I did not read the link, but two of my biggest concerns do not appear in the summary you provided :

• the burden of hosting an ActivityPub enabled service is often duplicated for each instance instead of being split between them (for example, my Lemmy instance has a large picture folder and database because it is replicating all posts from communities I’m subscribed to)
• it’s a privacy nightmare. All instance admins now have as much spying power as the single centralized service it is replacing

(Edit: typo)

It’s not that I don’t believe you, I was genuinely interested in knowing more. I don’t understand what’s so “precious” about a random stranger’s thought on the internet if it’s not backed up with any source.

Moreover, I did try searching around for this and could not find any result that seemed to answer my question.

Can you give examples of countries where mainstream media is not owned by billionaires ?

With all the botting going on on Reddit, this whole Google AI deal makes me think of the recent paper that demonstrates that, as common sens would suggest, deep learning models collapse when successive generations are trained on the previous generations’ output

Downvoted for cropping out the reference to the original…

At this point, I don’t know if you are trolling or not. You keep saying that this is nothing like timezones, while describing something that really looks like timezones to anyone else reading it.

Do you suggest we all use one unique time, regardless of local solar time? Or do you suggest we all use our own local solar time, based on each person’s exact longitude on the globe, regardless of borders and current timezones ?

Are you suggesting something like continuous timezones? Thanks for bringing this nightmare to a whole new level! :)

I admit they hid it pretty well, but look again. Radworks, the entity behind Radicle, is a DAO, which makes anything they do related to cryptocurrencies

Can you elaborate?

I was under the impression that there was some kind of consensus around rust being one of the safest languages to use. However, I’ve seen comments about rust being bad pop up in a few threads lately but they never explain why they think so.

For anyone who wonders, this is related to cryptocurrencies

Lol I almost fell for it. I just Ctrl+F’d the link, no occurence of “tab” in the press release :D

Well, it kind of makes sense to give a figure in such an unit. It allows you to quickly calculate how much you’re gonna spend on your electric bill (but only if you’re based in the US), since all weird conversions are already done

Well, Watts are just a different way to write Joules per second. The unit we should eliminate is {k,M}W.h which introduce a 3.6 factor in conversions to/from the regular unit system

Nice paywall :/
