ждём штрафов нестандартно выглядящим цис-людям Уже были прецеденты что им предъявляли за вид, интересно как собираются со штрафами доказывать/опровергать
Есть недалеко тут одно место, где не так давно был круглосуточный алкомагазин, торгующий по ночам в нарушение, а сейчас там районный штаб Единой России.
@shuro знаю я один магазинчик, который торгует алкашкой на против ментовки. Однажды, в час ночи, я зашёл что бы взять баночку и наткнулся на мента, который выбирал пиво. Он оглянулся на меня; я встал в ступор, не зная что делать в этой ситуации, а он отвернулся на стеллаж с энергетиками и сделал вид, что он на пиво не смотрел. Я ещё две секунды постоял в смятении, после чего, он развернулся и ушёл ни с чем. 👮♂️ а я пева купил))
Лет десять назад шёл по вечерним дворам Питера с банкой в руке, вдруг сзади вспышка проблесковых и уи-уи. Я такой "да блин" и поворачиваюсь к машине лицом, ожидая развития сюжета. А оттуда снова мне уи-уи - мол, с дороги-то отойди, дай проехать 😀
Да нет, ты похоже шаман. Лет 10 мне везло видеть этих букашек только на фото. Но после просмотра твоей фотки, сегодня у друзей дома я увидела аж двух (во время готовки ужина). Ты что-то знал и пытался меня предупредить! Придётся с бОльшим вниманием относиться к твоим пророческим постам в ленте 🤔
so far it seems like an over-marketed unfinished piece of vaporware. there was nothing to look at when it was first dripped months ago. or when the magical countdown stopped. or when no one received beta invites despite it being 'this week'
just seems like a lot of spamming the fed community now. happy to be proven wrong
It's also one of the best ways to advertise as a small content creator. The internet hates self-promotion with a passion, but short form videos? People love that shit.
Because wanting braindead content that you don't have to think about or form a critical opinion over is a valid request. There's a big reason the Fediverse doesn't see widespread adoption: the content sucks, it's all politics from the farther edges of every end of the spectrum and FOSSbro tech discussion that's about as insufferable as cryptobro subreddits.
If the Fediverse wants to attract more people, then it needs to start expanding into what those other people actually want. They don't want to have a furry with a Stalin profile pic explain Linux kernel to them, they want to laugh at inconsequential videos of children falling into things that they can leave a "heart" on and quickly share a link to their friend with.

I'm okay with more people, but not those people. We are here in the Fediverse for some degree of quality, of which furries explaining the Linux kernel is one example of kind.
Can’t see this doing well, who’s gonna want to host it and pay the bandwidth and storage costs?
I know people would be willing to do that for a YT alternative, but I don’t think there’s many people who want to shell out so some kid can post their cringe dance video.
Also, who tf gonna use it? I’d imagine Tik Tok users are the social media group that cares the least about the fediverse, open source, and privacy…
I don't really get why people scroll through short-form video, but at least there's an opensource alternative in the works... Will be interesting to see if they allow non-loops users to contribute bandwidth because hosting all of those videos will be expensive af.
I like it for language learning. The books gets tedious as hell but some people have excellent short videos to help remember things and hear them pronounced by native speakers.
It’s easy block keywords so you don’t get dancing or politics, or at least, you can reduce it. The algorithm is also very good at serving your interests so if someone tells me all they’re seeing is dancing videos then it tells me they’ve been lingering on those for some reason 😀
I’ve also found it a great resource for novel and practical info about: - Cooking - ADHD & Autism - Music production with Logic Pro - Human rights news - Creativity
People who care about decentralisation, privacy and data sovereignty etc are usually smart enough to understand that endless feeds of short form video is the new asbestos. You'd have better luck selling big macs to vegans.
There are lots of reasons to want alternatives to social media mega-corps, and the people with those reasons have varied likes and hobbies.\ Even amongst the people who care about privacy, decentralization, etc, people still have varied interests. All you have to do is look at the popularity of Tiktok content about privacy, security, programming, etc.
Dude is a basement dweller, and just assumed that was the norm for everyone who shared an interest with him.
I have my own thoughts about hurdles that loops will face, but "fediverse is for snobs" isn't it.
Yep. Agreed - except it is yet another avenue for monetization should it take hold. People keep acting like the fediverse is some kind of incorruptible platform.
hear me out. The toxicity of social mefia comes from algorithms and advertising. Lots of short videos by the community can be fun/interesting and not addictive/ brain rotting.
endless feeds of short form video is the new asbestos
that's like saying Mastodon is bad because Twitter ruined society, I mean how often do you find yourself raging endlessly at Mastodon.
