There’s plenty of communities where I have no interest in discussing things with the masses. I like smaller communities with thoughtful posters who care more about the subject matter than being heard. That’s the beauty of Lemmy. Not everything has to be perfect for everyone.

Has MBin got a complete API?

Both are working for me

A healthy sized update. Fantastic work everyone.

What’s so good about PieFed?

Aha! Thank you.

Is there a Why Files episode about this or something similar?

Say it louder for the people in the back. This is how white supremacy works. One of capitalism’s most powerful tools.

It’s instance dependent.

They’re still cosplaying decentralisation. Google hosts images on a separate domain to the one where they serve documents, are they decentralised? When we see more indexers, by all means let’s consider BlueSky decentralised, but until then, they’re just offloading traffic.

They really just tried to get free labour.

Glad they’re not gonna stretch it

Why are you bringing up AI? Brave, like all major browsers, has also invested in AI https://brave.com/leo/

But Brave isn’t maintaining a rendering engine, so they’re able to spend on different things.

Working for me.

There was a point where Yahoo paid to be the default in America, Google came back at the next opportunity and doubled (IIRC) their offer.

If Google pulled out, Bing would lowball Mozilla. Yandex are untouchable given that they’re Russian and so there’s not much left.

But that’s all besides the point, removing one dependency to replace it with another doesn’t make sense, people have been clamouring for Mozilla to become self sustainable and they’re attempting to do that. The fact that people want some crazy utopia where Mozilla just replace Google’s money with donations is the problem. Though, I personally think that we as users, should be lobbying our governments and advocating for more investment in open source alternatives such as Mozilla.

It’s adding centralisation where there’s no need for any. In the same way that BlueSky cosplays as decentralized, this is what this effectively tries to move towards. In that whoever runs the relays/indexers is in control.

Of course mastodon wanna power grab

Better how? There’s no right or wrong answer, I had both.
