According to Google, the idea of replacing current tools with open-source programs would not contribute to economic growth.
Is Google seriously arguing that the money these nations save can’t be added to their GDPs?
That’s what it sounds like. Or am I confused?
Matrix is the federated alternative.


Wait… It is Valentine’s Day!


While I don’t doubt many athletes are being quite active.
I’d also believe it’s a joke at this point for them to all take as many as they can no matter if they intend to use them or not.


Rump and some others in his administration seem to.
At least until he didn’t anymore.


Try it yourself.
Have someone switch between them for you.
Bet you can’t tell either.


I wouldn’t even know what people did.
But maybe…
Hide pieces of my body in the vents of Mar a lago.
Let them rot and stink up the place.


guests download the EVA AI app, create a customizable AI companion and join the cafe’s waitlist.
That’s a generous assumption that there will be a waitlist.


That’s a family plan for 6 people.
It works out to $1.50/person/month.


Sure, but if you make it mandatory to pay for anyone to use - it doesn’t grow.


People make lots of online buisness that grow just fine.
It’s just when people get used to a kind of thing being free, they feel like its impossible or stupid to pay for it. Even when those same people complain about how enshittification ruins everything, they refuse to directly pay instead.


Not even 100 subscribers.
But I was referring to the Fediverse in general. It won’t ever scale to a real global default social network, on the donations and the kindness of strangers.
If we don’t pay for it, then it’ll be paid for by adds.
Then we’re back to what we’re trying to get away from.
Communick or whatever, just pay. Even if it’s a donation.


I played with it. Had no problems. Worked fine.
Then realised it doesn’t do much for me personally. But it seems cool.


It’s not free. Servers and bandwidth cost money.
If you’re not paying, someone is being generous and paying for you.
No I don’t work there. But I have been paying for 2 years. And it’s the only way for the Fediverse to scale. Donations won’t get us to 100M users and beyond.


I’m happy with Communick. They offer Lemmy, Mastodon, Matrix, and Funkwhale for one subscription. Its worth paying for, because the Fediverse isn’t free.


As an X-ray tech, I’m disappointed there isn’t a single image.
It would be worth 50k words to see just one image this makes.


What’s the answer to Life the Universe and Everything?
Or How many roads must a man walk down?
42


It’s too vague. So is the answer.
By their definition I love having and keeping a job. That doesn’t sound right to me.
I would say none.
Maybe to be a member of a species requires at least a history of a single breeding pair?
