We ought to improve as humanity so we can deserve Gabe.

Admittedly no idea, given how fascist pretty much everyone is turning these days. If the world was 30% less crazy, Switzerland would be pretty much the best option; nowadays, things are strung so that they just get dropped to the same basket as pretty much the entire rest of the EU.

I’ve always thought that “for humanity” projects should not be restricted by the whims of a self-centered legislation focus, and instead should be able to be put under some sort of “international waters” or “citizen of the world” jurisdiction-esque. Now if Session qualifies for that, I dunno, but it’s definitively a thing that should exist.

You federate with Threads

Nice try, fed.

In what regards what normies would use of the featureset, they are identical tho - pretty much everything is identical these days. Log in, go to your timeline / flood / jeep / whatever, click “post new”, copy-paste a meme, hit toot / blarg / weep / whatever. There. Done.

99% of people use the exact same 1% of the features of a service.

Though maybe that future needs to be delayed, because the Fediverse needs to lose its “yeah our app can do that thing you want, just edit a few variables in the source code”-style github energy.

Self-defeating: that “github energy” is not going to get lost if first not enough people use the Fediverse that having to make that kind of change at the source level becomes a hindrance.

Switzerland? Didn’t they push Protonmail to collaborate with big corpo, anti-environmentalism, and persecution of activists?

Nice try, fed.

Finally, an excuse to buy remote.

But yeah, centralization should happen.

Fam, we are here precisely because we don’t want centralization.

If you want that, Reddit and Facebook and BS are that way.

Not only that, he’s likely using the whole “I’m Finnish” thing as an excuse. According to Wikipedia at least, he’s now an American citizen living in -of all places, Silicon Valley.

Oh yeah totally. But while one could argue we are owed security, we are not owed updates. (And when we do, they’re offered to us via “buy another phone”, such is Capitalism).

If the Fediverse wants to attract more people, then it needs to start expanding into what those other people actually want.

I’m okay with more people, but not those people. We are here in the Fediverse for some degree of quality, of which furries explaining the Linux kernel is one example of kind.

FLACs

on a phone

in SD card

¿??? it’s not like you’re going to be able to autism at a -0.0002dB disparity on the trumpets channel with those audio chips, why not just store the files there as opus or MP3 for ~6x more capacity? (not to mention faster overall reads)

After all of that papyrus, what do you make that Israel is not being sanctioned like this? They do, after all, carry out operations such as esionage on smartphones internationally.

The Linux Foundation is based in the US and have to bide by those sanctions.

I think the fact to deal with and fix is this one, and not the fact that a contributor from Linux can come from anywhere. Ratattioulle life lessons, people!

Security is not a state but a scale, and is gauged against everything else.

From the perspective of a privacy / security zealot, a smartphone is SOL as soon as they lave the factory, as not only not even OTA updates keep them safe (and you can argue that with some manufacturers such as Samsung, OTA does is the primary risk vector!) but they can eg.: ship with unfixable vulns at the hardware level that would lead to ditch the whole thing anyway.

So long as there isn’t something like a state-funded program for citizens to renew their phones every ~2 years for fully open ones, I’d not worry much. After all, the other option would be not using a phone because current ones are a PITA and just as vulnerable from the other end.

I can’t see any of the graphs. The show as a black box.

This despite disabling Canvas Blocker on the page for testing. According to my briwser, loading the resources from “cdn.jsdelivr.net” is blocked due to a CORS failure.

Aren there by any chance image dumps of the charts in any normal graphics image format? Or even jpeg-xl, for variety.

No one says you have to upgrade your phone OS to the latest Android. You can just keep using the Android (and/or Custom ROM) that works.

People only now notice an icon that has been there since at least Firefox 112

Media literacy is at an all-time low!

I’m not sure if there’s a solution here, but I’d like to urge people to avoid lemmy.ml hosted communities in favor of communities on more reasonable instances.

It depends on what exactly do you consider the problem to be, but my understanding is that solutions to the more general problem of “what server a community is in” are already in the works (multicommunities and stuff).

As for a more local kind of change… Be the change you want to see. Start up, and maintain, those alt communities that would serve as counterweights to the ones that are in .ml. Also, understand why they are in .ml in the first place yet still manage to function.
