I’m really good at searching Google. I’m a “prompt engineer” too

Did it work? How do you know that? A consumer of your package sends a int when your package expects a string.

What now?

This is the stupidest use of this stupid meme with this stupid piece of shit that I’ve ever seen

Not defending LMG’s mistakes, but GN’s opinion that you should not ask for comment doesn’t hold water.

GN definitely has an agenda here. He made several comments that made it quite clear he’s resentful of LTT’s success.

While I don’t think anything he reported is false, it’s all wrapped in a narrative that relies on implications. He certainly makes a whole lot of hay about a few small mistakes and heavily implies LTT is in the pockets of their sponsors and a conspiracy theory that LTT is only successful because of some connections and preferred treatment by YouTube.

He’s very much trying to establish a narrative that LMG is wildly corrupt and undeserving of their success. However, a lot of it comes across as sour grapes.

Like 85% of the most recent YC class are “revolutionize x with AI” crap.

Just because people use “for the children” in inappropriate scenarios to further an agenda has nothing to do with this discussion and you know it.

If you make a tool to essentially hide people’s activity online, you KNOW what it’s going to ultimately be used for.

…and you clearly think it’s worth the trade off. So no need to continue

Locks don’t make predators untraceable

Ok,.cool? 70% of those don’t apply to this conversation at all.

Look, it’s clear you’re willing to twist yourself into a pretzel and play whataboutism because you refuse to acknowledge the uncomfortable truth. That’s fine, I get it.

Nearly every aspect of our society relies on the exploitation and suffering of others.

This is empty virtue signalling and false equivalency. Just say it. You think there’s a unknowable volume of real life, actually happening, enablement of the pain, suffering, and death of men, women, and children you’re willing to accept so Google or the government or whatever can’t read your irrelevant and unimportant conversations

There’s literally no way you can back up any of these claims. It’s just what you want to be true.

All I want is for you to admit that you think protecting the “privacy” of people’s mundane text conversations is worth enabling Terrorism, Child Sexual Abuse, Human Trafficking, Organized Crime, etc etc etc

To be clear, I think people should have a basic expectation of privacy. But at what cost? Like we’ve established it’s impossible to have one without the other.

Making it more accessible helps the innocent more than it does the guilty.

Source?

If that’s what you have to tell yourself, fine. But at least be intellectually honest here and admit you’re simply willing to condone child abuse because you think Google or whatever looking at your texts is more egregious

You really can’t have it both ways. It’s morally bankrupt to launch protocols that clearly will be used for abhorrent purposes and simply hand wave it away because you’re uncomfortable with the reality of the situation.

I think we all wish that weren’t the case, but it is.

Saying crap like it wouldn’t be a problem if law enforcement would just “git gud” makes you complicit

Which is fair. If it’s something you use all the time, obviously an app is usually going to be the way to go.

But the reason they want you to install the app is so they can send push notifications and track you more effectively

A classic

I feel like we’re splitting hairs here. MIT is an extremely permissible license. The fact someone could take this and make a closed source fork doesn’t affect the existence or openness of the MIT licensed releases

Even their web and mobile clients are FOSS

The FUD and misinformation on here about Bluesky an AT is wild

LGTM!

Bluesky is still in beta. It’s intentionally not open to the general public because federation hasn’t yet been opened up and they only have one instance running.

The nice thing about Bluesky’s architecture (over ActivityPub) is the fact your content and identity is portable. So you can move over to a different instance as they start to come online.

I think the important takeaway from articles like this is the fundamental misunderstanding of decentralized social protocols. It shouldn’t be on one central authority how things are moderated globally. These kinds of articles kind of prove the point.

I was a big fan of Vue 2. Vue 3 is a completely different library if you choose to adopt the composition API (which is where everything is headed). If everyone is going to have to learn a totally new composition pattern, might as well look at what else is out there.

Kinda similar to the big overhaul between Angular 1 and 2

Vue 3’s Composition API and composables are more similar to React functional components and hooks than it is to Vue 2 and its Options API. That’s not to say that React Hooks and Vue Composables are apples-to-apples. They still have different approaches to reactivity and so on, but the programming model is more familiar between the two.

Coming to Vue 3 from 2 was a bit of whiplash. However I’ve been working with it for a few days now and have come to appreciate how much more flexible and powerful it is to have access to Vue’s reactive primitives anywhere - you don’t have to write all your business logic in the scope of a Vue instance.

That said, it comes with a much higher learning curve. Vue 2 gave you guardrails, an easily understood component class structure, etc. That’s what I liked about it as it scaled well to large teams. Whereas React scaled to a large team quickly turns into a complete mess. Ask 10 different React engineers and you’ll get 10 surprisingly different approaches to how to implement components and architect applications.
