This is absurd anyway.

There is something working out there which can be implemented by anyone even including entire countries and we keep seeing YouTube links everywhere. Even NASA gave up their streaming service. It once supported any kind of player and they didn’t even need to pay for it. Any streaming host will carry NASA TV, they may even pay extra for the privilege.

This isn’t ignorance, some people are getting paid big time. Also a reminder for countries other than USA: You are using a American company service which is bound to American laws. You are also sending your citizens and their money to a foreign service.

This is what so called open ai does. It isn’t open even in the sense of open group Unix. I just feel pity for American tax payers as elections are near. Both of these people have significant say in US/World politics.

Remember even large corporations standardising on truly open protocols can be reversed after whatever the situation leading up to it is resolved.

I just remember Jabber/XMPP federation which included Google. Once Google decided they got big enough, they abandoned it. Of course nothing happened to the protocol itself, it is well and alive both on Fortune 500 and selected as official choice for presence protocol on internet2.edu

I don’t like bluesky because I don’t like it’s owner. I don’t like the owner because he thinks everyone is dumb and forgot the fact that nobody pointed a gun on his face to sell Twitter to some Arab dictators.

Actually after noticing the general user profile here, I plan another exodus to some place else.

What we need is something that is a) Private (not saying nc isn’t) b) Independent of any judicial government c) P2P and ultra redundant d) Run by a true non-profit (not like openAI) e) Massively distributed, process wise and storage wise f) OS independent, written in pure C or Rust.

I would absolutely recommend KDE Neon distribution as it comes with current, stable KDE. https://neon.kde.org . It is a Ubuntu LTS as well.

It is SteamOS based on Gentoo.

It became a very serious risk for celebrities as Musk now wants biometric data from blue ticks. That guy will try to micromanage that too and some huge RL issues will happen.

I remember back in 2000s 2 or 3 guys were so misinformed that Bruce Wills himself joined the comments and explained the movie industry doesn’t work that way. Of course they didn’t believe it was him and they ended up being video called by him to “prove” it is really him. I will find that page one day. In the 90s it was common that a famous actor/producer discuss ongoing things with the fans.

In the apps introduction screen, it says it will soon integrate to Fediverse. I believe people are afraid from another, much worse “eternal September” happening. It happened to Usenet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September
