There are domains you can register privately, if that’s a concern.

The main advantage is not having an admin block you from talking to certain people by defederating the instance they use.

Somewhere I won’t be bothered, like Tristan da Cunha or the Pitcairn Islands

This guy is being reasonable, get the pitchforks!

Nothing is private on the fediverse, and Mastodon’s bodge only gives the illusion of privacy. There should be zero expectation that any fediverse software will follow their non-standard extensions.

That doesn’t solve the last mile problem, or transport for all the people who live outside of a few dense cities.

What happened? Why did github block them?

That’s what happens when you have a reasonable sensor suite with LIDAR, instead of trying to rely entirely on cameras like Tesla does.

Loving the fact that [email protected] exists 😄

It demonstrates that nothing on the fediverse is private, and bad hacks that pretend otherwise are a terrible idea.

There’s easily over a thousand fediverse instances at this point, having to whitelist them all would be impractical.

Yeah, I did mine like 15 years ago around when they first started accepting international orders (At the time they didn’t even have labs in the UK and they paid to TNT overnight ship my spit to America)

Hyperbole

Some forum software is starting to support activitypub with plugins. If they add the plugin then you can follow and interact with the forum from Lemmy. The best option for everyone is to start pestering forum admins to add those plugins so they get users and Lemmy gets more content.

Long term creating migration scripts for popular forum software like phpBB, so content, users, etc, can be moved to a custom Lemmy instance would be an option.

Helium was interesting, but they locked it down so you can only use their proprietary hardware for access points, it seems kinda scammy.

IPFS is used by several archive projects like Anna’s archive and libgen.

Meshtastic is a distributed local mesh network for text messaging.

Now seems a good time to point out there is an alternative DNS root that isn’t censored https://opennic.org/

He’s somehow less of a psychopath than any real life bourgeoisie. He’s given Homer his job back like 12 times, and apparently pays him enough to own a house and support a housewife and three kids.

If an AI is detecting bugs, the least it could do is file a pull request, these things are supposed to be master coders right? 🙃

A second hand Handspring visor prism, although it needed the phone springboard pack to actually be a phone.

“not an FBI surveillance van”

The plugin ecosystem is full of freemium garbage. It’s also designed so a functional site basically requires the jetpack plugin, which is a connector to automattic’s proprietary SaaS.
