Nobody’s mentioned Homarr or CasaOS but if you want an out of the box “Just works” but still open source experience they’re the best bet.

Right, but try doing that with a 10 day old server created in 2024. That’s the hurdle people are referring to.

I think this is the next big step for fediverse adoption. Mobile apps can easily obfuscate the different servers, but an integrated browser solution would be huge.

Like imagine commenting on a blog directly with your Lemmy account, without first navigating to your instance. No more “please link to the original source”.

This might be the most lemmy comment I’ve ever seen.

Funny, I think video games, on the whole, are approaching a real golden age. Sure (like you said) if you stick to the $70 titles produced by big studios you’re going to have an increasingly bad time. But the quality of ““Indie”” (but not even really since Indie studios are legit full companies now) games is rising damn-near exponentially. I personally haven’t felt a need to choose an ““AAA”” title over an indie title in years and not only am I saving money but I’m enjoying my time with video games more than I ever have (including childhood!) in my life.

If you’re not familiar, 404 Media is definitely worth supporting. High quality, no-bullshit journalism.

Yeah it’s not the same. Corporations suck in a different way.

This is cool. The CEO of ghost was on dot social (fediverse podcast) recently and I thought their approach to ActivityPub integration was interesting.

It’s still a good resource for stuff like that but I’m not contributing to it.

Got a link? I’d be curious to read that.

It’s not hopeless! The Fediverse is AFAIK entirely nonprofit, and smaller instances means more moderator eyes on everything, too.

If I had to predict the future, I think apps like Reddit, Twitter, Tioktok, etc will be the places for entertainment and the Fediverse will become the place for conversation.

Reddit has been trying hard for years to move beyond being a discussion forum to another mindless scroling app.

The reason is because in the time people read one discussion thread they only see one ad, but scrolling memes, etc they will see many more. It makes the ads much more valuable.

The reason is because they use that stuff to help determine if you’re a bot.

reCAPTCHA Enterprise interacts with the customer backend and webpages to trigger a sequence of JavaScript, HTML, and token authentication events.

The devs did a Q&A that answer pretty much every question in this comment section: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwz2iZwYpgg

I have trouble believing that last bit. My Mastodon feed is always extremely full of scientists and Mastodon has almost 3x the active users that BlueSky does.

Uhh… why did you just paste the comments from the video without the answers?

Yes. Why bother sharing if you’re not trying to help others?

Is this using ActivityPub? I notice that the lead dev shares a username with a lemmy.world admin.

EDIT: yes it is I missed that it is already federated with Lemmy instances

It seems like we agree on the facts, and I certainly won’t disagree that it’s worse now, but I would characterize Twitter’s (pre-Musk) response to extremism as “measured, lacking and lethargic”, before I would use “imperfect”, which still implies “pretty good” and from my perceptive it was not good enough to make me want to use it. I think maybe we just have a different tolerance for hate speech.
