My boss legit says that he will give me some time to work on it every 2-3 months and then drops a “customer requires X feature and I promised that we will deliver in one week”. And mind you we have to patch up to 3 major versions in the past to back port the new feature because client haven’t upgraded and won’t in near future… which means sometimes our major releases are 60-70% same as our minor patches for old versions. Semvering much?

Worth to note that their audio quality and anc is worse than competition noticeably. So its quality vs environment

Yes its one time for android, if you’re earning money with ads or purchases, google will take 1/3 of that amount, then you will have to figure out taxes on your own and there’s also some special policies for selling online goods in India, but if you’re just making apps - its one time fee to be able to upload them to google play store, or you can just distribute with froid/github for free, which is a great route as well

From the perspective of FOSS developer:

I simply don’t want to pay €100 every single year to Tim Apple to make a free hobby app.

Android has more ways to distribute, and the “official” way is one time €25 fee and that’s it.

If I wanted to use the touchscreen, I’d rather get a tablet or use my phone. I would like to see the capability to open actual apps, not just chrome. In this case, even ipad is more capable than chromebooks because it can actually run lots of stuff, even video editing software.

are you really trying to say that chromebook can do more than m1 macbook lol

please show me an example of working in blender with chromebook

I guess (in their mind) their laptops are “premium” product and making a cheap one will lead to brand damage.

Plus, I remember how bad was previous 12 inch macbook, people will probably be very catious about it (if they ever make one)

What? Apple is still releasing good laptops, m1 makbook air was unmatched for its price for like 2+ years and is still a machine that can last 6-10 hours under workload

No, I’m just genuinely interested, that’s it. No negativity.

How many times did internet petitions actually changed something

or else they will block it in norway

More than that, I never saw political or controversial “influencer” content on YouTube at all. It’s mostly tech reviews, memes, travel and photography videos, just exactly what I watch.

Algorithms are so good these days it’s kinda funny to see someone being angry about being offered to watch the same stuff they usually watch

Tech related stuff and old memes*

Not like you can’t access their community anymore

Telegram with my gf and family, discord with friends. Fb messenger is awful to say the least

Some of the specific communities are there but not here or barely alive here (like my phone’s brand) so I’m visiting them from PC. Spez gets no moni because I’m always using unblock there though

Simple explanation: imagine an instance as an apartment house, where communities are apartments (where people can gather). You also have neighbor buildings (instances) with their own apartments. You can go and visit them freely if you want. In that case, federation will be like a city I guess

I’m working on open source session replay tool (skipping the name not to promote it explicitly, but its quite easy to guess since our niche has not too many fully OS companies) as R&D/js library maintainer; at the same time I’m making my own lemmy app :)

Very fun and quite the opposite experience (going in deep with browser specs and API vs thinking about mobile UI and features)

I think because it’s a rather new platform for many people, they behave differently. Some are getting used to Lemmy and are not posting as much, while some are more enthusiastic.

Overall I’d say it will be pretty much the same in the long run
