Not to mention the fact that, Google being Google, this is going to be shitcanned in a couple of years, anyway.

Dog-fooding, but instead of food, it’s a dog eating its own vomit.

These people don’t get it, do they?

Oh, they get it, alright. They’re making more money than God, which is entirely the goal.

I, too, live in this fabled real world, and I already mentioned I understand your issue. I just think you’re barking up the wrong tree, but luckily you’re able to work around things, and that’s the most important bit, isn’t it?

To be honest, stuff not working when it breaks the standard is unfortunate, but I wouldn’t blame this on the tool that adheres to said standard.

You’re not inconvenienced by systemd-resolvd, you’re inconvenienced by those mail sites doing stuff that doesn’t work, possibly as a result of them needing to do something that was slightly flawed to begin with: using DNS records to possibly hold more data than they can per the spec, which, if I understand things correctly, is because of the limitations of UDP traffic.

Not that that helps you, of course, it’s annoying and I recognise that.

Europe: idontthinkiwill.jpg

In Dutch, we have the similar “zoals de award is, vertrouwt hij zijn gasten” (roughly “the way the innkeeper is, is how he trusts his guests (to be)”).

I believe they’re absolutely not street legal in the UK, nor in the EU. Those were never “ridiculous sized trucks” Walhalla to begin with (although I see more Rams than I care to, these days), so there’s roughly zero chance those things will become mainstream here.

Heck, we have rain here, that’s enough of a wankpanzer repellant.

The tech might be the same, but the models can certainly differ, and something that is trained on US-centric data gives US-centric results, which may not always be desirable.

Yeah, no, not anybody can host a server. Sure, you can host a PDS, but the AppView still wasn’t open source last time I looked, and hosting a relay requires tens of terabytes of storage, not to mention the bandwidth to keep up.

Meanwhile, people host actual activitypub instances on repurposed routers and their car entertainment system…

…I have no words.

From boiling water into water that happens to be in a switched-on kettle. Huge improvement.

When the enshittification comes (when, not if, they’ll have to drag their feet to move somewhere else again. All their followers will have to follow them again. Had they moved to a proper open solution, they could’ve stayed there indefinitely.

It’s not just about Bluesky" not being the proper and pure solution", it’s about this being a temporary measure at best, and people don’t seem to realize that.

If I understand this document correctly, it would mean that the entire connection somehow gets routed through Meta’s servers. I can fully understand the reluctance of other parties, including Signal, to do that, and I wonder how this is actually compliant with the DMA.

So they either keep Signal around and be able to talk to you, or they don’t. They don’t need to stop using WA to use Signal.

If they don’t want to do that, it’d mean that you would have to keep WA around for the one or two contacts you have there (and only there), which is somewhat comparable, actually, if you disregard the “but meta is short for metastasis, actually” bit.

Which one of the two it ends up being is between you and your contacts.

AKA Betteridge’s law of headlines.

Ehh, I’m fairly sure it’s not. It certainly wasn’t in the past. When do you believe that changed?

Never mind, you were talking about OO, not LO, my bad.

If you mean a (read-only) web interface, there’s also cgit and gitweb.

I mean, it’s your party and if Gitea works for you, that’s great. It still is a bigger piece of software than what you need (or at least what you’ve told so far), it’s up to you to determine if you’re fine with that.

They don’t, officially, as far as I know it’s always been an “at your own risk, might get your account banned” endeavor.

No, problem not solved, problem half-heartedly worked around. People dislike Discord for several reasons, bridging it to whatever different platform will at best be a bandaid.
