You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
I will say, as I’ve grown older and more jaded, I’ve been finding the GPL more and more appealing…
Edit: Oh wow, why did a year old post show up at the top of “Hot”, sorry about bumping.
Out of interest, since Chromium is open source, is there anything stopping Opera, Edge, Brave, etc. just mantaining support for the old manifest? Like, I’m not sure why this is such a big deal for anything other than Chrome and Chromium.
1·1 year agoIMO it’s pretty much the same case as email. With email you send data to some remote server which may or may not reside in the EU.
I’m not really sure what argument you can make that fediverse apps but not email break gdpr.
Or even something as simple as putting your email on a public website that may be visited by someone in the US.
You can actually see this here; beehaw recently blocked lemmy.world , so as far as Beehaw is aware, lemmy.world “doesn’t exist”.
As you can see, old posts remain on the instance (unless the admins go and remove them), but new posts don’t get received. I think you might be able to post on Beehaw’s mirror, but they won’t get shared with any other instances.
Of course, this is all subject to change in some future Lemmy version, because this sort of thing can be confusing and counter intuitive.
Fun fact: If you google those codes you find out that they are “real” codes, but they don’t actually activate Windows. I think they are something that are used as placeholders in the upgrade from Windows 8 to 10 or something, but don’t know the specifics.
ChatGPT actually can’t create new “words”, just regurgitate words that it’s seen somewhere before!
At the bottom of each page, there’s a link for “instances”, which shows who the current instance has blocked.
I joined Beehaw early on when things where a lot quieter because I liked what they were trying to do (and back then there were only like two instances, and I didn’t want to put more load on lemmy.ml).
Joined sh.itjust.works to make a community after the sysadmin just casually walked up with a huge server, which is a level of swagger I can get behind. I’ve since moved to this as my “main” account since Beehaw defederated with lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works (which sucks, but is understandable).
May move again to pawb.social at some point, although that means people will know something about me. :P
Edit: And now pawb.social has defederated with sh.itjust.works… I’m getting more and more tempted to just roll my own personal instance just for me…
From a technical standpoint, there is no real difference, it comes down to how the instance owner feels it’s best to run the server.
Ultimately, instances (or at least the ones most people want to join) want to keep rulebreakers, trolls and spam out. There are two main ways of doing this:
Of course, there is a lot of debate as to which of these methods are better (beehaw, for example, fundamentally doesn’t think a reactive approach can work at all), which causes tension between some instances.
This tension can rise to a point where one instance “defederates” from another, meaning they stop talking to each other and you can’t interact with one if you have an account with the other.
