Still fascinates me how many folks in the US use SMS. It’s been dead for over a decade now over here. I mean I would have expected it to stay with a lot of folks using feature phones. But that also not the case as far as I know.

Scaling monoliths still works fine though. Microservices are first and foremost an answer to an organizational problem, not a technical one. There is a very high chance that if you are doing microservices with less than 20 people, or let’s say even 50 people, you are doing it wrong.
Microservices introduce a ton of overhead in engineering effort required, which needs to be balanced with the benefit they provide.
Scaling shouldn’t be the first and only reason for doing microservices.
It’s weird how different these feeds are. I only have posts about people asking about these beans posts. But no beans posts themselves whatsoever.
It feels like a mix of Squad with Call of Duty tbh. at least based on how it’s played on public servers. It’s noticeable that it’s squad inspired, but at the same time it’s more played like a fast round of call of duty. Which is a super weird mix.
Maybe post it into a few more communities for viability? /s
Totally besides the point of the article, but…
„Clearly people were after a Battlefield-like that isn't from EA“.
Clear sign that the author hasn’t played the game yet. It’s not even close to Battlefield. It plays and feels totally different. The only thing that is similar is that there are classes and there is „Battle“ in the name.
I mean who cares. It will be dead in due time anyways. Happened to all the last hyped Twitter clones. Will happen to that one as well.
Da musst du den Nippel durch ziehen.
I started using Lemmy in a mobile browser, but it isn’t optimized for it. Feels clunky and the auto reload of new posts made it close to unusable. Coming back from a post to the feed always had me searching for where I was last. Also the experience in these mobile apps is more optimized.
Was für eine abscheuliche, von der Realität entfernte, Stimmungsmache.
I haven’t tried a lot. But Memmy for iOS is working quite well for me at the moment.
I think that might be a narrow view though. Most of the world likely doesn’t use SMS anymore (for probably a decade). So removing SMS didn’t make much of a difference there, but increased security. Especially when people are used to use multiple apps anyways.
So the better analogy would be “imagine if gopher and http needed separate browsers”. Except they do.
