So what you’re saying is we need a revolution?

So you’re already at step one, treat and train it well and it’ll be loyal like you’ve never seen before. Take it to dog parks and long walks, best wingman you’ll ever have.

If you enjoy a good voiceover, check out Beau Miles and Bobby Fingers. Beau is all about his adventure philosophy and Bobby doesn’t need an introduction. There’s just no way to discribe his videos, highly recommended.

Like your OP?

I’m ackshually one of the lucky 10000!

That’s why I called you tone-deaf, not even the article “mixed up” their magical swords. It’s saying “France’s ‘Excalibur’” referring to a sword-in-stone myth located in France, using its proper name a few lines in.

Using metaphors like that in titles is just a way to capture the readers attention. It’s the fastest and most succinct way to discribe the news and have everyone understand the point of the article. It’s not wrong, it’s a metaphor.

get annoyed when people mix up their magical swords

I get annoyed by people reading only the headline and feeling like they have something useful to contribute.

Most tone-deaf “Umm actually…” I’ve ever seen lmao

Edit: “Excalibur” is obviously a metaphor for “sword in stone”

One of the guys who invented the process for large scale production was Fritz Haber, to make explosives and chemical weapons. He’s also responsible for using chlorine gas on the battlefield in WW1. His wife was a chemist and an activist, who shot herself in the heart after learning about his involvement. Haber left within days for the Eastern Front to oversee gas release against the Russian Army.

He ended up saving more lives than he destroyed, but what a story.

You could start by downloading your Google data raw, much easier to explore your own data if it’s all on the same drive.

I’d say living for eternity doesn’t imply being conscious for that time.

Edit: Eternal recurrence could be a fun thing to witness

My ways have already been discussed, except for NTS Radio, some of the best new music I’ve listened too were on there.

I’m thinking the same way smartphones are solved where only small increments of improvement happen. Radical changes happenen, like folding phones or the rise of Tiktok. Some have long lasting problems like the former, but the latter managed to pick a fight with the giants and come out on top.

Back to market terms, they’re mature but new players have proven to disrupt the market. When the general public start caring about privacy, federated social media will rise. Seeing how that is quite a politicised thing, progress will be slow. I’d love to be proven wrong though.

I think social media is a solved problem at this point, you’ll need something radical or game changing to actually break through in this market. Combined with the fact that the fediverse is inherently much more difficult to monetize I don’t see many companies taking on that challenge.

FOSS projects might though, but they tend to grow too slow to be disruptive.

I get it, the inventory is just a list of all servers and PC you are trying to manage and the playbooks contain every step you would take if you would configure everything manually.

I’ll be honest when you first set it up it’s daunting but that’s the thing! You only need to do it once, then you can deploy and redeploy anything you have in minutes.

Edit: found this useful resource

You’re going to love SolidPods, honestly. From the website:

Solid is a specification that lets individuals and groups store their data securely in decentralized data stores called Pods. Pods are like secure web servers for data. When data is stored in a Pod, its owners control which people and applications can access it.

I see no possible way that a centralized identity can be more private that an array of separate ones.

Check out the specifications as well, using Pods you could have seperate accounts on every platform linked only by the ability to login using your Pod.

convenience thing first and a privacy thing second

This is convenience and privacy, with a SolidPod you decide who stores the data. It could be you, it could be any federated instance, but that data is encrypted and you decide which application can use which data. They use a WebID (see this as a hash of your unique profile) to identify the user and this would be the only data that is shared between you and any federated instance.

And possible federation as well, very nice. Is this using SolidPods or did they just name their* server similarly?

Sorry I replied to the parent comment, but check out Ansible

Ansible is great for this!
