Just a nerd who migrated from kbin(dot)social.
Okay, and? We’re out of Kyoto. We’re out of Paris. We’ve made it perfectly clear as a country that we simply don’t give a damn about making the changes that the rest of the world want us to, or the changes they’re offering to make themselves. Why should the US be forced to be involved in a discussion that will go nowhere?
Then why should it allow me to save different expressions of the same meaning ever? If it’s going to let me search for it case-insensitive, just head the matter off at the pass and save it that way. Either that, or automatically create link files for every case permutation to the same folder as soon as the file exists.
I did, because they’re different ways of expressing the same meaning. They all mean (apologies for borrowing mathematical notation for linguistic applications) |file|. I don’t care what the expression of a thing is, I care about meaning. And as a result, when I save a file and then search to recall it, it should not matter what case it’s in - only for the meaning to match. The state of my shift or capslock should be totally immaterial.
Ah, one more reason for me to despise NTFS.
Good for him. I hate case-sensitivity, and it’s what keeps me going back to DOS & Windows. FILE, File, file, and FilE should all be the same thing at all times.
I like Mint. It looks like Windows, runs the software I want (including a lot of what I use on Windows). To me, the best thing an OS can ever do is stay out of my way. If it has any learning curve between me and doing the things I need and want to do, it’s a bad OS for my needs,
That barrel deserved its own credit.
Except that Worf tends to get his butt kicked by any guest star.
It should be illegal.
LLAP. Just a world war and 38 years to go.
That’s a bold statement from someone making money off a franchise that only lived because of fan creators. What’s next, saying women can’t make art?
Totally agree with you that everyone in the fediverse should be working together. Especially the amazing devs.
On Android, software can be made with free tools, released on Github/Gitlab/Forgejo/etc, and pushed into an F-Droid repo. Heck, you might not even need the F-Droid side, you can just throw an APK up at your free host of choice. Plus, I don’t think there’s a language restriction in terms of what can be compiled for Android (I’ll make my ignorance known here). Apple is not an open platform. One language is accepted, they have one way to develop software, one (overstuffed) place to download that software from. It is much more difficult to develop an app for iOS compared to Android. And if you try to monetize it, people will use a PWA.
To make it clear, this is not meant to be a debate on Apple. This is just my take on why free fediverse software is much more likely to show up on Android.
Evil Grain Ideographs?
I don’t really have a positive thing to say about people who want to stick to Apple as their primary device ecosystem.
It really is, from my limited use. I use the PWA on my (very old) phone and Firefox on desktop. But I like Interstellar.
Oh, I’m aware that both Lemmy and Mastodon have good apps. I’m just pointing out that if the ‘argument’ is that alternatives don’t have an app, MBin does have one.
Why aren’t we suggesting Mbin over Lemmy, actually? Because it seems like it has the same options. And Mbin even has an app (not just the PWA function)!
Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati.
The thing is, a large part of what got this government selected was their ongoing discussion around industrial deregulation. The basic position on that in the Republican party is that this isn’t a problem for the government to address. To them, it’s a problem for consumers and businesses to handle in the marketplace. If consumers want to do business with companies who make climate pledges and carbon pledges, then things will go that way. If, instead, the majority of people vote with their wallets and their choices that they don’t care, then this admin and the party behind them say that’s the way it should be.
That’s part of why I said that the USA has made it perfectly clear as a country that we don’t give a damn. We’ve regularly protested public nuclear power (to the point that one of the most effective nuclear plants was shut down after a small incident, and is now being bought for private use by Microsoft), along with the construction of new hydroelectric dams, solar farms, and wind turbines. We’ve even had some protests against urban cogen (energy recapture, etc). Those protests cut across the political spectrum, too. Entire states have voted for government officials on the basis of “bringing back” coal power (and thus coal mining, processing, etc.).
Most of the discussions between government delegates and officials at summits like these are around regulation and government policy restricting corporate pollution and changing energy sources away from coal and the like. If, as the host, you are already certain based on previous discussions and public statements that the answer from one nation will essentially boil down to the idea that governments should not legislate or regulate industry, and their delegates and officials will actively discourage others from doing so - to the point of putting the two nations on a more antagonistic footing than they already are over mere discussion, why invite them? It’s just going to be an upsetting waste of everyone’s time.
