Idiomdrottning demonstrates a new and often cleaner way to solve most systems problems. The system as a whole is likely to feel tantalizingly familiar to culture users but at the same time quite foreign.
That’s rich when the Google Play store is full of malware while F-Droid is full of gems.
Aber das gilt nur für stabile Paare und Polyküle. 🤷🏻♀️
Same here, 43 years old.
The alphas probably won’t have a lot of computing on the cinder. 🤷🏻♀️
Unless we all get to it & fix climate 💁🏻♀️
We used a similar program for Windows 3.11, “doublestack” or something. It did work. It did make it a lot slower. We used it on one of the drives.
Correct, and that’s exactly why it does not work for group things.
If fedi is like email, and it is similar in many ways, a Lemmy community is like a mailing list. People can send to the list and the threads on the list from different servers. And there can be separate communities about the same topics just as there can be separate mailing lists about the same topics.
But hashtags in email wouldn’t work as a replacement for mailing lists. Hashtags in email can still have some use, within a mailing list or in a specific conversation, but it’s something very different from a mailing list.
On kbin, if people think that “Oh, here is where the posts about cycling will show up” but the magazine is just based around a hashtag, there’s no way for people to participate deliberately. It’s misleading.
Using hashtags as if it were tumblr or twitter is anti-decentralization and drives people into using the biggest instances only. Groups a la gup.pe and Lemmy and Friendica is a solution to that. It’s only a partially decentralized solution, since each group itself is centrally hosted (exactly like mailing lists were), but it’s at least a solution, whereas misusing hashtags that way isn’t.
Yes, it works poorly everywhere on the fediverse, is exactly what I’m saying.
Hashtags on Fedi can be good for organizing stuff within a single account or instance, or it can be used for other things like trigger specific bots, but they can not (as you know) work like an IRC channel like they did on Twitter.
That’s why I’m not happy about kbin elevating that misfeature and legitimizing its misuse as if it were as robust as the other federated group protocols are. It’s not the end of the world or the worst feature on the planet, I’m not that worked up about it, it’s just not good, is all.
(Again, not blaming you for that ofc, you only reported on it, and that was awesome, thanks.)
Yes, keyword search works poorly on fedi is what I’m saying 💁🏻♀️
Using that as a basis for group talk can end up being super unreliable in some situations.
(Not shooting the messenger, just as info for other readers.)
Using hashtags for this seems like an idea with some severe limitations because it can only see the posts it has happened to come across otherwise. (Unlike the other group formats.)
The copyright argument is a bad argument against AI art. But there are also good arguments against it.
no more Brave
So there’s a silver lining. But the WEI project is still overall a complete disaster that needs to rot on the vine. It’ll wreck not just browser diversity but overall hackability, adblocks, mashups, and above all: accessibility.
