I’ve been working with some smart people on something to hopefully become a “federated account” that can be used with any service, and is 100% compatible with OIDC, so its easy for systems to implement as the authentication vehicle: https://fedid.me/
Just presented it at IIW and interest is building thus far, so my hopes are high 😉
But, is this bad? Google makes a crap-ton of revenue compared to publishers who are now struggling with AI content competition. They need revenue to pay journalists.
Hard to define the good guys on this one.
Note: It’s also a misrepresentation. The EU asked Google to do this.
This is the opposite of what you think it is.
Google says it’s running the “time-limited” test because EU regulators and publishers “have asked for additional data about the effect of news content in Search.” The company says it will continue to show results from websites and news publishers located outside the EU, and it will resume showing results from EU news publishers once the test ends.
This is the EU testing what it would be like if they ditched Google, not Google testing what it would be like without the EU. The test also doesn’t impact the US.
Go to the source. Debian.
Well, this was the Facebook origin story, so anyone on Threads deserves it.
The only thing it does better than Slack: A list of all my chats, most recent at the top, without any disappearing or grouped in some weird way. Slack annoys me.
You mean Future-X?
Pretty sure if they joined mastadon.social, they’d be fine. Plus the clout for mastadon would be woth the orgs investment if it was needed, though their infrastructure would likely be fine. We’re not talking millions of viewers.
They don’t need to do any of that. Just make an account on any instance and go forth.
If you can leave X, you can change instances if needed in the future, too.
Some outside what others may say. Depends on what you’re trying to make private.
Self-hosted Vaultwarden/BitWarden, SearXNG, and Firefox Sync. All things missing from your list to privatize the web.
Signal/Matrix for chat.
Organic Maps when you don’t need traffic for privatizing location.
Self-hosted Nextcloud for file storage.
And Obtainium (and gam for Linux) to break away from the stores themselves.
Very helpful for my machine setup scripts. Thanks!
Wait until net neutrality is completely dead. I predict 1.5 years.
Why is it depressing? Plenty of quality conversation to engage in, less bots so far. Feels more like the forum days, I love it.
Every time I see this I think it needs a Storage and a Conversation branch.
This is basically what Lemmy looks like in Thunder in tablet mode.
Hah, yup, that’s me, too. Sorry it didn’t work out, a team have done some updates to it that may work now, unfortunately I’ve never been able to get a hold of them.
I think they did a decent job. They report on compatibility for those that want it, but demonstrate it can be a Google-free experience. The fact that they also recognize they tested on an older device vs glossing over that was appreciated, too. Any journalist willing to install Ubuntu on their phone is probably going to be a bit more reliable to begin with, too.
Bit of a plug, but use gam? https://github.com/fmstrat/gam
Yay for OpenPilot
We simply don’t need Reddit users. We need Lemmy users who desire to start communities. Lemmy is Reddit 10 years ago, and that’s just fine.
