Very happy I got a PocketBook instead of the store locked alternatives

“to publish customers”
To benefit their company, they don’t think about punishing the customers for a single second when they make those decisions.

Linux users: Gaming on Linux is great, with Proton we don’t even care if a game isn’t developed for Linux specifically!
Also Linux users: You’re not developing a Linux version, I don’t give a crap about your game.

Lemm.ee/instances
But there’s this website that also tells you if other instances are defederated from yours: defed.xyz
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 1 week ago:
That’s the thing though, it’s the luck of the draw and you might be unlucky and sign up to a bad instance and then it’s too late, first impression has been made and the user just goes back to Reddit.
- Comment on Onboarding experience needs to be simpler for mass adoption 1 week ago:
Your instance is defederated from four other instances, so yeah it has an influence.

The difference is that the email provider you chose won’t make it so you can’t send an email to your friends because your providers don’t talk to one another.
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 1 week ago:
I said it before and I’ll say it again, Lemmy’s (and Mastodon’s) issue is that the users experience is influenced by the defederation.
The server side needs to be a decentralized database stored on a bunch of servers with all content available from one website with an API so people can develop apps for it, but otherwise the decentralization should have zero impact on what content the users have access to. In other words, do like Reddit but instead of having a ton of servers owned by AWS hosting everything, have those servers be owned by anyone who wants to host part of the database.
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 1 week ago:
Having to choose a server and it influencing what content you can see if the biggest UX issue, not the availability of apps.

- Comment on "How decentralized is Bluesky really?" by Christine Lemmer-Webber 2 weeks ago:
It could be done without having to clone all data though. Reddit is hosted by AWS and their data is distributed on multiple servers, so replace AWS by a bunch of people like you and me providing disk space for the data and tada, you can decentralized the database and just give people access to interacting with it directly (through code) or via various front-ends that people would create.
From a user perspective the front-end they use would be like Reddit before the API bullshit, it’s just them using an app or a website to make things look good, but they have access to everything that’s in the database and they’re using the same credentials no matter which front-end they use.
The difference with Reddit is that since the hosts are just that, hosts to the data, they don’t have admin power over users. They can filter the data that’s hosted on their servers (like admins need to do now) but that content might be hosted by another server instead and they can’t ban a user from the website itself since they don’t control it (hence the crypto analogy, you can run a node, but it’s just you adding one more server to the bunch, you don’t have any real power over what’s happening).
- Comment on "How decentralized is Bluesky really?" by Christine Lemmer-Webber 2 weeks ago:
And Mastodon is decentralized in a way that makes it so people don’t want to join the platform, so… To BlueSky we go!
If things were decentralized in similar way to crypto it would be way better for user adoption. The server side stuff is decentralized separately from the stuff users interacts with, so users can use a bunch of different websites to interact with the server side stuff, but they’re always using the same credentials no matter the website they use and no matter the website they can interact with everything that ever happened on the servers, no one has the power to prevent users from seeing some of the transactions that happened (no admins) because the website they use are just a front used to simplify interaction with the servers.

Didn’t know it was mandatory for me to travel to Punta Cana twice a year, I haven’t done my mandatory air travel in… 33 years! Oh shit! What about the majority of the world’s population that never took a plane, what are they gonna do? 😱
- Comment on ‘Net zero hero’ myth unfairly shifts burden of solving climate crisis on to individuals, study finds 4 weeks ago:
Thing is these corporations don’t emit in a vacuum, they emit to fill demand for their products, demand that comes from people.
If people stop traveling all over the world and ordering shit to be delivered the next day they won’t keep the planes flying for no reason, but that’s something that’s 100% in regular people’s hands. Boeing can use more efficient engines, it’s still not sustainable to use them, but they won’t stop using them if there’s demand.

They vote against CEOs that aren’t working to prevent climate change. Not all stock market investments make the climate crisis worse.
Fuck your disinformation.

“Got rich”
The profits are going in a fund that is kept for later on, it doesn’t affect people’s current finances. The only idiots here are all the countries that didn’t nationalize their natural resources to do the same.
