You don’t love me.

Having summer and winter start around the same time every year is a pretty good thing to have.

You missed a /s marker

Avelon too.

As someone just learning Go, the current behaviour is really unexpected. I’m happy that they are changing it.

I’m envious of people who can use modern Java. We’re still on the #roadto11 from Java 8. It’s good though that newer versions are incremental. The path to upgrades should be simpler.

This is exactly what they are complaining about 😛

I can’t seem to access https://literature.cafe as well. Was there any communication about that?

The Google Play Store uses a technique called delta patching to calculate the diff server side and avoid transferring parts of the app that haven’t changed since your original installation.

This is understandably not perfect because they want to avoid load on their servers and also the extra processing on your device to “unpack” it. So what you have is a happy medium between sending the entire app again and sending strictly the diff.

You go Go!

I read somewhere on Lemmy that ich_iel deliberately uses wrong words four the lulz. So be careful or you’ll be learning bad grammar. Youse diggitty?

The apps are already amazing and will not suffer issues of scale themselves because they run on users’ devices. The scaling issues will be in Lemmy server code and ActivityPub in general.

ActivityPub doesn’t seem very scalable IMHO. It works well if all instances are about the same size and communities are well-distributed. Right now a few servers like lemmy.world, sh.itjust.works, and lemmy.ml are much larger than others. They host most of the popular communities as well. This creates an imbalance which ActivityPub doesn’t handle well.

I think Lemmy instances should be topic based. But that’d be confusing for people coming from centralized social media who are only trying to find a reliable starting place. So I really hope we reach a point of maturity and mainstream-ness of Fediverse that people feel comfortable with smaller theme-based instances.
