Ever wondered what's under the guise of yet another developer tutorial or essay? Learn how "YouTube coders" have figured out monetization and what tactics they use to sell most of their products.

Alright, here is purely my takeaway from what I gleaned. It's not comprehensive by any means, so better watch the video first!

  • 🀏 Meritocracy
    • Misconceptions to make you marketable: "10x dev", "1% top software developers", etc.
    • These YouTubers don't want you to know that the world is unfair.
    • Students and AI fear as a market.
  • πŸ’Έ Money
    • Mere numbers to bait clicks: "75+ LPA", "HIGHEST SALARIES", etc.
    • Skill gap is the silent part.
  • πŸ“ˆ Trend chasing
    • Fearmongering is popular as ever.
    • Videobloggers plant the seed in unsuspecting minds and then retract when it bites them.
  • πŸ’© Bashing specific technologies
    • Saying "PHP bad" just because they use framework for unintended designs.
    • Switching involves burning previous technology, somehow.
  • πŸ˜“ Regret videos
    • Bad message: software engineering is a race with finish line.
    • Trying to be relatable to the viewer by demonstratively showing resignation.

Exactly because the thing is FOSS, that becomes possible for more people with enough qualifications to resume it. In proprietary case, only very limited circle gets to touch the source code. We're probably witnessing a curse with virtual keyboards in FOSS, like some niche kinds of software...

Oh... It sucks.

 

I came across everyday topic on Techlore Discussions about free and open source keyboards for Android and discovered this little gem. It is FlorisBoard, a virtual keyboard for Android which respects privacy of the user. I can sigh with relief and finish my search for that singular keyboard for typing stuff on the go.

It has everything I need and more.

  • Multilanguage support: detailed layout options, popular presets
  • Swift and glide typing experience
  • Customizable gestures: switch language by fast swiping the keyboard itself left and right, change case by swiping up, the infamous cursor swipe on space bar
  • Emojis
  • Clipboard
  • Smartbar: quick actions and clipboard cursor tools
  • One-handed mode
  • Other look-and-feel settings

Everything was loading so slow 2 hours ago. Hope it will get better from there.

Edit: When I press "Post", it doesn't respond very long time, but reloading page helps.

Thanks for clarification. Just edited to include a swear!

Ahha, as I suspected. Of course, despite having stats for each and every tweet in database, they wouldn't even care to check if some particular tweet was loaded for the user. That's not an issue though, Twitter is just a walled garbage.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

Who would even read 300 a day?

Nevertheless, Twitter has fucking died. πŸ˜†

Did you play Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright? If so, how would you compare its multiple witness dynamic with one in TGAA? They went full speed ahead with PLvsPW once this was a thing.

The moments where other witness is confused about one talking, not all of them were important. And finding the most crucial of interruptions felt very rewarding because of such distinction.

Was taken a moment ahead of disaster.

And! Yet this has been posted here. Irony 🫠

If you can build your thinking around outlining and can tolerate minute inconveniences, I think it's a nice tool for PKM. Not sure about what privacy Logseq adds, from the perspective of someone who uses Obsidian with SyncThing to synchronize his notes between devices.
