How to Kill a Decentralised Network (such as the Fediverse)
  • Interesting, it was a variation of embrace, extend, extinguish, without the extend part.

    In a way, I think it happened to the entire internet. Look at browsers today, web development (that one might be controversial, but I think big techs somewhat forced bloated frameworks to be the standard way to create websites), video streaming, etc.

  • 💾 Save
  • Not exactly. It can be confusing at first, but then you see that it's a standard in most apps, and you're fine. The most curious ones will look for more info and find the historical roots.

    In other words, the floppy disk has meaning, just like most proverbs that come from ancient roots, but are still used and understood everywhere.

  • I feel ashamed of trying to contribute to open source for a decade, but never finding a way to. Could someone help me?
  • Most software I use feel too big for a starting point. I tried solving bugs for a smaller project, but my pr took literally 4 years to be approved. In others, I tried to look into some issue, but they were fixed before I finished my attempt.

    It all turned into some sort of barrier to get started.

  • Thank you for your comment. What a coincidence that you mentioned openstreetmap, because adding data became like a hobby to me. While it's some form of contribution, I wanted to go deeper into some project, be a developer.

    It's hard to explain, but it's mostly the social aspect of it that I struggle with.

  • Will Flatpak and Snap replace desktop Linux native apps?
  • As someone from a developing country, I still prefer most of my software from standard packages, in order to take less space.

    And before someone comes to tell about how cheap storage is nowadays, it can be cheap for you, but it isn't for me and for a lot of other people.

  • Thanks to Mr CEO of reddit, lemmy be like
  • If we create a post with the title "the frontpage of the internet" and upvoted all we can, would it appear on google results when people search for it? Used to work for reddit (or is just a meme and doesn't work at all, I don't know).

  • Scientists on Twitter head for the exit
  • Why do I get a bad feeling about it? I hope wikipedia remains the same after that.

    Besides... they ask so desperately for donations, so it makes me wonder if the project can be sustainable.

    Maybe I'm overthinking stuff, let's see how it goes.
