Every idea I have has been done 5 times now. It doesn't help my only ideas are types of social media, and I'm ready to just give up because no one gives a fuck.

Seriously though, is there any point in trying to become successful? I could just build stuff that makes me happy and I can feel proud of, instead of caring what others think and stress myself out with users.

I don't try to compete with big social media, but even a niche community is a PIA to moderate. Being a janny is a huge toll on mental health and anything I build must either be zero moderation effort or have an extremely high entry barrier to post. I already have some ideas but it's just so demotivating knowing a functional site won't get me a job/secure a good future because literally nobody gives a fuck! HR karens don't care what I learned and what I'm capable of

If you want users, you'll have to target the audience of short form content. Under 1 minute, and jumping from one video to the next, minimal permanence with nothing being memorable, but the majority love it, so that seems to be the future.
But if you don't want to moderate, then it'd be best to sell the tools and services of an opportunity, rather than deal with that headache yourself, assuming then that there are enough people with a vision out there to know what to do with your software tools.
Regardless, finding success alone is near impossible, and working together with someone is a must.

This sounds like a design problem more than anything

When creating a community how exactly you structure it and design the environment people can interact with it is a big factor. Some communities basically run themselves, on the other hand an anonymous basket weaving forum such as this requires moderation because the format and culture allows and encourages people to do anything. Something like a niche fishing forum probably requires very little moderation because it doesn't attract the types of people who need to be moderated. Social media itself is a dead end, at least at scale, because there's no way to control who is going to be there

longsoon processors are running a novel architecture that only has a handful of linux distros that support it, so unless you can read chinese i don't really see how you're going to even use it.

zhaoxin processors are based on patents VIA stole from intel like thirty years ago and when intel bought them out and shuttered the company five years ago VIA sold their remaining IP to a chinese company.

hygon processors are literally zen 2 on a worse process node. same architecture and performance.

all three of them are going to have massive backdoors

>>107842078
NTA.
The point is that Rust didn't wanished in last 3 years. In last 3 years, the amount of libraries written in Rust doubled and the amount of library downloads grew tenfold. That's an exponential growth.
The point is OP is a "tech enthusiast" nocoder who judges technology based on YouTube videos instead of actual data and actual personal experience.

In my country everything is a app nowadays which sucks more ass than you can imagine.

I'm a legit student and entitled to student discounts on trains. One day I noticed that my student card app had stopped working because it wanted to be updated and - you guessed it - my iOS version wasn't supported anymore.
I had no time and even less interest in buying a new 500-dollar student card machine just because the guy who made the app is a lazy fuck who refuses to code in support for older iOS versions.
You know what I did? I quickly coded a mockup version of the app. A screenshot wouldn't be enough because the app has animated shit to prevent that. I used CSS to mimic the animations.
I remade the QR code so that it takes you to my personal website which simply states "yup, the student status is valid".

Amazingly, it worked. The weird thing is that 10 years ago I couldn't of forged my physical student card no matter what. But in the "secure" digital era any asshole can remake an app in a couple of hours.

>you're a criminal
No I'm nut. If I'd gotten caught, they could of phoned my university and check that my student status is valid. The app itself is just an unnecessary middle man making me watch ads and I don't understand why I'd have to use it.

Android has a different approach. You can keep installing shit forever but you might actually brick your phone by upgrading to a newer version of Android

>If you want to use ancient hardware

My phone is 7 years old. I guess it classifies as "ancient" by today's standards.

I think it's such a consumerist goy mindset to think your phone is too old when it physically still functions as intended.
Something like a student card app is literally just a blinking light and a QR code as a standalone application.
I dont see why a phone from 2010 wouldn't run that. Why does text and a gif animation require a new phone every 3 years? It's not like I'm getting new features - the old features are just requiring better hardware. This is what boggles my mind

Just some cool shit I found while optimizing a function for a package I'm making:
>package summary: convert tabular data output from duckdb sql queries into elisp data structures (alist,vector,plist,hash,etc).

While adding a new format called columnar I was benchmarking the time it took to convert a 1 million row alist to it, these were the results for each method (N = iterations)
| Benchmark             | Mean  | Min   | Max   | N |
|-----------------------+-------+-------+-------+---|
| mapcar | 4.23s | 4.21s | 4.26s | 5 |
| pre-alloc-simple | 3.60s | 3.55s | 3.64s | 5 |
| pre-alloc-single-pass | 5.30s | 5.29s | 5.32s | 5 |


BUT, after running native-compile on the functions and then running the benchmark again.

i will try to speak a bit more technically here so that maybe you'll understand what really causes problems in linux. most linux distributions are just package curators, they simply take the packages, compile them in an integrated way with the rest of the system (libraries, file structure, etc.), test them, and deploy them to production individually. however, many of the problems we see discussed in linux aren't related to linux fragmentation, but to the lack of responsibility and *real* technical support from the linux distributions themselves. companies like apple and microsoft (before windows 11) also use third-party libraries, but these companies are responsible for curating and integrating these packages with the system.

and all the problems we see in linux are related to this lack of support. note that is not in solving problems individually, these we can find online, but in an integrated way, people don't know what wpa_supplicant is. therefore, i end up arguing that there should be companies that pay developers to establish an architecture and technical support for these operating systems, but i don't deny my lack of knowledge to define whether something so community-based can exist.

however, for it to exist, the "upstream first" culture has to die. we need to be more pragmatic; open-source projects should be forked, and important system functionality packages should indeed be forked for individual maintenance of each operating system. we need to stop being afraid to fork a project, provide maintenance, patches, and solve real problems.

I don't think we have to change that much, just to try to push this "upstream first" away a bit. RHEL does this, Google does this with Android, System76 did this with GNOME (which created COSMIC). Maybe these "lego" distros has its place to give control to the power user, but it definitely does not have space in the end-user space.

I thought this too when i saw the date on my ereader. Its change log is vague, only thing it says is "security and stability" or something to that effect. Features that were in beta 10 years ago are still in the beta tab, there are no perceivable changes. In fact, the only thing that has changed is that i can no longer access the sync feature or the kobo book store from the reader. Just fails it every time. So yeah, surprising to see it was updated as recently as a few months ago only to have nothing different and less features working on it. Doesn't really mean much does it?

Again, my original point was that i think it's actually crazy that this ancient device is barely any worse than something i just purchased in Amazon that released this last year. Its hard to believe so little has changed performance wise.
>>
>>107840463
I don't know the exact device you purchased but for I don't think that there have been no improvements.

13.3" isn't quite A4, B5 is a better approximation.
More screen real estate is always a plus. Double pages and split screen with notes are common benefits.
