@berkes You can totally pick and choose which country you live in, if you put in enough effort! You know english, you don't seem dumb! You can do it!It's the same with amazon. You can do other shit, if you put in enough effort too! Sneak was elucidating it for you, and knowing how much effort sneak already puts into living a somewhat alternative life to the default get-tracked-by-everything life, there is a good reason why he says it's a different service level than you think.

@sneak apple’s os design basically ensures only apple can do true background sync of photos, otherwise you have to open the app and leave it in the foreground as it syncs. I like mylio and it has e2ee, native desktop and mobile and can eat a 1 million photo library and stay fast, but it’s not OSS so you didnt like it in the past.

@newt You're are also in europe, containing some the least biz friendly places in the world. I remember talking to a swedish guy recently about how it's impossible to fire long-timers since the firing / layoff order is most junior to senior, so a lot of sr. guys just check out and are unproductive.All of the immigrant hostility comes from the govt trying to please their anti-immigrant constituent. You can also start a company in not EU if it's an online biz.

@sneak probably more outdoorsy types than 3 day battery life nerds, and the nerds will figure it out on their own anyway.

@sneak when you talk to people actually working at elon companies its yikes land all over on engineering decisons. It might be a USA type thing although, where there is so much bad but one or two rare essentials make up for it.Seriously concerned for their infra in 6 month from now with how many people they let go.

@sneak the difference between a startup and twitter is twitter is a huge castle and startups are appropriately sized for their staffing level. Its worse to have to ‘maintain the castle’ with %70 less staff than it is to be a startup with an equal staffing level cutting corners. What elon is doing is also pretty bad even for startup management. He reminds me of a kid deleting random files in system32 because he doesnt even understand what they are for and borking his OS.

@sneak this comes from personal experience in a similar situation. It will take a while for it to become more and more noticeable, like a car you stop doing maintenance for. You can start to see signs of it with more random stuff breaking already.

@sneak recruiting for what? From my experience most recruiters are more facilitators and lead gen, the sale is still up to the company themself

Got a pixel 7 to see how the dark side progressed over time.1. It's gotten much nicer GUI wise!2. Many apps are pretty decent3. There are a few features that are nice like work profiels & multi-user which apple should adopt.4. Still, after all this time, some things strangely don't work great. Like compressing a 151MB 60s screen recording from the OS is not built in and you need to use strange janky screen compressor apps that take forever. iOS is built in and very fast.

The video compression thing is strange as fuck too, since I imagine there is a native video compression API that could do it quickly vs the CPU thing I'm imagining these apps are doing.Another thing is how when I try to install a 15MB app from the google store, it's stuck in a pending state for a long time, and other times it's very fast.Lets see what other jank items I uncover as I poke around the phone.

And now I got a $350 trade in refund for the broken screen 6 year old iphone I had 😂 . Google really wants to boost their numbers.I haven't used it as much once I got over the novelty. I think it's me waiting for my google store credit to come in so I can get a free case essentially. But there are a bunch of use cases that I can only use on android that I'm finding attractive, like VPN forcing. Also VPN works way better on it than my iPhone.

@sneak IMO good recruiting comes from having an effort that attracts the space laser people in the first place.

@sneak if your going to use something proprietary try out mylio then? At least your not giving money to adobe, it is a small company, it does e2ee, migrates easily from lightroom, is performant and multiplatform and they are pretty responsive on their forums
