  • Remember kids, piracy and shoplifting are your friends. Reason I say shoplifting is this will be used to block you from paying for stuff online, just look at how google pay is blocked on non google approved spyware Roms

  • I feel the same doomerism that it just won't be legally possible to own your servers, and it will be that only corpos are trusted by the big governments to operate platforms. I feel like we are in a battle right now and they won't win in the end. I also think it's helpful to watch the various big platforms implode recently, it signals to congress that maybe we can do a better job than facebook. I also feel decentralization is key honestly, if I host my instance in some place that does not really care about these anti encryption laws there is not a ton another nation can do about it, and if it's decentralized it becomes even harder

  • Its cause mastodon is more dominate player in the fediverse, pretty much all instances run mastodon.

  • My main concern is propriety extensions being embraces and meta breaking things like content warnings. In general imagine you pretty much needing meta services in order to get basic functionality and you seeing the effects of meta regardless of your choice to federate with them

  • Meta is most likely planning on adding propriety extensions to the fediverse kinda like how android is Foss but pretty much alls apps depend on Google

  • I'm not gonna say lemmy couldn't try of add federated delete functions but I feel ultimately federation comes with risk, I dont like the fact lemmy is ran by tankies, I really wish KBin had apps but I feel like this could be an issue no matter what

  • My issue with this is that it feels like kinda an issue with federated software

  • While its EEE is it decenteralized?

  • I might recommend those too, the reason I was looking for Calckey specifically is it has many of the features bsky has, like custom feeds vis antennas and such. Calckey also seems to have a less clunky UI and quote posting

  • I have had an idea for doing this for a few years now, the only issue video storage is costly

  • That was surprising, maybe not since I know Microsoft makes a Linux distro for servers but I guess I was expecting it to be like how they Xbox runs NT

  • Wait so every ford has some stripped down version of windows with a custom UI????

  • I feel like auto makers should just hire sampsung or some known device maker to create an android based infotainment system. Like it would feel hella more fluid

  • how many though honestly? also how long does that last until thoose instance dry up. It's all fun and games until Matt Walsh finds LGBT.social and exposes them for being "groomers"

  • yeah lack of mature apps is real, it's a big issue on android. on iOS at least they have that paid client ivory which is pretty good

  • Is it really mastodon if no instance federates with them

  • And if you make enough spelling errors, your post essentially encrypts itself! :D

    *dies from insults

  • Yeah but most non tech people don't know what that or end to end encryption is cause schools didnt teach this stuff. and likely never will without causing end to end encryption to get banned

  • One thing I hate is while I dont trsut metas encryotion, it isnt even a default which at this point in American history is just irresonabile and reckless. It sucks we can't teach about open source in schools.

  • I never did, I did manage to fix my issue with steam launching but this issue is still there.