I would love to have a chill way of scrolling these videos without having to live with one of the evils.
That being said i am also sceptical if this is it, I mean why do they want my email?
Tiktok is the type of social that is meant to redirect people elsewhere, I don't know, I think that this could work with the Fedi. Tiktok doesn't really pay it's creator well AFAIK.
I'm not sure how they're going to attract creators, when Tiktok already has the same features, has a larger audience, and pays... But I hope they can because I'd love to dump Tiktok for something open source.
I wonder how their FYP will work, because honestly that's a huge part of what makes Tiktok good.
This is entirely possible through Mastodon/Misskey apps but not having it bound to local data would be awesome. Predictive engines are something most people want an ethical alternative for.

Wi-Fi карту я получил, для справки это Intel AX210 под брендом EDUP. Я был в ахуе, когда увидел, что пропускная способность сети заметно подросла с 433 до 866 Мбит/с.
Есть проблема с Bluetooth - в комплекте имеется провод на 9-пиновый штекер, но на материнской плате кроме встроенного USB-хаба на передную панель больше негде вставить, поэтому я заказал в озоне разветвитель на два 9-пиновых разъема.
День свиданий в тюрьме (зачеркн.) Автовокзал на Обводном канале. Даже более впечатляюще, чем РЖД. Лучше, конечно, ехать на нелегалах, потому что в эту «зону» я добровольно – ни ногой! #ТеатрБезопасности
тоже вокзалов стал избегать. Один раз за двадцатые годы ездил и то вынуждено. Был как раз пригожинский шум, к нам федералку перекрыли, пришлось по железке добиратся. А так ни-ни
а по железке сколько лет ходили! и на дачи, и туристами, и просто по делам. а сейчас железка стала какой-то враждебной зоной, обнесённой заборами. стало отвратительно и всем неудобно.
у нас индустриальный город. узловой, можно сказать. и много продукции возят именно по ж/д. железки много, во все стороны. она идёт ко всем крупным заводам и через леса. удобно идти по насыпи, когда вокруг хмарь и болота на километры. и в городе мы раньше по железке от района до района ходили: прямой и кратчайший путь. а сейчас всё позакрыли заборами. стало какое-то подобие зоны.
а ещё эти заботливые прокрусты приварили к ступенькам по паре стальных швеллеров. типа, "забота" об инвалидах и тех, кто с колясками и велосипедами. улон градусов 60. сизифы, вперёд! тут все нормы ГТО разом можно сдать, не сходя с места. "американские горки" нервно курят в сторонке. а швеллеры только мешают тем отважным пешеходам, которые карабкаются по ступенькам и пытаются держаться за перила, чтобы не упасть. а перила, конечно, стальные. чтобы навека, и чтобы получше к ним примерзать зимой.
Да, с пандусами у нас вообще интересно, причём на них и стандарты есть, но на практике я во время поездок на работу велосипед по таким лестницам на руках носил - поднять и затащить на весу было быстрее и внезапно легче, чем пытаться закатить по таким швеллерам.
Побывал в «депрессивном городе»: тишина, птички поют, гуляют коты, дебилы не гоняют по дворам, не сигналят, и ни одного курьера или электросамоката! А что, так можно?

It's funny when armchair experts insist that the fediverse won't catch on because "federation is too hard to understand" when arguably the most widespread communication system on the internet follows the same model
i feel like the newsgroups could also be pegged as an early distributed/mass-audience environment similar to what we see today... multiple nodes sharing sometimes identical loads of content
i miss tagline management.. bluewave
e. ALso! the star trek nonsense was strong with alt.wesly.crusher.die.die.die!
Yeah, Usenet was where it was at back at the turn of the millennium. Then again, I had access through a university. Access wasn't free outside of places like that.
ISPs were spotty on coverage because even at that time, they needed at least a terabyte of storage to dedicate to it, and still not be able to cover everything that was on there. Of course, they might've got away with less if they decided not to carry the binaries newsgroups...
The way it worked was a lot like how Fediverse federation works now, or similarly, filesharing. It was possible to be reading a thread of messages and the older ones wouldn't be available on your local/ISP news server because their space had been recycled for newer data.
If you were lucky, your attempt to access that message might cause your host to grab it on a future request to upstream hosts or peers, but some Usenet messages are completely lost to time because everyone purged them.
Google buying Dejanews, the largest archive of all messages, and merging it with the travesty that was (and still is) Google Groups just about killed the whole thing.

Well that and the fact that it was unmoderated which eventually led to it being populated almost exclusively with mentally ill troll savants. USENET by the end was the digital equivalent of a horror zoo of abused monkeys slinging shit all over everyone and themselves.
