it’s absolutely fascinating how the current government does everything they possibly can to promote and reward literal witch hunts.

i mean; this has always been my take but people don’t understand that we’re all different and insist video medium is best medium.

and now blogs are dying because of ai.

Imagine the hubrid of believing they’re so clever they can solve a problem much more advanced nations have been struggling with for much longer.

which is the dumbest shit in the world. why the fuck are people on facebook?

i pay $20 a year for basically all of that and even more stuff but open source provided and maintained by a local server company in my country. of course i don’t use half of their offerings because some stuff has alternatives more suited for the platform or its simply not needed. but e.g. their service offers nextcloud which has most of the stuff you listed bundled into the platform by default. and then they have another 50 services added on top available for use.

BankID

afaik our digital identification system does not work well outside of iOS or Android (most of the time, not at all - since it breaks on updates and they update basically daily). so we’re stuck with their duopoly. because digital id is mandatory.

Once upon a time they did support linux on desktop but then ubuntu went and decided to make a phone and linux support was mysteriously discontinued a week after.

who will pay our representatives to push this through?

the problem is algorithms. during the whole bluesky promo all over lemmy while everyone was shitting on mastodon. the only thing that’s broken is algorithms, and once you throw them out social media is immediately fixed - but of course the primary argument of mastodon vs bluesky was that mastodon requires you to curate your content (like joining a sub on reddit to see it on your front page stream, before algorithms fucked that site, and the thing is people LOVED old reddit so i fail to see how this is bad and doesn’t work, but hey, all of lemmy said so, so who am i to blame) whereas bluesky being a relaunch of twitter and literally curating content for you no matter if you actually want to see it or not but for most people reactionary content is the only content they happily interact with anyway so algorithms makes a lot of sense for them because they feel they are engaging more with the site despite the pointless empty engagement they are doing instead of interacting with real users and real content on pages where you have to actively curate your content instead of being fed the lowest hanging fruit.

/ rant off

i stopped paying for cryptpad when they stopped building their own software and started peddling the utter garbage that is onlyoffice.

i asked them a few years ago if they are planning to build something new and they just said why build when there are things like onlyoffice already available.

sigh.

many governments are currently trying to tear down art grants aren’t they tho?

the majority keep voting for the people trying to break everything and get shocked when it breaks.

what lesson? it’s a ponzi scheme and whoever is the last holding the bag is the only one losing.

the legion of shills all but disappeared about 3 months in. i guess their budget ran out. but at least we stopped getting the anti-fedi pro-bluesky spam here at the fediverse so i don’t care anymore if its alive or not. mastodon is the only social media i use today not counting aggregation portals like lemmy.

it’s like modern chat clients. can’t do even 10% of the stuff a chat client could do 20 years ago and yet here we are. everyone on their fb messenger, and literal businesses refusing support tickets sent outside of metas platform.

windows dying doesn’t help. they are on a shopping spree buying every AAA game that tencent haven’t already bought.

should be the default wtf

wood/paper, glass, metal.
