Man this Story hat so many plot twists in it…

Takeaway for the Story is: If you don’t have a backup of your file and you don’t monitor the backup process and you don’t tested that your backup can actually be restored and you don’t have a redundancy backup… Than yours file isn’t saved.

The difference between AI and Coder:

The Coder fixes it’s errors. AI is just pretending everything would just run fine.

Out of context, but this video showing the amount of freshwater on the planet in perspective was eye opening for me… I see water availability different since.

Maybe that’s just my view, but I feel like you could add Blender to a lot of those Boxes.

I feel like the LLM guy should be the psycho doctor doing unethical experience with the clinic patients…

This meme is so fedi!

I must admit… I have never used it so I never really ask myself this question.

However you can view the code since it’s on GitHub: https://github.com/godotengine/godot-asset-library/tree/master

I think it’s a simple PHP REST API that stores links to a online source (like git hub) and can be requested along some information about the asset.

I mean the JPN cover is much more true to the original game ascetic and is more artistically pleasing…

But c’mon the US cover looks like a frickin 80s fantasy trash movie poster. Retrospectively that’s so iconic.

You can’t know it, but I am German 😅

Man I came to comment I had the same idea… Just to find out someone else has implemented it again…

But that’s cool. I still not fully understand what this Flohmarkt is. Is it just a social platform designed to share things you want to sell instead of pictures of your food?

I should really take a deeper look into it.

Yes the moment the “article” framed modularity and replaceability as a problem it was clear for me that this is nothing else than product placement… Those things are features I would wish my car would have.

I thought it stood for “Kool Desktop Environment”

I think there is no obvious way of telling this, because it depends on how you if statement will be constructed and in the end what machine code will be generated from your code.

So best thing would probably be implement both and measure the results. I would argue that’s how performance optimisations work. Don’t trust on what a forum post tells you.

However chances are high that both will have similar performance in a range that doesn’t matter for your use case… Without knowing your use case :)

Of course they do. They want to keep control over monetization. They don’t care about creators at all.

Thanks for being nitpicky, so I didn’t had to.

I think it’s much more impressive that stuff that was added in 2018 and 2019 has a much higher probability of being deleted today than if it was added 2017…

Wonder if that has anything to do with covid and maybe new businesses models opened 2 years before failing and therefore websites of this companies disappeared.

Also I think it would be nice to see a graph of new websites being opened other the same time span.

Yes they probably will.

But my point would be that with AP being W3C and not management by meta or a different company the ecosystem of it can survive.

And too be fair until recently I still used XMPP so it was never dead. I think it was just that almost no one ever heard about it before Google used it and also almost no one really cared about it while Google used it. So the resulting consequence was that once Google dropped off completely it went back to no one really using it (like it was before).

AP already having a decent user base (some million active users, official accounts and instances of big institutions like the EU commission e.g.) even without threads and a big eco system(very diverse platforms and projects), there is no need for any platform to adapt to anything coming from meta. Things are good (enough) how they are currently.

It’s not that we need to compete or couldn’t exist without Meta.

Yes this EEE fear exists but I think it’s unreasonable in my eyes. AP being managed by W3C is one reason for it.

Sure Meta will probably extend AP for their own use but it’s not that they can simply decide that the new feature that they introduced and is at first only working on their platform is the standard from now.

I definitely agree that Nostr is something to keep an eye on but for me that’s more about to see if there is stuff that works and can be introduced in AP as well. Because of all the arguments above I don’t think we should all switch to Nostr now.

But amount of users is actually more a product of marketing than any technical protocol so I don’t really see that point either. Also I don’t see that being true, especially if you count in all the threads users.

My point of it being a W3C standard is more that it is a protocol that is in somewhat responsible hands. When using a protocol that was developed by and only for one (commercial) application in minds other players are always one step behind.

Mastodon (or threads) as the main platforms that implement AP don’t have any more influence on the protocol than any other platform as well.
