I’m a nerd who enjoys playing Video Games, watching アニメ (Anime) and tinkering with things that probably shouldn’t be tinkered with 🤔
Where does it say new product? I read their announcement and get the impression that it’s an update to an existing product:
“We’ve got one more big update for you, and you can tune into our YouTube channel August 26th at 8am PT to see what it is!”
Bold of you to assume that the line can’t go up further… just think of all those poor shareholders missing out on an even higher value! 😩
So the author of the blog post that the article is based off of actually interacted with some comments over on Hacker News and there were some pretty interesting revelations - such as his resume having Vibecoding as the first skill listed on it and living/looking for jobs on the East Coast with a website sounding like he’s on the West Coast among other things.
I guess the media saw his blog post as a quick means of driving clicks through a clickbait headline. That’s not to say that the market isn’t hot trash at the moment, but I personally doubt Engineers are being replaced by AI.
I was thinking exactly this! At some point a long time ago, all of these centralized platforms were “cool” until “uncool” people started joining and sharing garbage content… now we’re in a bit of a renaissance as these platforms commit social suicide. The more intellectual individuals are both able and willing to jump ship to these “complex platforms”.
Will Grandma or crazy Uncle Bill ever join Mastodon on their own and understand federation? No, probably not. But that guy you went to University with who is now working as a Civil Engineer or Financial Advisor will probably figure it out and migrate when it gets bad enough.
Now I ask, who’s content would you rather see filling your feed? 🤣
I don’t understand - why would ISPs gang up on ActivityPub? How would it force larger instances to “crack”?
Are you saying that they would ramp up costs for utilizing the protocol specifically? Wouldn’t that go against Net Neutrality…?
It appears as though it is…
But saying it pings their servers isn’t quite a fair statement as it’s not some background service that opens a network connection, it sounds to me at least like it’s data that is sent to the Fedora repos once a week when you update your system?
Would be glad to be corrected on this though as I am a long time Fedora user now and I’m not overly fond of my data being collected by big corpo; it’s why I left Windows in the first place 🙄
