Where do they say anything like that? I've been following them very closely for years and they've always been super transparent that there isn't one solution. They also do a lot of work to prevent trash from getting to the ocean in the first place.

Thanks! I'll look them up and give them a shot.

Anything you'd recommend in particular?

Interesting! Anything you'd recommend?

I agree. But also add in the movie industry that's been complete trash for a while now. Not to mention books. I'm not sure if we'll ever see another Harry Potter level book again, at least in our lifetimes.

My take is we've already left the golden ages of movies, music, and books and probably won't get another for an extremely long time.

Video games are going through the same downfall which streaming services brought. Physical media left the movie scene as a standard while ago, but video games took longer. Now it's going to be all streaming and subscriptions where you can never own anything.

Once that happens, enshittification will peak, companies won't be incentivized to make the games good anymore, standards tank, and people will forget how good things once were.

Is this from something?

Obama won before and he was part black. Why would that be a problem now?

Sounds like you want PipeWire - not related to a specific distro.

Yep, I got a post deleted by a mod here who also is a mod on Reddit. I was criticizing Proton, but they removed it for "trolling". I messaged them explaining it was not trolling and asked politely for an explanation, but got no response.

Pretty sad and ironic that Proton needs to censor criticism like this.

I just want that popup tooltip thing to stop blocking the most important part of the UI when I delete a message in Proton Mail... That's something obvious and should take 15 minutes to half an hour of a decent dev's time.

I'm really appalled by how bad Proton's project management is.

Prioritize buying things with no Internet connection.

OH SHIT... which one was Brazinni again?

distributed social web

...ActivityPub?

So if it's not a bean, what is it? It's not the fruit, so is it the seed?

That being said, I can't trust MKBHD is not hallucinating either.

Doesn't Fediverse mean "these applications can federate with each other"? How would you federate with Lemmy without ActivityPub?

If there are multiple protocols, then that defeats the entire purpose of a protocol. If Matrix and ActivityPub are in the Fediverse, then Facebook and Twitter should be, too.

Facebook can't talk with Twitter, so they aren't federated with each other. Same goes for ActivityPub and Matrix. Fediverse doesn't mean "has a federated protocol". It means "these applications are federated with each other" (from what I understand).

The Fediverse uses the ActivityPub protocol. This allows everything in it to communicate with each other. Lemmy can't communicate with Matrix since Matrix is a different protocol.

IMO he can contribute all he wants. His PRs will still have to go through someone else (i.e. the new maintainer / lead dev). I don't care if he adds new code. That's much appreciated.

Toxicity is more of an issue if you're the maintainer since you have control over the project.

I'm very close to pulling the trigger on Graphene. One question though - usually when I try open source / secure alternatives to some popular software the UI is janky and super old looking.

Is Graphene like this with their custom apps / UI stuff? Will I notice? Or is it identical to the stock OS UI design?

They claimed that authoritarian governments do not do this since they have no reason.

Sure, but what the person I replied to is claiming is that e.g. North Korea doesn't lie to its people about reasons it does things, which is, of course, bullshit.

One thing I really hate is when people use that clap emoji between every word to try to solidify what they're saying.

Doing that, or saying "full stop", etc. doesn't make me trust what you're saying more. Explain why what you're saying is correct. Use words, logic, and sources.

LOL, this is a joke right? Authoritarian countries don't lie about reasons for doing things? LMAO

For Google, nothing is too dumb! Not even joking. They're absolute trash nowadays at almost everything they do, even for normal / startup standards.

Hopefully they're planning on using that to integrate with the Fediverse.

Why not? I thought it had very good security. It's E2E encrypted and the government of France uses it.

Are they? I see ones like

Small government

This is sarcastic, but it's as much of a joke as Stephen Colbert - it's touching on something pretty real. Not sure what's wrong with pointing out hypocrisy.

annoying != complicated

Did someone just slap this together by copying and pasting an asterisk three times? I know we're an open source, nerdy community but could we hire a graphic designer?

Blech

This article is about water found on mars... Did you reply to the wrong post? I don't see anything about colonization.

I have both models and they're fantastic. Perfect for second hand, too, since you can modularly upgrade and maintain them.

No need to be tech savvy at all. It's almost as easy as Legos.

I miss my Nexus One.

What's better about Summit?

It's still dumb as hell. It's a moving target, with one antibiotic being replaced by another. It's impossible for any scientific study to show something doesn't cause super bugs since it would need to test against every single virus. They can only show that they DO cause super bugs against a specific one.

Plus, again, completely unnecessary in the first place. We need to stop fucking around with things like antibiotics in soaps, new chemicals on nonstick cookware, new types of plastics in our food containers, etc.

I view Gitea as the real alternative to GitHub. I was very big on GitLab for a long time, and think any competition is good, but I'd really like it if more people could seriously invest in Gitea.

They're also working on ActivityPub support: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/18240

The main thing keeping my partner from leaving Big Tech services is that Proton Calendar and other basic functionality sucks balls. The pricing plan is great but for the love of God, fix the basics and stop with all the new nonsense like AI and crypto.
