Ah yes, that explains the log4j fiasco

I read their Technology page which isn't entirely word salad like the front page is. Based. No one company should control your social graph, I'm an advocate of data sovereignty as well on that note. Also, to corporations: Fuck your authority.

I actually switched to Endeavor recently. My buddy Eli, however, absolutely swears by Spiral Linux, a Debian-based distro with the same goals Ubuntu had before it became a corporate Snapcraft-forcing shithole

Okay, so I really do believe in the Fediverse. I'm working on a really big project in Kotlin that I have the intention of wiring up to AP later on.

Haven't read it yet but this is facts

If you're still using this account, I run my own. If you set up a domain and $5 Linode, just spin one up and follow the Ansible instructions. Setting up Lemmy was SHOCKINGLY easy for all the shit Lemmy is actually responsible for handling.

Federation allows for choice. Indeed, many AP implementations already add to the base AP stuff. Peertube already does this itself.

For this to really be a problem, the server software would need to be maintained by the same person running the instance, and they have to have the manpower already to either a) Build an implementation or b) Run a fork of existing software. Both take effort and quite frankly is juice that isn't worth the squeeze to risk cutting yourself off from the network like that.

ActivityPub wasn't built with the purpose of having a "killer app" in mind. That's centralization logic. The point is for all apps to be able to talk to each other regardless of where on the network and maintaining the ability to do so seamelessly without the user having to think too much about it.

Mastodon should be able to talk to Lemmy. Lemmy should be able to talk to Pixelfed. Et cetera. I don't believe XMPP had the same purpose, matter of fact I remember it just being a subpar IM protocol iirc, and I don't see social media going by the wayside the way IM clients of the past did.

FreeBSD is being used by Netflix and others, I don't use it because I'm not offended by virtual hugs, but it might appeal to those who really hate systemd these days. Linux started being commercialized in the 90's, the same decade it came out, and the same decade Microsoft wrote the "Halloween docs." Linux took root pretty damn quick in the grand scheme of things. It may never take the server market, but Linux has been kicking ass since a few years after it was announced.

That would be too easy for people with an ideological vendetta. In this case, leftists.
