I'm thinking the same way smartphones are solved where only small increments of improvement happen. Radical changes happenen, like folding phones or the rise of Tiktok. Some have long lasting problems like the former, but the latter managed to pick a fight with the giants and come out on top.
Back to market terms, they're mature but new players have proven to disrupt the market. When the general public start caring about privacy, federated social media will rise. Seeing how that is quite a politicised thing, progress will be slow. I'd love to be proven wrong though.
I think social media is a solved problem at this point, you'll need something radical or game changing to actually break through in this market. Combined with the fact that the fediverse is inherently much more difficult to monetize I don't see many companies taking on that challenge.
FOSS projects might though, but they tend to grow too slow to be disruptive.
I get it, the inventory is just a list of all servers and PC you are trying to manage and the playbooks contain every step you would take if you would configure everything manually.
I'll be honest when you first set it up it's daunting but that's the thing! You only need to do it once, then you can deploy and redeploy anything you have in minutes.
You're going to love SolidPods, honestly. From the website:
Solid is a specification that lets individuals and groups store their data securely in decentralized data stores called Pods. Pods are like secure web servers for data. When data is stored in a Pod, its owners control which people and applications can access it.
I see no possible way that a centralized identity can be more private that an array of separate ones.
Check out the specifications as well, using Pods you could have seperate accounts on every platform linked only by the ability to login using your Pod.
convenience thing first and a privacy thing second
This is convenience and privacy, with a SolidPod you decide who stores the data. It could be you, it could be any federated instance, but that data is encrypted and you decide which application can use which data. They use a WebID (see this as a hash of your unique profile) to identify the user and this would be the only data that is shared between you and any federated instance.
You are fully aware ipad babies are a widespread phenomenon? Those people use that exact wording to justify doing so, you can blame people for throwing you under the bus alongside those people, but you also could've just worded that more carefully.
Next time start with that instead of giving them a phone because that's easier than dealing with the child, people might not get their knickers in a twist.
Read your own words, you'd rather give your child a phone than deal with your child wanting yours. That is exactly what you said, no assumptions needed.
deal with your kid constantly wanting to use your phone
They are being 'needlessly judgemental' about this line, you can fret over the importance of having 100% control over the device (which is weird to me as well but that's besides the point), having your kid conditioned to constantly want your phone is what people are calling you out for.
