All files stored on IPFS are public. It’s also incredibly slow and inefficient. You would be better off using BitTorrent.

The most offensive thing here is the amount={5} attribute. What is it? It’s not XML.

But was it really on purpose? It could very easily be an unintended consequence.

Hm not sure what to make of this. The author of the article states pretty clearly what company they are affiliated with. The comments seem to push a product called Splunk which doesn’t appear in the article at all.

Lemmy is the only community I know where claims of “toxic extreme leftist” cannot easily be dismissed.

I haven’t recognized any posts as covert ads here I think. Can you give an example?

The NGO is a decoy organization with exactly the same people (minus one) as the VC funded startup. Go look at the “core spec team” and find out which organization they belong to.

Your information on XMPP seems to be quite outdated. File transfer in XMPP is now mostly done by uploading the file via HTTP and sending the URL. Audio calls are done using WebRTC and work two ways.

“protocol extensions” (aka: incompatible)

Reality shows that implementations can very well implement the same extensions. If you don’t use extremely outdated clients you will find they do have compatible file transfer and A/V calls. ActivityPub works the same way.

Meanwhile Matrix Ltd. cooks up a completely new, incompatible protocol instead of building upon existing internet standards.

I don’t see the reason we need a venture capital funded bloated protocol anyways. Just switch to XMPP. It’s much more lightweight and it’s the internet standard for instant messaging.

Here is what I used before I switched to desec.io: https://gist.github.com/haansn08/50565768c66c5fbf382b2bc2484e8a41

Math tricks on how to do basic and next level up math skills in a very different way than the west is taught.

As a math undergrad student I can tell you that if it doesn’t involve sitting down and thinking about it with pen and paper for a few hours it’s at best math related entertainment. No useful skills will be remembered.

Can we make the Swastika a Buddhist symbol again?

Maybe. Every time I used a taxi it was a random person I gave money when I arrived at the destination.

Like when using a normal taxi?

“I did a ride the other day, and she said she paid $102 for a 40-minute ride. I got $25, and that’s because I had a $5 bonus!” said Lyft driver Debora Williams. “It’s just ridiculous.”

Come on, cut out the middle man. They’re providing nothing of that value.

I can fix her

Unions aren’t about fucking companies over.

He doesn’t strike me as the reading type, but I’m pretty sure he listens to people who read it.

Set the default download folder to /tmp. In the rare case you actually will need a file you download later, copy it to a better directory.

If the instance defederates, users do not have an option to interact with the defederated instance anymore. The only choice you have then is to join an instance where the moderation policy agrees with your values or host your own instance. If you just want to see if defederation was the right idea, you could just visit those instances directly and look at their local timeline.
