@IllNess @Grass My X230 is now more than 10 years old. At some point in time I will need to replace it. Then a Framework device would be the best choice - but only when they improve the keyboard or there are third party keyboards that better match my needs.

@IllNess @schizoidman I’m looking forward to alternate keyboards. When I tested a Framework device, I had the impression that the keyboard had been a linear one. I made the experience, that I need a tactile keyboard.

@cypherpunks I’ve got the feeling as if the author doesn’t know about the existence of relay servers. With them, also a single user instance works really fine, I think.

@Powderhorn In our company, we have theoretically had a “one day at home per week” rule for several months now. In practice, people usually work about 3 days a week at home. This is partly due to the fact that there is a works council agreement for some of my colleagues that is binding and can’t be overruled by management (thanks for German labor law!).

@interdimensionalmeme There are different opinions about this. And luckily people can chose networks according to their specific opinions.

@Microw @dumbass No. He wouldn’t be happy with ActivityPub as well. He imagines a social network where no one can perform any moderation. He favours Nostr for exactly that reason. Bluesky has got moderation (just like the Fediverse) - which he dislikes.

@Hirom With “offsite” I mean either a different cloud provider or own hardware (if you hold your regular data at some cloud provider, like in this case).

@Moonrise2473 Regardless of one thinks about “cloud” solutions, this is a good example, why you always should have an offsite backup.

@TehPers @Kichae It doesn’t matter where a project is hosted, it matters which group you are targeting and where you personally are located. So even if you would host in Russia, you won’t be safe from prosecution, when you live for example in the US.

@Mysteriarch I deeply hope that there will be some connection to Matrix in the future.

@aberrate_junior_beatnik @penquin I found a nice page with statistics about the different messengers: engage.sinch.com/blog/most-pop…

It seems that only in the US more people are using iMessage than WhatsApp.

@Zerush @master5o1 Speed is not a problem. Acceleration is.

@leraje @muntedcrocodile The architecture of their protocol is highly incompatible with the way ActivityPub works.

With their protocol you have got the PDS (Personal Data Storage) that stores your data. Your handle is a hostname, but normally it will not be the hostname of your PDS. In fact you can use any hostname that you have control of. Your account itself is described via the DID that will never change - and that doesn’t contain a hostname. This means that you can move between different PDS without people noticing it at all.

In ActivityPub the data storage is on the same host like your handle and your account’s URL will always point to the host where your data is located. Moving your account is by far not as smooth and highly depends on the system that you are on.

@FiskFisk33 @remotelove Yeah, I find it rather interesting, that DMC was able to built a car that had none of the issues more than 40 years ago - which means that it is a doable task. So Tesla simply ignored it.

@heavyboots No, I don’t speak about any front end tool. There are API endpoints, relay servers and so on. These all can easily be used to receive a lot of data.

@downpunxx @fin Well, it is possible without any problem, to create a “fire hose” out of Fediverse data as well. So when someone wanted to analyze your posts, then this could be done easily with the Fediverse as well.

@erre @fin You can create custom feeds that are based on your desired content. There are external services for that.

@hedge Will be interesting to see, if there will be other servers, so that it really will be decentralized.

@throws_lemy Hyperloop is a solution for a non existing problem. There are already fast landline based systems. You can go really fast on rails (see Japan) or you can use a maglev.

@zepfhyr Elon is a person that is very susceptible for conspiracies that fit his world view and he propagates it loudly. Peter Thiel always stays in the background and acts from there.
