fixed again. jeebus.
Updated with a new link from EBU.
I think throwing around vague but scary-sounding terms like "compromised" is a very bad idea.
This Tech Won't Save Us podcast episode makes a very important point: any movement that does not have a structure and some form of leadership can easily be taken over by anyone willing and able to fill that kind of power vacuum.
Fediverse currently does not have a structure nor a form of leadership other than perhaps "whatever Mastodon is doing". That's problematic. I hope that we recognize this and do something to fix it, before that power vacuum gets filled by… someone we might not like.
I do see that the researchers involved in the OP link are Erin Kissane and Darius Kazemi. That's fantastic. They are truly fedi old guard, deeply engaged, very knowledgeable, and generally wonderful human beings.
Will we get tabbed/grouped windows finally again? Been waiting for this for ~~half~~ more than a decade.
Actually, if we're nit-picking, it means "Personal Computer", but the colloquial meaning has shifted somewhat since the good old IBM times to first mean desktop computers (as opposed to laptops), and then to mean non-Apple computers (including laptops), which for most people means "a computer that runs Windows."
Which is the basis of my heavy sigh.
They should have asked the candidate about the crying baby. Maybe it was not theirs? Maybe he was so stressed he blocked it out?
Instead of being human and humane, the company interviewer acted like a robot, trying to find a catch not to hire the guy. Note: the interviewer also had to ignore the crying baby and not acknowledge it on the call! What if the baby was in danger?
Revolting. Corporate drone brain-worms.
The concept of copyright did not exist for most of human history. The current shape of copyright and paying for culture is antiquated and puts creators at a disadvantage.
Instead of pondering if anyone can stop "digital piracy", we should be pondering how to reform the copyright regime such that sharing culture is not considered "piracy", and such that artists get paid. Rip out the middle-men.
The problem with AI is the problem with capitalism.
Hiper-capitalists like Andreessen Horowitz, who had been pushing cryptocurrencies for a long while and still seems to be doing so, have vested interests in generating the AI-hype.

Looks like KBin has an edge over Lemmy now in terms of monthly active users.
It's obviously a pretty silly thing, and is not in any way indicative of which project is "better" or more "long-term viable" or anything — instances of both federate with one another, and with the rest of fedi, so it's all one happy family.
That said, it's notable. KBin is a relative newcomer to the "Reddit-like fedi instance" game, and also does not have the tankie baggage.
Anyway, the more, the merrier!

Well duh. "PC" means "Windows", obviously.

HAproxy cannot serve static files directly. You need a webserver behind it for that.
Apache is slow.
Nginx is both a capable, fast reverse-proxy, and a capable, fast webserver. It can do everything HAproxy does, and what Apache does, and more.
I am not saying it is absolutely best for every use-case, but this flexibility is a large part of why I use it in my infra (nad have been using it for a decade).
