Is this regarding lead pipes in homes? Or are some pipes of whole neighbourhoods or cities also still made of lead?

AI is not going to come op with a solution and he knows it.

What really helps is that fediverse users are quite aware of the ideology behind federated social networks. I think, indeed, they won't all stay on a server that is federated with Threads if it threatens the fedi network.

It's part of the reason you don't see the lemmy.world instance in the lemmy server browser.

On join-lemmy.org you mean? I didn't know that, but that's great to see. Lemmy.world has become pretty big.

Even if, for instance, Threads was widely allowed to federate with Mastodon servers?

Do you think Lemmy and other parts of the fediverse will eventually enshittify? I think this would be an interesting discussion to have. There currently is not financial incentive like the ones that have led centralized platforms to enshittify. But there might be in the future. Does decentralization protect against that tendency in some way?

Lemmy and Mastodon do give me the hope, that when one platform turns to shit, there will be people creating a platform that - for the time being - is not.

I get your point. But we’d probably adjust if there’s less releases, I think. More choice might not be better when it comes to the planet and it’s natural resources. And we’re now at a point where phones barely change when compared to the year before.

If there’s a new iPhone every two years, you can still decide when the improvements justify upgrading for you.

Good. We don’t (anymore) need a new iPhone / MacBook / iPad every year. Only when the improvements are substantial. Now they’re just adding and changing things to make it seem like anything changed at all compared to the previous generation of devices.

What? Each phone costs them hundreds of dollars to make. The profit margin is still large, but phones are not cheap to make.

I’m sorry, but I don’t believe it is. Nearly all traffic is TLS. When this is attacked, you’d get TLS error. Am I missing something?

That must’ve been quite a while ago

It sorta protected Chrome's monopoly in the browser world for years. Now that they've established that monopoly firmly, it's time to crack down on things that diminish monetisation.

Should your disappointment here really be pointed at the journalists?
