Real vanilla is also very expensive, so having an exotic and expensive flavour as the default is pretty weird.

And then you have ASML who sell the foundry equipment that makes the steel.

They still had to buy new hardware, because the newer Windows version didn’t support the old hardware anymore.

With Mastodon being a German non-profit company, it’s natural that Germany is also well-represented with a federal instance social.bund.de, instance for the state of Baden-Württemberg bawü.social (both since 2020), world’s largest public broadcasters ARD ard.social and ZDF zdf.social, and AFAIK the first news publisher to officially launch its own instance, Heise social.heise.de. There are probably loads of other instances and accounts I’m missing.

PS: The production company behind ZDF Magazin Royale (late night comedy and investigative journalism show, think Last Week Tonight ) is also running a private instance edi.social and a public instance det.social, named after the Mainzelmännchen.

Even more so, if you consider that the LLMs are marketed to replace the authors.

Both are at fault: Google for distributing pirated material and OpenAI for using said material for financial gain.

They’ll probably be called X-AEA-12-3b’s, or something similar. He’s seems to be an XCOM fan, so it needs to be something futuristic and cool 🛸

There’s an Ansible playbook that allows you to install everything easily, but I don’t know how difficult the maintenance is. It’s definitely possible to self-host Matrix with bridges.

I like KDevelop or Gnome Builder for KDE or Gnome, respectively. If you’re okay with proprietary IDEs, the ones from Jetbrains generally work well and can be installed via Flathub. I honestly prefer them to VSCode or Atom.

EDIT: Gnome Builder supports containers, so it’s perfect for immutable operating systems like Fedora Silverblue. It can be a bit buggy, however.

There are a few more settings you can tweak than your standard messenger (e.g. message bubbles or timeline), but the day-to-day interaction should be fairly similar. Chat rooms allow you to chat with any number of participants. Matrix doesn’t really differentiate between “direct” chats and group chats, as you can always add more participants later. Spaces are a way to organise rooms, like a folder.

There are many different types of bridges, but the most seamless one is a type of Man In The Middle (MITM). You give the bridge full access to your other services, which allows them to copy everything to Matrix and vice versa. Naturally, this circumvents E2EE as the bridge needs to access and manipulate the content somehow (E2EE only exists up to the bridge, not the whole way to your client). The bridge can theoretically do anything, as it is a MITM. However, because most bridges are open source and you can host them yourself, the risk that unauthorised parties can gain access to the data is fairly low. If it’s hosted by a third party, you have to trust them that they won’t abuse their power.

I learned about it from the reports that too many people were sending top secret information to .ml domains instead of their official .mil counterparts.

Depends on how you define “hard left”.

For some people, the engagement has been similar on Mastodon, even though they only have a fraction of the followers. This might suggest that either Mastodon users are generally more engaged (they actively chose to follow and can see every post) or that Twitter follower numbers were artificially inflated.

If you want to use a paid service from the developers, there’s Element One: https://element.io/element-one

I don’t think you can from Lemmy, but /kbin has a microblogging feature where it’s fully integrated.

I hope they will give Flatpak some love, when they release the Linux version.
