That is literally what non-Open Source/capitalism is like:

• You don't pay, you are the product
• You pay, you are the product and you pay for it

Threads still hasn't actually fully connected with the fediverse, they are working on that, and until yesterday they weren't live in Europe yet, so it wasn't a real alternative for many people. That is changing drastically.

This post sounds to me exactly like people's reactions to Brexit. They were like "see, it's not to bad" for the whole time when nothing was implemented yet. And then it actually went live, and everything went to shit. Keep an eye on when things actually go live the way they plan.

No, because trans men are "biologically women" and are thus specifically allowed by this approach. It's the same kind of conflation that causes the bathroom issues. People only seem to understand that trans women exist and think they are the same as trans men. Reminding people that trans men exist hopefully gets peoples brains working.

It's still a social construct if it's based on facts. Social construct doesn't mean fake, it means we gave it a name and meaning.

I think the issue most companies don't realize is that we are forcing many people under a living wage, and at that point being paid better is the only thing that counts.

and when you reach 10%, you basically toggle the general opinion massively.

I have a XX/XY friend. You tell me their sex/gender.

Also because Swedish is one of the two official languages of Finland, about 20% of the country and most of them in Helsinki.

Only outside of Mastodon. People confuse decentralized, P2P and federated and think it's a free to all, which means fascism...

well, see confusion by OP. otherwise really not true.

As far as I know there is no intention to have Bluesky be proprietary in any way in the long run, just the philosophy is different and closer to P2P networks. For example migration is a big element of the design, unlike Mastodon. But at the moment it's still being built, hence why it looks much more proprietary for now.

That is the biggest reason I don't trust Signal. They implemented Whatsapp's encryption and while technically the encryption hasn't been broken, the way it works forces you to leave data on your device, which has been proven dangerous in practice for the kind of people it sets out to protect.

yep, PDAs became more widely attractive when phone functionality got added. or you have an iPod Touch.

Big Game by Samuel Jackson. I really loved that movie and people barely know it exists.

The big difference is that some networks just make good moderation and defending your eyes basically impossible. Not with the Fediverse, where it's designed to be the way you like as a person and as a community.

Portugal has the Uber law, all drivers have to be clearly indicated with a TVDE sticker and they need some basic qualification afaik. Also some taxi services double dip of course.

Monty Python reference

Tio ne estas tro grava problemo. se estas elekto inter ekzakte tiuj du, oni povas ech simple diri "la unua" kaj "la dua". Neniu vera problemo.

happy to help! maybe we should set up a Lemmy Community if none exists already

look up mp3 -- that didn't become public domain until pretty recently (I think 2017?)

not an uncommon thing really

13+ years on Reddit, never very active though... still modding some smaller communities.

Build a new internet on top of gemini? :D

soweli suwi / soweli kiwen xD

Mostly agree, except many people are fed-up with algorithms, so giving a manual option helps with that.
