Otome-chan, to fediverse
Otome-chan avatar

Stumbled upon someone who seemed completely opposed to the idea of federation and the fediverse. Like, if you are opposed to federation then why are you on here? They seemed to be pretty confused about what the fediverse is all about and likely joined due to misleading advertisements.

fruitywelsh,

Yeah, though hopefully this changes a little bit over time and federated become a little more standard.

fruitywelsh,

I noticed it myself too! Hopefully we can get a good way to search through the internet archive backup of reddit people are building soon, or at least get those posts pushed out through the fediverse so people can see them.

fruitywelsh,

I tried using it for research on what I would consider a novel problem (trying to map SELinux categories onto per file transparent encryption), but it would hallucinate quite a bit.

For script writing (i.e. make a python script that takes in some data and output it in a different format) it was pretty good, at a little back and forth, but usable code with good practices built into it for the most part.

fruitywelsh,

Matrix protocol via clients like Element

fruitywelsh,

There is a project to archive all Reddit before the API change.

YouTube Does This Everytime You Watch (but you don't realize it) (www.youtube.com)

Behind every simple action that we do everyday is very often something incredibly complex: countless systems and protocols and just tons of stuff that all works together to give you ungrateful folks the perception that everything is simple and seamless. Well.. once you dive in, it's not....

Pasting images in Flatpak applications, what permissions are needed?

I have installed a few chat applications through flatpak (teams with Edge and "Whatsapp for Linux"). In both cases I can't paste images or drag files. I can paste text and I can upload files through the GUI. I imagine this is likely due to a permission that can be set through Flatseal. Anybody can help?

fruitywelsh,

I can past images via ctl+v in webcord's default settings, but I can't right-click paste.

fruitywelsh,

I''l give it my best shot.

Moving from Web 2 (like Reddit, Facebook, etc) to Web 3 a big thing people are wanting to see is "user sovereignty". Essentially treating the online identity as a thing owned and controlled by the user instead of something that lent out by the platform.

Federated services like Lemmy, help mitigate the power a platform has over its users, but allowing for cooperation between different providers (lemmy.ml vs midwest.social for example) so that the user is less stuck to the platform they choose. That said, users identies and profiles are still owned by the platforms in this model, and moving would require making a new profile on another platform.

Confederal services would stand as another step away from web 2 sites, by separating the user management and authentication to another layer from the message relay layer. This would mean that a client would be able to pick and choose the services that it may use (like message storage, avatar hosting, reverse proxing, etc) but could also act in a peer to peer way too, messaging directly from one users app to another.

I have some more learning to do before I could tackle the "How can we build this?" section properally, but I am tracking it as: build a user-friendly layer for creating the distributed namespace onto of something in the ETH blockchain to create the sole truth auth mechanism, but use off-chain methods for the majority of the interactions.

fruitywelsh,

If it makes you feel better I think the question of "where that happens" isn't a a solved one really! Some examples of answers though are on the blockchain (essentially paying to be stored as part of the consensus mechanism's data), IPFS (either volunteer or personally hosted off of it, or through a paid service to ensure it's hosted somewhere), or stored locally by the user either manually, as part of a hardware token, or in browser cache.

fruitywelsh,

Good ol resume driven development. :)

fruitywelsh,

Personally, Dioxus for the front end. Integrate the matrix-rust-sdk and the Lemmy rust client library into it.

Host it off of IPFS, with a https gateway, and allow it to point to multiple backends. The simplest being picking a single instance and sticking to it, but potentially also in read-only load balancing (hit the lemmy api across multiple servers just for content) and writing as multi-user (write to servers based on availability of the server and connected user creds).

With the design goal being: Lowest capital, full support for web 3 social media.

After that MVP though, adding support for peertube would be a great addition, and really round out fediverse support. Again with the goal of reduced capital cost.

If you wanted to get really wild, support email, RSS, IPFS, bittorrent, peertube or Nostr from the client, and you can make an "everything app" using only open protocols and support for federated or p2p networks.

fruitywelsh,

No, no, you borrow against it, so that you don't lower your asset's value.

fruitywelsh,

organic, word of mouth, grassroots, community building

My friends and I share cool places we find with each other all the time.

fruitywelsh,

Sensational Advertising, and maybe just advertising in general. I would love to see what society would look like if people only used and got things because they wanted it, or because someone they talked to recommended they used it, instead of billions going to the most advance technologies and largest organizations in the world to manipulate people into buying more.

fruitywelsh,

Following, because I am interested in this as well. I am biased enough though to think that a cross positing bot between communities of shared interest makes sense to me.

fruitywelsh,

Mod culture is always odd to me. I kind of wish there was more community modderation, and less dictators for life running things.

fruitywelsh,

If it wasn’t partially propriety I’d probably think more about it, but till then it’s not a real option to me.

fruitywelsh,

Grappling hook for the win! From xontic, to overwatch to spider man games,just swinging around is a blast.

fruitywelsh,

My approach as well, it took me a long time to realize why I got weird looks saying I browsed reddit at work. My page was opensource,computer, tech, stuff with some other hobbies.My friends was just porn lol

fruitywelsh,

I personally don't use it, but I know it's popular. Besides for use in news ticker kind of systems(this was the last I used an RSS, it was super cool though tbh), how do people actually use them?

fruitywelsh,

Filtering is different than offer alts

fruitywelsh,

One major bot that is fediverse specific. A community syncing bot. So if two communities from different instances want to, they could have a bot that crossposts everything between each other and delete one deleted between each other. A more advanced feature to have is to have it only do certain tags, so for example !linux with a help/question and fedora tags could be auto posted to !fedora, and !linux_questions .

fruitywelsh,

Oh, what is that?

fruitywelsh,

Did you end up taking it anywhere from there?
