So it’s “You get off Google but not me! And keep subsidizing me!”?

It’s about 15% more understandable, but still, the same crap I expect by default from that kind of person.

Trusting humans (to any extent) is quite vastly different than trusting corporations, to be honest. But if that’s your jingle, you can always do the work with a bulk tagger / gallery assembler. No AI, nor environment killing, needed.

Organic died shortly ago (they’d been enshittifying for a while). We go with CoMaps nowadays.

The Proton CEO praised Trump and his control and choices regarding IT and antitrust some months ago. People said it was a “one-off” but then the Proton board backed up the CEO. Writing’s been on the wall for a while.

But not Youtube. Which is Google.

Curious.

I’m done with Google! Watch me rant on Google’s Youtube! Earns me money!

So… yeah.

Why are we giving neonazis attention, again?

Fair point. Still, I have to question how many normal citizens can afford to do that. I’ve literally never heard a news heading like “Portugal citizen takes IBM to trial, execs in jail for 25 years”.

Have you tried hiring a couple humans? They’re much better than AI. And you help your local (physical or virtual) economy!

Having copyright means nothing if the people can’t enforce it. How mch does it cost for a normal citizen to take one (1) corporation to a jury trial, again?

I feel that would be incredibly wasteful (and a browsing session can be several windows, too) for marginal zero or even negative net gain. Browsing would also need to set isolation profiles, because for some tabs, sites or windows you’d certainly want to have access to your localtime (plus it be precise enough). Ditto for each and every potential variable.

The truth is, not everything needs to be containerized.

Well it’s easy to recommend Signal for this case. War plans and all!

local machine time

local machine ram

I’d venture the only way to block those is to either recompile the browser or somehow use a separate Javascript engine that doesn’t provide that info, as it’s pretty foundational (as some people mention, localtime is accessible simply by constructing a Date object).

Wasn’t it also known as Jabber back in its fair day? How does that sound in the 2020s, anyway?

UI is not really a problem. Every time I hear complains about a given FOSS client of something “UI” not being “modern” it’s basically complaining “waaa waaa this does not look exactly like Discord, I can’t find a thing that is obviously labelled as a button!” or some such thing. Which is weird because, honestly, all chat apps like Signal, Telegram, Conversation or Gajim do basically have the exact same look: a pane for chatrooms, a pane for current chatroom, and a pane for typing. There: that UI was literally solved in the 90s.

Speaking of 90s, Winamp is from the 90s and the UI is doing quite well, to the point more modern programs intentionally want to look Winampy (eg.: Audacious).

UX however… it has quite a number of issues, such as there not being a practical way to know if all of the client, the server and service you want to use support the features you want, in particular encryption and message archiving.

Even the “beforehand” / “onboarding” UX is annoying: would anyone here be able to point to the “join-lemmy” equivalent of the XMPPverse? Or point to a generalist server with long-term lifetime, kinda like how freenode was (note: was) for IRC?

If I had to venture, I’d say if an important group actually put effort into setting up and servicing long-term XMPP infra in the style and generalism that freenode was, then probably it could gain some good traction. If anything, it could help doing the join between “upgrade people from IRC” and “upgrade people from modern silos”.

Plex has paywalled my server!

Skill issue tbh.

Platform.

Optional.

It’s on us (all of us).

Apparently.

Posting media.

Fediverse.

Yes.

Shittiest post of the week in the Fedivere, up there ↑.

If you are going to be this shitty, dismissive and misinformative, you can head back to Twitter.

Meta: “Okay. 0.00001%”.

It could cost Meta 32 billion.

US law: “Best I can do is 15 thousand.”

No thanks, if I wanted that I’d go to the CCP, Reddit, or Twitter.
