As someone who used reddit for 14+ years, this place feels exactly like early Reddit, a place where you actually can converse with anyone and contribute instead of yelling into the void. Realistically we will always have both, but many more will join the verse everytime Reddit has an oopsie.

What a trainwreck of a thread

OP:

This community filters comments from anyone who isn’t a mod of an active community with more than 50 subscribers. [...]

Yep, you're right. It should be disclosed on the sidebar. We won't do it right now for obvious reasons, but will have this updated before the next post.

So we're witnessing a thread of angry mods being angry, OP is cherry picking comments and still can't manage to listen to them.

Only got more relevant over time unfortunately.

Started as a school project

I wouldn't take it so seriously, it's a passion project from a person learning about Rust and OS structure. Don't compare this project against industry professionals.

Lmao beans fit that list, we can cringe about it all we want now but at the time we're building community.

This one and the maze game were so prevalent back then

It was [95% of companies]

Reminds me a lot of this Crackermilk skit lmao

Nah, the same reason why DJ's can be good or bad. Guiding the vibe of the audience is what they do, playing with the tension and energy of the crowd. Pleasing a crowd is easier than one specific person though, but the same rules apply when picking songs for yourself.

Nobody made a Motorhead joke yet? This is Lemmy goddammit!

Yep. I kept baconreader installed with an API patch so when I click on a reddit link I didn't have to interact with their horrible interface, earlier this week I clicked one and the app still worked, now it doesn't. When I was switching being able to continue using my app was a godsend, now I won't even bother with changing my User-Agent lmao.

convenience thing first and a privacy thing second

This is convenience and privacy, with a SolidPod you decide who stores the data. It could be you, it could be any federated instance, but that data is encrypted and you decide which application can use which data. They use a WebID (see this as a hash of your unique profile) to identify the user and this would be the only data that is shared between you and any federated instance.

Exactly, folding phones have so many issues people very rarely buy a folding one again.

I think social media is a solved problem at this point, you'll need something radical or game changing to actually break through in this market. Combined with the fact that the fediverse is inherently much more difficult to monetize I don't see many companies taking on that challenge.

FOSS projects might though, but they tend to grow too slow to be disruptive.

One of the guys who invented the process for large scale production was Fritz Haber, to make explosives and chemical weapons. He's also responsible for using chlorine gas on the battlefield in WW1. His wife was a chemist and an activist, who shot herself in the heart after learning about his involvement. Haber left within days for the Eastern Front to oversee gas release against the Russian Army.

He ended up saving more lives than he destroyed, but what a story.

Did you read the article though? The title is more of a dark statement on how reddit will always have the final word.

Yet GDPR requires if you operate anywhere but allow European citizens to register, you have to be GDPR compliant as well, or risk being blocked by an entire continent.

LLMs are all crap, and people are slowly realising this

LLM's have already changed the tech space more than anything else for the last 10 years at least. I get what you're trying to say but that opinion will age like milk.

Edit: made wording clearer

Some of that real fediverse freedom

Ansible is great for this!

And possible federation as well, very nice. Is this using SolidPods or did they just name their* server similarly?

You're going to love SolidPods, honestly. From the website:

Solid is a specification that lets individuals and groups store their data securely in decentralized data stores called Pods. Pods are like secure web servers for data. When data is stored in a Pod, its owners control which people and applications can access it.

I see no possible way that a centralized identity can be more private that an array of separate ones.

Check out the specifications as well, using Pods you could have seperate accounts on every platform linked only by the ability to login using your Pod.

The regulation provides that by 2027 portable batteries incorporated into appliances should be removable and replaceable by the end-user

Seems pretty clear cut to me. Also, USB-C being mandatory on iPhones as well soon. The EU very clearly clarified that there are no loopholes and every chargeable device will have a USB-C port, no exceptions, I'd expect the same from this.

For sure, but making an OS is not a one man job anymore.

Lmao true

It would, it has, next step after DMCA even in the EU is legal action, which nintendo already fought in court. I don't know about you but I'm not ready to defend someone else's code in court.

My brother was like "you have to wear headphones so you can concentrate", I can still feel the betrayal

I knew there would be at least one TempleOS reference in this thread lmao

You could start by downloading your Google data raw, much easier to explore your own data if it's all on the same drive.

You can see the tiles are uneven ground there as well, I will update if they eventually fix the road and put it back properly

Just please don't look how our politicians have reacted to the Israeli conflict

"your point" was that the EU can force a fine on any foreign company operating outside the EU for not following local laws, which is ridiculous. But I agree with the rest.

In response to this rumor, European Commissioner Thierry Breton has sent Apple a letter warning the company that limiting the functionality of USB-C cables would not be permitted and would prevent iPhones from being sold in the EU when the law goes into effect, according to German newspaper Die Zeit.

No exceptions.

I'm hoping sentiment is shared enough for this not to be effective. We'll see

Haven't heard this in forever! Thanks

Ofcourse they do, because they want to keep their business working in Europe. Which doesn't apply to a decentralized system like the fediverse. But they do not have to pay the fine if they shut down all operations within Europe, which no company wants to do.

When you put all the five year olds on earth in one room, every one of you would be able to compare two blocks, a rod and a ball. Depending on how you were thought you either pass the rod along or the ball. Then some very smart people came up with special ways to do very hard maths using those blocks.

Now, in the olden days they kept the way they thought those kids a secret. But we knew what the results were, so we could all do much harder math then we could do in our heads. So while the other adults knew how to pack you all closer together and needed new ways to do even harder math, there was a group of good people who didn't really like all the secrecy and thought that they were doing it way to complicated but couldn't do anything about it.

Like it always is, years went by and the world changed, they kept making up new rules on how the blocks should be passed around so it became slower. Those good people then decided we should be simplifying, to make it faster yet again! "And no more secrecy!" - They said. "So everyone can build their own mini five year old sweat shops and it would cost significantly less then it does now!"

USA: Oh yeah ofcourse I understand

EU: Hmmmmmm
