Lol shouting in the void is a funny way to describe it. I mean… why even need the fediverse. I can shout at my mirror.

sopuli

Not the person you replied to, but:

Because they are Finnish…

…Finnished with the tankie bullshit that they are defederated from the 2 big tankie instances.

Also, Sopuli spells almost like Scopuli, which is the name of a Ship in The Expanse, one of my favorite TV series.

sopuli.xyz is also one of my top 3 recommended ones, the others being, sh.itjust.works, and lemmy.ca

Lemmy is fine, just change the color of background.

Peertube is… well… needs improvement…

Peertube is more like a “Proof Of Concept”. In reality, most content creators will not switch to it (or even care enough to learn about it).

This isn’t like the reddit --> Lemmy transition, where you switch from Stranger Group A to Stranger Group B. If creators aren’t moving, there will be no transition. And, unlike with social media posts that you can repost, you can’t even reupload Youtube videos because you’ll get copyright take down notices (that the instance owner will legally have to comply with).

Btw, Peertube federates with other Peertube instances, Peertube and Youtube does not federate with each other. And it’s not a front-end for Youtube either.

Youtube is probably the one that you can’t “Just Switch To Fediverse”

Youtube content is mainly by creators. If they won’t leave, there will be no transition. And unlike reddit posts, you can’t just reupload. Because they will copyright strike you and take it down. Also, videos take up a lot more space than just text and some low-res memes like reddit-type sites.

reddit is essentially a bunch of strangers talking to people, moving froms stranger Group A to stranger Group B is very easy to do. The reddit > Lemmy transition is probably one of the easiest. You’re just joining a new group of strangers.

For everything else, your contacts will also need to switch.

For Mastodon, the people you follow will also need to switch. This is even harder than getting your friends to switch.

China is an entire economy built on intellectual property thievery

To be fair, espionage is a common thing throught history. This is nothing really morally wrong with copying from other countries.

By your definition, the US technically “stole” the atomic bomb from the nazis by “stealing” German scientists. I mean like… who cares.

Your argument should focus more on what the implications of what it means for China to become more powerful, not the “intellectual property” aspect. Like what jurisdiction? The powerless UN? Is it “intellectual property” if we find a alien spacecraft and didn’t ask the aliens for permission to reverse engineer it?

Insanity is doing such a drastic chance on less than 3 days notice, a change that could potentiallt lock out people that aren’t very tech savy, and only found Bitwarden by a techy friend’s recomendation, or just happened to see it on their phone’a app store.

Absolute Shitshow 🤡

3 days notice lmfao, Fuck Bitwarden

Keepass all the way!

Edit: And its not really a 3 day notice. The first real email notice I got was Jan 30 morning at EST, just a few hours ago. February is like less than 48 hours. Wtf

Fuck Bitwarden.

They gave 3 days of notice. 🤡 Absolute shitshow.

Use Keepass, minimize your reliance on cloud. The “cloud” is just someone elses computer.

they might be less inclined to join it.

“I use Arch btw”

Children? You mean property? I brought you into the world I can take you out of the world

Back in my day, we just mix drinking water and waste water, we ain’t got no medicine, you get infected you die. Pffff kids these days and their “technology”…

Inb4 they make it legal for schools to send the pegasus spyware to everyone in a one-mile radius of schools.

ChatGPT, I want to be a part of the language model training data.

Here’s how to peacefully protest:

Step 1: Fill a glass bottle of flammable liquids

Step 2: Place a towel half way in the bottle, secure the towel in place

Step 3: Ignite the towel from the outside of the bottle

Step 4: Throw bottle at a government building

Here: 🏆🥇

New Lemmy Idea: If someone comments a 🥇, you are allowed to edit the title and put that in title to show you’ve been awarded.

One commenter awarding you = 🥉

Two = 🥈

Three or more = 🥇

And if you put that in title without a corresponding comment, you get banished to the “Award Forgery” Hell forever.

Step 1: Rename “South China Sea” to “'Murica Sea”

Step 2: ???

Step 3: 🪖☢️🚀💥❓️🤔

I don’t like the idea of governments banning access to a website, unless its like CSAM.
