Threema.ch already do this. Maybe that’s the answer?

I wonder what that looks like fleshed out a little, though. Is that a mandatory or voluntary payment? And by paying for what they use is that per message or per month like a subscription?

Exactly.

But do we trust entities that depend on our governments for funding? It could be argued that they’re fundamentally compromised.

Upvoted bc VC eventually means enshittifiication. But with xz getting back-doored recently, what is the middle ground that keeps these things sustainable financially and operationally?

Some very informative and leading articles pop up from that site. I learned a lot about indigenous issues (inflicted by settlers) there. Was really surprised given the associations I have with the brand.

I don’t understand how the eye movement camera fits in to the experiment. I was wondering if any stories, even audiobooks and TV series have the same effect but I’m no clearer from reading the article.

Best skin I’ve seen on any social site. Nice job.

“spammy/toxic instances” - Meta are a toxic company. They literally have blood on their hands.
“too liberal with defederation” - we’re talking about one body specifically; Threads. Nothing else.

As to whether it should be done at an admin or individual level, I have no idea. But they’re an unethical company and people less privileged than you and I have died while they profit from it. That alone is enough reason for anyone with empathy IMO.

So if an instance federated with loads of other instances but not Threads, I’m not a social network anymore? That makes no sense to me.

Isn’t he also the SO creator? Anyway, I’m sure he understands the technology, yes. And maybe I misinterpreted him. But it sounded like he’s saying that if we don’t federate with Threads, then there’s no point in being on the fediverse, because we’re effectively isolationists”. That’s simply untrue.

He has some strange takes there, as if federating is mandatory. Servers do block instances and defederate. it’s not misuse of activitypub to do so.

I don’t know what’s the right choice. But some arguments are a bit off to me.

I thought that SSD fails “better” than HDD because SDD become read-only first.

It’s not just hundreds of years. Those people are still there today. It’s never too late to do the right thing. In fact, Canada has returned some stolen land lately so please don’t tell me that it’s too difficult when you haven’t even tried.

By the way, on second reading of your reply you sound like an absolute maniac. Are there any other minorities you’d like to see deprived of justice and funding? Wheelchair users maybe? The deaf or blind? Check yourself.

The next time you need justice, I hope someone says something better to you than “too late, you’re just one person”.

There is no “American liberty” until natives get their #LandBack

Would I be able to switch seamlessly to another SIM/number in that case, do you think?

I think you half there

Here are some absolutely minimal notes / instructions that I refer to myself. https://nuacht.flounder.online/gemlog/2022-07-12-samba.gmi

Beyond that I recommend searching based on your OS or distribution as the commands may differ ever so slightly on the installation.

I hope it will be referred to as BS more often.
