I have hosted a PeerTube instance and surprisingly the storage is not a problem because it is very cheap these days.
About the bandwidth, if you enable PeerTube's p2p tech (WebTorrent) you can have a fair number of users streaming at the same time (but it's not great for privacy).
I have proposed a network of PeerTube instances to a group of youtubers each with tens to hundreds of thousands subscribers and the benefits/costs ratio looked pretty good to them. It didn't work for other reasons.
Notice that youtubers earn basically nothing from YouTube except those with millions of subscribers. They are on YouTube just for visibility but if enough creators move at the same time they can also move a good percentage of the userbase in my opinion.

Thanks, though the article also says that Telegram states they didn't share any data because they have never stored it (like IP).

Telegram is known to occasionally hand out users' data in extraordinary circumstances
Source? And what circumstances? AFAIK it never happened.

Akregator is part of KDE PIM, not Plasma. Maybe it will be ported to Qt6/KF6 but the average user won't be able to notice the difference.

Because in English all proper names have the first letter capitalized, it doesn't matter if it's a brand that uses only lowercase in its logotype. This is the rule.
So: Systemd, Git, KDE Neon, Iphone, Ipad, Mac OS and so on.

Everywhere, no matter the page, you can write:
- [[Book name]]
- [[Quotes]]
- Plain quote here.
- Another quote here.
or:
- [[Book name]]
- Plain quote here.
#quotes
You can retrieve them with the query:
{{query (and [[Book name]] [[quotes]])}}
Remember that queries look for references also in the parent blocks, so the following:
- [[Author name]]
- [[Book name]]
- [[Quotes]]
- A quote.
matches:
{{query (and [[Author name]] [[Book name]] [[quotes]])}}
So you can group your quotes and tag them only once instead of repeating the same tag on different lines.
You can embed the quote somewhere else and style it as a quote using the >
symbol:
- > ((block-id))

I think the least worst is OpenSUSE Leap or Tumbleweed with Plasma, because they have good support of containerization technologies, so you use the OCI images you prefer to develop and you can rest assured that the system will boot even in case of errors if you use snapshots by BTRFS. Plasma has desktop widgets for viewing issues from GitHub and GitLab which are very handy.

I'm not talking about Lemmy, but the entire Fediverse. Matrix is not for instant messaging only, as its authors keep saying. Matrix is basically a decentralized database for real-time content with permissions and end-to-end encryption built-in. ActivityPub is good only for public content and can't guarantee a modern user experience when it comes to federation, as I said as the network grows it adds inconsistencies and common users are confused by it.
disrooter 3 years ago • 66%
P.S. nothing stops someone from implementing both Matrix and ActivityPub on the same server: the former to federate with other Matrix servers and the latter to keep the federation with Mastodon & Co.
disrooter 3 years ago • 66%
Did you not realize that if your instance has not yet interacted with another and you want to see the profile of a user you will never see his old posts but you will only receive new ones if you click "follow"? Or the busted counters that are different depending on how your instance is connected to the others? Practically with ActivityPub the information hardly spreads, with Matrix you have the assured consistency.
And then the Access Control Lists, they are not supported by ActivityPub so no stuff like private groups. When it comes to Matrix,they are built-in.
And Matrix defines APIs for both server-to-server federation and client-server communication, while ActivityPub is currently only used for federation. Client-server ActivityPub APIs have been discarded in favor of thin-client APIs such as Mastodon's.
Matrix continually adds new features. ActivityPub is stopped and too generic, it could be expanded in many ways for different use cases but each group of people works on it separately and for now without big results (see ForgeFed).

I hope the opposite i.e. using Matrix protocol for federation instead of ActivityPub, this would solve a lot of problems with federation and enable chats like you wish.

While I hope in the long term Matrix ecosystem will suit all the use cases, even the social ones by replacing/complementing ActivityPub, at the moment even its flagship client that most people are mentioning (Element) can't replace Discord.
Instead I think the best alternative at the moment is Telegram because it has a large userbase, native clients for Linux, Android, Windows etc, voice chats that suit the Discord-like use case and it doesn't use/sell users' data.

I thought "Communities" were already used to group rooms?
Anyway I searched more for these "Spaces" and I found this:
Spaces are particularly interesting because they open up the possibility of Matrix being more than just a big flat namespace of conversations: instead they provide a global fully decentralised hierarchical filesystem, complete with decentralised ACLs, allowing users to publish and curate an arbitrary taxonomy of whatever data they choose (be it real-time conversations, history, data streams, files, objects, etc). This has potential to flip Matrix entirely on its head: Spaces could become the main backbone of the protocol, with chatrooms being mere leaf nodes in a giant tree of collaboration.