You could have moderated groups, where a moderator/group of moderators would get sent every post via email, and they'd only be posted into the group if approved.
The vast, vast, vast majority of groups were not moderated, but that's not to say you couldn't do so.
Yes pardon me I left off the word "largely" before "unmoderated." We all knew it was possible, but it didn't matter because, as you point out - nobody really did.
I get the argument, but email is also very different to the kind of open-web network that the fediverse resides in. There are problems the fediverse faces which email doesn't like discoverability. The emails either come to you or they don't. With federated social media, you have to find the content you're looking for first. Maybe you use a search engine, or somebody gives you a business card with their handle and instance, whatever. Then you have to figure out how to view those posts from your home instance if you want to actually interact in any way. There's browser extensions and stuff which try to make this easier, but that's another thing that has to be explained and set up, plus not everyone is visiting from a web browser with extension support, or a web browser at all for that matter.
It's not fundamentally impossible to understand the fediverse, but there's more of a barrier than email, which can be explained in a single sentence like "Your email provider gives you a unique address that anybody else can send emails to and vice versa." I don't think convincing ourselves that the fediverse is actually very simple is going to convince people outside the bubble that that's true.
Well with email if you want emails to come to you you also have to search for it and sign up your email to a list to receive them or give your email to people for them to send you stuff.
In lemmy you need to go to a community finder and find communities you want then you copy their link and paste it in your home instance search bar and hit follow. With email you need to search the web for a sites email list then paste your email in their and say you want to receive their email
The point being made is really just the identity of user being tied to User@domain.tld vs @handle it seems like that concept has died with Web 2.0. Only thing I would improve of the fediverse. If communities could be merged with when a group of instances agree to form a network. Like how IRC does it with channels. I mean yeah there would be netsplits from time to time but it would cut down on duplication and increase the traffic of niche communities like the benefits of central platforms get but it's still distributed.
I've heard it's (currently) impossible to post on Mastodon with a Lemmy account due to how both are differently built, unless you're referring to seeing a Lemmy discussion from Mastodon.
> I’ve heard it’s (currently) impossible to post on Mastodon with a Lemmy account due to how both are differently built, unless you’re referring to seeing a Lemmy discussion from Mastodon
I'm trying to reply to this with a Mastodon account. I'll be interested to see if it appears in the discussion on Lemmy instances, and if replies to it from Lemmy appear in my @mentions here.
Mastodon is objectively more popular than lemmy. But comparing them to email as a whole is a bit deceptive, a better comparison would be Mastodon and Gmail, or ActivityPub and Email.
I’m not technical enough to think it through carefully but I’ve always thought there was an opportunity for an organization like USPS to develop email 2.0 - something that gives people some kind of verifiable and secure email address so that users can easily find each other whilst filtering out spam (or to have spam taken into consideration in the design at the outset). You would design it based on strict standards that would be difficult to get around so that big tech could not easily co-opt it, and adopt for some kind of critical function (taxes, voting maybe?) so that it would encourage adoption en masse. Make it distributed so that users can selfhost it easily, safely, and securely.
Yeah man if I were in charge of the post office I'd definitely push for that AND the return of postal banking. Every post office in the United States would be your one stop service for this email so if there are authentication issues or anything you can actually go there and talk to a PERSON, IN-PERSON.
You would use this system specifically for official government correspondence, and also it'd be better for job seeking too - any situation where you need to be communicating as YOURSELF, fully verified.
I'd even throw in social media features. Forums, microblogging, live chat groups... however, everyone's identity is clear and certain. No anonymity here. There is privacy insofar as what's between you and the government stays between you and the government, but if you want anonymity and to express opinions without someone knowing who you are, that's to be done elsewhere.
Instead of a social media website that lies to you and pretends dishonestly to give you privacy, this would have to be up front about the fact that it's public property. A town square where you're wearing a name tag. If you don't want your neighbors knowing your rhetorical positions, post them elsewhere. Those other places, private services, and important and need to exist as counterbalance.
I'm sure many criminals would be stupid enough to use it for human trafficking and contraband smuggling shit though so that'll help uncover and discipline rogue elements.
This used to be true. However in the internet of today, if your email doesn’t come from a Microsoft or a google it will get rejected if the recipient is a Microsoft or google email address. They have taken over.
Sure there are a few others. What I’m mainly getting at is that you can’t run an email server in your house the same way you can run a lemmy instance and expect those emails to get delivered. You are forced to use someone else’s email service as a backend or google will flag your emails as spam.
This really underscores that "The Company Town" is very much alive. Also move over East India Trading Co.
We've let the Internet too few big players. It used to be more diverse, more federated. Now it's just the New TV for Advertisers to shit down your neck.
