ssorbom , to technology in Porn age verification law is unconstitutional, says judge

There’s a big difference between identifying yourself to a neutral ISP versus identifying yourself to the government. In general, I’m not that skeptical of government, but this is one issue where I worry about the right wing loonies getting their way. God help us if it’s ever criminalized

ssorbom , to technology in Amazon tests new star ratings that are even harder to read

To be fair, I think it is reasonable to rate things you have no complaints about as high as possible. If I see a rating with three stars, I assume that it was okay with a few rough spots. I like the idea that all products start out as five stars unless there is something really wrong, and you start knocking points for problems.

ssorbom , to selfhosted in Raspberry pi 4 inside abandoned scooters

S/He is not. Even one blocked sidewalk means that I need to double back on the block if I am using my wheelchair. One scooter is all it takes, and depending on the length of the block, it can easily add 20 minutes to a commute.

ssorbom , to selfhosted in Is it detrimental to the Fediverse network to self host, for only oneself, a Federated service?

Have you tried conduit? I am joined to rooms with several thousand users each, and I’m not really suffering any slowdowns except during initial sync. Conduit seems to be running happily at half a gig of RAM, and CPU usage is minimal

ssorbom , to selfhosted in Your favorite "next-gen" matrix server

I am surprised so few people are mentioned conduit here. Last I checked, it was running at only 500 MB of RAM. I don’t have any app services installed though, and I’m the only user on my instance.

ssorbom , to technology in Microsoft in EU antitrust crosshairs over Teams, Office tying

Funny, I do remember thinking yesterday that having teams installed by default is basically Internet explorer all over again. On the other hand, from what I’ve seen I don’t think most companies really care and that they would install teams anyway. The integration with the rest of Microsoft is really convenient from a business perspective. My work uses it, and teams is scary efficient at scheduling meetings. Far better than zoom.

ssorbom , to piracy in CHROME (google) is planing to implement DRM (kinda) into their browser

You won’t have a choice if it’s a bank or your job. This is the truly insidious thing, if enough important websites start demanding the standard, you might just end up forcing yourself off of the internet with that attitude

ssorbom , to technology in TIL there is an fediverse alternative to Discord

Yes. Matrix uses an integrated jitsi widget for voice and video. It is unfortunately not quite as polished as discord for voice and video, but it does work.

ssorbom , to technology in TIL there is an fediverse alternative to Discord

It integrates with jitsi, which is a fairly good tried and proven solution. Meanwhile, The matrix developers are working on their own implementation of voice and video that plays a bit nicer with their room permission system. For one to one conversations, there is a turn-based solution for voice and video.

ssorbom , to technology in TIL there is an fediverse alternative to Discord

First, it’s federated, meaning that different instances of discord can talk to each other, much like Lemmy.

Second, it allows for encryption. Matrix uses the same double ratchet algorithm present in signal.

Third, joining groups is optional. This is perhaps the biggest user interface difference between discord and matrix. Each conversation exists in a independent channel, or room as they are called. Rooms can be grouped together the way you would see in discord, but they usually exist independently of the groupings. Incidentally, matrix groups are called spaces. There are edge cases where rooms are not independent from spaces, but by and large it is not something most users will have to worry about.

I actually find it nice compared to discord. It’s simple. If you need more complex moderation in matrix, there are bots you can use

ssorbom , to lemmyshitpost in the API changes occur tomorrow, gentlemen, it's been an honor (inb4 Lemmy completely crashes)

Even as somebody who has never used, and will likely never need Apollo, I am really grateful for what he did. However unintentionally, I think he ripped the mask off how rotten the management structure was. It’s one thing to sell ads and collect hidden metadata. Pretty much all the apps do it. But the whole way Reddit treated him was beyond despicable.

ssorbom , to lemmyshitpost in the API changes occur tomorrow, gentlemen, it's been an honor (inb4 Lemmy completely crashes)

Didn’t the Apollo developer say that he was planning on porting his app to the fediverse?

ssorbom , to nostupidquestions in How are lemmy and other fediverse platforms profitable?

Personally, I like the way the haiku project does it. They have a bar with how much they need on the website and as they get more donations, the bar starts filling up. I think the most important thing is to be transparent about your costs.
