It's literally a fork. Open some files, they are exactly the same. Someone just exported easy notes and then uploaded it again with different icon and name so people won't immediately see it's a fork.

Guess we should all be unemployed not to be oppressed.

What immense power? You can hand in your resignation and all that power, money and piles of gold suddenly mean nothing when you don't have the basic component that makes the gears turn. Workers are also not oppressed, because workers can quit if it's not fitting for them. Staying there by free will to take the shit in is not oppression... We already have very mobile workforce that basically does job jumping every 2 years, and people are having less and less issue with simply quitting. So what is exactly the problem for the worker, expect that they want to work in a company, but on THEIR terms, and not the company terms?

Not defending Amazon in any way, but I think the playing field is quite level right now between the employer and employees. Both are free to make decisions, both are free to work together or part ways. So I am not seeing an issue other than the worker wanting to control how the company is run.

KeePass. It has everything I need and is fully under my own control.

Unless you can follow specific people on blocked instances, this is a fail. If my friend is on another instance which is blocked from my instance... whats the point of the fediverse? Might aswell go back to Facebook or X/Twitter. They are shitty but at least I can see my friends.

I don't know or need to know the handle. I know my friends name and surname and that must be more than enough. Facebook doesn't need "@facebook" and twitter doesn't need "@twitter" to find people if they exist there. I know the feature is coming but it is the key to make it accessible to wide range of average Joes who don't want to, in their own vision, be rocket scientists to find people on the fediverse. It needs to be as simple as on facebook or other networks.

It's not dead but it has one big and massive issue that prevents mass adoption - discovery. If I can't just write the name of my friends in search and find them no matter where they made their account - for an ordinary user, or one that comes from centralized services, this seems extremely alien and hostile.

And in the end, if you can't find your friends, you want to interact with, what is the point of using the service?

Luckily, Mastodon is working on a discorvery protocol that should offer a way to find people across the board, which will hopefully make the Fediverse "appear" centralized to the average Joe while maintaining all the benefits of decentralization to the advanced users.

There are no search engines besides Google and Bing, because everyone else just uses Bing under the hood.

Everyone I know has at least 10 USB-C cables lying around, what's the point of shipping more e-waste?

Idk, usually people shut down their business if it can't make a profit...
