I agree. But also add in the movie industry that’s been complete trash for a while now. Not to mention books. I’m not sure if we’ll ever see another Harry Potter level book again, at least in our lifetimes.
My take is we’ve already left the golden ages of movies, music, and books and probably won’t get another for an extremely long time.
Video games are going through the same downfall which streaming services brought. Physical media left the movie scene as a standard while ago, but video games took longer. Now it’s going to be all streaming and subscriptions where you can never own anything.
Once that happens, enshittification will peak, companies won’t be incentivized to make the games good anymore, standards tank, and people will forget how good things once were.
Doesn’t Fediverse mean “these applications can federate with each other”? How would you federate with Lemmy without ActivityPub?
If there are multiple protocols, then that defeats the entire purpose of a protocol. If Matrix and ActivityPub are in the Fediverse, then Facebook and Twitter should be, too.
Facebook can’t talk with Twitter, so they aren’t federated with each other. Same goes for ActivityPub and Matrix. Fediverse doesn’t mean “has a federated protocol”. It means “these applications are federated with each other” (from what I understand).
The Fediverse uses the ActivityPub protocol. This allows everything in it to communicate with each other. Lemmy can’t communicate with Matrix since Matrix is a different protocol.
IMO he can contribute all he wants. His PRs will still have to go through someone else (i.e. the new maintainer / lead dev). I don’t care if he adds new code. That’s much appreciated.
Toxicity is more of an issue if you’re the maintainer since you have control over the project.
I’m very close to pulling the trigger on Graphene. One question though - usually when I try open source / secure alternatives to some popular software the UI is janky and super old looking.
Is Graphene like this with their custom apps / UI stuff? Will I notice? Or is it identical to the stock OS UI design?
Why not? I thought it had very good security. It’s E2E encrypted and the government of France uses it.

They can’t drive off the side of the road and run into the forest or something?
This article is about water found on mars… Did you reply to the wrong post? I don’t see anything about colonization.
The main thing keeping my partner from leaving Big Tech services is that Proton Calendar and other basic functionality sucks balls. The pricing plan is great but for the love of God, fix the basics and stop with all the new nonsense like AI and crypto.
Trans fats aren’t preservatives are they? I thought they were for texture / taste.
Very weird that birthdate is an arbitrary text field. No way to know what format to put it in, so Proton doesn’t know how to parse it.
Which I’m really confused about. They have a LOT of paying users. They must be able to afford good devs. Where is all this money going? I want to see a breakdown of their expenses. That might not be outside the realm of reality now that they’re a nonprofit.

AFAIK you can get around this by using raw pointers / unsafe blocks in Rust, then have a human target those to rewrite it in a safe, structured way.
Where do they say anything like that? I’ve been following them very closely for years and they’ve always been super transparent that there isn’t one solution. They also do a lot of work to prevent trash from getting to the ocean in the first place.
