Rollerblading, programming, writing, documentaries, travel, motorbikes… That’s it!

This account is here to interact with bits of the Fediverse which don’t play nicely with GoToSocial.
I get where you’re coming from. But not everyone who falls for this stuff is “stupid”. Some are just vulnerable - maybe just temporarily - and once you’re in, it’s an awful slippery slope.
I don’t know how many are just vulnerable and how many are good Darwin award nominees.
Absolutely!
Although… snail mail is also legislated to be secure. It’s not used as often because there is a more convenient, better(?) alternative: fax. I wish some funding for so-called “AI” projects could be used to develop even more convenient/better alternatives to fax. There are messaging protocols but they seemed crazy.
Payment systems are crazy too. Stripe did all the boring work and now there is a convenient interface for payment processing: Stripe’s HTTP API.
Might be closer than you think. The White House is just using Instagram right now: https://www.whitehouse.gov

Super interesting story - thanks for sharing. Helps getting perspective:
> the data centres proposed by Conifex would have consumed 2.5 million
> megawatt-hours of electricity a year. That’s enough to power and heat
> more than 570,000 apartments
A link to the video could be shared via ActivityPub.
The video would be loaded over HTTPS; we can verify that the video is from the white house, and that it hasn’t been modified in-transit.
A big issue is that places don’t want to share a link to an independently verifiable video, they want you to load a copy of it from their website/app. This way we build trust with the brand (e.g. New York Times), and spend more time looking at ads or subscribe.

Fax machines are still used in healthcare!
There is an overwhelming amount of healthcare admin where software could help.
Computers are designed for messaging, data manipulation, deduplication… stuff that people are drowning in because the existing software sucks or doesn’t exist.
Yet we see pie-in-the-sky “AI” (LLMs? who knows?) projects being funded.
(I worked as a manager at an Australian general practice. Assuming the US is similar? )
@EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted @lemmy Yes exactly :)
@EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted @Die4Ever I think of a “fedilink” as the canonical URL where the post/comment/toot/video/etc. can be found.
From Lemmy server lemmy.sdf.org: https://lemmy.sdf.org/comment/8082033
From hachyderm.io (running Mastodon): https://hachyderm.io/statuses/111886790514615908
Each of those servers loaded your comment from https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/6238380 (this is the fedilink!)
@DarthYoshiBoy @dez It shouldn’t matter: thankfully both ActivityPub and AT protocol have open source implementations, so we can have ways for it to work together.
I think we have had so many years of app == platform == protocol that we’ve forgotten what interoperability really means and looks like. Even the distinction between Lemmy/Mastodon/Kbin et al. feels like a holdover from those times.

Installing Linux on old PCs and laptops is what got me into Linux (and other OSs) in the first place.
I still love it. There’s a joy of breathing new life into old hardware.
Perhaps it’s similar to how people like fixing up old cars even if people aren’t really going to drive them again.
