Oh, the single, shared built-in search function in mastodon, pixelfed, misskey, lemmy, friendica, peertube, diaspora, castopod, writefreely, &c?

Please, the fediverse is more than [platform you’re currently using].

It’s only a duopoly?! I’m genuinely curious who you see as the top two and what other bloated browsers don’t make your list.

halm,
@halm@leminal.space avatar

Right, so engines not browsers/brands. That makes sense 🙂 I guess Edge, Trident or WebKit don’t really figure into that scale?

LOL, fair point!

Chrome but crypto and homophobic CEO

😬 I’m just going to guess Brave?

BECOME BITCOIN BECOME LIGHTNING

LOL, not in a million years. Dumping this like the cryptocurrency infected garbage it is.

I mean, that quote is truer for any regular currency than it is for shitcoin. The only unique thing about cryptocurrency (and especially POW ones) is that it’s flushing the environment down the drain even quicker than bog standard hypercapitalism. And still you can’t use your fucking monopoly money to buy a bottled water.

“Sovereignty”, that big white whale of the dysfunctional far right?

halm,
@halm@leminal.space avatar

True. Tipi, Umbrel and CasaOS are savvy enough to do this. But do you really want to teach more cryptobros to slip their message under the threshold? I’m fine that they show their true goals front and centre, it’s like a note saying “hit me” taped to their backs.

It’s been a buzzword among the ultra-libertarian, anti-government, tinfoil hat wearing set for decades.

The title literally says “Sovereign computing”. Are you okay? I do recommend reading from the top down, for more information please re-read.

halm,
@halm@leminal.space avatar

Okay, sorry for the sarcasm. I think there is a certain overlap in the language used around general privacy principles and the more… out there, political anti-society movements.

Sometimes it’s innocent and random but when I see somebody putting cryptocurrency up front in their project and using “sovereign computing” as a tagline, my internal crackpot detector goes nuts. I’m fairly sure that deep down these people would want to see the world burn to stay warm toward the end.

There’s another reason I don’t share “It’s FOSS” links anywhere: this should have been a github issue but it’s turned into a clickbaity headline. Every othe article coming out of “It’s FOSS” is either low effort, sensationalist, or both.

Funny how Bountysource deteriorated at the exact time cryptocurrency got involved.

I use the LibRedirect browser add-on to use Invidious on desktop and NewPipe on Android. Never use youtube.com, problem solved.

Poast owner was bragging about poisoning the results Cloutier of Bird.Makeup gets from their server, if you use that service we need an alternative lol. Currently I use my friend's small Nitter.

From looking at their posts they were able to get enough performance to start caching popular tweets, that doesn’t sound that expensive to me. Might get into hosting that soon but putting this out there in the hopes someone else does, I’m happy with my secluded option....

halm,
@halm@leminal.space avatar

Does Nitter still work for you? Because several instances officially closed when “Twitter blocked the last known way to access their network without a user account” (quoted from nitter.cz).

It just cited the wrong Neal Stephenson book, so not way off.

What can possibly go wrong?

halm,
@halm@leminal.space avatar

Yeah well, there are surveillance reasons you don’t want to rely on services based in the USA.

Microsoft: Trust us with all your work and private data.

Also Microsoft: Um, we mislaid the files for this historical project. They’re here somewhere, maybe.

halm,

Well, fuck. It was fun while it lasted.

It’s definitely true that Twitter consistently failed to raise the expected profit for stockholders, which is probably why they appreciated the wild overshot that Musk offered. I sort of appreciated that the company could stay so uncommercial for as long as it did, running only on hype.

Did Nazis use to “run rampant” on there before? Maybe not straight up, clear cut Nazis but there were some people who really dogwhistled in that direction going way back.

"We Need To Rewild The Internet"
An absolutely excellent read (and great analogy) by @mariafarrell and @robin Probably the best piece I've read all year.

I often struggle to think of a term for "appearing messy from a distance is often, on a human scale, healthy actually." Comparing the social web to an ecosystem is exactly it.

You’re doing what again?! Insert obligatory 15 standards XKCD (edited because you can’t link images directly?)

Jokes aside, tell us more!

I used to have an old laptop stuck in a corner just running Transmission. I called that Seed because that was its sole purpose. Its replacement is fully automated *arr and media server, making it both seed and vault, so I had to call it Spitsbergen (reference)

Oh, are you Narwish, Swodish or Dentist?
