Gonna have to be investigating the entire industry…

And they won’t until they start charging users

Even after they start charging users they won’t, because who’s going to pay the absurd costs? Most consumers are doing whatever they can to avoid it or get rid of it.

The small guy gets pennies on the dollar, while the big companies rake in the profits. So honestly, let’s just abolish copyright altogether

Or we could not do that and actually solve the problem that causes those kind of splits…

That all depends on your perception of “good value”. I don’t agree.

The fact that they say “still” leads me to believe that they’re referring to, as compared historically. Which, I mean, “possible” if you’re a savvy buyer who comes across a not-savvy or otherwise-motivated seller (like a divorcé), but not really something you should expect at all.

Apparently it’s based on “Open Cloud Mesh” (OCM) protocol that they created.

Yoooo how did I not know there’s a federated and polished Strava alternative!?

Maybe working but not published into the public releases. Probably will continue to be worked on until Steam Frame is about to go on sale.

They omitted the video from the article for some reason. Looks more like AR than VR.

I don’t use the Synapse home server and it’s still very slow.

Federated does not mean ActivityPub. They federate with each other using (presumably) their own protocol but I don’t actually know.

sho does

It’s totally possible to make a true 1-1 competitor to Discord but no one has done it yet.

Nextcloud Talk is probably the closest thing with federation. But Nextcloud is notoriously complicated to host. And for some reason super unpopular outside of Europe.

Stoat (formerly Revolt) is very close, both in functionality and UI. But is not federated (and has no plans to) and for some reason not very popular. Also doesn’t come with the wealth of configuration and moderation tools that Discord does.

Matrix works but it’s super slow, bug-ridden, and complicated to use.

Zulip is similar but I’ve used it fairly extensively and still have no idea WTF is happening. Also not federated.

Of course there’s always IRC and whatever other ancient comms tools that still work fine but are very dated and lack functionality.

Sure, it allowed for that before this update as well.

Oof

“Instant” dark mode after 3 clicks…

Either one would simplify the process, yes.

Sounds like a process that would be greatly simplified by adding a passkey…

E: I don’t understand why I’m being downvoted. Adding a passkey would eliminate steps 2-7.

LOL this response triggers me on MacOS when I tell it to install “unknown” software or turn off Bluetooth.

“WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN YOU CANT DO THAT, I AM YOUR OWNER AND IM TELLING YOU TO DO IT SO JUST FUCKING DO IT”

There’s not much info about it that I can find. Do you have more info about what was specific about it? Wikipedia says:

Poseidon Linux was aimed at the international scientific community, it came with a range of applications for fields such as GIS, 3D visualization, and statistics.

So it sounds like it just came with some apps pre-packaged (which is what most Linux distros do). If that’s the case then yes, you absolutely can. How easy it is depends on what the specific apps are and their installation methods.

That’s more Google’s strategy. Microsoft is more “we updated a bunch of stuff so that we could push our products and services even harder and closed workarounds people are using to avoid them, and if you don’t like it, fuck you, what’re you gonna do?”
