People are moving away from twitter because it’s full of spam, nudity and bullying. That doesn’t makes twitter any unique and/or worthy, that makes it toxic place to be in.
Freedom of speech and (nudity, bullying) are not the same thing.
if you don't mind pay a bit more, then i highly recommend name.com they have been in the business since ages.
if facebook and ig are allowed then threads will get the approval anytime soon anyway.
Thanks
facebook is dead after they bloated it with every possible idea a site can have. So this is a golden opportunity for Mark to capitalise on the users who prefer twitter-like communities and attract more investors.
Done, thanks.
I see your point, but the problem with Lemmy you don't have much control over the feed, say you want to focus on posts related only to Arduino inside a community that also include Rpi and others, currently there's no way to do that.
If Lemmy would implement a tag/topic feature, so you can tag the post from a preset list of tags set by the mods which works as a topic separator/distinguisher within a single community, then using a general and much broader communities would work.
Plus there are an RSS feed per-community, the previous point also applies to the RSS feed.
name.com is a good choice to consider, but they are more expensive than google domains.
I didn't say there are no alternatives, i said they are still not as good. Some libraries/toolset are still buggy, others lacking features, some are developing but really slow and lacking resources...etc.
For the time being, some users just want a tool that works, and if they have the license for it then why not? Plus no engineer will stick to one tool for the rest of their career anyway.
I agree with most of what you said, specially for those doing CS, maths and statistics, data science. It’s cheaper, easier and wiser to just learn python. Specially that you’ll learn more programming doing python than Matlab.
However for engineering projects/work related to electrical, mechanical and such, the alternatives are not as good. Python BMS is improving but still not as good as Simulink.
Plus as a student usually you don’t have the freedom of choice, if the course requires Matlab (and most engineering degrees do) then you must learn it, at least to the level that you can finish the required tasks/assignments.
Personally I’m not a huge fan of Matlab, it’s just a tool in my arsenal for specific tasks. Anything else I would prefer any other general-purpose programming language such as cpp, python…etc.
Ok will do, thanks.
As of today it wouldn’t be that hard, alternatives are available and some of them are as good but don’t have the same market share.
