Sometimes you really get into a project for no good reason, it’s happened to me

No I agree that depending on china isn’t ideal, but at some point you can’t go it alone.

As if the US is a better trade partner, like let’s be real

Now elemt calling is all integrated like on discord, if your homeserver supports it. Also available on other clients but I don’t quite remember which ones.

Honestly for visual programming scratch is really great to get kids or even adults to learn scratch, since it’s basically the exact same thing, just easier since you don’t have to worry about syntax.

Stuff like the unity block system is also extremely powerful, and lets designers configure, say, a characters movement much easier.

MDA, honestly I don’t know much about it, but from the description in the image it sounds like it still requires someone to “write a universal model”

I think the idea is that someone at the company could just take an already existing model and deploy it, not sure though.

The state media isn’t controlled by the state, they’re just as independent as the corporate media. The media atmosphere is a valid reason to leave, but don’t say you’re “heavily targeted by the state”.

Not directly related, but you can see it in the post. I also really don’t like how agressive Graphene is about other projects and how set in their ways they are about gps, it really put me off the project.

n.1 is the model 3, kind of a misleading headline

I don’t want google play services on my phone at all, sandboxed gps still sucks ass for privacy

still can’t use it on degoogled android phones /:

tbf the 40 years after the french revolution were called “the terror”

I genuinely can’t imagine doing marketing this tonedeaf

Beeper’s old clients (now called beeper cloud) were based on element, but their new ones are fully inhouse.

reminds me of one of the main mbin instances, moist.catsweat.com

It is actually decentralised as far as I can tell, although I would like to point out that bluesky is also decentralised, while bsky.app has dominant market share, nothing stops anyone from hosting their own, completely independent, instance. Some have already done so.

It is on nostr, I don’t like the protocol very much but it is decentralised

The HUD goggles are starting to exist, not the way you described it but the technology is starting to get there.

Out of curiosity, what features does x11 have that are essential to you?

Page won’t load for me ):

It’s always funny to me that blue means left to americans.

Looks like it worked
