3rd party, in america, is mathematically and sociologically a waste of a vote
you have FPTP; you do not have STV or RCV etc

okay so you’re making a choice that as long as you’re not involved it’s okay for trump to win
cool cool cool so vote for trump and things get even worse for the palestinians
again, reality is fucked but that doesn’t change that it’s reality… work within the bounds of what’s possible rather than pissing into the wind because you don’t like the options
you can be done with it as much as you like but that doesn’t change reality… FPTP is absolute shit: vote for the lesser evil or you get the greater evil… that’s just the way it is
want something different? you have to change the system first
that’s just reality. deal with it or vulnerable people die and hate wins
yeah stupid people like most tech workers who just need their tech to work as expected rather than be “customisable”
there’s value in the “just works” when not working costs you hundreds of $ per hour that it doesn’t work
$2000 for a phone is nothing when it’s a professional device
also nothing that looks the same for the annoying time when you do have to do some analog copying
no I, l, or | and i usually avoid ‘, “, !, /, \ (which one was it again?) and a few others that i have set in my password manager
okay, so it seems as though disregarding android usage of LTS seems reasonable because whilst it shouldn’t be this way, nothing will actually change
which is kinda the point of LTS right? or does LTS for kernel mean additional things?
okay but all that “technically possible but nobody has written the software yet” is incredibly unhelpful
it’s technically possible to run every windows app perfectly in WINE but nobody has implemented a bunch of the APIs without bugs yet
i will never understand the US’s obsession with “consistent” housing
HTTPS is heavy when you’re talking about the extreme low power, bandwidth, and compute devices matter is intending to support
its also not a broadcast protocol - matter intends to connect many devices to many devices
those are off the top of my head; i’m sure there are more. HTTP is great, but new/alternate network protocols aren’t inherently bad: especially when you’re operating in a very constrained/niche environment
sure, but a $1m over how many causes? i’d assume they don’t really even use freebsd, considering macos was based in openbsd? so i’d suggest that an employee match is pretty decent
i happen to agree with your point, however i don’t think it’s kind to people with a disability to use that disability as an insult
probably best not to call people retards if you want to stay on the high road
the protocol that allows instances to communicate is, but AFAIK there’s an API that apps use… the protocol is kinda just for how to push raw bulk data around, whilst the instance itself does things like filter based on “top”, “hot”, etc
also, in activitypub things like the actor (user), each comment, post, etc are individual objects which must be requested individually (or in a list via a search i think?), so any app that communicates via activitypub would need to make hundreds of requests to the instance to display a single post, comments, and user information!
also as a kbin user
god damn i want a native kbin app!
you’re missing the fact that google chat and XMPP is a totally different situation… they used an open protocol; they didn’t open their backend
sure, but an open source UI isn’t going to change that… they’d just close the source!
sure you can fork it, but you can also just copy the UI to an open source clone
imagine if twitter were activitypub: kinda like having an OSS backend with a proprietary front end… i’d bet the move to mastodon would be far quicker… network effects keep people on twitter… same here with OSS backend: we can reimplement the UI and people will have the same experience
sure as shit works for most LGBTQIA+!
