Companies change licences, sometimes for bad, sometimes for good. Nothing new.

I really like the idea of Nix, but having to have GitHub account to publish a package is a big no for me, even if I have one.

Honestly, personally I do not mind ads. But the amount of garbage that is loaded in the browser on popular sites make uBlock necessary for me.

It’s just Windows holding back the industry again. X86 could be long gone if MacOS and Linux would be most popular.

At this point why not just run… no software? A plain Linux VPS server. And plain files.

You can do two-way sync with Syncthing or Unison. One way sync with rsync. Can mount external or network drives for almost unlimited storage expansions. Easy access from mobile devices via SFTP. Everything with single (passwordless) login for every member. And above all run any arbitrary command.

Great to show Linux swag.

True. So much Fediverse on them is a problem, but there is a reason why this is.

Really cheap, easy to scale, fast UI, no trackers, perfect IPv6 support, great CLI. And they are not a big tech, just a big hosting provider, nothing that could be against user freedom.

100% someday they will use the approved CPU list to have only those with secure boot/locked bootloader enforcing only their approved operating systems too.

Most problems of the current Fediverse is because of how the Internet was build.

Current Internet has no social identity format, no open micropayment standard, no encryption by default so apps must reinvent their own, metadata leakages, namespaces like IP addresses and domains having centralized control, firewalls, NATs and other roadblocks disallowing most devices to host stuff…

Half of the Fediverse is hosted on Hetzner and the second half mostly on other big providers. User IDs are controlled by server admins. Even Nostr is just a band aid with it’s relays doing something Internet should be able to do - send data from device to device.
