So, this is the place where I'm going to be generally hanging out and trolling around, while my Pixelfed, Mastodon, and Blacksky accounts are going to be primarily art posting accounts, and I also have a Nooki account.

I'm also going to start to be active more on here than on lemmy.org, so I'm making this my primary Lemmy account now.

I'll link the other socials I'm varying levels of active on below, plus my lemmy.org account which I'm demoting to my secondary account if that instance is going to be more unstable from now on.

  • F-droid doesn't exist on Apple and its days are numbered on stock Android too.

  • How soon before the Internet Archive goes under because they can't afford hardware anymore, and to take this further, how soon before self-hosting becomes untenable and self-hosted platforms like the Fediverse start to collapse as a result?

  • Another thing that could hypothetically be done given NK does this already so there's precedent as far as this goes, is any given government could make their own Red Star OS equivalent, and then have that as the only state-approved distro

  • DVD actually still holds up for 2D animation, as 2D animation is probably the only medium that holds up well upscaled from 480p, there's just not a lot of detail to lose in the upscaling process compared to live action or even 3D animation to some extent.

  • Think about mp3 CDs...

    • ..Or worse, ATRAC CDs, which thankfully also never caught on because had they caught on, given ATRAC is a proprietary Sony codec, they would've only been able to be played back on Sony CD players which supported the ATRAC codec.
  • The only platforms for now where this might work are Windows, macOS, iOS, and stock Android, however as Muta hypothesized, if this extends to hardware-level, a law could just mandate SecureBoot and lock out the ability to implement custom keys, and then only allow a short list of state-approved OSes to boot on the hardware, which no doubt Windows would be on that short list.

    Similarly, all non-Apple mobile devices as an extension to that could be locked exclusively to stock Android, eliminating custom ROMs like LineageOS or GrapheneOS as an option entirely, let alone mobile Linux distros.

  • Given all the attempts at eroding tech freedom, this might end up being future computing, but the cloud is state-controlled.

  • Assuming the bootloader is not super locked down or even nonexistent, think Wyse thin client levels of locked down.

  • Changed it to the YT link.

  • Technology @lemmy.world

    Not good.

  • Walmart already locks their computers and other pricey tech up in cabinets for anti-theft reasons.

  • Doesn't exist, 'no rooms available.'

  • A crafting how-to book would be by far one of the simplest things a person could write, and as Richard Scarry used to show in his how-to books, anthro animals could be used to depict them.

  • I can't believe we're at the point where entire OSes are blocking whole areas now. What's next, Cali and anyone else who pushes this will ban building custom PCs because they don't ship with a pre-approved OS by default? Will companies like System76, Framework, Tuxedo, and Valve stop selling their hardware because they either don't ship with Windows by default or give you the option to provide your own OS entirely?

  • They're teleprompters.

  • Good thing LibreWolf exists.

  • Yes, I'm referring to Rubio.

  • Says the person whose country is actively undermining civil liberties and enabling censorship on their own people. And how soon before this extends to US citizens too?

  • Not yet, but surely AOSP distros are in the crosshairs next if they're not already.

  • Fuck AI @lemmy.world

    Dave Jones is rightfully tearing an AI slop peddler a new one.

    Isn't it odd that Nooki is effectively dead vs. Lemmy, but ATproto, which Nooki uses, has a larger number of users to it than ActivityPub does?

    GenAI is a fraud and it needs to start being treated like a fraud.

    How feasible would it be to host Mastodon, Pixelfed, Lemmy, Friendica, or Matrix over Tor/I2P?

    If this isn't a warning sign to leave YT as a creator, nothing will be.
