Out of context, but this video showing the amount of freshwater on the planet in perspective was eye opening for me… I see water availability different since.

I feel like the LLM guy should be the psycho doctor doing unethical experience with the clinic patients…

Sind wir nicht alle Afrikaner?

Turned out, it wasn’t the happy end she was hoping for…

You can’t know it, but I am German 😅

Man I came to comment I had the same idea… Just to find out someone else has implemented it again…

But that’s cool. I still not fully understand what this Flohmarkt is. Is it just a social platform designed to share things you want to sell instead of pictures of your food?

I should really take a deeper look into it.

Yes the moment the “article” framed modularity and replaceability as a problem it was clear for me that this is nothing else than product placement… Those things are features I would wish my car would have.

I thought it stood for “Kool Desktop Environment”

Wenn es an den 5% kratzt, dann sollte man es erst Recht wählen, damit das was man für richtig hält erst Recht drüber kommt.

Und selbst wenn die Partei unter 5% bleibt hat man seine Stimme nicht “weggeworfen”. Die Parteien bekommen mehr Förderung und wenn es nur knapp unter 5% ist auch Aufmerksamkeit. Dadurch nehmen andere Parteien die Themen eventuell auch ernster.

Weggeworfen ist eine Stimme hingegen dann, wenn man sie an eine Partei gibt, hinter der man eigentlich garnicht steht und sich dementsprechend niemals etwas ändert.

I was just thinking the other day… Someone should make a move from the Struwwelpeter Book. PEGI 18

Oder einfach einen Fick darauf geben was die Umfragen sagen und stattdessen einfach wählen was man für richtig hält 🙂

Oh yes, that makes more sense. Ok I get the message now. But the world wasn’t that easy back then either I guess.

This looks like the who-is-who of colonialism… What is this actually about?

The one with the M was the open source and federated one, correct?

Of course they do. They want to keep control over monetization. They don’t care about creators at all.

Sony has committed official drivers for PS5 controller under Linux. The experience with it is really plug-and-play… just that you don’t plug it in.

Some people don’t like the layout others prefer it. I use it myself on my Linux computer. So I wanted to name this option here.

I think it’s much more impressive that stuff that was added in 2018 and 2019 has a much higher probability of being deleted today than if it was added 2017…

Wonder if that has anything to do with covid and maybe new businesses models opened 2 years before failing and therefore websites of this companies disappeared.

Also I think it would be nice to see a graph of new websites being opened other the same time span.

Yes they probably will.

But my point would be that with AP being W3C and not management by meta or a different company the ecosystem of it can survive.

And too be fair until recently I still used XMPP so it was never dead. I think it was just that almost no one ever heard about it before Google used it and also almost no one really cared about it while Google used it. So the resulting consequence was that once Google dropped off completely it went back to no one really using it (like it was before).

AP already having a decent user base (some million active users, official accounts and instances of big institutions like the EU commission e.g.) even without threads and a big eco system(very diverse platforms and projects), there is no need for any platform to adapt to anything coming from meta. Things are good (enough) how they are currently.

It’s not that we need to compete or couldn’t exist without Meta.

Yes this EEE fear exists but I think it’s unreasonable in my eyes. AP being managed by W3C is one reason for it.

Sure Meta will probably extend AP for their own use but it’s not that they can simply decide that the new feature that they introduced and is at first only working on their platform is the standard from now.

I definitely agree that Nostr is something to keep an eye on but for me that’s more about to see if there is stuff that works and can be introduced in AP as well. Because of all the arguments above I don’t think we should all switch to Nostr now.

But amount of users is actually more a product of marketing than any technical protocol so I don’t really see that point either. Also I don’t see that being true, especially if you count in all the threads users.

My point of it being a W3C standard is more that it is a protocol that is in somewhat responsible hands. When using a protocol that was developed by and only for one (commercial) application in minds other players are always one step behind.

Mastodon (or threads) as the main platforms that implement AP don’t have any more influence on the protocol than any other platform as well.
