.

Cobra CLI is pretty great if you will only be using your binary on the cli.

FWIW: I see no reason to federate with Threads/Meta/FB. We can always change our minds later.

My hope will be that users of Threads will end up learning about federation/activity pub in general, then become curious about other instances. I’m the early nineties, many people thought AOL was the internet. It was the intro to the internet, for many, many people who moved on to finding all other kinds of wonderful stuff out there. No reason it couldn’t happen that way.

“Our technology is soooo jaw droppingly powerful, we must warn the public!” It just seems a little self serving. ‘Critihype’ (Motherboard?) was a term I heard recently that sums this up nicely.

I’m really diggin’ it. I was just looking through the list of subs that Lemmy has on their site and found programming.dev. Asked to join, and zero reason to go elsewhere. I can subscribe to damn near anything easily, and my instance has a pretty chill main section(not sure what you call it). Programming focused, but plenty of cat picks, wild bird pictures, random memes…

I think I’m sticking around for a while.
