  Good luck age-gating the local copies of Wikipedia for anyone who downloaded it.

  They don’t own your PC (yet)

  • MS pretty much owns the desktop PC space with Windows though, and even though there’s nothing stopping you from installing an alt OS on PC generally, Win11 not supporting anything older than Zen+ or Coffee Lake and flat-out refusing to run on anything older than Bulldozer or Nehalem even without support because everything before those arches lacks the POPCNT instruction, isn’t a good sign to say the least.

  And even your OS blocking non-Windows, non-Apple, and non-Android OSes from being legally available because only Windows, Apple, and Android can age-verify or some dystopian crap like that? (good luck with that happening)

  Lemme guess, the Fediverse is going to end up on that list too?

  Although similar to the Fediverse’s ActivityPub, ATProto is set up at least in theory to prevent that in that someone could set up their own ATProto PDS, plus third-party AppViews are a thing as well.

  ActivityPub still beats it in that it’s fully self-hostable and you basically own your Fediverse instance where ATProto still has to associated with Bsky somehow.

  lemmy.org has been down for a while now, even. I just set up a new account on lemmy.wtf because I assume it might not come back at this point.

• What's going on with lemmy.org?
