author: Don’t build the Torment Nexus

us techbros: Look at this magnificent Torment Nexus we built from the book “Don’t build the Torment Nexus”

europe: You are not ethical enough to build the Torment Nexus out of the book “Don’t build the Torment Nexus”! We must build it ourself!

sheesh dumbasses everywhere

not only likely… i read somewhere that make more money with linux stuff on azure than with anything else they do can’t find the source rn tho

nope… that’s just local.

in that regard every text editor or any software that just CRUDs files locally would be local-first and the term would be meaningless

local-first means that it does not need internet-access to work and use the app and synchronization comes later, when there’s time and internet access. please read up on this.

these are the guys who coined the term

edit: i originally wrote “local-first means that it does need internet-access to work and use the app…”, which is bullshit and also doesn’t make sense in the context. i added the “not” so it is clear.

If you have to use a third party app to sync, it’s not local-first, it’s just local.

i mean maybe some distros will add something, i don’t know. and i don’t care because i don’t have to. shit like that is deinstalled faster than an llm can print an emdash.
