  Limitations of gecko. They’ve covered their reasons before grapheneos.org/usage#web-browsing

  I wish vanadium was available independently of Graphene

  seems to me that one way federation is the right answer/solution. Let fediverse users retreive threads content, but dont serve up fediverse content to help meta keep threads users locked in.

  Wish I could upvote your comment more than once. Thank you for the injection of clarity.

  All the proposed services/technologies would benefit the wider consumer base and the user but switching is too big an ask for many people. We need to encourage people into using “as well as” the global defaults. That will build the network effects that lower the cost of fully switching

  An easier and bigger immediate impact would come from people replacing Chrome and google search with respectful alternatives, and/or replacing gmail or outlook with private services like proton or tuta.
  Starve the surveillance machines a little bit.

  “super stable, backward compatible system without “AI”” Sounds like Linuxlinux 😁

  Not being able to run ai spyware 11 sounds like a big entry in the plus column to me 😅

  Well that sucks. I assumed the ram, ssds, hdds could be recycled into useful forms.

  Can we all buy cheap hardware when the bubble bursts and the billionaires decide not to pay the electricity bills for these ridiculous datacentres?

  Sweden have been leading the way in extracting screens and digital services from schools. Worth reading this: afterbabel.com/…/sweden-went-all-in-on-screens-in…

  A fair response. Just couldn’t see anything except US references when I looked at the site.

  Love the princess bride reference. Thank you for acting on behalf of those of us with less technical skills.

  More technical than I can properly follow, but it reminded me of the tarpits I read about a year ago. arstechnica.com/…/ai-haters-build-tarpits-to-trap…

  Is that more usable?

  your Industrial Workers of the World only seems to exist in the USA; a disproportionately problematic but still relatively small part of the world.

  Thanks for the kind reply.

  I agree. New user introduction is very poor. Took me ages just to choose an instance - and that was in no small part because I’m here not only to escape the enshittified chokepoint capitalism of american big tech, but also because I’m utterly sick of the domination of US centric points of view and censorship. Even though i know communities are not instance locked, I wanted an instance that is not likely to be managed in the same way. Time will tell if I chose well or poorly
