But then how do you make money with a browser if you aren’t getting Google money and don’t spy on users?

Thanks! I’ll look them up and give them a shot.

Anything you’d recommend in particular?

Interesting! Anything you’d recommend?

I agree. But also add in the movie industry that’s been complete trash for a while now. Not to mention books. I’m not sure if we’ll ever see another Harry Potter level book again, at least in our lifetimes.

My take is we’ve already left the golden ages of movies, music, and books and probably won’t get another for an extremely long time.

Video games are going through the same downfall which streaming services brought. Physical media left the movie scene as a standard while ago, but video games took longer. Now it’s going to be all streaming and subscriptions where you can never own anything.

Once that happens, enshittification will peak, companies won’t be incentivized to make the games good anymore, standards tank, and people will forget how good things once were.

Holy crap, it took two seconds to type this into DDG

Is this from something?

Obama won before and he was part black. Why would that be a problem now?

I just want that popup tooltip thing to stop blocking the most important part of the UI when I delete a message in Proton Mail… That’s something obvious and should take 15 minutes to half an hour of a decent dev’s time.

I’m really appalled by how bad Proton’s project management is.

…ActivityPub?

So if it’s not a bean, what is it? It’s not the fruit, so is it the seed?

That being said, I can’t trust MKBHD is not hallucinating either.

Doesn’t Fediverse mean “these applications can federate with each other”? How would you federate with Lemmy without ActivityPub?

If there are multiple protocols, then that defeats the entire purpose of a protocol. If Matrix and ActivityPub are in the Fediverse, then Facebook and Twitter should be, too.

Facebook can’t talk with Twitter, so they aren’t federated with each other. Same goes for ActivityPub and Matrix. Fediverse doesn’t mean “has a federated protocol”. It means “these applications are federated with each other” (from what I understand).

The Fediverse uses the ActivityPub protocol. This allows everything in it to communicate with each other. Lemmy can’t communicate with Matrix since Matrix is a different protocol.

IMO he can contribute all he wants. His PRs will still have to go through someone else (i.e. the new maintainer / lead dev). I don’t care if he adds new code. That’s much appreciated.

Toxicity is more of an issue if you’re the maintainer since you have control over the project.

I’m very close to pulling the trigger on Graphene. One question though - usually when I try open source / secure alternatives to some popular software the UI is janky and super old looking.

Is Graphene like this with their custom apps / UI stuff? Will I notice? Or is it identical to the stock OS UI design?

They claimed that authoritarian governments do not do this since they have no reason.

Sure, but what the person I replied to is claiming is that e.g. North Korea doesn’t lie to its people about reasons it does things, which is, of course, bullshit.

One thing I really hate is when people use that clap emoji between every word to try to solidify what they’re saying.

Doing that, or saying “full stop”, etc. doesn’t make me trust what you’re saying more. Explain why what you’re saying is correct. Use words, logic, and sources.
