Valid. Except on some browsers e.g. Vivaldi you can put sites on a list that retain their cookies even when you clear the rest.
Why not a PWA?
If there was a Bandcamp for film and TV, then I would buy stuff there. DRM free.
But until then...
Totally. And that "legitimate interest" nonsense takes ages to click through 🤦
Great idea! Two things
I'm running Mint, and have an external USB drive plugged in. It is not powered - it gets its power from the mini-PC.
Occasionally I get this message and I've no idea why. It might be after rebooting the machine but I'm not sure (sorry).
The only thing I did with the drive is rename it (to "1tbDrive"). Could that be the problem? (I did that in the Disks application).
Orgs have to wean themselves off big tech dollars. Painful, but has to happen. They'll have to restructure and refocus. Maybe cut out the AI stuff and focus on core functionality?
lol I thought this was a guerrilla IT warfare post where you snuck in and did it, but you actually did it with permission.... 😂
I'm trying to find out where the development is at right now for ActivityPub, specifically about data (posts) portability, and persistent IDs.
For the former I think that's fairly self-explanatory, I'm just trying to get a flavour of if it's a priority, who's working on it, what the anticipated timeline is etc. It's a clear advantage that ATproto has, so are we trying to close the gap?
By the latter I mean is there work happening to work towards us being able to have one ID that can be used to log in to any fediverse network (as per nostr)? This approach makes so much sense to me - is it even possible?
The link here to W3.org doesn't seem that up to date - but I'm not that knowledgable so may have misinterpreted that site. So I'm looking for education on this subject 😊
For Hitler and Nazi Germany it certainly was a way to prepare for expansionist wars: https://www.richardjevans.com/lectures/autarky-fantasy-reality/
I'm reading this on a Microsoft Surface that I flashed with Linux Mint. Quite satisfying!
Message to Microsoft:🖕
Urgh this is so backwards.
Governments need to fund more FOSS not less!
Hopefully the EU can increase its support to compensate.
Ooooooooh I see! right.... yes that works.
I wasn't familiar with the idea of the instance 'fetching' a post. Thank you!
They don't have to be, as far as I understand it. I've installed a few websites as apps on my phone (because their app had trackers in it) and they can work really well. Examples are Bluesky and Flipboard.
An example where I agree with you is LinkedIn - installed as a web app due to trackers - but they know this, and the whole point of their app is to get you with Facebook and Microsoft trackers, so they make the web app experience miserable on purpose.
But (and correct me if I'm wrong) a PWA made by a non-surveillance capitalist could be just as good as a native app.