I'm not even sure if we can go back without inventing new technologies not captured by bureaucratic establishments.
You CAN do the full list of things to get accepted there. But you only need to fail a SINGLE test to get sent to junk mail jail.
To not be put to junk you need all of the following (oh and this can and will change one day and you'll go straight to junk)
SPF configured
DKIM configured with valid keys applied to DNS
DNS secured with DNSSEC, with validated keys passing all minimum requirements
DMARC configured for domain
Your mail server NOR the entire network on a DNSRBL. For example right now my mail server is hosted on OVH (moving soon) and it will go to junk, and in the hotmail/outlook headers it makes clear this is the only failure (-0.2 points, enough to go straight to junk mail jail)
Not sure if I missed any there. It's been a while since I set all this crap up.
Also if you're running an email server for others, it takes very little from single individual, like a small webshop newsletter, which enough people manually marks as junk and you're on a block list again. Latest one with microsoft took several days to clear, even if all of their tools and 1st tier support claimed that my IP isn't on a black list.
I've jumped all the hoops and done everything by the book, but that still doesn't mean that any of the big players won't just screw you up because some of their automaton happens to decide so. That's why I'm shutting my small ISP business down, there's no more money to make on that and a ton of customers have moved to the cloud anyways, mostly to microsoft due to their office-suite pricing. It was kind of fun while it lasted, but that ship has sailed.
Yeah, I'm quite sure it's a deliberate activity to dissuade against private email servers. Keep everyone's email "in the club". Once you've got this much working you need a whole suite of tools to deal with the HUGE amount of spam you need to filter. It can be a hell of a lot.
Filtering incoming spam, while not 100% correct, is a pretty straightforward thing to do. Use DNSBL and other lists from spamhaus and it takes care of 90+% of the problem. Incoming spam has not been a huge issue for me, but when people try to send mail to someone in M365 cloud or to Gsuite and they just decide that your server isn't important enough they just block you out and that's it. Trying to circumvent that takes a ton of time and effort and while it can be done it's a huge pain in the rear. And trying to fight your way trough the 1st tier support to someone who actually understands the problem and attempts to fix that while you customers are complaining that "problem with email" is actually affecting on their income is the part I'll happily leave behind.
I'll set up a couple of new VPS servers to host my personal and friends emails, but if they complain that the service I'm paying from my personal pocket isn't what they're after then they're free to switch into whatever they like. And as infrastructure for that is something like 100€/year I'll happily pay it by myself so that no one has an option to say 'I paid for this so you need to fix it' anymore. On commercial case that's obviously not an option and I've had my share of running a business in a very hostile environment.
Yeah and honestly, this is largely a reasonable standard for anyone running an email server. If you don't have SPF, DKIM and DMARC, basically anyone can spoof your emails and you'd be none the wiser. It also makes spam much harder to send without well, sacrificing IP addresses to the many spam lists. I wouldn't be surprised if some people setting up their own mail server were made aware of these things because of being blocked.
This is by design. The primary email relays have been captured for snooping. The spam lists are just a tool to solidify "winners" who comply with giving up your data.
Firstly, that would be awesome, but imagine the spam.
Secondly, I'm a proponent of thorn, I get it. But ð was almost exclusively used medially and terminally in English. In addition it didn't last nearly as long, and is much less recognizable as a letter in English. Þ was used initially, and is far more commonly seen in English. I get that you're using them for voiced and unvoiced like in Icelandic, but that wasn't so much the convention in English. I'm not against it, I'm asking to be sold on it. Lol. Sell me on why I need eth instead of just using thorn for both voiced and unvoiced, please? I'm willing to be converted.
And third, I'm having trouble finding it, was eth on it's own ever used as a single letter spelling of the, or is that your own addition? I like it. When writing (by hand) notes or things only I'll be reading, I use the þe shorthand that looks like an e cradled in the crook of a y, like was common in colonial America.
IRC was "kinda" federated. You needed to convince a server already in the network to accept your server. But in the early days requirements were quite low.
BBS was not really federated (except Fidonet I guess).
Usenet, I guess it kinda was. But only ISPs were really running NNTP servers. Only they and unis really had the resources to too.
What on earth are you talking about?? Of course they don't have to compete. It's a meme. It's meant to be funny, not accurate. What does my ego have to do with anything?
It's funny when armchair experts insist that the fediverse won't catch on because "federation is too hard to understand" when arguably the most widespread communication system on the internet follows the same model
Because you don't need to understand email to use it.
There have been decades of software and user interface advancements that have made the usage of email extremely simple and straightforward.
People also inherently grasp the idea of it because they understand the real world concept of mail.
