I use Fedora and I don’t understand this

I just want to pound my coffee and get to work. I finally gravitated to Fedora because it’s clean and just works. Too much setup on my Arch and Gentoo installs with way too much breakage. It’s fun to customize and tweak distros like those to an obsessive degree, until you actually need to get work done.

snap would be better then installing from manual archives, but it’s comparisons are actually to your distro’s package manager and flatpak.

I think the massive privacy benefits outweigh things like that, which should be documented properly anyways

To actually keep data persistent on IPFS and not be deleted by the garbage collector, you need to have a server(s) pin the node that holds that data.

You either host these servers yourself, or pay providers to store it for you.

And at that point you just reinvented a server simply hosting your data but with extra steps.

There’s a big issue with this.

If malicious content like CP gets uploaded on to a server, obviously other servers do not want this to be replicated to their servers. So how would you solve this problem? Well they could give all moderation power to the original server they’re replicating, but that could be far too slow or they could even miss malicious content like this. Or maybe they even disagree about taking down certain things.

Another solution is that any server participating in the content mirroring could take it down for just themselves or for all the other members as well. The issue here is now you’re expanding moderation abilities, while also giving the other servers much more responsibilities.

It’s not as simple as wanting to replicate content. If you host it, you are responsible for any illegal content a user may upload to it. Not to mention laws vary by country as well. Ignoring the technical challenges here, it’s also mandatory that the other servers replicate the other servers data to also choose to be responsible for what gets uploaded. And that is a really big ask. The law doesn’t care about the technical reasons, they’ll just see illegal content uploaded to your server.

Personally I’m in the camp that I want history to be lost. That’s part of the appeal to me. In fact my favorite feature in the fedi is Mastodon’s option to enable auto-deleting posts of a certain age.

Only content that is explicitly pinned or reaches a certain amount of interactions should be saved imo. Since that’s the stuff you’d actually want to preserve rather than the 99% of forgettable content, and it would also drastically cut down on file hosting.

Another thing is that a federation should only act as the exchange between users on ActivityPub. It should only cache relevant information and not be expected to store everything, like I wrote before. The user should be a portable account that is stored on a device. The federation server would sync your account between your devices, but not store it. You send your content to the federation, and then the federation sends it out into the world where they choose to do what they want with it. The federation shouldn’t hoard it indefinitely.

Also this makes sense from a privacy perspective. If you care about privacy, why would you also want all your data indefinitely stored? Unless certain things are relevant and explicitly kept, it should be expected to expire and be lost by default. Where did we get this expectation that data should be stored forever? Also you expect it to be stored forever and not be trained on by AI?

This comment for example, after about a week or two most of the visibility and interaction of it will drop to zero. At that point, this comment should expire and no longer exist. I wrote this comment, it reached some people, and served it’s purpose and should expire. I’m not going to pretend like this comment is some kind of historic document that should be indefinitely preserved, nor do I expect or want it to be.

Well it’s “allegedly” decentralized, which should solve this by design…

Wow that art is really beautiful! Love the color and art style.

Big W change. EU should try to copy this idea.

Great victory, but just they’re just going to try yet again.

Glad to see it is built on top of the Solid protocol. Cuz I was going to say it sounded familiar!

Hey you actually made something and should be really proud of that

I agree, but if you want js off while web browsing, you’re already in that advanced tech circle and are a part of that demographic.

uh what are you even talking about?? It has block-buster console sellers like Concord

Let me know when the PC version gets announced, otherwise the product simply doesn’t exist for me.

Been waiting for them to get into mobile gaming. Hopefully they’ll force their mobile storefront to be less predatory. Maybe they’ve been waiting for when they could get a mobile/android game sold on their store to be playable on every other device, like how you expect with your purchases right now.

Failed. I have been infected by the humorous.

Why is it unbelievable lol. Development is relatively a small team, content isn’t that ton but thoughtful, and it’s the most sold game out there. How else would they deliver this product? Did u pay for the latest Lemmy server update?
