That's nice in theory. In practise though im doubtful. Churn is going to be much higher on something like peer tube than something like traditional bit torrent. Access patterns might also potentially be distributed badly for some videos.
Not to mention the long tail of less popular vidros.
If the issues you are worried about aren't present yet, then logically right now it would be a comparable to and a competitor with YouTube. People in the main don't avoid web services because of hypothetical technical problems that might exist in the future but that the design seems superficially resistant to.
PeerTube actually does have technical issues in there here and now, but the number one problem is just that YouTube is an excellent service preferred by both users and advertisers and PeerTube doesn't seem able to outdo it in any meaningful way.
More money is not the problem, Firefox receives 600+ million USD per year. Is how they waste the money and going back on their pledges and what Mozilla stood for
At the end of the article the author seems resigned and that it seems impossible to bring this to the end user. I don't understand why? Why can't this be a keyboard that I can switch to, like I'm able to switch from Samsung keyboard to Google keyboard? Or like an accessibility app?
Because the text editing process is baked in the base UI classes on Android (TextView), you cannot change it with an app. OEM manufacturers sometimes do because they ship different class code with their OS.
But the author works at Google, so can surely pass the message on up the chain that this design decision is stifling innovation in touch-based text editing?
I suggest focusing on the minimum viable product: an app with a single text field.
Maybe add the option to load and save txt files, but even clipboard I/O would be sufficient. Just let people play with the editor. If it's actually good, the next steps should become obvious.
Can someone explain to me what is the advantage of using something like LastPass over simply the in-built password manager that Firefox or other browsers have? I know that LastPass can be used for desktop applications too, but if you are only using a password for the web, is LastPass offering anything more than the in-built browser password manager?
Also doesn’t support recovery questions. As someone who generally enjoys safari, the password manager could use some love. Integration across devices is good though.
Downside of Firefox Sync for password management is indeed its lack of iOS app integration. Sadly, I suspect it is Apple making it impossible to compete.
Upside is that it also syncs to my Firefox on Linux, which Apple’s doesn’t.
credentials/certificates/keys/data storage, secure sharing etc. Pretty much anything that's more complex than single user username + password doesn't seem to be served by the current built-in managers.
A lot of these require deeper system integration, and this is not, in my experience, cross-platform. I’d rather have to drag my SSH/VPN keys and certs around manually, and have basic password management working across iOS, MacOS and Linux.
Most well-documented pharmacological intervention to increase lifespan in aspirin. The most well-documented non-pharmacological is caloric restriction (with some evidence showing protein restriction).
No they used the equivalent of a crazy, maybe infinitely, dense “bit” and all “programming” is things invented by the human brain to model this unknowable “objective” architecture. The universe isn’t actually a computer and even if it is it’s a computer so beyond us that computer science isn’t adequate to describe it.
Well...sort of. The last part is my hypothesis. The first part isn't. Particles don't have a trajectory (location and momentum) within spacetime in the normal way we think of them as having. This has been known for a very long time :)
