You must be old. This is how the younger generation communicates.

The speech wasn’t for the officials, it was for the voters, young ones specifically. That’s why she mentions re-election at the end.

Lemmy doesn’t work with Peertube and it doesn’t seem like there’s any importance given to it.

And she’s trans too, right? Would send DHH in a frothy frenzy.

So are we all.

It can interact with peertube, pixelfed, miskey, and many more things. Lemmy only really sees the threadiverse part of the fediverse.

But he interface of mastodon isn’t threaded, so it’s unusable to me. I was point to Sharkey and akkoma, which I might try instead, but I feel quite comfortable here, honestly.

Because desktops are expensive. You people just can’t afford them. You need to put at least 1k into the PC then another 200 into the screen, then mouse, keyboard, headset, webcam… They are cheaper off buying a phone.

Young people barely own stuff anymore. Their wealth is historically low as the tech barons, land barons, and so on own everything they want: homes, tech, uni debt, subscriptions, everything. And meanwhile the young are expected to work longer hours for less pay. In certain countries their pay is taxed up to 50%, but a wealthy person doesn’t get a salary so they aren’t taxed.

Their parents didn’t do much better either, but they didn’t have it as bad. But it was bad enough that daycare and childcare is fucking expensive, so they shove a phone into the child’s face: now the children know phones from a very young age and are also conditioned to buy one asap because it’s all they know.

So yeah, I don’t blame young people for not owning PCs. Our society has fumbled, is fumbling, and will continue to fumble making it affordable. If we want young people to be more interested in computing beyond telling Claude to write shit for them, we should be worrying about the wealth gap and affordability crisis.

Uh… Can’t think of anything else. Maybe post 2 videos instead of 1?

Maybe make a comment on a video or post on or linking to another fediverse platform e.g comment on a peertube video or share a peertube video.

Keep using it, I use it too.

What I don’t understand us why they had to go and write a totally new OS instead using Linux. They might be able to sell it to a bunch of Chinese, but how will it fare globally? Now there’ll be yet another platform to develop apps for. It’s like that xkcd comic about standards: there are now X competing standards

The most privileged companies will pay Trump and magically get access.

My question is why are people still listening to this dude and doing so on a platform that rivals 4chan in hate?

I wish it were a huge peertube instance, but alas…

Maybe I should mail them and ask to join the fediverse 🤔

It’s how I reduce my YouTube consumption. It’s very welcome. They haven’t (yet) blocked alternative frontends.

Ok, this will start a trend.

Akkoma’s own homepage and Sharkey’s repo

I guess I can try sharkey.world. Thanks for the links.

Akkoma only has two instances and they are both down

Sharkey is a Misskey fork and there don’t seem to be any instances. Misskey has instances, but none that I tried actually allow seeing the posts without logging in. To top it off, they all require approval. That is one of my biggest pet peeves with “public” software: requiring a login to even evaluate it.

Wafrn looks kinda interesting. It does require clicking to see every layer of responses and the entire thread isn’t shown like in lemmy, but maybe that’s configurable.

Thanks for sharing. It looks like I’d have to go shopping for the right software in order to get what I want 😅

Ping the devs of both, ask them about federation and go from there.

100% agree with you on threads. It’s the biggest reason I don’t use mastodon. It’s completely impossible to keep track of discussions right now, so my time spent is kept to s minimum - just for my sanity.

But the tax-dodging overlords want it! How can you be against he wishes of your superiors?
