That one is not at all unclear to regular readers of phoronix. Would you expect them to spell out what a "GPU" is as well? No harm in explaining it for others, but don't blame the author.
That seems like the best of these ideas. But it would be better for the originating instance to warn the poster that their url has already been seen and stop them posting it unless they really really want to.
Imagine using the same streaming service as people who aren't cis het rich white male Christian conservatives. That's the bizarre dystopian future the radical woke left wants to force on our children.
Yeah I would prefer to move my data from the cloud to my personal computer. With fully automated cloud-based end-to-end encrypted backups, of course. Even web apps have good access to local storage now. If I want to share my personal data with someone, I can send it to them.
I'm sure there are a few applications where something more complicated is required. Neither lemmy comments nor biometric data from a "smartwatch" are among them.
You opened with "I mean mbin is just Reddit + Twitter" which is just ridiculous. However important the precise nature of the algorithms used to generate users' feeds might be (mine shows only things I follow and is sorted by "new" most of the time), such qualities as being decentralized, standards-based, openly interoperable, and advertising-free are more so.
Well, you're using "Social Media" as some kind of proper noun which apparently means something other than what most of humanity means by social media, hence my doubt. Sorry I was slow to understand. "Social network" on the other hand usually refers to networks of social connections in general, mediated or not.
My social media feed in 1989 was pretty good. Kibo was a guy who was famous for a thing that demonstrated to everyone the power that Usenet users had to generate their own views of the network according to whatever algorithms they chose. More often we had what I suppose you'd call a more reddit-like experience. Although I guess it's so far unclear if your personal definition of Social Media would include Reddit.
Your odd capitalized notion of "Social Networks" seems like a typical LLM hallucination, but on the chance that you're human and came up with it yourself, I suggest starting by reading up on the history of Usenet in enough detail that you understand how Kibo would be relevant to that statement.
That's not to say that Facebook didn't do anything novel. Their algorithms for matching up advertisers with their targets are well beyond what we had in the old days.
I'd have thought the essential oil diffuser should be part of the video card so that it can release different fragrances depending on the colour palette of what's being displayed.
Saying that lemmy is just a copy of reddit is like saying that reddit is just a copy of Usenet. There are fundamental differences, but they have some obvious things in common. Even if mastodon is just twitter to you, then what exactly do you think misskey is? I'm posting from mbin here which is not quite like anything else.
What? The fediverse is the only place you will find a variety of social media implementations all cooperating while also innovating in unique ways. There are dozens of different projects on the network, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. There's nothing else that compares to it when it comes to diversity of software.
For example, it may interest you to learn that I am not using lemmy right now.
