I don't agree with it. There are many capital cities that are in terrible locations for highspeed rail and are would be a diservice to the rest of the country.

Cities like Amsterdam, Berlin, and Viena are just the worst places to reach for most of their respective countries. Say you live in Munich and you want to travel to Amsterdam, you are still stuck on the slow train if you focus on a Berlin-Amsterdam route.

If high speed rail is supposed to be successful it should be about covering geographical distance fast. Or the car and planes are still going to be the prefered option.

Is de Reddit Blackout de reden dat je hier bent gaan lurken/commenten?

Ja, maar niet zoals je zou denken. Ik was bekend met mastodon, maar vind het waardeloos in de praktijk. Met de blackout dacht in van de reddit enorm makkelijk te vervangen door een decentralized reddit, was nieuwsgierig, en vond lemmy met wat google termen (weet niet meer wat)

Wat vind je tot dusver van de Lemmy ervaring? Wat mist er?

Het is oke, maar niet helemaal zoals ik mij voorgesteld had. Lemmy heeft wat zwakke punten als het gaat om decentralisatie. Of er is enorm veel kans op fragmentatie, waar je 100 verschillende communities hebt die allemaal het zelfde zijn (met de zelfde leden en content, dus je krijgt alles 100x dubbel te zien, die je met 10 verschillende accounts moet volgen omdat sommige instances niet willen samenwerken)

Of alles wordt gecentraliceerd naar een paar instances. En de eigenaar van de instance kan je zonder reden jouw en jouw communities bannen, dus je moet maar kunnen vertrouwen op z'n blauwe ogen dat die een beetje om kan gaan met meningsverschillen.

Denk je dat Lemmy of een andere fediverse site leidt tot de terugkeer van kleinere forums en communities op internet?

Mogelijk. In mijn ideale wereld heb in een centrale client waar je updates van alle soort forums kan volgen die jij interessant vindt, zonder dat je op 100 verschillende forums moet inloggen. En ik denk dat dit een stap in de goede richting is.

I do have quite a laundry list of remarks for Lemmy too. The bugginess and lack of features is understandable. But it is quite centralized and I see a future where it will be more centralized the more users will join due to a bit of a fundemental flaw of federation.

Maybe these problems will be fixable. I hope so, because I think it is a really cool concept. But I am not sure if I agree with the execution of it. I would love to contribute to this project if these problems are fixable.

I agree with both yeah. Personally I would have made different choices than the CEO has.

Have a more realistic planning for developers to adapt. Offer different types of api pricing models.

It all could have been handled more strategically, which makes him a poor CEO in my opinion

Kind of thinking the same thing, I want to learn rust, but have not gotten an excuse to start using it. Maybe dedicating 8-16 hours per 2 weeks could help me learn rust and do something more complex than writing hello world. I have some additional time in a month or so, so might as well try

I was thinking about learning rust and contribute to open source projects, so it might be a good option. I do have a laundry list of notes about the platform itself though

I don't make the rules 🤷 Maybe easier to prove? The media just doesn't like getting sued.

The article does say:

The man was reported to have sexually assaulted one of the women

They can't say it is sexual assault, until the person has been conficted. So they put it in quotes to indicate that is has been alleged by someone else

This is something I explained to a client of mine. I do see AI as part of the Future in software development, but it won't replace programming as it is just the most precise way to tell a computer how you want things to work.

I think / hope AI will help get rid of a lot of boilerplate code. Where you'll have AI driven programming languages that only require you to write business logic and define architectural requirements and AI can handle all the details of how it connects, where to fetch and send the data and to do it efficiently

Same, still has a lot of missing features though. The one thing that would be a major improvement is to be able to open links between communities and threads. It always interprets everything as an email address for some reason. !Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world

I setup my own email server, it was an absolute pain to setup, especially since I had no idea about all the little details of sending and receiving email. It was kind of fun to see everything come together

In the beginning I had a ton of email go into spam boxes, especially with gmail. Later I found out that if you don't add the proper email headers like to: "Name Of Recipient" <email@example.com> it goes straight to the spam folder. (So you always need to provide a name)

I am afraid to touch anything now though, as it is currently very really stable (on a vpn btw)

I was looking for a reddit alternative that was similar to how mastodon works and found lemmy. I don't like mastodon very much, but I thought the mastodon concept works much better when you have smaller communities decentralized over multiple instances. Kind of like all those bb-forums back in the day, but through a single interface/client.

So naturally, I do like Lemmy but it still kind of has the same problems I have with Mastodon. I want to go into detail in a full post at a later time, but in general it comes down to the user experience not being great. I have quite a lot of ideas for improvements
