To be fair, federated social media is a very different "beast". I wouldn't say that I want all social media to go away myself, but I think the idea of monopolistic ad-driven social media (what I now call corporate social media) is harmful to society, doesn't scale well to the larger world and importantly doesn't condone meaningful discussion. In that regard, I could say that I don't want corporate social media or at least want that experience to be partly sandboxed.

I've been using Brave on my Windows install. I think it's OK compared to Firefox, but I can't help but feel like all the UI and terminology is very "crypto" tailored.

Anyway, I think this feature is a good idea. I didn't even realize this was a big problem with modern OSes. Out of curiosity, do port scanning features like this escape application sandboxes? (Like flatpak, docker containers, etc?)

One good reason to support AMD is to also support 3rd party card vendors and manufacturers imo. Otherwise, for Nvidia, I got nothing.

Because it's a big waste of time and won't get anywhere. The fact that mastodon has been a thing since 2018 (or earlier) unopposed means that they will have a really hard time proving that they ever had any trade ownership over the concept of microblogging.

I haven't seen any federated content at all today short of a few posts here or there. I expected to see more from beehaw but I haven't seen much at all.

In general I will say that I find federated services to be more reasonable and willing to discuss topics without going down the path of pure hostility when compared to corporate social media. It also helps when you have active moderation teams that actively believe in the service their using and police bad behavior!

I am honestly shocked that it's not higher than that.

We just have to EEE them back. It will be a like a classic anime beam war.

They were too busy being enamored by (wanking over) how it references blue sky research. When they were part of twitter, the name made some semblance of sense, but is particularly stupid now that they're trying to make their own service.

All for me and none for you

The classic motto of a company that's simply too big and is asking to be broken up.

Does this include emails as well? If so, I guess I'll have to migrate over to another email service.
