This guy is being reasonable, get the pitchforks!

Nothing is private on the fediverse, and Mastodon’s bodge only gives the illusion of privacy. There should be zero expectation that any fediverse software will follow their non-standard extensions.

That doesn’t solve the last mile problem, or transport for all the people who live outside of a few dense cities.

What happened? Why did github block them?

That’s what happens when you have a reasonable sensor suite with LIDAR, instead of trying to rely entirely on cameras like Tesla does.

It demonstrates that nothing on the fediverse is private, and bad hacks that pretend otherwise are a terrible idea.

There’s easily over a thousand fediverse instances at this point, having to whitelist them all would be impractical.

Yeah, I did mine like 15 years ago around when they first started accepting international orders (At the time they didn’t even have labs in the UK and they paid to TNT overnight ship my spit to America)

Some forum software is starting to support activitypub with plugins. If they add the plugin then you can follow and interact with the forum from Lemmy. The best option for everyone is to start pestering forum admins to add those plugins so they get users and Lemmy gets more content.

Long term creating migration scripts for popular forum software like phpBB, so content, users, etc, can be moved to a custom Lemmy instance would be an option.

Helium was interesting, but they locked it down so you can only use their proprietary hardware for access points, it seems kinda scammy.

IPFS is used by several archive projects like Anna’s archive and libgen.

Meshtastic is a distributed local mesh network for text messaging.

Now seems a good time to point out there is an alternative DNS root that isn’t censored https://opennic.org/

It sounds ridiculous but then I wonder if trump could resist the offer of a knighthood.

Throw in a few crates of tea to replace the ones lost in that unfortunate boating accident and we’ll consider it.

If an AI is detecting bugs, the least it could do is file a pull request, these things are supposed to be master coders right? 🙃

You should add a disclaimer that bug priority will be assigned based on to the politeness of the reporter.

It’s sometimes called a feature bounty.

The only issue is it incentivises focusing on new features, leaving old stuff unmaintained. If you’re asking for money to fix bugs, that incentivises writing code with bugs, as if you write perfect code first time nobody will pay you to fix it.

They’d probably melt it down instead, just to avoid giving it back.

I’ll add that every other self driving car company has a pretty good safety record, specifically because they do use LIDAR and RADAR so they can see better than humans.

Or a badly painted sign that says “Free charging”

The plugin ecosystem is full of freemium garbage. It’s also designed so a functional site basically requires the jetpack plugin, which is a connector to automattic’s proprietary SaaS.
