-
because what do you win? lots of users? to be the dominant social media platform? that's pretty cool to brag about, but... servers cost money to run, and moderation is a tiring & time consuming process! Twitter costs a lot to run, and (before Elon) didn't quite break even.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
Mastodon doesn't have ads. it's funded by - well, there's a Patreon for the main dev & biggest instances, it makes around £300k a year: patreon.com/mastodon . that pays for the hosting costs & a little bit to support a few devs at way below market rate.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
but most people aren't on the main instances. they're on a spread of smaller instances, mostly run by volunteers. server costs are often covered by users chipping in, but admin time rarely is. moderation, server admin (including, recently, dealing with a load of load spikes)Permalink Look on archive.org
-
why do people run instances? because they want to provide something for the community they're in. because they believe that places to hang out online shouldn't only be run for the benefit of corporations. because they like playing with tech.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
the process of choosing a server is the process of finding someone who wants you around enough to do free work to maintain a space for you to do it in. of course there's friction! you're not doing them a favour by joining - they're doing you a favour.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
reduce that friction, and you can win - win users, win work, win responsibility. it's flipped around! and i get that this can be surprising, it's counter to a lot of instincts we've built up. but... that's because it's genuinely not a service built on a capitalist model.Permalink Look on archive.org

it is cheering to see pushback to this in the replies and QTs yes, this increases retention. but so many people describe their relationship with Duolingo streaks as one that is compelling in a way that is bad for them & supplants their desire to learn a language. @abouelatta_ali/1594707015032455168Permalink Look on archive.org

like, yes, vocabulary learning is the kind of thing that benefits from spaced repetition, which means repeatedly coming back to an app to practice is good for long term learning. but that connection is not strong enough to withstand Goodhart's Law.Permalink Look on archive.org

of course, this dynamic is complicated by the fact that Duolingo (the company) has different incentives than their users. they want people to keep engaging with the app, their users want to learn a language. they're both pulling in a similar, but not identical, direction.Permalink Look on archive.org

good thread on the way software expectations slip backwards despite constant forward language. but this tweet also got me thinking about how videogames are one place this is a bit less true? @sigfig/1595513805915623425Permalink Look on archive.org
-
like, obviously a lot of games sprawl out in the space that they're given, but I think the way most of them expect to be the only thing running, and are setup in a way where FPS is a very apparent and visible target...Permalink Look on archive.org
-
and like, sure there's a bunch of games where there's an necessary frame or two of input latency. but generally videogame people are the ones who are gonna pick up on that stuff and try to fix it, even if it does make the code uglier.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
idk, I am generally pretty pleased with Flutter's performance, but as I work with it I do feel slightly adrift being quite so far away from a sense of "how long does a frame take". I know the answers are in there, I'm just at the other end of a big pile of abstractions.Permalink Look on archive.org

@dannybirchall but isn't that exactly what the naturalisation of the letter form does? taking the characteristic quirks of the form and smoothing them out for the sake of a comprehensible narrative?Permalink Look on archive.org

@dannybirchall tho I guess epistolary novels are usually less *about* the form of the letter than the Extremely Online are about the way that Online has shaped language and communication. but early novels were often epistolary - & then, obviously, letters were old and familiar & novels... novelPermalink Look on archive.org

@steveruizok @ctjlewis i have a lot of sympathy for these arguments, *but* i do think there is always something powerful you get when designers are able to directly modify the design of the thing you're making, rather than have to go through engineersPermalink Look on archive.org
-
@steveruizok @ctjlewis this might be because i'm coming from games, where the workflow is different and less standardized - Figma etc is less dominant there & it's more likely that engineers will be building internal tools to allow designers to make changes to the gamePermalink Look on archive.org
-
@steveruizok @ctjlewis and maybe Figma is close enough to kind of solve a lot of this stuff! like, ultimately this is an argument about process, and about allowing designers to have a closer iteration loop & make those very minute changes that might not be worth looping through an engineerPermalink Look on archive.org
-
@steveruizok @ctjlewis and also, finally - this might be a blindspot for you precisely because you're the kind of design-detail-oriented engineer who would be pushing these kind of small details anyway. but alas, there are not enough engineers with The Eye to make "just hire one of those" the solutionPermalink Look on archive.org
-
@ctjlewis @steveruizok i mean, every game is different, but, as an example: if you're building something with a 3D world with lots of Stuff in it, you'd have a level designer placing trigger volumes & hooking up logic to them... but not writing that logic themselves.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@ctjlewis @steveruizok and if you're doing this in either Unity or Unreal, the engineers will be exposing an interface to make those edits, probably adding in validation logic, probably writing debug views, maybe custom UI for it... etc etcPermalink Look on archive.org
-
@steveruizok @ctjlewis yeah, these are good points - you might be right & that this is something that needs to be built "underneath" the design tool to work, rather than on top. but i definitely feel the desire for it!Permalink Look on archive.org
