Wow holy crap, great work - the world badly needs this. Im assuming the mechanism is the same, you inject a js script into your site. I’m also very interested in pure server side solutions for analytics, but they can’t hit all the features you did in a generic way afaik

Yeah you can’t do a thought police

Yeah, the situation got resolved when harm came in. You gotta commit an actual crime to be punished right? I’m familiar with the documentary and actually have friends who continue to be followers of Osho’s teachings. It’s not all bad, there was a lot of very good outcomes for some people’s health and wellness there too, the documentary frames it as a situation where the second in command basically drugged him and became an egomaniac. Shit happens. When evaluating cults, which are basically just small religions, the best criteria is about how much they help their constituents and community vs how much do they demand from them. It’s worth noting that many of the cults of America’s past were more Christian branded and became gigantic, with some mix of outcomes. But the alternative of not allowing people to express the freedoms of religion and speech would be much worse in my opinion

We don’t, that’s what freedom of religion means. If it gets overly militant or political, then there are already mechanisms that come and raid and disband them, which we have seen many times in the history of America

Hawaii already doesn’t do DST … Since 1967

Snap is fine

They are okay with you punching them?!

What the fuck this is the best idea ever

Really, that’s still the case for wine in 2025? It runs most things very well, including 3D

There is SO MUCH shame in that, the pitiful noob wont even learn to RTFM, and then I’ll have no way to feel superior to them as I dip my beard into my off brand morning cereal #frostedfakes

Just print out the arch wiki in a series of binders, give her access to a tech recycling center, and a screwdriver set. That’ll learn’er

I did read the post, and if you think syntax and implementation weren’t a huge part of coding, then I’m not sure you’re a programmer either. Design is quick, writing it all out & integrating libs & figuring out bugs is slow

There’s a lot of people who say that using AI makes you dumber, and that’s reasonably true in one sense, but ultimately it’s reducing the kinds of work you need to do. This is a trend in humanity – photos replaced photorealistic painters - farm automation replaced manual labor. At every step, knowledge was in fact lost to society. But is that a problem really, that we lose obsoleted modes of work, in favor of automated systems that solve it forever? New skills emerge, people who know how to design factories, photography artists

I think people are afraid of AI removing jobs from the workforce, but what it’s really doing is making the workforce more efficient. The total amount of product can go up, that’s fine. Jobs like coding now look more like architectural design jobs rather than typing jobs. Creative work and original ideas will shine. New jobs will be created. Nothing new is going on

Mmmm to clarify, Blender Foundation doesn’t own or run Godot afaik, they are just trying to tightly integrate the pipelines together and make it easy. These games are the way to refine and showcase the process, like Blender’s open movies

I just read up on what mauikit is, and it just seems like a pretty bad idea compared to Flutter. Flutter is shitty too, but it’s shitty for the right reasons – operating systems have pretty different UI systems and supporting many of them is hard. But it runs everywhere instead of just Linux and Android

Power of what sort?

ostensibly

You may find it funny to learn that Signal’s early development was funded by an arm of the govt that focuses on distributing ideology worldwide – US Agency For Global Media (Radio Free Asia and Open Technology Fund)

You may also find it interesting that Trump eliminated this entire agency about two months ago

Why did the USA run all these programs and fund privacy software? Ostensibly to help people in oppressive regimes communicate. To broadcast alternative media

Idk he makes some pretty wild claims along the way

• AI is only going to become more expensive for corps with time. This has ~never been true in computing, where specialized hardware and optimizations trend costs down
• That marketing managers are dumbass easy marks who are wasting their company money. Every half way decent marketing department measures outcomes and knows exactly how much money is generated by their activities

Well…

If you follow the link to fedidb, refer to the “mau” monthly active users. Do some brief math and realize that lemmy.world accounts for about 50% of all active users

Email market share is harder, but many estimate that Gmail accounts for over 40%. Many many orgs use Google apps to make custom branded gmails with their own domains too

This is the typical “business power law” that states that the top player should control about 50%, the second player about 25%, etc. This is just kinda how the world works
