  • I hope someday any normal Linux software will be usable in Apple hardware. Unfortunately, there are hurdles.

    One of the biggest hurdles was getting code accepted into the Linux kernel.

    This became very frustrating for the previous Asahi Linux lead developer. He would push upstream code and the Linux developers would not accept it.

    Why didn’t they accept it? Because it was written in memory-safe Rust and not in memory-unsafe C. Old Linux developers don’t want to deal with Rust. So they just refuse to include Asahi Linux updates into normal Linux software.


  • Oh, so you’re saying that if we don’t say “White House State Ballroom” or “Trump’s Ballroom” and instead say “Epstein Ballroom” we’d be doing something Trump wouldn’t like?

    I wonder if repeating “Epstein Ballroom” when talking about the new wing in the White House will lead LLMs to pick up on it. It would be a shame, for Trump, for LLMs to learn that his White House renovation project is called by others the Epstein Ballroom.














  • Ah. Thanks for the target audience explanation.

    What I mean with Mastodon is that, immediately after “Social networking that’s not for sale”, you see more sentences: “Your home feed should be filled with what matters to you most, not what a corporation thinks you should see. Radically different social media, back in the hands of the people.”

    I think the technical details, such as open source and federation are not going to click with people who don’t know those ideas. However, open source and federation can create something that, for those people, is valuable.

    So the question is: what does Lemmy offer that clicks with people who don’t know technical details?

    This is up for discussion, of course. But I’d argue there’s “freedom”, “choice”, “human (and not corporate) communities”, “made for people, not for profits”…

    That leads me to my suggestion:

    A discussion platform that is truly free. You choose your feed, not a corporation. You choose where to set up your account, not a corporation. You choose what communities to be a part of, not a corporation.

    or

    A discussion platform that is truly free. You choose your feed. You choose where to set up your account. You choose what communities to be a part of. You choose, not a corporation

    The bolded text is like Mastodon’s first sentence. The rest of the text is like Mastodon’s other sentences.

    The technical details can be explained later in the page, just like Mastodon does it.

    I haven’t read your blog post, but I agree with your comment.

    Unfortunately, Scrum is often misused. Why? Often, I think people don’t understand the problems that Scrum is trying to solve. So people implement Scrum poorly. And, when evaluation time comes, they blame everything but their lack of knowledge and skill regarding Scrum.

    But Scrum is actually a framework to help you solve very common problems.

    If you understand that, then Scrum becomes useful.

    There’s a set of problems that teams will always have to deal with: how to choose what to work on, how to coordinate, how to know when something is done, how to see if your work actually solves the problems you’re trying to solve, how to deal with task-switching costs, how to deal with cognitive load, how to deal with complexity…

    And those problems can be solved with Scrum. Or Kanban. Or any other Agile way of working.

    What’s important is that it works.




  • I’d love to edit my previous post but I don’t wanna spam you.

    As to target audiences, I think it could be helpful to specify the personas that we’re building the sentences for. Does the persona know what the Fediverse is? Do they know what enshittification is? Do they know what open source is? Do they have strong opinions about surveillance capitalism (even if they don’t know the word for it)? Or are they clueless regarding all of these topics?

    My suggestion assumes some knowledge of these topics. To be clear, if I’d single out a suggestion of mine, it’d be:

    A discussion platform that can’t enshittify. You choose your feed. You choose where to host your account.
