Didn't the refactored netscape eventually evolve into Firefox though? Not disputing the poster child status or the fact that it's a terrible business decision, but the project did not really go stale I think?

What's IVF in this context?

Just write some content without no soul and not a shred of humanity present. I.e. use the platform as intended.

They already have something kinda like this. All public wifis require that you sign in with phone number and SMS-verification. It might not be as air-tight as whatever the article is about (like a chad I only read headlines), but in practice it seems pretty darn tight IMO.

Is immich in a usable state yet? I was looking for a self-hosted image service a while back, but eventually I just went with pigallery2 mostly due to the extremely simple file storage (just point to a folder and you're good to go), but I do miss being able to manage images/albums from the website and having a more mobile friendly version. I kind of avoided immich due to the repo saying it's under very active development (#scary).

Back in the day, before streaming was a thing, there were lots of people saying that they'd gladly pay for content if it was served to them in a convenient way. But why would you pay for a worse experience (at that time physical media, often at lower quality, and lower availability) when you can get a better one for free?

Along came streaming. Lo and behold, piracy decreased. Where the fuck do you even go to pirate music anymore? All the big sites have shut down. Video piracy is kinda still going strong, probably mostly due to bullshit concerning exclusives, but it's way less than it used to be.

Its their platform, they can do whatever they want with it I guess, but this trend is definitely gonna be a big boost to piracy.

It's fairly new I think. I ran into it first time a week or two ago when going into a test account I haven't used for a while.

Shame really, having at least two users is very useful when building bots. Testing user-specific interactions and such.

Could be difficult. Name is a bit stained.

the biggest selling point for me is that I'll have a mounted folder or two, a shell script for creating the container, and then if I want to move the service to a new computer I just move these files/folders and run the script. it's awesome. the initial setup is also a lot easier because all dependencies and stuff are bundled with the app.

in short, it's basically the exe-file of the server world

runs everything as root (not many well built images with proper useranagement it seems)

that's true I guess, but for the most part shit's stuck inside the container anyway so how much does it really matter?

you cannot really know which stuff is in the images: you must trust who built it

you kinda can, reading a Dockerfile is pretty much like reading a very basic shell script for the most part. regardless, I do trust most creators of images I use. most of the images I have running are either created by the people who made the app, or official docker images. if I trust them enough to run their apps, why wouldn't I trust their images?

lots of mess in the system (mounts, fake networks, rules...)

that's sort of the point, isn't it? stuff is isolated

I think Twitter is going down, may or may not go bankrupt but I think it will lose relevance. Wonder if it will be replaced. Lots of people (myself included) kinda assume that bluesky, mastodon or some other twitter-like service will take over. But Twitter is not really necessary, so I don't think it's a given that something will take its place.

As a time sink, more multimedia-oriented platforms like Reddit/Lemmy, Instagram, Tiktok or Youtube, seem more attractive.
