I’m still very much a linux user, and pretty happy with it. #Platforms #OSĢ021 may not have been the year of Linux on the desktop, but still some great things have come from it. This year has been much more a time of stabilizing what I’m using rather than trying out radical new approaches, but overall I’m much happier with how I’m getting things done. I’m still working from home full time, and since last time have moved to a fully remote position at a different company (The offices exist, just a couple hour’s drive away). It’s still an idea I’ve completely stolen from CGP Grey / Cortex, but I think it’s useful, fun and interesting. It also bears thinking whether there are alternatives to federation that have some of its advantages without its disadvantages, such as easy account migration through OIDC and account data backup/restore.It’s a new year, so it’s time to reflect back on the tools I used last year, how they’ll change this year, and how they might change in future. However, it only takes one with open registration for the above issues to manifest. This could be mitigated by tildes instances remaining invite-only. This is already happening with Lemmy instances right now, for example. Now imagine this but magnified by large enough communities becoming threats simply by existing, accidentally (to use a term from The Other Site) hugging smaller instances to death. This can be impactful enough to take down small or even mid-sized instances or at the very least, degrade the experience significantly. There's another problem that federation has which may not be relevant now, but could occur in the future:įederated instances often have issues whether someone notable joins, which can lead to a massive influx of traffic from both new users and existing users locally and from other instances. ![]() Moderation on tildes seems to be very nice, so it'd be quite a shame to see that getting degraded. It is difficult to moderate users from other instances, without resorting to the drastic option of defederating them outright. The biggest issue with federation is moderation. This sounds like what Lemmy and Kbin do already, using the ActivityPub protocol. Some features originally developed for it will still be coming out, however. Since coming to an agreement with Nintendo is unlikely, Dolphin won't be releasing on Steam. Nintendo never claimed that Dolphin violated any copyright, since randomly-generated strings of letters and numbers aren't copyrightable under current US law.Even if the DMCA's anti-circumvention clause were to be interpreted as disallowing all Wii game protection circumvention, removing the Wii Common Key wouldn't make a difference anyways. ![]()
