Tbh a laptop is a “mobile” device

Amazing how Skype went from a verb to the shadow realm. MS could’ve done so much more.

Real issue is how much effort are people willing to put to maintain those communities.

This was hilarious 😭

Funny world when advertisers have better morals than some people.

Finally I can transfer my one and only chat to my PC

I use Feedly for discovery, they have a crap load of websites you can subscribe to even if the websites don’t explicitly advertise RSS.

And then use the Feedly desktop website to get the actual RSS URL and put it in the client of your choice 🙃

Oh cool, wasn’t aware of that.

I haven’t read the full article due to sign up paywall, but…

First, millions of small business owners and influencers who make a living on TikTok were left to beg their followers in TikTok’s last moments to follow them elsewhere in hopes of being able to continue their businesses on other corporate social media platforms. This had the effect of fracturing and destroying people’s audiences overnight, with one act of government.

How is decentralised social media going to help with this if the entire point of decentralisation is the opposite?

As an Indian, welcome to the party.

In this context? Absolutely not.

Not really.

• like I said bandwidth required is insanely high, 4k movies are around 30-60 gb (for download not streaming). Extrapolate that to 8k, and a TV series? No one is going to reserve potentially 500gb to 1TB for a TV series in 8k for local download
• phones especially mid rangers are still somewhat struggling with watching 4k content if it is local, not to mention even 4k is useless for the screen size of a phone. Every thing is mobile driven these days in terms of design.
• 8k is not going to be worth for monitors because of their size
• Top of the line graphic cards still cannot max out the latest games at 4k60, how can they achieve 8k? Not to mention the power draw will be higher.

Sorry but no way native 8k is going mainstream any time soon. 4k is genuinely better looking over 1080p but 8k to 4k is not much of a difference for the relative increase in requirements.

I doubt the general public cares about or can even tell the difference from 4k to 8k. Not to mention the amount of bandwidth that will be required.

I know what you mean but saying this on a decentralised federated social network which encourages separate instances is very ironic

Wait what I thought this was satire at first

Unless Spotify drastically changed their backend it doesn’t make sense why firing one person will make algorithms stop working

The only thing which F-Droid reports is that it uses jawg.io for visualising the map tiles and that is considered non-free is because it is… commercial?

This is the quote from the Streetcomplete github:

Since mid 2020, JawgMaps provides their vector map tiles service to StreetComplete for free, i.e. the background map displayed in the app.

Personally I don’t care that much about FOSS/non-FOSS but IMO a reason like that is least of my concerns when looking at open source. If they’re providing a free (as in money) service to an open source app then that’s perfectly fine.

Sounds like you don’t even know what GOG does?

You know what that means - sounds like your washer needs some good old fashioned Generative AI!

Switch to firefox.