Email is also one way. You aren't sending mail to and receiving mail from everyone at once, or reading mail one person sent to another and interjecting. You're just sending something to an address, not CC'ing literally everyone all the time.
Email also doesn't have any confusion around which mailboxes are allowed to speak to each other.
The fediverse is nowhere near that simple or intuitive.
Particularly Lemmy because Lemmy admins have fundamentally broken the idea of federation with defederation. It generally doesn't matter what email you use or what email the receiver uses, baring more niche services. It does actually matter what instance you're on.
We try to sell people on this comparison, try to explain to them that it's simple, but it's really a half-truth at best, or a lie at worst.
When you joined reddit, you know for a fact you're seeing everything, and the same thing as everyone else. The same posts, the same comments, the same vote counts. A simple, shared, unfiltered experience of everything was the default, and then you shaped it yourself.
That's not the case with the fediverse. There's no simple default. You have to build it yourself.
It was broken before then, the whole distributed user and instances is hard for the average non techy. This is the same issue Linux has. People say "just install Linux" but when the person Google's it, they get destroyed with 30 plus flavors and don't understand what to do.
Particularly Lemmy because Lemmy admins have fundamentally broken the idea of federation with defederation. It generally doesn’t matter what email you use or what email the receiver uses, baring more niche services. It does actually matter what instance you’re on.
You've probably never tried using email outside of Google, Outlook, Yahoo or Proton but let me tell you it doesn't just work. A lot of the servers have been blocked by the big first 3, sometimes soft-blocks being redirected to the Spam folder, but often times hard blocks where they don't get through at all. So it very much does matter what email service you do use, as many of the smaller ones and domains you might obtain to set up your own have been defederated, much more aggressively might I add. It doesn't take much for a domain to end up on spamhaus' or other spam lists, and it's a big pain to get them off said lists.
Let's compare with Defederation of activitypub services (because Lemmy devs didn't invent the idea of deferation, it's part of ActivityPub standard and is a thing on all activitypub platforms), something that typically happens when a server is spamming, spreading violent or hateful messages, or otherwise engaged in unproductive or harmful behavior (i.e. trolling, rudeness towards others, etc.). We don't use spamhaus or a similar equivalent service to filter "spam" automatically, much of it is done by server admins themself, there are tools like Fediseer meant to keep track of instances which are trusted as well as identifying known bad actors, but since this is community driven and not monolithic it is different from spamhaus and the like.
In all honesty the Defederation boogeyman is a very stupid argument, especially when comparing it to email which has ironically been hit the hardest by it. It has effectively been reduced to a handful of big players while all the other smaller ones out there find themselves unable to compete. Meanwhile on the activitypub side defederation is still an issue but it is a minor one and is limited to edge cases or bad behavior. One thing that is important to note, and why it isn't talked about more frequently to other people is this. When people invite others to join the Fediverse, they naturally assume the people who are joining are NOT trolls, alt-right sociopaths, neonazis, pedophiles, spammers, etc. and thus are not likely to have their accounts banned or the servers they start get widely defederated. If you are one of those people chances are you aren't the target demographic for most fediverse servers out there, and thus you will face friction, bans, and mass defederation because people do not want you in their spaces or to listen to your dogshit propaganda.
The Fediverse was never about freeze peach, it's about collaboration and cooperation between services, and most services do not want to collaborate with people who are assholes. The people still claiming that it is for free speech are lying or misinformed, because on most servers if you speak your mind and say things that are unacceptable or evil, there will be consequences. That means bans from those servers or defederation if you run your own.
I really wish email had a built-in aliases feature. Like, so you can create unlimited new addresses that just point to your normal inbox. That would help so much with spam, since you could just block individual aliases. I know some email providers have this feature, but usually it's paid. Plus Addressing is also nice, but it does nothing to hide your "real" address. Also I'm disappointed that end-to-end encrypted email is basically never used by normal people.
It does not though. I made a post the other day from the StarTrek.website instance and couldn't figure out if nobody had upvoted or commented on it, then tried to look it up on my regular discuss.online instance where it didn't exist, then went further to look it up on Lemmy.world (where the community is located) and saw that tens of people had. I wasn't able to respond to any of those at first though, until it caught up on an instance where I already had an account (edit: except I could not do that from the StarTrek.website instance where I had made the post from, bc it hadn't seen the comment yet even the next day - so I had to do it from a third instance involved in all this.)
And that wasn't even the only time that very same day that I saw a post existing/not existing and/or having a different number of comments and differences in voting counts. Perhaps 0.19.6 will help with some of these issues, at least on Lemmy but then PieFed, Mbin, and eventually Sublinks are still going to have to figure things out on their own as well.
