I mean... everyone is free to spend their money on what they want pretty much, but the marginal benefit of these 500k on the Harris campaign is very low, while the same money would go a long way supporting Fediverse development and maintenance.
Secretly behind the backs of the official community council and not many months later started to turn Gitea into an open-core product.
And they also demand a CLA from contributors now, which is directly against the idea of FOSS.
I was a bit sceptical about the justification of this fork in the beginning as well, but time has proven the Forgejo team to be sadly completely right.
Many people have not used XMPP in years or never and go by hearsay of outdated information.
Matrix on the other hand had several million Euros of venture-capital to fund a marketing campaign.
@mrmanager@lemmy.today tagging users in the top post doesn't work. Only in comments.
For all practical purposes Matrix is run by a private for profit and venture-capital funded company called Element / New Vector.
This was basically a lucky catch. Sadly makes you wonder how many backdoors like that have not been found (yet). Never the less the distro model of not feeding in upstream binaries directly is an important part of the multi-barrier security.
That's not exactly what nomadic identity is about, although it can also help with that.
The way nomadic identity is implemented in Hubzilla for example is that you can have accounts on multiple servers and by importing a shared cryptographic identity into all of them, other servers know to treat them as a single entity. Once that is established you can log into your account on any of the linked servers and use it normally. But if a server goes down or you decide to delete your account on one, you can seamlessly continue to use everything from another linked server.
Maybe the best part of the FP5 that is talked about little is that the main SoC is not a consumer grade Qualcomm chip, but an industrial grade one that will get driver and firmware upgrades for a much longer time than the consumer ones.
In addition it is fairly similar to other slightly older Qualcomm chips that already have main-line Linux kernel support, so the prospects of running Mobian or PostmarketOS on it are quite good.
The problem is that the lemmy.ml admins decided to bulk delete these posts from their database directly, which sadly doesn't federate out to other instances, and thus the only way to solve this is for other instances to also delete them directly in their database.
RSS and ATOM are just a way to format an XML file that can be downloaded from a server. There is nothing special about it otherwise and it is strictly one way as its just downloading a file.
Windows drivers only.
If you are on a spyware platform, what can you expect otherwise?
"Special Military Operation" is the current popular term I believe /s
