Re:My personal wishlist for a decentralized social network

Decentralisation is best exemplified by email or http. Yes, they enable all kind of things, including bad ones. They behave like infrastructure, just like roads. I enjoy Mastodon because I can find the instance I like best and still be in touch with people from other instances. My instance blocks other instances that they don't like and publicly explains why. When I won't like it any more, I will take my data and move somewhere else without looks my contacts or anything.
Once Nextcloud will have a decent implementation of Activity Pub, I will start my own instance just for myself and I will only see content that I want to see.

Then choose wisely and pay or get involved with the instance where you upload your videos.

That is an extreme exaggeration. From firing about 25% of their workforce, to 'basically all their talent' is a looong way.

Please explain. Your comment is very negative with 0 reasoning.

Fair point about comercial vs open and non-commercial, but until we see what Mozilla actually does, I wouldn't choose the pessimistic view.
I can imagine why not all details are addressed here. Seems like big part of the community is very negative towards Mozilla and for sure they extremely careful with what they say and what they promise.

Found this tutorial: https://www.gilesorr.com/blog/shared-passwordstore.html
There are two ways of having multiple stores and sharing them, but I am not too sure I like these solutions....
Re:KeePassXC 2.6.1
on Friday August 21, 2020 @05:17AM (#24233358)
thanks! If I find a way to use multiple stores in pass, I will switch to it. It seems that it's autofill on Android is a lot better than any Keepass app that I tried.

The article is quite explicit. Here is a small sample:
It has the features you would expect in a video call tool — like audio, video chat and screen sharing, but the UX and the integrations were built exclusively for developers. You can easily share your code and do pair programming. We are building integrations for all the IDEs. This enables you to collaborate without screen sharing (so it's faster and and consumes less bandwidth), directly from your IDE and independently of the IDE that other people are using.

'zoom' tells you that you can video/audio call people, 'for developers' tells you that it has features that help with development. It's quite clear for me.

We don't know that that's the case. There are multiple huge companies working on MDN

The way I handle stuff like the ISIS example is to stop following the fear mongering sources and to simply scroll by those headlines.
Words banning is lot's of work when you don't have a centralised place to manage them and might lead me to misuse it.

Banning words seems the wrong way to go about it.
