Google's shocking developer decree struggles to justify the urgent threat to F-Droid
Hopefully they go to court to get an injunction. Hopefully, they also go to the powers that be in the EU, those same powers have been so focused on the Apple App Store they failed to take into account Google can do something like this with the Play Store. It would be a shame for the F-Droid project to end but it is completely avoidable.

They stopped calling it CP. As Porn is typically consensual and is typically what people think of when they think of Porn, they’re not thinking it’s two legal persons where one has not consented. Thus to avoid any confusion or possibility of downplaying its severity they changed the term from CP.

Michigan family files $100M lawsuit after boy killed in hyperbaric chamber explosion
Reply in thread
Holy smokes this is one of the best responses I’ve ever seen on the internet. Thanks for the information, breakdown and sources. One of the problems I’ve seen since the mass use of social media is that no matter the persons background so many people do the bare minimum. What I mean is they fall for clickbait headlines, only read the headlines, fail to check multiple sources. I get not everyone is a researcher but since we have computers in our hands it takes literally seconds to do searches. Your research helped piece so much together and I hope the family absolutely destroys this company and make it a deterrent for others to misuse these treatments

So, much of what you stated makes my head spin, maybe it’s due to the fact that it’s early but I highly doubt that’s the reason.

Is there any truth to this?
This person is a liar and just wants the Mastodon pat on the back. For some reason people on the fediverse can’t just enjoy their platforms and work to make them better. They have to lie about Bluesky and Nostr. I’ve been on Bluesky since the beginning. I’ve seen significantly more toxic people and content on fedi than I’ve ever have on Bluesky. People are happy to be away from X, they’re trying to promote a positive and supportive culture. There’s tonnes of minorities on Bluesky

Nah you’re not in position to state that. If the alternative wasn’t worse enough then you are to blame. There’s no perfect candidate. Ya could’ve voted in mid-terms, gave low approval ratings, voted for your preferred candidate during the next DNC primary. Not when it’s against Trump and project 2025. That’s choosing a nuclear bomb over a run of the mill bomb; sure both are bad but one is catastrophic. You’re mad that people chose a less severe bomb because it’s a bomb but your anger allowed something significantly more catastrophic yet you want to sit on some high horse. Sometimes you’re choosing against two bad things, choose the less terrible thing.
If there’s an unavoidable situation where people will die 10,000 v 100 I’m going to choose the least damage. You’d let 10,100 people die

Apple criticized for blocking Beeper Mini iMessage on Android app - 9to5Mac
I just fine it odd that people are unhappy with Apple. Beeper was spoofing Apple’s servers to make it look like an iMac was requesting the ping. Apple isn’t a charity they do not have to allow unauthorised third party access. I would hope none of us would allow unauthorised access to our servers.

ActivityPods 1.5 release
Reply in thread
Your response on ActivityPods and Solid – pretty spot on! I will toss in a couple more nuggets. Solid's kinda like having your own Google Drive, but you call the shots on who peeks into your stuff. It's all about files and folders. Sure, Solid uses RDF for the geeky metadata part, but at its heart, it's all about files. With ActivityPods, Instead of just playing with files, it uses something called an RDF Triple Store. Think of it as a smart way to store data that's all about connections and relationships. This means ActivityPods is more about mapping out how data is connected, like a big web of info, rather than just storing files. Super handy for social apps where who knows who, and who does what matters a lot. Like Solid, ActivityPods is big on you owning your data. But it's not just sitting in a digital drawer. It's active, social, and part of a bigger community. The author of ActivityPods has a very similar view of the social web compared to Evan P.

Hahaha no worries. Toilet is one of the best places to read. For sure would love to know your thoughts once you get the chance ☺️ I don’t get those that wanted a 1:1 remake. Some things are dated and a fresh approach is nice.

Observations from poking Bluesky app
Reply in thread
Yes, they opened federation a couple months ago and people are running their own PDS. It’s different from Twitter as people can own their identity, it’s only been out a little over a year, give it time dude. Mastodon is 8 years old. Blue sky has custom feeds over 40k of them made by various people, mute lists and block lists that are shareable and abled to be subscribed to, use identities are not tethered to instances, more controls of what they see and don’t see. You have a bunch of liberals and marginalised communities on there enjoying themselves. Why would go to Twitter?

NOSTR and content moderation
I think people get the wrong idea about Nostr. To be honest I’ve seen a lot worse and illegal content on the Fediverse. Depending on the client and relay there’s a ton that can be filtered & muted.

Understanding Solid
Reply in thread
Sure, so ActivityPods combines many of the core elements of Solid with ActivityPub. Such as data ownerships, WebID, Pod storage amongst a few others. Being as Memory it upon ActivityPods framework, users will own there data in their own personal pods, they will own their identity and be able to switch pod providers if need be. Due to access controls of Solid users will also be able to control which data Memory has access to and be able to revoke that access at any time.

Also, it’s so toxic yet he’s using the account still and bridged his fediverse account. If I encountered next level toxicity that’s not what I’d be doing
