This article is so weird. “We outperformed our competitors because Intel improved the performance of the AWS owned cryptography library we use.”
So like…what did you guys do? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that you did nothing, but your career would go better if you put it in the article that is specifically for bragging about your accomplishment.
How much money do you donate to your ad-free lemmy instance? Or the rest of the free services you’re using?
For the vast majority of people, that number is $0.
Are you willing to bet the stability of an entire language's dependency ecosystem on that? Just so that we can write "crates.io" instead of "crates.rust-lang.org"?
That's really the question. I do agree that there's almost no chance it goes away as too many places and too much money depends on it.
I doubt they will too, but it's still dumb that an entire package ecosystem now has to hope that ICANN will make another exception and special case .io
ICANN tried to phase out .su, the only reason they didn't was because Russia was big enough to tell them no.
Forgot to mention .sh, which is also a ccTLD for a tiny island nation, and also shouldn't be used for hosting anything that is difficult to move.
The 3DS has a screen that size?
Edit: I’m dumb, I made this comment thinking this alarm clock was a watch…somehow. It definitely looks like the sameish size screen
On the feature side, according to Mastodons recent 4.3 release post development is only 4 full time employees and a budget of under $500k annually. That is basically nothing in the realm of social media companies.
Improving Mastodons features requires money and resources, but Mastodons users are unwilling to pay for instances and unwillingly to fund development. Hell, the .world folks host a bunch of instances for collectively hundreds of thousands of users and they take in about $1k a month in donations. I’m surprised that even covers hosting costs.
So…it’s no wonder that it isn’t going to be as polished as other social media in ways that would reduce the attrition.
That’s cool. Personally I just integrated it into my normal chat client by connecting Aichat, which supports a ton of backends including Ollama and hosted options, with Matrix.

PieFed has implemented Topics, which are groups of communities maintained by the instance admin. I think they plan to make topics per user at some point.
Meh, just run several associated services and keep the same username on all of them. Nothing is interoperable, stop trying to force it. And a rogue app with bad user data handling practices is still going to leak your data, even if you store your copy of the data securely.
My fediverse accounts are always "patrick@.bestiver.se". I currently am only running Mastodon/Lemmy and a few supporting services (e.g. a link manager - https://bestiver.se/@patrick), but I'm adding more as I get to them. Pixelfed, Peertube, Loops(?), Piefed...
Adopting this ActivityPods thing looks like it will require each Fediverse project to make what I'd guess are fairly significant changes to their user data handling, and none of those projects are properly funded for this. In fact what this actually seems to be doing is asking every other Fedi app to build on top of their user data API.
I applaud the attempt at building a new standard in the Fediverse, but I doubt it's going to happen.
It’s definitely instance dependent. I run the servers for my instance at the closest Hetzner data center to myself (west coast USA) for latency reduction and over-size/engineer it for better perf.
My instance is open for registration too, if anybody reading here would find that useful.
This was a potential explanation as to why Bezos did that https://lemmy.haley.io/post/1058450
