the coin put the original meme in its shadow at this point. Also it’s not that culturally relevant anymore, whole doge kinda still is.

Cool but the proper solution is that they shouldn’t have access to this data at all. It should be either stored locally, or encrypted on their servers. Companies not being able to access their consumer data should be the default.

I thought this was a satire site

I think the massive privacy benefits outweigh things like that, which should be documented properly anyways

How can this man be so based. The world simply didn’t deserve him.

No way that’s crazy (I didn’t read any of that)

To actually keep data persistent on IPFS and not be deleted by the garbage collector, you need to have a server(s) pin the node that holds that data.

You either host these servers yourself, or pay providers to store it for you.

And at that point you just reinvented a server simply hosting your data but with extra steps.

There’s a big issue with this.

If malicious content like CP gets uploaded on to a server, obviously other servers do not want this to be replicated to their servers. So how would you solve this problem? Well they could give all moderation power to the original server they’re replicating, but that could be far too slow or they could even miss malicious content like this. Or maybe they even disagree about taking down certain things.

Another solution is that any server participating in the content mirroring could take it down for just themselves or for all the other members as well. The issue here is now you’re expanding moderation abilities, while also giving the other servers much more responsibilities.

It’s not as simple as wanting to replicate content. If you host it, you are responsible for any illegal content a user may upload to it. Not to mention laws vary by country as well. Ignoring the technical challenges here, it’s also mandatory that the other servers replicate the other servers data to also choose to be responsible for what gets uploaded. And that is a really big ask. The law doesn’t care about the technical reasons, they’ll just see illegal content uploaded to your server.

Personally I’m in the camp that I want history to be lost. That’s part of the appeal to me. In fact my favorite feature in the fedi is Mastodon’s option to enable auto-deleting posts of a certain age.

Only content that is explicitly pinned or reaches a certain amount of interactions should be saved imo. Since that’s the stuff you’d actually want to preserve rather than the 99% of forgettable content, and it would also drastically cut down on file hosting.

Another thing is that a federation should only act as the exchange between users on ActivityPub. It should only cache relevant information and not be expected to store everything, like I wrote before. The user should be a portable account that is stored on a device. The federation server would sync your account between your devices, but not store it. You send your content to the federation, and then the federation sends it out into the world where they choose to do what they want with it. The federation shouldn’t hoard it indefinitely.

Also this makes sense from a privacy perspective. If you care about privacy, why would you also want all your data indefinitely stored? Unless certain things are relevant and explicitly kept, it should be expected to expire and be lost by default. Where did we get this expectation that data should be stored forever? Also you expect it to be stored forever and not be trained on by AI?

This comment for example, after about a week or two most of the visibility and interaction of it will drop to zero. At that point, this comment should expire and no longer exist. I wrote this comment, it reached some people, and served it’s purpose and should expire. I’m not going to pretend like this comment is some kind of historic document that should be indefinitely preserved, nor do I expect or want it to be.

Why would you need to host this? Why not just have a client that does backups?

is this your alt

Wow are the graphics absolutely gorgeous

I tried and couldn’t find it on my system. I run Linux btw.

If I saw the new and old bags next to each other, I probably wouldn’t even notice the difference before reading this headline lol. It’s basically the same.

The free market is going very well here

I get what he means by its annoying, but really what the fuck is with that wording “you should be shot” when we know you’re just talking about being annoyed?? It says so much about a kind of person when they’re comfortable saying something this vile. Using extreme violence as a point of emphasis over an every day annoyance. Like holy fuck there’s so little people who can say these kind of things publicly without extreme repercussions, it’s so extremely privileged.

You realize all these terrible opinions start with you realize?

You realize Skyrim was released over 13 years ago… Right? I can’t understand how this stance makes any sense.

Yes they are. Why the hell would you not? What a toxic comment, we haven’t even seen anything about the game and you’re already complaining about it simply existing.

Stats are incredibly boring. People want to see upgrades that actually do something, stuff like perks. Those are far more interesting and tangible than leveling your CHR stat from 32 to 33.
