Global namespace extremist. Defragment your communities!
Using some server hundreds of kilometers away to send something to the person standing in front of me does not make any sense.
What’s even more enraging is that phones used to be able to do that until the manufacturers decided to remove the ability and kept replacing it with ever changing inferior alternatives until people rather used whatsapp or dropbox.
High quality positive content
It took 3 hours and we already got to gatekeeping culture.
I use miscale 1 with gadgetbridge. Homeassistant has also autodiscivered it, but I’m hessitant to pair it with 2 different devices so no idea if it actually works.
Personally, I’m a big fan of leaving. When shooting, or barbed wires are imminent, just pack your family, some essentials and go have a long boring life somewhere else.
As long as you’re alive, you have options. And the majority of them are usually better than just giving up and dying, either by a civil war or under the occupation forces.
The only thing not clear is the timing. How close is the shit from the fan at any particular moment?
The goal of the hostile country is to cause chaos and conflict. It does not care if an insider or outsider does it.
The only way to win is not to play.
That’s one of the most dangerous myths about marxism and similar ideologies.
It wouldn’t work even if everybody had their best intentions in mind, and did their absolute best to contribute.
Everyone living together on a shared plot and exchanging goods & services instead of money.
Can’t imagine looking for an alcoholic shoemaker willing to exchange a pair of shoes for 10 liters of vodka.
You say negative income tax, I hear business subsidies.
Nerds don’t just want to teach people to swim. They want to teach them about hydrogen bonds and the mineral contents of the water, the processes of water treatment, and the technical requirements for a functional pool.
And I think that’s beautiful. There is nothing like watching someone explain something they’re passionate about.
The community has always been free to step in. How is the end of Mozilla corp going to help?
You know what awaits us at greater heights? The state sponsored APT groups and ransomware operators.
I just can’t see how cutting the funding for both chrome and firefox is going to make the web a better place.
People tried to bring more content through bridges. Mastodonians promptly started crying about how it literally puts peoples lifes in danger. Some still have #nobridge tags in their profiles to this day, thinking it matters somehow in an open network.
Meanwhile down on earth, you’ve just caused an entirely new class of derrivatives traded on sketchy and unregulated markets, increasing the risk of fraud to all, including small individual investors.
Wealth is finite
The size of the observable universe is ~93 billion light-years. So, you’re technically right, but…
Nothing? Im as pessimistic as it gets, but it has provided traction for at least 3 competing decentralized alternatives.
Tough question. I don’t think the descendants of european, asian and african settlers are going back home any time soon.
Sure, advertising your secret plans in public might not be the best idea, regardles of the medium.
From the technical standpoint, internet has never been more secure and private. The amount of plaintext shit that was literally flying over the air just a decade ago was terrifying.
What I like: The effort and persistence of the developers
What I dislike: The ActivityPub protocol.
