They don't have to be, as far as I understand it. I've installed a few websites as apps on my phone (because their app had trackers in it) and they can work really well. Examples are Bluesky and Flipboard.
An example where I agree with you is LinkedIn - installed as a web app due to trackers - but they know this, and the whole point of their app is to get you with Facebook and Microsoft trackers, so they make the web app experience miserable on purpose.
But (and correct me if I'm wrong) a PWA made by a non-surveillance capitalist could be just as good as a native app.
Valid. Except on some browsers e.g. Vivaldi you can put sites on a list that retain their cookies even when you clear the rest.
Why not a PWA?
It says "Payments are made after exchanging existing money into electronic money with the help of an Exchange service, that is, a payment service provider for Taler."
Do they say anywhere who that payment service provider is? And are there options for who to use?
What is the relationship of fiat currency to tokens? is it €1:1 token?
Good tip! I had heard of them, but they fell off the list somehow. I'll add them in soon. thank you!
We just put some of these privacy alternatives on a map: https://www.rebeltechalliance.org/stopusingbigtech.html (scroll down)
What's missing is anything truly FOSS with no fixed country of origin, but it's still fun to see how some of the main players spread out.
Enjoy!
Is there not a service like Bandcamp, but for movies and TV?
I want to pay for stuff, so the creators are rewarded, and then I own a copy.
Is Emby totally self hosted (like Jellyfin)? Or do they host your stuff (like Plex)?
Can access this via Duck AI, and compare to other models on the fly.
I'm running Mint, and have an external USB drive plugged in. It is not powered - it gets its power from the mini-PC.
Occasionally I get this message and I've no idea why. It might be after rebooting the machine but I'm not sure (sorry).
The only thing I did with the drive is rename it (to "1tbDrive"). Could that be the problem? (I did that in the Disks application).
I'm trying to find out where the development is at right now for ActivityPub, specifically about data (posts) portability, and persistent IDs.
For the former I think that's fairly self-explanatory, I'm just trying to get a flavour of if it's a priority, who's working on it, what the anticipated timeline is etc. It's a clear advantage that ATproto has, so are we trying to close the gap?
By the latter I mean is there work happening to work towards us being able to have one ID that can be used to log in to any fediverse network (as per nostr)? This approach makes so much sense to me - is it even possible?
The link here to W3.org doesn't seem that up to date - but I'm not that knowledgable so may have misinterpreted that site. So I'm looking for education on this subject 😊

Would SSO every be possible with ActivityPub?
Like if you built a new app (network) on AP and allow people to sign in with their Mastodon handle?
