It’s kinda nice, we’re big enough to have a fair amount of content, but small enough that it still kinda feels like a community.

Thanks! I knew about the EU rule, and I’d heard they’re basically maliciously complying?

Also, off topic, funny that you replied to this at probably the exact same time I was reading one of your comments in a different thread. Was a really well thought out comment, and I appreciated your take. 👍

Huawei is highly controversial in the EU. The Chinese network supplier is considered a potential security risk for mobile networks.

Aren’t mobile networks notoriously insecure?

Yes!

That’s the same picture.

There’s been a lot of cases at the start of transplant tech where people have willingly gone through the surgery, knowing they would almost certainly die, and their living 100days was counted as a massive success.
The fact this guy lived 100 days, got a donor heart, and is still, currently, alive… that’s icing.

I run Windows on one of my systems because of gaming and the rest run Linux because fuck you Microsoft

See, I made the full switch late last year, dual booted for over a decade, but just couldn’t cut out the games that wouldn’t run on Linux. When they announced EoL for W10, and then started adding more and more and more useless anti-user “improvements” to 11, I bit the bullet. Turns out, there’s really very little that I want to run that doesn’t either have a native package, or runs fine with wine/bottles/proton. (By fine I do mean, as good or better than in Windows) And there’s the added bonus of my wife thinking I installed “Update Simulator OS: Arch-based Edition” (btw)

My wife recently discovered that her 2017 MacBook Air was no longer receiving updates. I’m trying to convince her to try Linux first before buying a new one. Her big sticking point, ironically I think, is if I can get M365 running on it. Her and her mum share the cost of a family plan, as they both use it for work.

Cool, rare instance of my memory not being completely shot 👍

That’s… really fucking cool…

Depends on what you mean by forever. Who knows what tomorrow brings. We could be smashed back to the stone age, and effectively extinct, sometime next week.

Had an old phone, around when smartphones started being a thing. Emergency services was #08. And with keys locked, # 0 and 8 were the only keys that would register. Literally couldn’t have it in my pocket. Had to keep it in my bag. Probably 20 calls to emergency service before I figured out that those keys didn’t lock.

I believe that apple restricted other browser makers to using safari mobile as a base. Not sure if that’s true/changed, but I’m too lazy to look it up. So maybe take that with a helping of salt.

Not like that!

Love it!

If libertarians could read, they’d be devastated!

Only if it actually worked as the salespeople said it does

That’s the thing. It’s been talked about for over a year now, but LLM “AI” won’t ever lead to AGI. It doesn’t matter how big you make the model, it’s never going to actually qualify.

Sorry, I should have been clear, I by no means thought you were hating on it!
I’m literally just hearing about Revolt now. And I’ve had a bad day so far, that obviously came through in my previous comment. I’m sorry, rereading my last comment, it’s a bit belligerent.
Thanks for taking the time to explain like I’m 5 and throwing a tantrum. 🤦 Sorry again.

1. File size limits on the default instance are 20mb.

But it’s configurable right? Should be looking through configurations anyway.

2. Its not federated.

I’d argue that not everything needs to be federated. Some things would definitely benefit from federation, but I’m not entirely sure that this is one of them.

3. It’s not encrypted.

This IS a bit of a major negative. But point 2 and point 3 seems to be in conflict. I’m definitely not an expert, and don’t pretend to be. But to my limited, layman’s, knowledge wouldn’t being federated and encrypted not really work out? What would be the point in encrypting all communication between the server instance and client, to then federate it out to other servers?

I’m not trying to be contrarian here, I’m really asking, is that something that would:

1. Work.
2. Makes sense to do

Or is the lack of encryption a security risk for server operators? I’m not getting the point, obviously. And I’d like to know what your thinking on this is.

Yeah, that works too
