  • Additionally, I can’t really understand why are dynamically linked libraries so popular and how on earth anyone who ever had a “.dll / .so not found” error thinks this is a good idea.

    1. You can load a DLL once and all programs can share it, saving memory. It also makes programs start faster since the DLL might be already loaded, so there’s less to load from disk. That mattered more back in the 90s
    2. You can update one file and have the patch apply to all programs










  • Thankfully, my answer isn’t nobody.

    I was completely alone until high school. I’ve got Asperger’s so that didn’t help things, but therapy and finally meeting sane people in high school got me to make friends. I’m ending college now and I’m still in touch with them. Got at least three people ready to listen to my rambling.

    Now my biggest worry is losing them. I doubt I could rebuild that relationship with anyone else. We’ve been through everything.






  • Meta already had federated with XMPP back in the day, then dropped it when it was convenient.

    They are gonna do the same for the fediverse. All they want from us is the starter content so that their service isn’t empty for the first two months. They literally don’t want to do the work that reddit founders had to do - generate content and pretend there are users to a new blank platform. After that the federation features are going to become legacy.

    Not cooperating with corpos is a matter of principles.
