you have to trust the database maintainer that they didn’t do anything suspicious, and banks are incredibly suspect institutions.
I see the value in transparency. But, also see that significant challenge of "having a large network of computers maintaining and continually syncing a redundant data set".
Do you have any suggestions on further reading or persons of interest that are actively improving/researching better ways for syncing and maintaining the "database" or framework? Not a company or some crypto firm, but more like a research institution maybe?
it feels way less informative, more clickbaity and buzzfeed like. But, I am not sure if I am biased or not, I just feel more constructive on this site for some reason. and it feels like my mind is confused/calibrating to the concept that online forums can be constructive
To be honest, the whole social-market industry seems like just lumped together manic episodes at this point (past their initial implementation) with no direction or thought leaders. ala reddit, twitter, etc.
I don't understand the reason behind this. The consistency is all over the place behind the brand. Is this a lead-in into a larger idea? that will "connect all the dots". Or are these literally off the cuff changes? The creator payout for ads, seems like the only positive update that made sense recently, along with subscriptions, although those didn't really seem to affect the smaller accounts with <100k followers etc.
If this could be changed to add a UI element to identify self-proclaimed pundits I feel it would be better. I think just blocking people is not fair. But, being more aware of whom may help improve critical thinking.
True, it would seem though, Google tackles a more complex problem, while Reddit or the like deals with its own specific data that has a predefined format that they know of.
Looking at what other users clicked on after doing similar searches. Yeah, I feel Reddit just doesn't account for these things, because requires way more work maybe to add as weights, if I am thinking of it correctly
I remember we had to build an obj-c wrapper for FB's calls like these because of these crashes, that basically ignored the stall and continued the user's session regardless
The design isn't up to date. But, I sorta liked the idea of keeping it compact but each post and comment thread can open into separate windows if you want to keep something alive while doing something else. What do you think about this approach vs. a normal sized window/resizable window with a custom MacOS experience.
Alternative font systems is interesting. What font do you have in mind? I could add a settings option to customize fonts and/or font sizes. For the compact feel how many posts would that be per page? On maybe a iPhone 13 Max screen.
I only have it pop out for now. But I can add the normal apollo style experience. I can make it an option in settings and/or add a gesture to trigger each. Like a long press gesture for pop out but single tap for the other
Thanks for the feedback! For the comments feed were you referring to the bookmarks? Yeah I really like to save comments and browsing through them as if I were looking through a catalog of quotes on goodreads, having it look like a feed was nice. And about comments looking like posts. I see what you mean, I’ll think of a way to make them feel unique. I’ll need to try out Thunder soon too, I have another idea I haven’t seen yet, about content uploading when I get around to it, I’d wonder what you’d think about it.
That’s what I’ve been thinking. But more often than not I just don’t get any results where Google tends to find the exact posts with the same query. And I guess like others have said, they probably just depend on that. But yeah I felt a feature that is very important like this for Reddit not being fixed is interesting to me.
Will do. Apart of me feels like I should have my projects vetted by someone before I post onto channels like opensource@lemmy.ml. Do you feel that is necessary usually? Even hoping to get a couple PRs would be like a "stamp of approval" is how I was thinking as well.
maybe but seeing ~14 years ago (guess thats like 09) in that description is pretty crazy either way
