Precisely. We have computers, phones, etc. And smarwatches. All of these change to DST automatically. It would be some (bigger) effort not to abide by it. And a painful one btw. "Imagine going to work 1 hour earlier" ;P
I wonder if it's somewhat related. But I started to see posts from blocked communities in both Home and All feeds. This seemed to me like a bug on Voyager client and I reported it there. I switched to Jerboa now, seems to work.
But I still wonder, maybe it's specific to client but also related to this, depends on how interaction with server is programmed...
Objection! Hehe... No, wait. Really, I see a problem...
If registration are closed, mods would be exclusively from outside. And, since reports are not federated, this communities would be prone to difficulties for moderation. Unless reports are correctly federated, I don't think this is a good idea. And, even if you were to open registrations only for mods, we would have only moved the inconvenience to this (who wants to have so many accounts, really?)
There's also the problem with centralization of domain names under you. I don't know you, and perhaps you're well intended.. So, it's fine for the most part, let's just assume that's okay. Now, what happens if you had an accident or decided to go live in a farm? Without domain name renewals, etc. all communities would be in trouble. There's centralization in the shape of a single point of failure.
I can't see this happening even if the domain names are cool.
And, leaving disadvantages aside. What's the point on this? Can you name any advantage?? I agree that it would be more ordered and I like that. But it's quite subjective, and hardly anything huge to really break the inertia or status quo of things as they're now...
Thanks for the intentions. Let's focus on some new ideas, they'll come...
I don't know this group but I am on a telegram group that shares movies produced in my country of origin. It's quite niche, I never saw any tracker that does the same. I doubt it for usenet but never looked into it. Anyway, my point is that some layman uploaders use whatever is at hand and not necessarily have much preparation or technically involved solutions...
In computer science, garbage in, garbage out (GIGO) is the concept that flawed, biased or poor quality ("garbage") information or input produces a result or output of similar ("garbage") quality. The adage points to the need to improve data quality in, for example, programming.
There was some research article applying this 70s computer science concept to LLMs. It was published in Nature and hit major news outlets. Basically they further trained GPT on its output for a couple generations, until the model degraded terribly. Sounded obvious to me, but seeing it happen on the www is painful nonetheless...
You just mentioned what really is available nowadays. If you could mention an example of a "web interest" that's not covered, perhaps someone could start it on the tildeverse...
Exactly my feeling when everyone was jumping into touch screens.
(I was able to type SMS in my pocket, using one hand, while walking. Sure, it took a 100 meters a sentence but it worked.)
Anyway, a smartphone comes with many other differences, mostly advantages. This is another leap of quality for gaming, watching movies, filling government forms on old websites, etc.
