I read their Technology page which isn’t entirely word salad like the front page is. Based. No one company should control your social graph, I’m an advocate of data sovereignty as well on that note. Also, to corporations: Fuck your authority.
I actually switched to Endeavor recently. My buddy Eli, however, absolutely swears by Spiral Linux, a Debian-based distro with the same goals Ubuntu had before it became a corporate Snapcraft-forcing shithole
Okay, so I really do believe in the Fediverse. I’m working on a really big project in Kotlin that I have the intention of wiring up to AP later on.
Haven’t read it yet but this is facts
If you’re still using this account, I run my own. If you set up a domain and $5 Linode, just spin one up and follow the Ansible instructions. Setting up Lemmy was SHOCKINGLY easy for all the shit Lemmy is actually responsible for handling.
Federation allows for choice. Indeed, many AP implementations already add to the base AP stuff. Peertube already does this itself.
For this to really be a problem, the server software would need to be maintained by the same person running the instance, and they have to have the manpower already to either a) Build an implementation or b) Run a fork of existing software. Both take effort and quite frankly is juice that isn’t worth the squeeze to risk cutting yourself off from the network like that.
ActivityPub wasn’t built with the purpose of having a “killer app” in mind. That’s centralization logic. The point is for all apps to be able to talk to each other regardless of where on the network and maintaining the ability to do so seamelessly without the user having to think too much about it.
Mastodon should be able to talk to Lemmy. Lemmy should be able to talk to Pixelfed. Et cetera. I don’t believe XMPP had the same purpose, matter of fact I remember it just being a subpar IM protocol iirc, and I don’t see social media going by the wayside the way IM clients of the past did.
FreeBSD is being used by Netflix and others, I don’t use it because I’m not offended by virtual hugs, but it might appeal to those who really hate systemd these days. Linux started being commercialized in the 90’s, the same decade it came out, and the same decade Microsoft wrote the “Halloween docs.” Linux took root pretty damn quick in the grand scheme of things. It may never take the server market, but Linux has been kicking ass since a few years after it was announced.
That would be too easy for people with an ideological vendetta. In this case, leftists.
Doesnt convey over text bro
No, the implication is that they know everything about technology when in reality they know how to plug a phone into a wall and scroll.
My friend daily drives Chicago95
Just turned a few days ago. Welcome brother!
Oof. Sitting here drinking Crown and scrolling my instance.
They went too far left. I left the plantation and god forbid ActivityPub just be left as a sacred place.
Yeah, the first companies to support Linux clearly saw it had a shit ton of money. If it’s a good idea, the right people will pick it up, even if we’re dead by the time it happens.
25 here. Sick and fucking tired of people calling my gen “digital natives”
No, they re-publish the work of WHATWG in standards form, the vendors literally made a pact not to deal with them. Then sometime in the last decade they standardized EME, even after the technology activists told them fucking not to. Defective By Design said this shit for years, decades, and W3C ignored everyone. I have more reason not to trust Berners-Lee at this point than put any stock in his leadership skills.
The W3C has shown in the past that it can’t be trusted not to take bribes. See alse: EME
Ah yes, that explains the log4j fiasco
