Thought the same
fyvhbhn··on Five billion phones to be thrown away in 2022?
I don't think we should restrict us to what's economical since the economy doesn't really care about sustainability

Besides the obvious ignorance: I don't think she is saying what billions are thinking.

If it were true we wouldn't be as badly progressing with climate action as we are.

For instance, we would have already billions of vegan people.

Wind power is stronger in the winter
fyvhbhn··on Sweden’s incoming cabinet says new nuclear reactors will be built
In Europe there is never no wind, and wind generates more power in the winter contrary to nuclear plants.

You also don't need to build unlimited hydro plants.

fyvhbhn··on Sweden’s incoming cabinet says new nuclear reactors will be built
Roding rain forests is profitable, but not necessary.

Logical fallacy

You should Google flamebait, which is also distinct from flamewar
fyvhbhn··on 87% of American teens own an iPhone; 88% expect an iPhone to be their next phone
It isn't.

Two options: - everyone installs an app that can deal with multiple vendors (like 90% of the messengers) - everyone that is not having a phone of vendor x gets a new phone from vendor x and throws away the old one (or keeps both lol)

The former is almost for free and the latter costs hundreds of dollars .

It's so much worse that you cannot even make out this difference

fyvhbhn··on 87% of American teens own an iPhone; 88% expect an iPhone to be their next phone
No,

Dystopia = everyone must buy an iphone as solution to the problem instead of just using an app that's not restricted to iphones

No sarcasm
fyvhbhn··on 87% of American teens own an iPhone; 88% expect an iPhone to be their next phone
Flamewar where?
fyvhbhn··on 87% of American teens own an iPhone; 88% expect an iPhone to be their next phone
Seriously, do you not know any other app than "Messaging" and "iMessage"?
fyvhbhn··on 87% of American teens own an iPhone; 88% expect an iPhone to be their next phone
Actually, it just means that the app you are using sucks

The US is straight out of a dystopia from an European perspective.

Visit matrix.org for a better standard

How do you know that? Because apple says so?

Key exchange happens through apple. App is proprietary and as far as I know the apple devices upload to the apple cloud in a way that makes apple able to read the messages by default.

Force them to implement Matrix
fyvhbhn··on Removing SMS support from Signal Android (soon)
One more reason: signal still allows for easier discovery of other users, because it forces phone number sharing
fyvhbhn··on Removing SMS support from Signal Android (soon)
... phone number use, lack of interoperability, keeping server source closed when it fits
fyvhbhn··on Removing SMS support from Signal Android (soon)
> Why do I need 3 apps (Android Messages, Signal, Whatsapp) to talk to people?

Because Whatsapp and Signal are walled gardens. (Everyone knows why IM>sms)

fyvhbhn··on Removing SMS support from Signal Android (soon)
You couldn't have one messenger for all contacts before, except you forced everyone to either signal or sms
fyvhbhn··on Removing SMS support from Signal Android (soon)
I doubt your phone doesn't have a default sms app.

Anyways e2ee and sms doesn't mix well

fyvhbhn··on Show HN: Async UI: A Rust UI Library Where Everything is a Future
It don't see how this works out. React uses a virtual Dom.

Sycamore:

> Write code that feels natural. Everything is built on reactive primitives without a cumbersome virtual DOM.

Yew works more similar to React

fyvhbhn··on Show HN: Async UI: A Rust UI Library Where Everything is a Future
Could you compare it with Sycamore with a few bullet points?

I feel like it is pretty close even though you don't see the async exposed? L

fyvhbhn··on Companies are paying huge sums to show their ads to bots
If they have an utility, people will pay for it (they don't even have to pay as much as they pay indirectly via advertising). If not, not gonna miss it
fyvhbhn··on Companies are paying huge sums to show their ads to bots
The software would be cheaper if financed without ads
fyvhbhn··on Why modern software is slow
Optimizing Websites is easy: turn on an ad locker. I was surprised how my fans of my pc went up once I turned off uBlock Origin once
fyvhbhn··on Nord Stream: Tie-ins and hyperbaric welding
Russia always wanted to use NS2, now it's the only option.

Damaging one pipe of NS2 makes it seem less obvious.
