Meta confirms it is blocking EU-based users from accessing Threads via VPN
Reply in thread
It’s been out for less than ten days and it already has more than 35x the number of total users as Mastodon. It might not be for us, but saying that no one would want to use it is just sour grapes.

Now that we are all switching to Lemmy, now is the time for all the redditors with embarrassing usernames to make their username right! Don't screw up this time!
Showerthought: This post is just an opportunity for users with inappropriate usernames to show them off.

Linus Torvalds: Linux succeeded thanks to selfishness and trust
Linus has the most unique programming career ever. It’s good for us that he became the impartial foul-mouthed emperor of fat penguins. If he were still great at programming but not so good at leading, i wonder what would have happened to Linux.

I read somewhere on Lemmy that ich_iel deliberately uses wrong words four the lulz. So be careful or you’ll be learning bad grammar. Youse diggitty?

Christian references beans 2 days ago... he's gotta be on Lemmy right? Am I looking too much into this?

I mean, he had a great thing with Apollo but I don’t think he’d want to keep doing it, especially for a much smaller platform like ours. We also have lots of great homegrown apps inspired by Apollo. I think it’s time for the torch to pass to the next generation of developers. Christian will probably do other great things.

Linux has less than half of Linux’s desktop share
Interesting read. I was genuinely surprised to read that ChromeOS has 4%+ desktop market share. It’s not popular at all where I am from. I’ve never ever seen one in person.

[Help] Why do app updates have download sizes almost as large as the apps themselves?
The Google Play Store uses a technique called delta patching to calculate the diff server side and avoid transferring parts of the app that haven’t changed since your original installation.
This is understandably not perfect because they want to avoid load on their servers and also the extra processing on your device to “unpack” it. So what you have is a happy medium between sending the entire app again and sending strictly the diff.

Why is React, a client side rendering framework, a popular choice for server side rendering?

That’s exactly how we got Javascript on the backend in the first place. I remember when this was the new “weird” thing.

Reddit is still a mess

It doesn’t help if the journalists don’t mention the Fediverse as an alternative. People will move to Discord, Facebook, Threads, or Instagram because they aren’t aware. 3 out of those 4 are owned by Meta.

React and Vue already have lots of libraries, components, and know-how. You can also move from CSR to SSR and back depending on your requirements.