Isn't Wire a chat app? Does it have one-to-many/broadcast channels?
I'm asking because I replaced Instagram with another chat app, Telegram, because it has broadcast private/public channel so I can say to people to "follow" me there, on my personal private channel.
disrooter 3 years ago • 100%
By the way, they now have a business model: since broadcast channels with hundreds of thousands of users use to display advertisements, Telegram decided to standardize this behavior, creating a circuit of ads visible in very popular channels relevant to the channel's topic and not to user data. A part of the proceeds goes to the channel manager and a part helps to finance Telegram.

but it is not currently structured as a non-profit organization.
It is an ambiguous sentence. Maybe it meant they don't accept donations, aren't transparent etc? I wanted to check the source but it's behind a paywall. Wikipedia shouldn't really allow articles behind paywalls to be used as a source. However Telegram wrote in its FAQ that it is non-profit, that's enough for me. How they bureaucratically pursue this goal is their business. If they violate their privacy policy they will be prosecuted. If they change it to exploit user data or to sell it, I will stop recommending Telegram.

disrooter 3 years ago • 20%
Calm down, I have the right to report what Didier Raoult said and the studies he provided as source. You can debate on the matter but you can't decide that my comments have to be deleted just because you think Didier Raoult was wrong. Is it clear now?

Didier Raoult is one of the scientists with the higher H-index of the world. The problem is not him, he provided studies as source of his statements and I provided the link.
The problem is people still blindly believe to everything the media says.
We have hundreds of scientists and doctors like him that spoke publicly against some mainstream statements and thousands of doctors that are treating Sars-Cov2 infections more or less how he said.

From what I understand it is just a restriction on calling "Rust" something that is not officially Rust, I don't think there is a problem for anyone who manages code written in Rust instead.
Also from what I know Free Software is about code, it doesn't say anything about how to manage trademarks.

Stallman poses a danger to the system not only because of his ideas about Free Software but because he still keeps alive the approach with which we have obtained all our rights: radicalism. The system to try to discredit Stallman even with fake news and to incorporate only what suits its interests under the name of "Open Source" leaving out the rest of the rights-based political movement (Free Software).

People get fooled by the name. "Linux Foundation" is not a non-profit foundation that wants to increase the adoption of Linux. It is only the consortium of large private corporations that already use the Linux kernel and have an interest in continuing to develop it by supporting new hardware and exploiting it in the best possible way.
It will never support FOSS desktop distributions because it is completely out of scope for the consortium.

That's not the point, Flatpak is like DEB or RPM, at a certain point Debian(-based distros) could offer apps as Flatpak while still using DEB for system packages.
Fedora already provides Flatpak apps and Fedora Silverblue is supposed to only install apps with Flatpak from Fedora's Flatpak repos, from FlatHub or whatever repo the user decides to add.
Mozilla and Libreoffice are already providing official Flatpak builds.
OpenSUSE's OBS service supports building Flatpak packages too.
Probably you know you can find a lot of third party apps like Google Chrome that supports Linux by providing DEB and RPM packages on their sites. This has been tje case for ages.
So what's the difference with Flatpak? It's even better for the use case of distributing untrustworthy apps because they can be properly sandboxed. Flatpak + Wayland is the minimum to make third party software available on Linux distros. Instead DEB/RPM + X11 are meant only for internal use of the distro you choose to trust. Before Flatpak and Wayland you can't even talk about Linux distros as a real platforms for third party apps.
Think better about what you want to criticize, because your arguments that follow are never that great.
"The model code provides a flexible scaffolding for studying alternative vaccination scenarios. Notably, the model predicts that once the endemic state is reached, **mass vaccination may no longer be necessary to save lives.**" "Should the vaccine cause a major reduction in transmission, it might be important to consider strategies that target delivery to older individuals for whom infection can cause higher morbidity and mortality, while **allowing natural immunity and transmission to be maintained in younger individuals.**" "Additionally, during the transition to endemicity, we need to consider how the immune efficacies depend on primary and secondary infections across ages and **how responses differ between vaccination and natural infection.**" "The key result from our model framework that explicitly recognizes that functional immunity to reinfection, disease, and shedding are different is that, in contrast with infections that are severe in childhood, **SARS-CoV-2 could join the ranks of mild, cold-causing endemic HCoVs in the long run.**" "The transition from epidemic to endemic dynamics is associated with a shift in the age distribution of primary infections to lower age groups. **This transition may take anywhere from a few years to a few decades, depending on how quickly the pathogen spreads.** The rate of spread, measured by R0, is determined by a combination of viral properties and **the frequency of social contacts** and **may therefore be reduced by social distancing.**"
