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.

Edit: I thought Revolt wasn’t open source, not sure what I had it mixed up with.

Well, that’s Plex gone from my server, then. I had switched to Jellyfin, anyway, but it was mostly “still there”.

No more.

Running the stuff on someone else’s computer still requires a dedicated team for “something serious”, unless you stuff everything in specific “serverless” platforms, in which case you’re still paying for admins, just not yours.

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.

They can’t even do a coup without fucking half of it up.

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.

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.

Please tell me this is a joke. Are they really that blatant, and if so, why are they still not forbidden?

Same here, so unless something is fully open source, self hostable and preferably federating, I’m not picking it up.
