- Comment on WhatsApp will become interoperable with other messaging apps thanks to the DMA’s crackdown on Big Tech. 7 hours ago:
Yeah I agree, I’m just hoping they won’t drag it out too much.
- Comment on WhatsApp will become interoperable with other messaging apps thanks to the DMA’s crackdown on Big Tech. 1 day ago:
Should be open to every chat app that adopts a certain protocol, so it’s odd that it’s only those two. Maybe they’re chosen because nobody uses them, and it makes it a good test.
- Comment on How My 6-Year Old Almost Became a Copyright Pirate Overnight 1 day ago:
Despite protests, whining, and even a few tears, I managed to convince my son that just as we must respect other children’s “toys” at school, we also must respect the “rights” of IP owners by not taking or using what belongs to others. Fortunately, Google’s platform includes a filter that prevents generating content involving well-known characters or protected IP. And, with that safeguard in place, we were able to return to story time, and all sleep a little better that night.
This paragraph made me irrationally angry, like, what the fuck.
Genuinely at a loss for words.

Now elemt calling is all integrated like on discord, if your homeserver supports it. Also available on other clients but I don’t quite remember which ones.

The state media isn’t controlled be the state, they’re just as independent as the corporate media. The media atmosphere is a valid reason to leave, but don’t say you’re “heavily targeted by the state”

- Comment on Jack Dorsey Releases Vine Reboot Where AI Content Is Banned 3 weeks ago:
It is actually decentralised as far as I can tell, although I would like to point out that bluesky is also decentralised, while bsky.app has dominant market share, nothing stops anyone from hosting their own, completely independent, instance. Some have already done so.

It is on nostr, I don’t like the protocol very much but it is decentralised
- Comment on Would you like to playtest a new indie game? Just completed first playable version of my psychological horror/moral choice simulation. 3 weeks ago:
If you want to make a review, I could recommend straftat, it’s a pretty simple game, but there’s enough interesting that I think it’d make for an interesting review!

It’s always funny to me that blue means left to americans.

- Comment on Promised myself I will support them after they go stable. They kept their promise and so did I 4 weeks ago:
As far as I can tell the worst thing they did was call their source available license open source, which isn’t even that bad.
- Comment on Austrian Ministry Kicks Out Microsoft in Favor of Nextcloud 5 weeks ago:
They worked with an austrian cloud company that “worked alongside Nextcloud’s team to ensure the platform met the ministry’s legal, technical, and organizational requirements.”
They only have like 1.2k employees anyways so it’s not a crazy amount.

- Comment on Zorin OS Breaks Download Record as Windows 10 Users Seek Alternatives 5 weeks ago:
I’ve heard of it before, it’s basically just mint if they charged for an easy theme applier, and had better marketing material. They also have a nice wine client that prompts you to use the native version of an app if it’s in the app store.
Honestly pretty good distro, I’ve used it before.

- Comment on Over 47% of Stop Killing Games Signatures Have Already Been Verified 5 weeks ago:
Frankly if people are petitioning the government en masse to allow babies to smoke, I think the government should at least seriously consider it. Democracy isn’t just for when Ideas are good.
- Comment on How AI and Wikipedia have sent vulnerable languages into a doom spiral 5 weeks ago:
AI translations become so good that there’s no need for language-specific content any more. If that ever happens.
Even then the information on a topic can be very different depending on the language. As an example, the history of Canada is very different depending on whether or not you went to a francophone school.
- Comment on Futo updates their website, removing logos, clarifying micro grants 5 weeks ago:
fud, it’s “shareware” in the sense that there’s a dismissable popup that asks you to pretty please pay 100$, but it’s AGPLv3 and no features are locked behind the paywall.
- Comment on Futo updates their website, removing logos, clarifying micro grants 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, the keyboard is source available, that’s good enough for me.
- Comment on Futo updates their website, removing logos, clarifying micro grants 5 weeks ago:
They actually reliscenced from mit (or some permissive liscence) to AGPLv3 right before getting “taken over” by FUTO (futo now pays the immich devs to work full time on the project)
