Isnt the west and ukraine using chinese drones for lethal use too? Whats the confusion about?

There are plent of cheap chinese phones supported by lineage os tho.

I think you have a life limiting issue.

Oh forcing physically works very well with a gun to your head, but yeah not legal ofc.

Also any phone that has been out of your vision in the hands of police, border agencies or TSA is electronic waste.

It wasnt specified what was meant by childhood. The further back you go the less you remember. I remember a lot more about 6-10 grade than 1-6 grade.

The matrix protocol is a good example to prove you wrong. It has been popularized in the past 5-6 years (i.e. this era of the internet) it has well over 100 million users and growing, is being used in hundreds of universities and wont stop growing, is being used by government bodies all over the world and has unified most of the software dev landscape into one protocol. Its hard fucking work and you have to start with exactly those groups which are easier to convince and then you can move on to the average consumer. Thats how email did it and thats how matrix will do it.

Nevertheless email stays the defacto standard for business communication and has stayed intercompatible with a wide range of clients, servers and plugins. So this graph could be better but is apparently not a big issue as long as companies and unis keep running their own servers, forcing big tech to stay with the standards.

Bro has been asleep for the past 10 years lmao

Things never change, companies never break promises, shareholders never hold power over decision, people can not be bought

Those would all have to be true in order for anyone to have a reason to put trust into Bluesky.

If you execute random, non media file formats that u got from a torrent then thats on you.

Dats a big S there buddy. U got a loicense for dat?

I had a vague feeling this was the case but i never saw any concrete articles/evidence. Hamas is just too useful for Israel, it needs to exist to allow Israel to conquer the area.

Meta auto created threads accounts for all instagram users iirc so they kinda forced thwir way into the market by pre inflating their numbers.

Have you tried 535 yet? I would do that before trying to experiment with other installation pathways.

Well the obvious one is that they refuse to federate. That inevitably means they have plans to commercialize the platform and want to stay in control. But also little things like the fact that you cant view “age restricted” content without an account. Maybe they will stay somewhat nice for a while but in the end its always the same and there will be nothing you can do about it because they have complete control of the platform and the followers.

Bluesky is already in the process of going to shit in more ways than one. Until they start federating they are not an acceptable alternative.

lemmy is my first and only social account (unless you consider software forums or gitlab lol)

Matrix too but not using that in a social media way, only as a direct messenger.

Not without cracking it open to swap the battery.

It will ofcourse still be very filtered in regards to legal grey areas like piracy and porn i assume. But even then for everything else we really need a functioning search engine.

Thats an advantage so thin it is almost invisible. Its a centralized platform, it could be bought by Elon or shutdown for whatever reason at any second. Being this shortsighted about the future of global communications systems is not a great idea when Trump is about to take office.
