are we really reading the same article? the government forced KYC on people and then the same system ratted them out to criminals
yunohost installations include the metronome XMPP service enabled out of the box. it's similar to prosody
kagi already lets me use claude to search the web. how is this different?
peertube replaced webtorrent with hls-p2p. you can't use a seedbox to help a peertube instance anymore.
they still do white text on a lime green background despite every accessibility guidance to the contrary. if I used white text on a lime green background at my job I would be reprimanded. this is malicious compliance.
bitcoin is a cryptocurrency. this idea that bitcoin isn't crypto is relatively new and only bitcoin maximalists actually believe it. the industry certainly has moral people who behave themselves and they're not all…
all these services are going to have to rely more on tor, i2p, and alternative DNS
you get chatgpt-4-turbo, claude 3, and mistral large all through a kagi ultimate subscription but it's still in beta.
it's important to understand that most crypto doesn't even use proof of work. out of the top ten, only two are mined and they have less actual usage combined than the other eight.
I had heard of ENS but yesterday I discovered that SNS is more affordable so I tried it out. now you can type gushinggranny.sol into Brave browser and it redirects to my peertube instance. SNS has A records too but I…
it's prohibitively expensive to access these tools. I have to identify myself and pay over £1000 to be allowed to access them. the agency either doesn't care about independent sites catching CSAM or they don't want…
no need to be so dismissive. my instance of peertube doesn't even show up on that indexer you linked. lots of people who make different kinds of fediverse indexers end up excluding a ton of instances by accident or on…
they've also never been found in violation of united states law and they've never lost any out of several civil cases. you would think that if the newspapers were telling the truth about what happens on there they would…
ideological nonsense. money has to have scarcity. implementing scarce money with free open source software is not an affront to anything about it. FOSS only takes away the advantage of intellectual property. FOSS is not…
most of the folks I know fund their exchange accounts via ACH and not their card
facebook is not going to buy my fediverse instance or my XMPP server. "they will just buy whatever gets used" gets thrown around too much as a sort of impotent defeatism. I don't see them buying instances on federated…
what's your name, what town do you live in, and who is your employer?
when I visit a church, they ask everyone for a little money so they can keep the lights on and do interesting things once in a while. nobody expects the church to KYC everyone who puts a dollar in the collection plate.…
a big chunk of the population believes that the government should have a total monopoly over the issuance of currency and they should be able to control every aspect of how it gets accounted for and who should…
I recently set up peertube on a $5 VPS using yunohost and it was very easy. definitely would need more work if I got more than 10 little views a day.
discoverability isn't zero. you need a foothold on other parts of the fediverse so that people know who you are and once you have that people will subscribe and share.
for cultural reasons I don't fully understand yet, mastodon instances are becoming the type of places where the word "stupid" is an ableist slur, among other examples of extremely heavy-handed moderation. at this point…
