I am very opposed to this. It means surrendering all trust in pictures to Big Tech. If at some time only photos signed by Sony, Samsung, etc. are considered genuine, then photos taken with other equipment, e.g., independently manufactured cameras or image sensors, will be dismissed out of hand. If, however, you were to accept photos signed by the operating system on those devices regardless of who is the vendor, that would invalidate the entire purpose because everyone could just self-sign their pictures. This means that the only way to effectively enforce your approach is to surrender user freedom, and that runs contrary to the Free Software Movement and the many people around the world aligned with it. It would be a very dystopian world.
I don't understand this metaphor. Is it about frog breeding for later eating? Why else would you want to heat your pond, irrespective of the frog. And why is there a greater incentive to heat the pond when there's no frog, and vice versa? So many questions!
Friend, your brain is also just a neural network. "Advanced statistics" are happening in your head every second. There is nothing exceptional about humans, save for the immense complexity of our neural network.
I don't think that "live chat" is fitting for Lemmy. It is an aggregator in the first place. There are already other FOSS services for live chatting, such as Matrix. IMHO, adding such a feature to Lemmy would be out of the scope of the project and probably result in a bad and dysfunctional implementation.
I don't think that that's true. Mentats themselves work alright without spice or that Sapho juice, though I think that both of these substances expand their abilities. It is Guild Navigators that are immersed in spice tanks for much of their lives.
P2P? How is that supposed to work? You cannot expect every user that uploads a video to even have remotely enough uptime for any arbitrary interested person to successfully watch their video
That would then mean that small instances would have to prove themselves before being accepted in the wider network of instances and just end up centralizing the fediverse.
Most of us want the Fediverse to eternally decentralise. Imho, this would be the optimal scenario. Whitelists would be a major obstacle to the décentralisation effort.
Not true. As the other commenter noted, bacteriophages (which are viruses) are released from the infected bacterium through the lysis of the bacterium in question. The death of the "host" is literally essential to their multiplication.
But if we want people on Lemmy who don't know what Linux is, then we need to avoid that massive barrier of asking users to pick an instance. And the second massive barrier of registration applications.
How so? Those things do not have anything to do with each other. The concept of Lemmy instances can literally be explained in less than a minute.
Given that HONOR is Chinese, they must have cut corners elsewhere. It is entirely impossible that Samsung, the second largest technology company in the world and the most advanced consumer electronics manufacturer, seated in South Korea, is beaten by a Chinese company.
Just a few days ago, it was shown that Tesla's FSD is being specially trained on influencer's routes to make it appear better in their videos and experience, without them even knowing.
What? GPL does not restrict freedom, it ensures its continued existence.
