Somewhat agree. IPFS makes sense to use as a caching layer and certainly it could help reduce operational costs of a Mastodon instance, but it's too slow to be the main server and it is impractical for mobile clients.
What I'd like to see is the possibility to send multiple URIs when storing/sending information about attachments. This one leave to the client to figure out whether to use a HTTP link or IPFS, or magnet links, or embedded data...
The US government wants to make sure only they can use DataFarming platforms to spy on and influence US citizens. They're following the example set by the CCP, which has been blocking foreign-owned platforms for years, for similar reasons.
The GDPR is as toothless as it gets. Tracking did not stop because of it, it just led to every site pushing even more dark patterns to trick people into giving consent.
If the US does push for something like DMA against Apple and Google, then I'll start believing it.
@maker Would you be interested in a Lemmy instance as well? I registered handmade.cool some months ago and wanted to make a Lemmy instance focused on artisans.
@manualdousuario is Element so difficult to use compared to Signal? I got both my aging parents to use Element, and aside from issues on my server UX is okay. The onboarding needs some handholding, but I guess that it's just a matter of patience and setting the right expectations.
Crazy idea of the day: how could I integrate https://cupid.careers into the Fediverse?
If you don't know, it's a "OkCupid for Jobs" site that I did a couple of years ago. People answer questions and the system tries to find other people who are the most aligned with your professional values and the companies.
@evan , how would one go about it? Make an account that publishes the questions as polls, and internally collect the responses?
In this one, #Gentoo says no to #AI, and Linus Torvalds finds it "hilarious", we also have a flaw in #Flatpak, plus #Cosmic showing off its theming capabilities, at least for GTK apps, plus some good news for Linux gaming!
