Isn’t Signald generally broken right now? I think the Matrix bridge is being rewritten with another backend or so.

That seems unecessarily complex, but I guess you would need to explain more about your usecase.

P.S.: Samba is horrible 😅

Better contribute to Photon, which Tesseract was forked from originally.

The core features are already covered by git forges and foss news sites, and nearly no one wants more work like scheduling in their hobby project.

There is always a strong urge to start a new project, but your time is very likely better spend contributing to a project or reviving a useful project that got abandoned.

I don’t think such a website would see much use. Maybe better to contribute to an existing project that you are using.

They had plans for it and afaik even got a NLnet grant, but life got in the way, so it is likely not going to happen soon.

There is also KeyOxide with solves part of it via cryptographic verification and I believe some fediverse platforms already support it: https://codeberg.org/keyoxide

Is much nicer 👍

To me it lately sounds like Canadians do need to worry a bit about “freedom” being brought to them.

Sounds quite good, but just use regular Debian, ubuntu isn’t any better and annoying with their Snap BS.

I guess i need some kind of VPN for a secure use?

You can set up a Wireguard VPN.

Well, if you have read it then your cherry picking of minor ways Bluesky is slighly less closed comes accross as pretty bad faith 🤷

Hmm, did Pocketbase add AP support, or how is this implemented behind the scenes?

Judging by the screenshots there are better looking IRC apps, but fine 🤷

Please PM me about it.

This is an interesting theory, but I think it is wrong that it assumes that there is some sort of evenly distributed universal qbit substrate.

The vital question is IMHO how can this theory fit in time dilation (= gravity lensing? ), which is an obversable fact near gravity wells or at high speeds.

I find it more likely that it will turn out that even time is somehow a function of this extended concept of entropy. Like as if mass, movement (~heat) and time are three facets of the same entropic force that has an upper limit that we currently only know for movement, i.e. the speed of light.

So something moving at the speed of light must have no mass and time stands practically still for it (as the case for photons), and the more mass something has the more time slows down around it (which can be observed) and gravity is the result of entropic movement being restricted.

Under such a theory, the observable effect of mass, i.e. gravity, is basically atoms being restricted in movement and thus over time sticking together similar to particles moving around in a liquid by diffusion but some part of it is more viscous and that over time accumulates all the particles due to the sticky effect.

A star would be then a place where mass and heat/movement is high, but time is slow, and a back hole would be an extreme case that is almost entirely mass, with no movement or time possible (hence nothing can escape from it).

I think you should find a smaller, well moderated instance and show it to your parents first. If they consent with her signing up to it, it should be fine and generally speaking there is no practical way for instances to check the age of their members anyways.

Tumblr is being reworked to have a Wordpress backend right now, and Wordpress already has well working ActivityPub support, so yes, Tumblr will very likely happen once they made the switch.

I suspect the technical debt in Tumblr was larger than expected when the first announce federation support, and now it became nearly a full rewrite, which takes time.

The most they can do is add a load of more users to the fediverse then take them away again. For them to successfully EEE the fediverse, it would require convincing existing fediverse users to switch to threads. I cannot see that happening on here on any noticeable scale.

Na, they were quite explicit what their plan is: they realized that there are interesting “content creators” on the fediverse, and that many other “content creators” are eying the fediverse and similar platforms as a way to have more control over the platform they use. And ultimately users will follow the creators, once the creators are sufficiently fed up with being taken hostage by facebook etc. So they are willing to let the creators switch to the fediverse, but want to retain the users as ultimatly that is where their revenue is coming from via advertisement and data harvesting.

It’s not any worse than the differen’t feature support levels of different Matrix clients. But especially on Android, XMPP has nice modern clients with all the features you would expect, including a/v calls and reactions/stickers.

The main issue right now are up to date Windows desktop clients, but on Linux desktop there are some good options.

We run the latest beta.7 on https://photon.slrpnk.net/
