I expect all my public posts to be scraped, and I'm fine with that. I'm slightly biased towards it if it's for code generation.

Thanks, this clears things up. I didn't know what exactly was making print IO slow.

I don't use any complex TUIs. Pretty much everything is CLI or GUI. Which TUIs did you have in mind that were slow?

I'd like to test this soon. I'll look for a modern TUI framework.

I've never seen a slow terminal emulator. Most terminals have tabs and splits. Never experienced compatibility issues. Don't care about Zig at all.

Are these all the reasons? Another toy software written out of boredom.

I see people buying $300 AR glasses as a portable monitor to watch porn comfortably while in bed.

Ironically, Zuck is all about FAIR now. Shouldn't it be MAIR now? :)

M chip MacBooks are pretty sweet. Especially if you want Xcode.

It's a miracle that Google botched messengers, Google+, cloud ('member app engine?). They could have been even more dominant. I still like them more than MS and FB.

Will it lead to the exodus towards Matrix/Element? If I have to pay for messaging, I'd rather cut the middleman.

The Twitter format is crap. It's bad for search (Mastodon users don't wanna be searchable). There is a huge recency bias: observed in echo waves of circlejerk memes (CEO stuff being the most recent one). It limits discussion depth compared to the reddit format. Here on lemmy people often read all comments, and I like it even if mine get downvoted :)

The subscription model rarely works. Netflix now shows ads, Twitter is still in the red. The donation/self-hosted model is even less successful. I have an unpopular opinion that ads are still the best way to pay for servers and staff. Reddit users hated ads, and that led to them turning into a data repo for Gemini.

I hope Fedi becomes more accepting of ads, but it's a tall order given that it's still mostly pinkos and nerds.

Not true. SMS is encrypted in 3G, LTE, 5G. Block cyphers like Kasumi and A/9 are used. SMS is reasonably secure, because it's hard to infiltrate telecom systems like S7
