  • The same advantages as all free and open source solution, it’s free and open source. That means how much it’s going to cost to your business is directly under your control. You can make a decision on how you acquire hardware based on your business’s needs. If you want to add or change features you can decide how to do that based on the deals you have with your programmers (like pick the developer you have with the best skills and the lowest cost), and then you get to control how much it costs you and how reliable the result is going to be.

    If you feel like the support you get from customer service from Amazon or Google or Microsoft is reliable enough and you don’t need more reliability then go ahead and stick with paid products. But if you already have a team of really expensive and talented engineers you might as well let them solve problems with free and open source equipment.




  • There is a metadata protocol called opengraph, it’s how apps get the information to display a rich preview. Basically the app takes the link as it’s written in the SMS message or Twitter thread and then it tries to fetch that page and then read the open graph metadata from inside. That should give it enough to show a title description and a background image, considering the web developers implemented opengraph.

    If Google is planning to use their own servers basically as a proxy then all this means is that the opengraph rich metadata is going to be a little more stale than if the app just fetch the page and generated the rich metadata itself





  • See I knew I didn’t have to fucking read it

    (⁠╯⁠ರ⁠ ⁠~⁠ ⁠ರ⁠)⁠╯⁠︵⁠ ⁠┻⁠━⁠┻

    Why would that even be included in the summary to begin with? It doesn’t make people feel good or bad to read it?

    It’s just repulsive unmarketable information.

    Why the fuck should I read the rest of the article? I know I’ll get no objective or subjective value from it, if I want the bottom of the bone dry fucking barrel I would have to read the court transcripts.

    I DON’T HAVE TIME TO ASK CHATGPT TO FIND THAT FOR ME!! I have to socialize with my friends and touch grass and be healthy!

    Honestly OP at this point you shouldn’t’ve posted this thread. Lemmy isn’t going to fail because of lack of engagement and low user count, it’s going to fail because there are no more worthwhile links to post.



  • One thing I always stay weary of is all the details that were removed from the court records to fit it into a news report. Like you can’t include everything and what I find out whenever I look deeper then it’s not as horrible as what I thought it was… then next time I see an article like this I don’t read it bc I already know that this article is going to be just as bad as the last ones.

    It’s kinda like ‘wolf’ has been cried to me basically all my life… like what kind of emergency/bad-thing do I actually need to respond too.






  • I started using git to track my dotfiles maybe one-ish years after I first fully adopted Linux as my daily driver… I think it’s been a little over 5 years and before I converted to nix that git history told a story of immense frustration of never being able to get my desktop and laptop to be identical. For some reason some projects only ran on one of the 2 machines. There was a period in my life when I didn’t use my desktop for 2 months because it just didn’t work well enough, OCD is really fucking painful. Nix saved my relationship with both of my computers, and my desk, and my spine. I haven’t used my laptop and maybe a month and I may have changed my workstation a couple hundred times in this period, I will with absolute confidence say that the next time I decide to use my laptop I can just run git pull and nixos rebuild and my laptop will be just the same as my desktop (minus obligatory build fixes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