So I am glad that things are going well for you who I note is on Lemmy.world, but the rest of the Fediverse is definitely struggling, in part because rather than in spite of that centralization. Also I note that Lemmy.world federating smoothly within itself doesn't even count in my book as "federation" at all! That's just Reddit 2.0 with everything on a single server, with all the benefits and pitfalls which that entails.
More generally when the subject is man vs. bear, and someone chooses bear, it doesn't help to simply laugh at those making that choice. Maybe we should listen, and maybe even expend efforts to make changes to become more welcoming for more people that would absolutely love to get off of the likes of Reddit, X, Threads, or Facebook?
In fact, for about 3 weeks, Facebook and gtalk could exchange message seamlessly and easily over their fed gateway and xmpp.
Seeing a problem with this, FB changed. With it being at least 4.5 weeks since the last complete redesign incompatible with the old, Google also changed to something that sucked.
The Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) is an application profile of the Extensible Markup Language (XML) that enables the near-real-time exchange of structured yet extensible data between any two or more network entities.
Technically, whatsapp, telegram, signal, even the chat of some online games are XMPP, but the servers are closed to be able to interact with other ones so they can become a monopoly...
That doesn't mean it isn't an open standard, that means they are using it as a closed system. This isn't a case of XMPP not being open, it's a case of servers using it choosing not to be open. Therefore the problem isn't XMPP not being open, it's services themselves not being open. As an example Reddit uses Matrix in their awful chats function, but you can't message other matrix users there or message reddit users from Matrix. That doesn't make Matrix not open, it means someone is using it in a way that isn't open to others.
The ability to defederate arguable makes it more free & open even if it isn’t what I would prescribe.
I recall having some fun with League of Legends when you could just join chat & chat rooms thru a regular XMPP client. This was convenient at work on Linux to not need a working client to catch important messages from teammates. But everyone wants a walled garden now.
Federation really isn't hard to understand especially when you dive in and start using it. I don't understand anyone who says otherwise.
Somehow this sentiment exists in the selfhosted subreddit and is why the community didn't move to Lemmy. One of the last places I'd expect to let something kinda technical scare them tbh.
It's an excuse, people don't want to just say they don't want to do it, so they make an excuse not to, saying it's ""complicated"". They don't feel like it or hate it for some irrational reason, possibly a misconception or just hate change.
If you see someone making excuses like this, or even casually making fun of the idea of decentralization and the fediverse, challenge them on it, point out how they are making excuses simply because they don't want to do it, or say no. Ask them how it is "complicated" and make them give an explanation. 90% of the people I've done this with couldn't come up with one and just acted embarrassed after, because they couldn't come up with one. It's a mindless excuse.
It's not really like they were evil about it though. Google attracted customers through its huge (at the time) 1 GB email storage space, which at the time, was unbelievably generous and also impressive in that it was offered for free. Outlook (Hotmail at the time) also drew in customers by offering the service for free, anywhere in the world, without needing to sign up for Internet service. Remember, at the time, e-mail was a service that was bundled with your Internet service provider.
Into the mid-2000s and 2010s, the way that Gmail and Outlook kept customers was through bundle deals for enterprise customers and improvements to their webmail offerings. Gmail had (and arguably, still has) one of the best webmail clients available anywhere. Outlook was not far behind, and it was also usually bundled with enterprise Microsoft Office subscriptions, so most companies just decided, "eh, why not". The price (free) and simplicity is difficult to beat. It was at that point that Microsoft Outlook (the mail client, not the e-mail service) was the "gold standard" for desktop mail clients, at least according to middle-aged office workers who barely knew anything about e-mail to begin with. Today, the G-Suite, as it is called, is one of the most popular enterprise software suites, perhaps second only to Microsoft Office. Most people learned how to use e-mail and the Internet in the 2000s and 2010s through school or work.
You have to compare the offerings of Google and Microsoft with their competitors. AOL mail was popular but the Internet service provided by the same company was not. When people quit AOL Internet service, many switched e-mail providers as well, thinking that if they did not maintain their AOL subscription, they would lose access to their mailbox as well.
Google and Microsoft didn't "kill" the decentralised e-mail of yesteryear. They beat it fair and square by offering a superior product. If you're trying to pick an e-mail service today, Gmail and Outlook are still by far the best options in terms of ease of use, free storage, and the quality of their webmail clients. I would even go so far as to say that the Gmail web client was so good that it single-handedly killed the desktop mail client for casual users. I think that today, there are really only three legitimate players left if you're a rational consumer who is self-interested in picking the best e-mail service for yourself: Proton Mail if you care a lot about privacy, and Gmail or Outlook if you don't.
