Yup, 100% completely local to your device alone
I don't understand why nobody did it in the past. It makes the experience so much better for normal users. I hope this becomes mainstream. Btw does it have any automatic analytics cache cleaning or something like that (so it doesn't grow 20 gigs of it in a year)? If so, make sure it cleans it periodically and not immediately when a piece of data becomes unneeded. On low end devices frequent write/delete cycles can be an issue
I can’t go into too much detail, I was working for a recognisable company who was dabbling in the Fediverse with a heavy lean towards empowering the users.
This was high on my list of demands. Along with fine grain controls for what metrics you opt into and what notifications you receive.
Project got gutted early this year.
Hmm that sounded a bit sus to me. I would highly suggest you not to work for unethical companies, mister/miss
Hate to tell you this, but most companies are varying degrees of unethical. If you write them all off you'd never have a job.
Nah, if you're patient and good at what you do, you can find work for an ethical org.
But it helps not having kids to feed
Brother, a lot of people go months without being able to find a job at all...
It might take years of applying for about 20 jobs per day across a few continents of cities to find an ethical one. It takes time.
Yeah, not everyone can afford to be perpetually looking for new jobs like it's a job while not having a job...
It helps when you live in a car
Your decisions are your decisions. My job is to promote ethics and to interrupt the work of unethical companies. Being ignorant and working for evil companies just for convenience is not good imo
It's not fucking "convenience", it's your livelihood. Check your privilege.
I appreciate the kind words. And yes, I included a mechanism to constantly refresh and clean up recommendations so that it doesn't use too much memory
