I just started using it last week. So can’t comment on the reliability yet.

Check out https://codefloe.com for private repos hosted with Forgejo. It is also free and hosted in the EU.

> when every data structure is COPIED on every function call

Swift structs use copy on write, so they aren’t actually copied on every function call.

Hmm, so where he moved his repos to is S3, which is owned by Amazon, also one of the companies in the targeted in ICE Out of My Wallet boycott.

> Antitrust pressure has slowed consolidation, opened app distribution, killed the anti-competitive iMessage and AirDrop moats

iMessage is still only available on Apple hardware. Apple’s malicious compliance has made developing apps for third party app stores a no-go. I have AltStore installed but there are no apps worth installing.

Is this only data for new rental contracts and doesn’t reflect data from older/existing contracts?

The prices match ImmoScout, but are insanely high above the Mietspiegel, and therefore not actually a legal rent.

You should learn whatever field you are interested in, doesn’t matter if others are already masters in that domain. You life shouldn’t be oriented around how you can be most appealing to capitalist companies, but instead what interests you.

Imagine telling students in school to not bother learning physics or calculus, as others have already mastered those fields.

Now it’s about how the device can be programmed to spy and manipulate you so the company can extract more value for the shareholders.

> In Germany if you’re mid to high earner, a private insurance can cost you less than half than the public healthcare system and you get much better service. Starting with appointments with specialists, who always give preference to privately insured people.

The solution here is to get rid of private insurance in Germany and only have public. It creates a two class system and private is a terrible choice once you are older, as costs will skyrocket.

Molly is the American slang, Mandy is the UK slang for MDMA.

I think the main argument that it is theft, is that they contribute nothing to the continued surplus generated after their loan was repaid. So they effectively steal the profits like a parasite.

Why should they get ownership of the business? When you get a mortgage for your house, the bank doesn’t permanently own part of your house after you pay it off.

High quality hand made clothes still exist and people do want to pay for them. Mass produced clothing made in sweats shops are what the majority of the people buy because that is where the capitalist companies drove the production.

New comment by sumuyuda in "Why haven't local-first apps become popular?"

sumuyuda — Mon, 22 Sep 2025 16:12:55 +0000

Local first isn’t limited to web apps. It’s a style of application development in which you locally store and operate on the data rather than fetching it from a cloud backend every time. For native apps that means a local database or individual files on the file system.

> phoning home, telemetry, and other privacy violations; forced upgrades; closed source, etc.

This describes proprietary software developed by capitalist companies. This has nothing to do with local first.

Mojave was the last macOS version that had any features I cared about. Now each release is about how bad did they trash the macOS UI. Switching to Linux has been great.

This is really bizarre, the decline of western quality life is caused by capitalism and wealth inequality. Coinbase is a massive Silicon Valley capitalist company.

You should check out Darling if you like Objective-C and Apple/macOS development. It is implementing a macOS translation layer on Linux. There is lots of work needed implementing Apple’s frameworks in Objective-C.

Related to the LG TV size, isn’t the size the length of the diagonal? The author seemed to think it was the width of the screen.

I never really understood company hackathons. Usually they involve people submitting their own ideas and trying to implement them in a crunch mode for some meager reward. This just comes off as the company trying to exploit people for new ideas rather than have a proper R&D department work on coming up with innovations.
