I wasn't aware of the controversy, but I'm not surprised it's yet another mess caused by the existence of the British empire.

They apparently have accidentally the whole thing.

More people would be able to innovate on said "non IP". Multiple lines could be developed by multiple independent teams, extending the non ip however they see fit. By encouraging competition, the better content would thrive.

It lowers the barrier of entry, enforcing competition and lowering distribution cost. And without the ludicrous profit margins and legal overhead from big conglomerates, it would be cheaper for the consumers, and more of the fees could be distributed to the actual people working on the creation.

This is prettyranty, sorry if it's not too clearly articulated.

They are Iranian, Serbian and something else, if I'm not mistaken. An interesting mix.

I mean. In teams the client is the business, not the employees.

So... There's no plans to decommission it, ever?

And progress in moderating tools would be made.

They would block lemmygrad, so I don't really have to care. Being on lemmygrad makes that stuff self selective. 🎉

We're not advocating violence. Your premise is wrong.

But we know our adversaries commonly use violence, so we're aware it exists, and we know we have to prepare for it.

Are colonialist governments not violent? How do you remove from office a government that commits violence against their people, en masse, to destroy their land with mining operations?

Concrete example: how would the Congolese vote the French out, when anyone organising peacefully against the French is assassinated?

The point is not violence. But it would be naive to ignore the violence of our adversaries.

Dude. Fucking buttons. We're so amazing!

I had a low end Samsung like this and I miss it so much.

 

I know I could duckduckgo it, but I think we're at the stage at lemmy where there's space to ask basic questions.

What is it? Why does it matter? Users at which lunix proficiency level should care about it? Is it just yet another competing standard or is x actually going to die?

Lemmy, federation and activity pub have taken my brain to some weird places in these last few months.

What if the world had a federated, activity pub based, passenger transport and delivery app?

Anyone with enough tech literacy to have their own WordPress blog could also start their own local (as in, for their neighbourhood) instance of uber/lyft/doordash, effectively for free. Moderating and establishing quality and trust between customers and providers on their own communities.

Customers could use fronted like jerboa to add as many local instances as they'd like. Or drivers could subscribe to multiple sources of passengers. Or, anyway, networks between restaurantes, delivery and customers.

Some form of opencollective project/format could be use to fund development teams working on it.

I know it's a huge endeavour. Can you please challenge my initial thoughts? Is the logic sound? What am I missing? Do you know of anything like it?