It is also worth considering that yes, MS and Google have definitely dominated the market through superior products, but the standards they've pushed for and established have also made it difficult for other players to enter. If we wanted to say that the federated nature of email is dead, I think that's a fair argument still.
Hosting your own email server is quite difficult. You have to jump through a lot of hoops to land in anyone's mailbox without assistance. If you want to make a mailing list, you basically need to use a mailing service, lest you get blacklisted by major systems owned by MS and Google. Much of this is a byproduct of spam, by which I don't blame Google and MS for doing their best to protect against, but at the same time they have more or less neutered some core aspects of what made email accessible.
Google and Microsoft didn't "kill" the decentralised e-mail of yesteryear. They beat it fair and square
Sure, they might've cornered the market fair and square, but they're certainly doing anticompetitive things in keeping it cornered.
Just try setting up a mail server not connected to any of the big corpos (Google, MS, Cloudflare or their clients with more niche marketing) and see who will actually recieve your mails. You most likely won't land into the Spam folder either.
Now if government officials start accepting a fediverse based communication, I will create a separate instance for that and it will be totally safe for work, only used for communications with the government.
Мы в садоводстве все лето боролись с малолетними долбоёпами на питбайках, которые носились по нашим улицам с ревом на полной скорости, в том числе по ночам. Нет, насилия не применяли. Останавливали, объясняли, пытались достучаться... Не знаю, наши ли разговоры подействовали, но сейчас один из них пролетел мимо моего КПП на электрическом питбайке. Абсолютно бесшумно. Жаль, не успел остановить его и расспросить.
@Шуро Им по 13-16 лет (есть даже девочка лет 7 !!!). Их прёт от мощи и рёва мотора. Хотя, конечно, возможно, что один повзрослел раньше других. Ну или родителей этот рёв тоже достал.
@Limping Они же не постоянно проезжают через наше СНТ. 1-2 раза в день. Иногда вообще не ездят. И никакие гаишники не будут их тут караулить. Тем более, что пацаны чаще гоняют по лесу и около карьера по лесным тропинкам.
Не стоит... они со временем социализируются ) Пусть у них будет свое детство. Объяснить, что не надо шуметь там где люди спят - да, это нужно и важно. Воспитывать в общем. Но если наябедничать в органы там такие разборки пойдут, что можете банально детям жизни поломать.
Изучил ПДД, связанные с питбайками. Оказалось, все и просто и сложно одновременно. Питбайки не являются транспортным средством. Это спортинвентарь. Из этого следуют выводы: 1. Чтобы ездить на питбайке, не нужны права, его не надо регистрировать в ГАИ, нет нижнего возрастного порога для пользователей. Хоть в 5 лет садись. 2. По той же причине на питбайке нельзя ездить по дорогам. Только на трассах и тренировочных площадках
Допускается использование питбайка как транспортного средства. При этом он должен быть оборудован всеми необходимыми устройствами - например, зеркалами и фарами. Однако в этом случае к нему применяются и все требования, как к транспортному средству: регистрация, права и нижний возрастной порог в 16 лет.
@Wandering Thinker Ну да, я это и написал. Если из питбайка сделать транспортное средство, то к нему начинают применяться все ограничения, свойственные транспортному средству.

Словил тут в #pixel8 проблему с экраном - полоса. Судя по форумам - проблема известная и есть даже решение: снести "штыри", которые протыкают шлейф экрана.
Поеду в сервис на будущей неделе, посмотрим, что можно сделать.
СЕО Microsoft Сатья Наделла получил 63-процентную прибавку к зарплате. Он просил об обратном, умоляя, чтобы ее, наоборот, сократили после гигантской киберкатастрофы с участием Microsoft. 🤣 cnews.ru/news/top/2024-10-25_g…
Какая буря из говна поднялась после того, как #Vivaldi представили новый интерфейс! Впрочем, ничего нового. Так происходит всегда. Но хочется спросить: ребята, прежде чем извергать свой коричневый фонтан, вы не пытались сначала немного потыркаться с настройками? Это Vivaldi, а не Chrome. Тут много чего настраивается. А если применить некоторые темы (например, Subtle), то ваш привычный интерфейс вернется на место целиком и полностью, включая даже старые иконки. Белки-истерички. Зла не хватает. 😡
@Atom42 ☭ Согласен. К счастью разрабы Vivaldi - очень адекватные люди. Они всегда говорили, что все фичи браузера будут настраиваемыми и отключаемыми. Пока свое слово держат.
@⚛️Revertron Конечно. Это можно сделать даже в новой теме, но вкладки все равно будут скругленными, как и все элементы интерфейса. Но можно выбрать другую тему, и все станет прямоугольным как раньше.
