Discord supports threaded topic based formats as well.

The reality is that for a lot of interactions, a live chat feels better than a forum post. You can very easily do both on discord, though.

It’s not perfect, but the alternatives that aren’t a whole project by themselves building a tool don’t have feature parity, or the user base.

“Monitors” are smaller.

And the minimum cost of entry to anything reasonably sized is double to triple. Changing some settings is well worth it.

Absolutely.

They’re exactly the same as the audio being out of sync. It literally makes me want to puke.

If you’re actually hearing impaired I’ll probably tolerate it for you. Though realistically we just won’t watch anything together.

Otherwise I hate you for asking. Nothing makes a show/movie unwatchable more than having the text of what a character is going to say shoved in my face before they say it. I’d rather get kicked in the balls repeatedly than watch shit with subtitles. It’s less severe torture.

If the source isn’t available at all, yeah. Which is why I brought up the FTC to begin with (since Google is in the US).

But I doubt they’d act if the license isn’t permissive enough.

The FTC takes action against false advertising.

“Open Source” doesn’t have a singular legally relevant definition no matter what organizations claim otherwise, though.

Maintaining another account is maintaining another account.

It absolutely is meaningful friction, and it absolutely is a perfectly valid reason not to engage.

On kindle, if you tap the middle of the screen, then click the little Aa up top, you get formatting options. On reflowable formats, you can go to the more tab and uncheck the animation button. On ones that are fixed pages, it should be one of the only options.

Same, have a boox, getting a second boox, and really wish I had a better option to track location across devices. KOReader is a nice reader experience, but browsing books sucks. I use a blend of moon reader and the built in app depending on my mood, but neither feels as good as maple reader on my iPad, and nothing I’ve found can really sync my location.

I keep not getting to it, so can’t vouch for it, but Kavita looks like it’s worth trying.

They’re the exact same thing. There is no distinction that can theoretically be made.

The reason projects are choosing GitHub over alternatives is because they know, with certainty, that they will get far less interaction with their project anywhere else.

User count absolutely matters for code hosting platforms, and it absolutely is a social network. Network effect is critical and the entire premise of this article.

But 99% of people won’t. Choosing that platform massively shrinks your community.

I’m not saying don’t do it and try to grow that ecosystem if you want to. I’m all for federated becoming the standard going forward. But don’t judge people not wanting to massively compromise their project with a platform that actually is massively worse because it doesn’t have people there.

But, to be clear, I am not asking you to use inferior platforms for philosophical or altruistic reasons.

Except you just called people selfish for it a paragraph up. A platform that depends on human interaction without humans to interact with is an inferior platform regardless of technical merit.

Going where people are isn’t selfish. It’s rational.

Probably because they use MacOS.

It’s just a computer (or program, depending on context). It can do whatever you want it to.

If I want to write/modify a mail server that watches video feeds from 6 different beaches and only bothers accepting mail when beaches 2, 3 and 5 are empty and beaches 1, 4, and 6 have 500 people, nothing is stopping me. It’s stupid and a waste of time, but it’s a computer. It can run arbitrary code.

That’s ignoring that if you read what he wants, it would be a client to the actual recipient mail server and only needs to actually serve the web interface so that he can access his email from various browsers.

They’re just protocols. There’s nothing preventing a program from interacting with both. Webmail isn’t some mystical art no one’s ever thought of before.

You understand that computers can use more than one port?

There’s nothing abnormal about what he’s requesting.

This doesn’t make sense.

A website is basically just the responses a server sends to a browser. That server has any functionality you want it to.

Why not post something with the tiniest bit of credibility, then?

A bunch of completely unreliable nonsense posts from completely unreliable nonsense people does not add up to evidence of any kind.
