It's both. At its core is a set of protocols that allows different software to interoperate in the way you envisioned. These protocols allows pretty much everything you mentioned with the possible exception of video/audio calls. I

I didn't realise just how long I've been on the Fediverse. It's been incredibly rewarding for me so far. Sure, I could have had more followers on a different platform, but I'm not there to have a megaphone that I force o

This is a serious question, why is it that big tech is too big for you to jump ship? What are you trying to get out the use of social media? To me, it's conversations with interesting people in a pleasant environment. I'm getting

That depends on your preferences. Following a handful of people that match your preferences is a good start, then follow the people they are boosting. Once you see something annoying from someone you on your feed, just unfollow that person

A few years back I did a presentation on this very topic. Some people have said they appreciated it so I'm sharing a link here in the hope someone find it useful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bl8jQ2wRh6k

Where are you located? I'm in Singapore and Steam downloads are usually about 800 Mb/s, and PS4 downloads are at 500 (probably limited by the disk in the device). Linux software updates are all over the place, which really isn&#x2

And even if it did, it wouldn't be bitcoin. As bitcoin is capped at a maximum number of units, with some being burned by losing access to them, it is per definition is deflationary currency. That would prevent a normal economy from wor

I think the remarkable thing in this case is that the vendor is Sony, not some off-brand vendor trying to sell their stuff to audiophiles. Then again, a dedicated music player isn't something most people would want, so perhaps only aud

Does that work? On the occasions when I read a post on Twitter (by following a link, since I don't use it) and I press "see replies" I always get to see the same replies again.

They can write their name any way they want, but people writing text that includes the name is under no obligation to follow that. I've noticed that that in English speaking media it's common to comply with companies wishes for we

MirageOS is really interested when combined with Qubes OS. I've started looking at MirageOS, and since I use Qubes, being able to run things directly on Xen right next to my regular VM's is really neat. There are also projects to

TECO isn't actually that bad, and I'd argue that it's roughly on the level of vi in complexity. I learned it just for fun, and found it more powerful than vi. I was using videoteco when I learned it, and I recommend it to any

This is exactly opposite to my experience. Doing anything in JS requires so many dependencies, and specialised knowledge about what frameworks to use. I think we can conclude that if you have so prior knowledge, getting it working is much e

My project is a programming language interpreted, and from the start it was written in multiplatform Kotlin. Then als to this it was trivial to create a web frontend where the entire implementation runs in the browser. All of this is done w

This seems to be common, given disclosures that other companies have been doing the same thing. Since Slack is not end-to-end encrypted, imagine if Slack was compromised. The amount of credentials an attacker could have access to by just do

That site always tends to come up when people want to complain about Flatpak, and it's been mentioned multiple times on this site. Check the previous posts to see well formed responses to the nonsensical claims made on that site. I (no

Unprivileged doesn't really mean anything. Since pretty much everything sensitive is running as a single user, having root doesn't really give much much that you couldn't already do as the user. You're right that apparmo

Flatpak is the only packaging system that takes even a tiny step towards trying to give you some kind of security. When installing software using any other packaging system you have no isolation what so ever. The software is able to help to

Use Qubes OS. It will help you in different ways. Firstly, if a problem happens, only the specific environment is affected (such as the project you're working on), secondly any changes outside of the home directory will be reverted (th

I don't fully understand what you meant. Either I misunderstood it or there is a problem with your explanation. You can measure distance between complex numbers. But the distances between three numbers has a non-transitive relationship

Plausible Analytics is a good choice: https://plausible.io/ They also have a nice Fediverse presence and quite open about what they do even down to their user stats.

The number one screen where you're exposed to it is in the filter configuration screen. Sadly, there is nothing resembling beauty in that screen. It's a multi-page wizard that attempts to guide you through what should be a simple

This problem was solved using the TERM environment variable, and it will just work when people use terminfo (and libraries that use it, such as ncurses). The problem is when people use explicit escape codes in their code rather than using l

Thank you very much. Fixed. And your comment resonates strongly with me. I have experienced exactly the same thing.

This article addresses the technical aspects of writing a programming language. However, regardless of the approach you take, it can easily consumer you since there is no no true target to reach. I wrote about that recently. https:/&#

Qubes is really quite amazing when you have enough memory. Your post may sound like you're mentioning as a joke, but it's really something more people should use.