@⚛️Revertron смотри: три скриншота. 1. Новая дефолтная тема (обрати внимание на иконки и скругления) 2. Та же тема в "Компактном" режиме 3. Тема Subtle. Выглядит ровно как главная тема Vivaldi версии <7.0
@Dmitry ☮️ Я тоже пришел к такому выводу. Кое-что из старого дизайна вернул (прямоугольные вкладки), кое-что оставил из нового (иконки). И очень греет мысль, что в любой момент могу откатиться к старому дизайну с сохранением новых фич.
Матушка-эволюция пришла к человеку и сказала: — Смотри, я тут подумала... Тебе же надо того... За антилопами по саванне гоняться.

Да... — Так сделай лучше, чтобы девки были красивые с головы до пяточек! — А это мысль!.. — И рисовать научи 😉 — Ну это уж ты сам... — А это... Dodge Ram, а то всё бегать... — !...
Фотография. На фотографии изображена женщина, лежащая на белом диване. Она лежит на боку, спиной к камере. Она покрыта серой простыней, которая частично сползла с нее. Ее волосы длинные и темные, она смотрит в сторону от камеры. На заднем плане видна бежевая стена.
If there were a way to set average delay between meows it would be great to add: "curl -X MEOW -d "delay=120" mo.rijndael.cc/ &" To someone's .bashrc just to make it even more realistic.
Потыкал известную для любителей читалок прогу - koreader
Не очень понравилась в сравнении с дефолтной читалкой.
- слишком много настроек, которые по сути нужны 1 раз - самые главные настройки(яркость, теплота света, тема) убраны далеко - не оч понятно где искать заметки - не красивый интерфейс
По сути единственное, чем меня так заинтересовала эта прога это то, что в ней можно смотреть подробную статистику по чтению. Этого в дефолтной читалке вот очень не хватает конечно.
@contrinitiator we’ve only found them for the first time this year too (but I haven’t found a devil’s bolete yet). Good luck to you to find some as well! 🍄🟫
Сегодня полдня просидел дома с больным горлом, а после обеда уехал в урочища посмотреть на закат и выпить чая, любуясь драматичным заходом солнца. Взял с собой фотик, всё-таки было решено поснимать в чб, значит буду. Плёнку пока не заряжал, обошёлся цифрой.
В первом урочище меня встретила убегающая в дебри лосиная жопа. После дождя листва бесшумная, чем-то увлечённый сохатый оказался нерасторопным и сразу не услышал меня. Зато потом с испугу тараном прошёл по зарослям кустарников. Ветер был тёплый, уходить не хотелось, но солнце было близко к горизонту, а с востока двигались тучки. Не хотелось завязнуть в чернозёме после дождя.
Во втором урочище уже месяц стоит новый лизунец для животных. Глянул видео с фотоловушки. Две молодые косули с трудом дотягиваются до соли. Пойду на днях занижу кормушку сантиметров на десять. Лосям всё равно, а косулям доступ будет облегчен. На одном видео слышен голос какого-то деда за кадром: « О, камера!» Спасибо, старик, что всё оставил как есть. #осень
🌙 Ночные фотографии с новым фотоаппаратом Canon 5D Mark IV! 📸 Вот фотка с фотиком и мной тут: lor.sh/@NitrousLife/1133512012… Впечатления хорошие: отлично цепляет по центру, но по лайввью фокус бегает и нормально сфокусироваться не может, что странно, особенно в режиме фото. Пока не заметил разницы от 6D по картинке, но думаю, в скором времени замечу.
За всё время моего отсутствия на этой крыше повесили камеру, которую никто не смотрит. Приятно вновь сходить и пофотографировать ночной город! 🌆✨
@ivanhead удобнее это да, так как на 6d вываливался мезинец, теперь он не вываливается от слова совсем, быстрее, конечно не тестировал скорострельность но 7 кадров это хорошо. Чуть больше чем в 50d, и 6d соответственно. автофокус мое почтение) но нечего принаровлюсь, да и в целом давно не снимал пейзажи что позабыл, что да как)
@ivanhead это да, но был удивлен синтетике nikon d850, мне говорил друг, что ISO можно понижать вплоть до 32-34 единиц, а то что там ДД просто бешенный, он промолчал, но хуже держит на высоких ISO.
@Parabrando вверху шиповника три штуки, справа кардамон, зелёный и коричневый. под гвоздикой мускат, левее перец горошком обычный и душистый, внизу лемонграсс. ну и имбирь на доске)
@Parabrando не, вино одно, справа. Я ещё по чуть-чуть соберано 12шку добавляю и Angelus, он тоже на основе бренди, апельсиново-изюмно- кардамоно-гвоздичный ликёр, в глинтвейн самое то)
