I think it must be seen not in light of the monetary blow, but in light of the fact that the EU is pushing hard for these actors to change directions and to end some of their abusive behaviour.

Traffic fines are made to bankrupt drivers or to finance the state, but to encourage people to drive safely.

How do you do, fellow humans 🤖🛹

The Android keyboard always worked well for me, but I don't trust them one bit. So I changed my phone keyboard into something that is worse at guessing what I'm trying to say, but I'm somewhat confident I am not being surveilled through it.

I started using it a month or two ago, and ever since I have started making a billion typos when writing on mobile.

Also, I guess the demography of the communities you're in matters. I think quite a few of us over here are not native speakers. Sometimes I'll also write with my keyboard set to the wrong language by accident, "leasing to all mines" of freaky autocorrects.

Especially if they don't take themselves oversly seriously.

Be your goofy self, if people are turned off by that you would never be happy with them anyway.

Edit: That said, this logic only applies if you do it for yourselves because it's fun. If it's something you do as a dating strategy it is, indeed, doomed.

Anyone who could make this news break would be in a position to steal unfathomable amounts of money in broad daylight, and get away with it.

I think we should always suspect bad actors in cases like this, and investigate thoroughly. It's too easy of a scam with too much money to be made.

Maybe there is nobody to blame. But assuming so just seems incredibly naive to me considering the amount of bad actors and the ease of pulling a stunt like this.

Yeah. Money is not lost in finance markets, it is redistributed. Reading any of this as random and/or unintentional is beyond naive.

Nevertheless, I believe that detaining European journalists for simply showing up indicates that the regime is more nervous now than it has ever been.

I agree Trump is normalizing authoritarianism, but I'm not sure he has had much of an impact on Erdogan. Erdogan has been leaning into authoritarianism for ages now, but few have protested as the economy has been strong. Now that he has destroyed the economy as well and people are protesting, he has nothing except the authoritarian textbook to protect him.

I have no doubt we will!

While we still doesn't have all kinds of active niche communities over here, it is incredible how much the community has grown since I first came here. And that's not really all that long ago.

Thanks for joining us! :)

Yeah, it's a little ironic to say the least. I suspect the tech giants are more worried about titties than they are of literal fascism.

Ah, sorry, it's in the context of what Elena Rossini writes about the limitations of the mobile app.

As PeerTube draws content from independent servers, it's hard for them to comply with the content policies of Google and Apple. The PeerTube app you can find in the App Store or Google Play Store therefore only contains content from a very short list of whitelisted PeerTube instances, where Apple or Google have accepted content from these instances to be presented in their app ecosystems.

F-Droid doesn't have such limitations, and as a result the stuff you'll find in the F-Droid app is the same as you'll find in https://sepiasearch.org/ .

It's worth stressing that you can get around Google's totalitarian restrictions by installing PeerTube from F-droid.

If you're on Android, you should probably consider using F-droid whenever possible anyway. Personally I like Droid-ify, which is an F-droid client with a nice interface.

If you're on iPhone, you're out of luck. The EU might eventually come to the rescue of European users. American iPhone users will probably not be surprised to learn that they are shit out of luck.

I appreciate that he also takes time to focus on a positive message. Democracy, diversity, all that. Populist movements that celebrate diversity are just not that scary to me.

Thanks! Maybe I'm just dumb in my own unique way, but I find the practical implications of AT proto hard to wrap my head around. :)

Right. I guess that's similar with bridged users - you see them on bsky.app, even though they are actually located elsewhere.

What I struggle with is seeing the decentralization in practice, when the only place I can ever see AT proto in action is when Bluesky users are bridged to the fediverse. Bluesky has a shitload of users and there are a bunch of people jumping on the technology - why is there not so much as an understandable proof of concept out there?

On ActivityPub it's so easy to understand. "See this post? Well, here's the same post on some other domain, hosted by other people".

I don't understand how Bluesky can be this difficult to understand, yet apparently fulfil such a fundamental need.

Cool.

It's funny how one of the main criticisms of ActivityPub is that it's too difficult to implement, yet after all this attention the best the ATmosphere has managed to come up with is a toilet flushing repository. But I see the value of the portable identity. I think.

Okay, that's more interesting! Thanks!

Oh damn, you're right!

But sometimes on the fediverse there's a "copy link to post/comment on original instance", which I sometimes find to be useful. But this is already pretty great!

That's true - it would be useful to have a "copy direct link" option in the menu bar for each comment. @rimu@piefed.social
