Webassemby is still limited to a single thread as far as I'm aware, so it's not a full runtime for the language you are writing in as anything using threads behind the scenes tends to fall over unexpectedly at runtime.
Its also an absolute bastard to debug (young ecosystem)
Na, we should get rid of that idea completely. If everyone used one time like UTC (other time zones are available) and just align your working hours etc to your location.
Then 14:00 is 14:00 everywhere, just that some are asleep then, others are awake!
Electricity has been around that long too though, yet there are no serious electric passenger planes (with a decent range)
It has it's flaws, but it may have a higher ceiling in terms of usefulness. They say they can make it work, which is more than I hear about electric planes for example.
We should be financially encouraging 0 carbon planes, without controlling how, then let the engineers work what tech to do it with.
Founded in Poland. Now majority owned by a UK headquartered investment company. It does look like they have a US hq too though? I assume that's to help with US content licenses and other US business?
All the ones I have had have been shipped from Poland.
It depends who you are trying to hide from. A VPN will hide your internet traffic from your ISP/phone company, but obviously not from the site you are visiting.
At best you might be one of may people connecting from the same (VPN) IP address, but they can still collect info from your browser/app etc to generate points to ID you if they want.
If anything, it’s way easier to control what your employees see if they are on a company instance.
....that was entirely my point.
Also, which company uses Reddit as their forum?
lots of small apps, orgs, communities etc just have a subreddit and a discord server. Lots of bigger companies have official or semi-official subreddits.
We’re all a big community. I think people get this quickly.
Someone wanting to get support for their hoover or something may not. they create an account to discuss the pros and cons of certain hoover and see loads of random stuff about American politics and Linux. Their going to get real confused. Most people have heard of reddit now though (and to a lesser extent discord)
In fact defederation is a negative since now you have to worry about new signups, moderation, etc. While in a federated instance, you can leave moderation to other instances and only allow team/company members on your instance.
They are going to moderate their communities, if its unfederated, you don't have to worry about moderating (or the lack of) on any other instances communities at all.
Users can sign up on other instances and still be able to interact with your instance for support, help and other stuff.
Thats going to be too confusing for a lot of users - they just want to sign up and complain about/discuss things.
It depends if they are saying, we have a community on lemmy (federation fine) or saying, here is our official forum thing (federation bad)
If you are a company looking for a forum, you want to be able to control it. Unfederated means you can control account access and don't have to worry about someone going to All and seeing porn etc.
Federated could work, but you need to make it clear that it's just a community on a platform.
Everyone is fucked
