  • Now that DuckDuckGo is out. Give me your search prompts and I'll answer them as best I can. That includes images (based on what I have saved on my PC). So what is it you wish to know or see?

  • If I stick my finger in someone else's but, will it be me with the finger stuck in the but, or that other person?

  • In your country, what "common" animals are tourists most excited to see?

    Jump

  • Bears ☠️

    They actually get dangerously close to them, to pet them and take photos of them and feed them, then these tourists wonder why are they being attacked...

  • I think we should slightly rethink how login works on most Fediverse apps (Mastodon, Lemmy, but not only)

    Jump

  • Perhaps you are interpreting their request to not use username and site name and instead use email, to instead use a long form Lemmy username?

    No, I was saying to use their Fediverse username and their Fediverse password. Sorry if I got misunderstood. Nothing to do with the actual email address used at signup.

  • To do so, there would need to be a centralized or federated list of all accounts

    Why would there be? The app would just search for the domain name first (let's say "aussie.zone") and then your username (in your case "hitmyspot"). That's kinda how email works as well. What centralized database would you need to interrogate a server on login? It's no different than the current implementation, only that you do not need to remember the website first, just enter the whole username in one go.

  • It's not really hard to type a website, it's rather hard to remember it. You remember your username. Okay. But where were you? mastodon dot what?

    When you use your full address, it's not that hard to remember it.

  • The military-industrial complexes always have something to gain in wars (provided they manage to adapt in time). But there's no other alternative industry that can supply the needed hardware to win a war, when an invasion happens. It just seems that's all what our species can do best: kicking each other, then having a rest for a few dozen years and starting over.

  • Android 15 will free you from using Google Wallet as your default wallet app

    Jump

  • There are not, and probably will never be, as they require proprietary blobs (e.g. see this issue in Catima)

  • What does a post-piracy world look like?

    Jump

  • No, I don't think it will go like that.

    But if piracy would go away, then it would mean we live in a great world:

    • Software: FOSS/Freeware/Donationware software prevails. People want to use this kind of software, and this is the go-to for any appliance. People would be deeply affected if they could not use free (as both in freedom and/or money, as mentioned before) software - gone will be the days of everyone needing Adobe products or MS Office for their professional work, and the year of the Linux desktop would be in the history books.
    • Movies and TV shows: They would be available anywhere, on demand, in any format. Or there would be this website where you would go to and watch whatever you would, without ads. It would kinda be the same with music.
    • p0rn: I don't have enough knowledge in this field, I just go to certain websites when I need. Guess it would be like on the previous point? idk.

    As long as those points are not achieved, there will always be a need for piracy, and people will always find new ways to get their content. So far, I do not see us being somewhere even close to that ideal world, so there are plenty of reasons for piracy to exist.

    I personally try to pirate things more ethically, for example I try to buy music and games whenever I can, but I know several people that pirate stuff just because they can.

  • In your area/country, did you have a word or phrase to describe the static white noise on a television set not tuned to a channel?

    Jump

  • Something like that. I always heard it from my parents and grandparents that "it's with fleas" or "you can see with fleas" when that happened. I never knew what was the link between those, but it sounds funny all the time, lol.

  • What other parts of the fediverse are you using?

    Jump

  • Friendica is really versatile. To get started, I'd suggest you watch @anubis2814a's videos (on the tagged PeerTube account or on YouTube) in order to get used to all the functions on the platform. There's also a Wiki on their website (and likely on the node you may choose) or you can post any question on !helpers

  • What is something that 2020s kids will never get to experience?

    Jump

  • I cannot reply to a previous comment, due to it not federating here, but the children of 2020s will literally be online from day one!

    There are countless parents that are posting pictures of their newborns on social media, on Instagram or Facebook, straight to a server in California, so imagine that every single person whose parents are like oh, I don't care about privacy, I got nothing to hide bro will have at least one photo there.

    And it's not only that. They'll just never get to experience how life goes with no computer in sight, with no smartphones, not even cellphones at all. No computer, and more importantly, no internet, just cartoons on TV such as Life with Louie or Courage the Cowardly Dog or the Looney Tunes series. And even more importantly, no social media. None at all. Nothing to distract you from actually living.

  • Announcing Ibis, the federated Wikipedia Alternative

    Jump

  • US-controlled and domiciled site - yes, but I do not see it having a monopoly on information at all. Sure is big, has lots of info, pages, it is a rather good resource in linking stuff to the various concepts that you want to explain others e.g. in an argument.

    But the very fact that anyone can edit information makes it not recommendable in academia, for example (really, when I was a student, all my professors were generally not recommending it for information because, as one of them said, even grandma could edit it). So I don't think I would trust ibis on scientific articles either, at least not in the fields I'm directly interested in - maybe for some random trivia/did you know stuff, idk.

    limited / niche wikis

    But this is where I think it would really shine, indeed, as one could make a wiki about a game or software more easily, probably link pages from different instances, etc. (as others said already).

    Don't know what else to say, it just seems like an interesting project. Congrats to anyone involved on this first release and looking forward to see what this project will bring.

  • I kinda get all the Threads worries and the fact that some people might not be comfortable with Meta collecting their data for advertising. But this is just insane. It just makes me think people are just irrationally angry at everything, and they like being that, instead of informing themselves about what everything does.

  • Probably they just want to use the same app they're using for listening to music. Although I also have them both. And I love AntennaPod more for podcasts, plus there's no tracking, and it's just a different experience overall.
