arcatech··on Mastodon still can’t replace Twitter
Having a low active user count doesn’t mean there’s no one to interact with. I use it sometimes, I see lots of interaction. It’s not a success as a business (which it’s not necessarily trying to be) but that doesn’t mean it’s not a thing (a protocol) that many people are regularly using.
arcatech··on Mastodon still can’t replace Twitter
Follow people (including people from other instances) and then interact with them on your timeline just like you would with Twitter.

arcatech··on Bluesky – Authenticated Data EXperiment
What’s the difference between this and SOLID?
arcatech··on Privacy preserving attribution for advertising
If they added an optional "support Firefox by paying $100 per year" button, some people would do it because they want to support the browser.
arcatech··on Privacy-focused search engine DuckDuckGo grew by 46% in 2021
You may have missed the years and years of improvement made since it was launched.

What you're proposing is really not an effective way to handle an outbreak of an airborne respiratory virus.
arcatech··on Lemmy – A link aggregator for the fediverse
> Why would I want to join an online discussion forum where free thought isn't welcome?

Every community has ideas about what's right and wrong, and there will always be people who disagree. Moderation will always be required because that's just the nature of communities.

> Politics aside - I wonder if it would be possible to create an instance focused on free speech, without automatically attracting all the worst people?

To the point I just made: no, it's not possible refrain from moderating a community and then avoid having people there who engage in behavior you don't like. If your definition of "free speech" includes a complete lack of moderation, then you'll always run into this problem.

The thing that's weird is trying to group a bunch of people with differing sub-views on things into one "leftist" group and then trying to judge them all at once. Obviously they'll seem odd when you do that.

What are the indications that the design isn’t good?
arcatech··on Apple has a decade-long lead in wearables
It’s more likely that the usual anti-Apple arguments that are used in these conversations just really aren’t very good.
arcatech··on Fed up with the Mac, I spent six months with a Linux laptop
“It just works” never meant it was immune to bugs. No software is.
arcatech··on Ask HN: Are you using Go for web development?
Yup.

My personal website was built using Go and Postgres. I did a lot of it from scratch using the standard library and very few dependencies.

I have my own deployment process using a makefile, git tags, and rsync. Migrations are just a set of sql files checked into the project.

This works pretty well for me since I'm the only developer on the project.

arcatech··on Flexible working shows 55% high performers compared to 36% for 40 hours/week
The change that’s being described here is going FROM what you’re saying TO the realization that “politics” is not some separate thing that you can choose not to talk about, but actual issues that affect the lives of employees. People are tired of trying to ignore things that shouldn’t be ignored.

arcatech··on YouTube suspends Donald Trump's channel
It’s a large group of people. A large group of people all made the business decision that it’s better not to associate with Parler/Trump. That’s not coordinated deplatforming, that’s just a society making a decision.
