"Federated" — why? My immediate questions are: What purpose does federation serve in this context? How are song lyrics like Mastodon updates or Peertube videos?
Federation is great for some purposes, but not for all.
Let me stop you right there. No they didn't, and at this rate they never will. What we have is shit "AI", and if your solution to that builds on more shit "AI", you'll end up with a Jurassic Park sized midden.
Everything past that first false premise is best read as satire.
Oh hey, this is just what I was looking for recently! I wanted to recommend PirateBox to another thread on here, but realised it was eol'ed six years back. This is pretty much similar usage, right?
So, I don't see any comments here other than your own, but I'm not sure it was the best choice to post this to a community called "Fuck AI"? It kind of automatically leads to the assumption that the video is generated using that technology — which we regulars take any chance to tear to pieces.
Congrats to you on having such a creative and tech savvy kid, and lucky him for having a dad who encourages him like this. Just, maybe not the ideal audience to share the video to 🙂
Sure, I was being slightly facetious to make a point about the issues that Peertube solves. IMHO the most valuable part of Youtube is the one Peertube replaces — videos.
The Youtube advertising that people seem to make money off is the part I already do my damnedest to avoid with third party apps and front ends. Peertube solves that as well.
That's fine, mbin didn't exactly provide the url I'd expect. Callinghttps://kbin.earth/m/vinyl@lemmy.world the "original post URL" rather than https://lemmy.world/post/28778258 looks a bit off to me.
According to mbin, that's the original post URL, but does the site need a different format? Because trying another random post from my timeline I get a list of votes: https://programming.dev/post/29327147
My answer has been for a long time, "then take a stroll down main street naked, and tell your deepest secrets to strangers". Of course you have something to hide, otherwise you're a soulless shell of a person.
I started degoogling because of Google's more and more transparent business plan of data surveillance. I'm not comfortable with "paying with my information" because of the uncountable (and frankly unimaginable) ways that information can be applied by third parties without my knowledge.
"AI" is one example which wasn't even on the chart when I started degoogling, but we can all be certain that Google and partners use any language sample available on Gmail and G drive to train theirs. This is the company that casually registered private WiFi networks in the course of mapping their Maps street view. They'll harvest everything they can.
At heart, I don't trust corporate mega-monopolies to take care of our best interests as online citizens, and as a European I'm super sceptical of becoming subject to less safe legislation (US, Chinese or whatever) that doesn't offer me protections that I have or expect at home.
By not using Google (or Meta, or Amazon, or X) I can deliberately pick and choose individual services — or host them for myself — rather than hedge everything on the benevolence of one corporation that doesn't give a shit about their users.
