I’m no Nostradamus but I don’t see this happening because the companies that make their revenue on storage would be crying foul. I don’t see any successful pushes to make local storage illegal. Put it this way: I hope I’m right.
I am an anarcho-communist and a lover of all things free and open source. I also love cats of all kinds. You can also find me on Mastodon at @housepanther@mstdn.goblackcat.com

Just goes to show Sammy is nothing more than a techbro.
The idea of developing a community discovery protocol as a subset of ActivityPub is a really good idea. Something similar to DNS could work but the problem lies in that DNS is fairly centralized and controlled. Look at what we have now with the political shit show that DNS has become. I think a whole new protocol would have to be developed to facilitate this. A community discovery protocol might share community lists between instances in a federated way for example - maybe much in the same way that ban lists are federated.
Jitsi for the clear win here!
I’m going to do that tomorrow for my blog site. There’s no way I am letting ChatGPT crawl my shit.
He cannot even manage to pay the rent due on the office space. Hardly a shocker that he’s having trouble paying the revenue-sharing bills as well.
Hell yeah!
You’re probably right. But I wanted it documented in case she got blamed she can say, “Read the comments.”
I made it clear in the survey to praise the Adobe Engineer that worked with me today to finally resolve the issue. She was actually the picture of competence and backend knowledge. When my end user hung up, I actually asked her if she lived near me in my state because I was going to recommend her for an engineering position with my agency. I was truly that impressed. The rest of Adobe can get fucked with sandpaper for all I care.
Fuck Adobe with a 20ft light pole! We pay beaucoup dollars for their so-called enterprise support and to say that they suck is to understate things. It took them literally 4 business days to admit that one of our user’s “licensing problem” was a problem on their end. They fixed it and had the nerve to send me a survey. I ripped them a new one on the survey but they likely don’t care.
Quite the opposite @sylver_dragon@lemmy.world . I went to self-hosting everything precisely because I wanted to de-Google and de-cloud. Big Cloud proves over and over again that it lacks the responsibility, accountability, and motivation to take care of my identity. They only care about how they can make me their product.
It seems they do. I just discovered this myself. Fuck all this goddamned hatred. I’m sick to hell of it.
I like Akkoma. It offers more features than Mastadon and its devs aren’t tankies like Pleroma.
There is that issue as well! I forgot about bandwidth.
Yeah, I dont think it’s a problem of lack of interest but one of resources. You literally need in the 100s of terabytes of storage space, especially for HD videos.
Put a distro like Arch 32 bit and use it like a small, low-power consumption web server.
I’d like to believe that it can help stop bad internet bills. Or at the very least make them unenforceable.
I’d like to wear one of those exoskeletons so I could throw one of those boxes like a projectile at management! Huzzah!
It’s possible to bring your followers with you by doing an account redirect. On your old server and/or account, go to Preferences->Profile and then scroll down until you see move to a new account and click on the link. Then on your new server and/or account go to Preferences->Profile and scroll down until you see move from a different account and click on that link. Your follower will be alerted as to your new account. Right now you aren’t able to bring your posts over with you. Unfortunately it is not possible to even export your posts yet with Mastodon. A part of me is regretting not going with Akkoma or Calckey when I decided to redo my Mastodon instance because I believe those twitter-like alternatives give you the ability to export/import all of your data.
Great tool! Thank you for creating and sharing it!
