Photons are both particles and waves, not only waves (that’s because of the wave-particle duality discovered by/after Einstein’s theories).

I don’t think so if it’s not in a single central server. Although I can be wrong, that’s not the point I mean by uncensorable and undeletable, what I mean is something like a government, agency or person can’t arbitrarily try to shut down, censor or delete something legitimate that’s archived, like has actually happened with Wayback Machine (and what’s thus one of the main reason why I propose this); of course I don’t want CSAM, doxxing, GPDR violations or illegal content whatsoever, and if the authors wants their content deleted, they obviously have the right to be forgotten, but there’s also situations when a web is totally taken down in a illegal or arbitrary way, or when something turns into lost media or almost lost media, and that’s when this is valuable, along with making the collective memory more reliable and durable.

Yeah, it’s archiving the Web (and more, basically a digital time capsule) then publish that to AP so it’s more accesible, and of course have a web and/or a native client where you can manage easily all of that (with a UX similar to the one in Wayback Machine).

I don’t think so, because IPFS is just more sort of a framework and platform to those kind of applications, something as Nostr or some types of S3 storages, or a CDN. What’s necessary thus is all the business logic, the specialized nodes and clients, the metadata, identifiers and namespaces so that that application is not just a directory spread over IPFS (or in our case, Iroh, which is much better than the vanilla IPFS node, Kubo). Something also like in HTTPS you don’t see a lot of loose hyperlinks, but rather applications that use HTTPS underneath as another layer.

Anyone in Silicon Valley, but especially Sam Altman, Larry Page, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates and anyone who has anything to do with Apple.

Thanks for the invitation and advice! I would love to do it but I don’t know if I have the makings of a moderator. Although perhaps someone would be interested in moderating it, luckily that is Fediverse.

Anyway, I’m not sure where or how to create a community on my clients (Blorp on Android and Photon PWA on desktop [along with Interstellar when I don’t want to—or can’t—have my browser open]).

PS: It’s kind of funny the specificity of the percentage, I love it! 😄

It’s possible in theory, hard in practice. You can, for example, look if they have any repo with their fork (if they forked) or mirror (if just mirrored for one reason or another). Well, that’s the easy part. But even if so, you could think that you can’t know if the code in the repo is the same as the running one. But that’s not always true, as for example if the code has reproducibility guarantees; just like in F-Droid, or in Nix, or in Guix. There are projects that make it more localized, at the application level, publishing everything from the compilation recipes along with their scripts and DBOM, to their default configurations. If they claim that the program they are running follows just those structures but you cannot reproduce it when compiling or self-hosting, you may become suspicious. Of course, divergence adds another problem here, and the method is not perfect either since it depends on there being a certain initial assertion to test against your evidence, but it is much better than nothing. And I don’t know in any case why you would join an instance that claims to be reproducible but does not give access to its code or one that gives access to non-reproducible code.

Actually, that’s a problem on ActivityPub; DMs are hard to cipher within AP because of the AS and JSON-LD particularities. Though there’s some good software that done it, like Bonfire.

Well… Empty empty, I don’t think so; think about the whole issue of vacuum energy and the consequent virtual particle-antiparticle pairs, or the mere fact of the existence of quantum fields that permeate everything — like the field responsible for mass itself, the Higgs field.

That’s a simplification; a useful one, but a simplification nonetheless.

I won’t defend the OP because he’s surely just an embarrassing attention seeker, but in return I’ll say that you can’t really say that there isn’t misandry out there, especially on the leftist side of Lemmy, just as you can’t say that there isn’t a black swan out there (i.e. the induction problem), and in fact there are a lot of misandric women, and you can’t just rationalize it as a “valid reaction to centuries of oppression” because it’s a genetic fallacy. (where someone is held responsible for something they were not involved in because they were born much later, just because they are a descendant of that group).

Also there’s AudD, that’s pretty neat for that purpose.

🤪

Oh no, the AI slop is in danger then, I’ll stop for sure

Wiggles their balls

I can’t afford a YubiKey, and also I don’t have the time to do that ad infinitum. Just not my thing.

Oh, and about the firewall, you’re just eating all of China’s propaganda because, oh surprise, they also do propaganda, just as USA, because they do that to control what can see anyone inside their territory, and to be able to spy on everyone’s life through state’s DPI.

Been illegal nearly half a decade and was only a thing in around 40 of the large tech firms around the 2019 tech boom before being ruled illegall by the supreme people’s court in 2021.

Yes, and only on paper, because even today Chinese companies do that and more (like 007) at will without the government telling them anything, just as Jack Ma said that was desirable, and there is indirect evidence that the Chinese government has supported them.

It really exasperates me how people see this as black and white. No, they are both shit, and so is any government, and by defending the Chinese government you are defending a tyranny as much as if the one you were defending was the American one.

I live on a country (Venezuela) that sucks China’s fucking balls and believe me, I have been able to notice the effects of that in my fucking 24 years of life in this fucking hell.

There’s no good government out there, just fucking shitty demons that if were all killed it would be the Heaven in Earth.

Well, give me the studies, arguments and independent periodistic reports that are clearly not subject to interests conflicts.

Because I have them.

Again, you all are being, blind,bManichean and naive by basically cherry-picking and looking to another side when there’s information that doesn’t support your beliefs, just to attack the US (that, let’s accept it, it’s as authoritarian as China, but in a very different way).

Again, I hate both equally, and for me would be better if both Trump and Xi Jing Ping died.
