Yesterday I noticed something. I was searching for a few different things, but only got completely random garbage. That was the only time so far I noticed that. Before yesterday the search was fine. I hoped that was just a hiccup, but we will see...
And last time I checked they wanted to change the law so the overachievement over other sectors can excuse the failure in others. So no need to do something in the traffic sector, if other areas performed better.
Not sure what the current state of this plan is, but I would assume they didn't take it back, which would seem the only reasonable thing to do🤷♂️
My takeaway is more like: This one almost made it through and was caught by accident. How much more backdoors actually were not caught and made it through?
I would bet some money on it being more than 0 :(
I guess it is impossible to say what would have happened if Google never used XMPP. To me it mostly looks like google joined XMPP and made it way bigger than it was before and eventually left it again, making it small again. But is it worse than before Google even joined?
Maybe, but can we say for sure?
Maybe the lesson is not "don't let the big corporate players in", but rather "make sure the development of the underlying protocol itself is done in an open way".
If Google/Meta adds proprietary extensions, just don't add them to the main protocol. If they leave the protocol again or changed their implementation in a way that is largely incompatible with the open version, nothing is lost than what they brought in initially.
Doesn't that make sense?
I'm actually curious about "Embrace Extend Extinguish": What can they do? They "extend" the ActivityPub protocol in a proprietary way, ok. Doesn't mean any other instance has to use that, no?
Ok, that would mean if an instance doesn't follow that extension, it can't interact optimally with Threads, but how does it matter? To me it seems all that can be lost by that is the content/user base that Threads brings into the Fediverse and then we are at the same point as we would be if we defederated immediately.
Maybe I'm missing something here?
I would argue this wasn't planned. If you want to cause damage, why do it in the middle of the night?
Not sure how full this bridge is during rush hour, but I would imagine quite a lot more than it was when it collapsed now.
But it couldn't be easier to just set up a second remote, that isn't GitHub with just vanilla Git, if you don't trust Microsoft (Or even fully switching to a different remote).
Why is there a need for something else in addition?
Can't wait for a multi-tiered EU. I see that as the only feasible option to have progress on so many issues.
Any useful reform of the current EU will just be blocked by that guy and it's not like we can expect someone else in charge of Hungary anytime soon...
