Definitely agree, but some people remain ignorant of that part of history, so you gotta use fiction to let them know that art mimics reality and that supposed fictional dystopias are here if you look close enough, and will absolutely be here if we don't realize it soon

Cyberpunk corporate wars becoming reality.

You laugh but it just enables private militaries aka private police

I remember over a decade ago when I was upset I couldn't get photoshop working on my installation of Ubuntu 8.04 hardy heron. I remember when I couldn't play the games my friends were playing on Ubuntu and had to switch over to windows. I remember there was just audacity for audio editing on Linux and gimp for photo editing.

Now I have krita which is better than the photoshop I cut my teeth on (6 beta, 7, 8, and then up to like cs3). Audour which is so much better than cool edit pro 3.0 and audition. I can play my games, the best dev tools are on Linux, and nearly everything is open source.

Just a small reminder that Linux is absolutely thriving right now. It's so cool to see! Gimp has always been there and it is still getting better and better!

Now if valve would just hurry up and start making phones!

It's best not to humanize corporations, especially as the arbiters of morality and ethics. It's simply a calculated risk on Apples part. I don't mean to be a negative Nancy and all "nothing good happens" it's just we can't keep letting corporations get away with being brands you can "trust" when we have all the evidence necessary to assume they are not trustworthy, just profit-seeking.

I did not have as many times as I wanted. I had one chance per question, no re takes. What's fucking hilarious is my reference was more important than the fucking screener. I got fired by a company for budget concerns supposedly but not on bad terms and this company contracts with them and apparently the hiring manager called my former engineering manager and I got a good word so to the top I went. Fucking hate the stain of AI.

HireVue is a thing. I just took one being a software engineer interviewing

I'd put that as a feature request honestly, they'll probably add that in at some point

I'm just doing a bit of research (I'm also not the guy you were replying to :p), but I found the developer is really just one person seemingly (the only registered person I could find for the company representing Revolt [based in the UK]) and that is Pawel Makles. He's also listed as the data controller of all of your data https://revolt.chat/legal/privacy

My concern at first glance is this guy is only 21 years old (born 2003). I don't think the dev seems too shady from this quick look, but being only 21 with a bunch of private data doesn't seem too stable imo.

People on Lemmy.... refusing to speak up?? :P

I'm an anarchist and most anarchists I know of are not the silent type :D

I've been using mastodon for nearly a decade now. The major thing I think is missing from ActivityPub is a decentralized/federated way of doing auth. The ideal for me in ActivityPub is having a profile/DID service provider that you then can attach to services. This would theoretically be like having just a federated identity (or however many identities you want) that you can then go to a lemmy instance or mastodon instance etc and "log in with federated ID" like log in with Google but not dependent on a corporation.

Auth and identity in general is definitely the biggest hurdle with ActivityPub. Right now it's a bunch of distinct and non-tied profiles, which isn't necessarily bad, but many people would like an easier way of doing this. Instead of saying "which lemmy do I want to join" it's just "which identity service do I want?" and then go to and use any mastodon or lemmy or Pixelfed service with that single account. There's many ways to do this, but it's definitely possible (in theory, right now there isn't a spec for this afaik, we just have DIDs and those are very very very young specs.

I'm just saying, because someone is a scientist absolutely does not absolve them of human fallibility. I just don't like the take of "because scientist, therefore smart or wise" and that's not true, they're just (hopefully) educated and credible in their one specific field and nothing else. I wouldn't blindly trust a scientist's choice of social network. It makes no sense. I'd instead trust their education on their specific field.

Look at Linux's popularity over the years decades. I've used it since I was 10 years old twenty years ago. It is absolutely climbing. FOSS hasn't even peaked yet lol

Never meet your heroes. If a scientist is human, they're as fallible as any other. Just like some teachers aren't there because they're passionate. Some legitimately are bad if you ever had parent teacher conferences. Not passion nor intelligence saves you from making poor choices

Some games are not meant to be power fantasies tho, and that is absolutely okay

Yeah, on immutable distros, you can't just "delete system32" (rm -rf /* in Linux parlance), it is read-only (changes on restart with updates applied)

Not his call, as we can see now

My friend in high school had every palm pre, those things were awesome

This is probably targeting a adult content creators, aka trying to get a finger in onlyfans' pie

Leftists and ultra right wing were starting to get banned on Reddit long ago and federation and internet archtiecture and infrastructure is made by generally leftists and libertarian types. Gab is fediverse software. Lemmy.ml and hexbear are ex chapotraphouse folks. So yeah, lots of leftists and libertarian types are around these niche and relatively new (I started using the fediverse nearly 10 years ago lol). Surprise pikachu face when normal people stop using reddit and twitter and see leftists having discussions out in the open without recourse since they were shielded from them by corporations, but it shouldn't be that surprising honestly

Not big on them saying they can take from people who may be your fans for you lol

They'll "hunt" em down for me! Love to know:)
