#Google kills a lot of great ideas, but I think the most tragic is #CardboardCamera
It allows you to capture 3D depth using a regular smartphone. Viewing these photos in a #GoogleCardboard headset is incredibly immersive.
I don't understand why no one else has picked up where they left off.

It’s so nuts to me that people used to get in giant wood boats and shoot metal bowling balls at other giant wood boats to sink them for a job. Really puts writing yaml files in perspective.

@npub1ecp…59pq fungi generally specialize in one food source or another, so I doubt that fungus that eats dead leaves will also parasitize living plants. Further, fungus that colonizes trees isn't likely to colonize garden plants and vice versa.
There's a lot of fungi, and they don't follow rules so you could be right, but still leaves are a good component to compost, and if you do that right it kills the fungi anyway.
Anyway, you inspired me to rake just now so thanks! 🍂

I feel like my entire career in #webDev there has always been the tools that I'm interested in learning, and the tools that someone wants to pay me to use, and the later is always five years behind the former.
Just once I wish someone would let me skate to where the puck is going.
Is *anyone* hiring for #webComponents #webSockets or #progressiveWebApps? I've been using these things for years now, surely it's time to start moving away from ReactJS now.

I feel that the #fediverse's lack of an #algorithm is *more* toxic than #Twitter; on #mastodon's #chronological timeline I feel like I'm missing out on important signal in the noise so I have to spend more time combing through it, exploring #hashtags, #following them, #mute words, build #lists, etc. With Twitter there were ads, but also there was all the best stuff since the last time you logged in, sorted by how interesting it would be to YOU! That was awesome; I miss that!

@npub1u27…3qfq
1. Open Standards - the fediverse is just an extension of the web, an open standard for social networking was inevitable, and long overdue.
2. Decentralization - preventing a single entity from becoming a gatekeeper and bottleneck like Twitter and Reddit did.
3. Moderation - communities want to set cultural standards for themselves, and still communicate with each other.
All of these are reactions to centralized big-tech having captured social media in Web2.0

@npub1mzd…ttwq some people say you should only catch one exception per try, but sometimes you have a chain of exceptionable statements; a chain of API calls say where each depends on the success of the previous. If you just have one catch you have to then have a switch to figure out which one it was that failed. But since you don't want to do the subsequent you dont want sequential try/catches unless you short circuit return between them.

#lemmy/#kbin has a problem that #mastodon hasn't even attempted to solve; groups and what happens when they get popular.
#Communities, #groups, #magazines, whatever they are called are implemented as #Actors in #ActivityPub. They are basically just *very* popular users who boost a *lot*.
