@helene@p.helene.moe @meeper@outerheaven.club I know VideoLAN can get away with working with all of those codecs because they are located in France and don't have to abide by US patent law

@helene@p.helene.moe yeah, sadly if you want working multimedia support you'll have to set up rpmfusion for that, legal reasons and all

@helene@p.helene.moe the ffmpeg thing shouldn't happen if you're using the rpmfusion version of it

Firefox I'm not really sure about

@helene@p.helene.moe is this about dnf not updating because of openh264?

@michcio@fedi2.0x7f.one mind if I steal your parallel and incremental build commits?

@Johann150@genau.qwertqwefsday.eu @puniko@mk.absturztau.be it's working on my instance

The real irony of Cloudflare's "anti-censorship" talk is that they actively make it difficult for people who use censorship-evading tools like Tor and VPNs to access sites that use Cloudflare.

@tost@mk.toast.cafe sure

well of course someone would make their "birthday" some sort of date in the future...

not sure how i'd handle this sort of thing

@helene@p.helene.moe it's more of nostalgia of the pre-mastodon days of fedi.

A part of me didn't really agree with DeVault's blog post about the fediverse, and at the time I didn't really have a clear counter to his post.

But now, I have a clear idea as to why I couldn't fully agree with that sentiment.

I have thought about the role of social media for a bit over the past few days, and honestly as much as I can sympathize with social media skeptics like Drew Devault's blog post from a while back, I ultimately think the Fediverse is not as toxic of a place as it's made out to be.

Yes, the Fediverse has issues, but these are not unsolvable. In fact, with the Fediverse being run by mostly individuals and small groups instead of large for-profit corporations, it may actually be easier to implement the solutions to those problems.

Fluff metrics like number of followers/likes/renotes/etc. could be made to not show up by default. Timelines can be made to not auto update. These are simple solutions to the problem of the dopamine rush that tends to chain people to social media in an unhealthy way.

Of course these are not the only solutions (or even the best ones), but it does prove that we don't need to just ditch social media entirely.

Also, the main thing that really makes social networks like the Fediverse great for many people is discovery. As in discovering new people, new ideas, and new things in general.

I've made many friends here, been able to express myself better, and also learned things about tech and the world in general. I do think as much as the fediverse can have its issues, it honestly can be good.

@helene@p.helene.moe yeah misskey is easier to understand for sure.

@helene@p.helene.moe foundkey was largely created because misskey has a lot of quirks and syulio didn't seem to interested in fixing those instead of adding in random new features.

@helene@p.helene.moe wouldn't be so sure about misskey imo

@helene@p.helene.moe (Maybe honk, but I haven't looked at it so I can't tell)

@helene@p.helene.moe I think that goes for all of the fedi software out there really. Haven't seen one where things actually make sense code-wise.

@pixel@desu.social @dignny@misskey.io eh, most people there are afk anyways since the server has an integrated bouncer
