Isn’t Signal E2E encrypted? How would it be able to decrypt them?

But then what’s the benefit to Signal? Just that it’s decentralized?

Night of the Hunter (not the remake)

Big creators make a ton of money from their videos. I’m fine with the Fediverse adding ads, or creators doing sponsorships. We need a separation of concerns. Fediverse is removing centralized corporate control.

We need a way to get good content creators money on the Fediverse.

IMO a very small amount of storage should be free but after that the user needs to pay. It’s the right thing to do for hosts and for the environment. If content creators need massive amounts of video then that will incentivize them to make money on it.

The only people left out are small, niche channels that have quality or important content but don’t make much money. Maybe they could be cut special deals by the hosts / donors.

But then how do you make money with a browser if you aren’t getting Google money and don’t spy on users?

OH SHIT… which one was Brazinni again?

Doesn’t Fediverse mean “these applications can federate with each other”? How would you federate with Lemmy without ActivityPub?

If there are multiple protocols, then that defeats the entire purpose of a protocol. If Matrix and ActivityPub are in the Fediverse, then Facebook and Twitter should be, too.

Facebook can’t talk with Twitter, so they aren’t federated with each other. Same goes for ActivityPub and Matrix. Fediverse doesn’t mean “has a federated protocol”. It means “these applications are federated with each other” (from what I understand).

The Fediverse uses the ActivityPub protocol. This allows everything in it to communicate with each other. Lemmy can’t communicate with Matrix since Matrix is a different protocol.

Did someone just slap this together by copying and pasting an asterisk three times? I know we’re an open source, nerdy community but could we hire a graphic designer?

Blech

What’s better about Summit?

I’m not understanding. With Matrix you get channels like “Rust” where you join and it’s all about the Rust programming language. Or you can have a group chat with a few people in it.

Some people are so dense it’s like they do it on purpose.

Both Bill and Ted sequels were horrible. The third was actually worse than #2.

Bill and Ted 1 was a perfect movie.

If you send them the message in plain text they have no way of verifying you aren’t just making it up to get someone you don’t like banned. Keeping it encrypted means they know the sender wrote it.

If it’s with asymmetric encryption, wouldn’t it be possible for the report button to generate a key based on their private key which can only be used to decrypt the given message?

I believe Java is the best option for this type of application

Why?

Rust’s speed is a cherry on top. The main reason to use it is its language design / correctness guarantees.

I’ve been programming for several decades and understand nuance and subjectivity vs objectivity when it comes to this, and strongly believe Rust is just objectively much better than Java as a language.

One example is that Rust doesn’t have null while Java does. The creator of null gave an excellent talk called The Billion Dollar Mistake about why null was such a bad idea, and said languages shouldn’t not have used it. Instead, the alternative he gives is what Rust does.

Things like this are actually hugely important.

Also, Rust was “most loved” language in the StackOverflow developer survey for eight years in a row for a reason.

Other than Sublinks, I have never seen anyone post about how they really want to work with Java.
