I do not like defederation. Users can block instances on their own. Admins should only defederate from illegal instances. For other instances, users can block them if they want. They can also unblock them later. I think defederation is not good. That is why I chose .zip. People on Lemmy should worry about this. The Fediverse is about connecting all instances. But some instances break this connection.

But unlike social media you can follow different communities or make your own here is an example for “Technology” communities;

• [email protected] (81.4K sub; 17.1K users/mo): Centrist / Center-left
• [email protected] (42.3K sub; 3.07K users/mo): Progressive
• [email protected] (41.9K sub; 3.03K users/mo): Left-leaning
• [email protected] (24.2K sub; 1.53K users/mo): Marxist / Anti-capitalist
• [email protected] (6.15K sub; 3.41K users/mo): Neutral
• [email protected] (2.44K sub; 101 users/mo): Neutral
• [email protected] (2.26K sub; 2.15K users/mo): Neutral
• [email protected] (1.37K sub; 273 users/mo): Marxist-Leninist / Far-left
• [email protected] (337 sub; 26 users/mo): Neutral

Why don’t Reddit ban them? On Lemmy even vote manipulation is a ban reason

Depands on how you define “Argue”

No bro LLMs are not that smart, maybe some low IQ Reddit/TikTok people can’t see the difference but We do

and if that instance start spamming I’ll ban them in 30 seconds, You should learn more about Fediverse

What is Clawdbot farm?

I’m not talking about “now”; I’m talking about the future. Enshittification is inevitable in proprietary software.

Free-software licenses provide risk mitigation against different legal threats or behaviors that are seen as potentially harmful by developers:

They added AI kill-switch (will come in v148)

actually I’m using CoMaps (an OrganicMaps fork I switched because OrganicMaps had some bad decisions e.g:promoting KAYAK links)

I use Firefox bro 🦊

I guess too much because think like you have 1000 videos each video is ~500 mb (also you’ll need to store 144p, 240p, 360p, 480p, 720p versions) let’s say 1 GB storage for each video, total storage need: 1TB just for one channel it’s ok but there would be like 10k channel at least

1 TB * 10000 = 20 TB * 500 = 500 hard disk with 20 TB

let’s say each one is $350 total $175,000 (and this is hard disk I thing you’re not going to use hard disks)

(and this is just storage I don’t know about traffic costs)

This is very good idea but we’d need domains for that

I haven’t used Google Maps for four months. OpenStreetMap has been enough for me. I don’t need reviews, photos, or driving instructions. Also, the constant use of navigation apps is atrophying our mental mapping skills.

do they expect from me to throw my phone away becuase it’s old? hardware is working great >5 years but they limit the software and of course I will pass that limit

it’s not that hard to do if a company don’t accept/respect your choice then you shouldn’t accept them

edit: typo

this could be great for popular content

I use a custom ROM (idk if this is the right word). I don’t have Google Services or any Google apps. My previous banking app didn’t accept custom ROMs, so I just canceled that and switched to one that does accept them. Now my banking app works great and I have no problems on my phone.

Ecosia is OK, but if you use Vivaldi (I’m guessing it’s Chromium) you will give power to Google. If we want to fight Google, there are three main areas.

1 - The most important is search (fortunately they suck and it’s easy to change).

2 - The second most important is Chromium (there is only one alternative, Firefox - I don’t count Safari because it’s for Apple devices). Firefox has Manifest V2; if we lose this, we lose great power.

3 - The third most important is YouTube. I think this is the hardest one because maintaining a video-sharing platform is very expensive, and it’s not something that can live just with donations.

The updated F-Droid Basic is great, it’s modern and it

• UI rewritten from scratch with Kotlin compose
• improved search, also searching in descriptions and translations
• easier to discover new apps, also highlighting the most downloaded ones
• installation approval before downloading
• multiple updates/downloads at the same time
• notifying user of issues with apps (e.g. signing key changed)
• optional Material You color theme
• improved filtering of lists source

This was the real reason for me to ditch the whole Google

I may compromise privacy

but I’d die for FREEDOM
