@antichrist_hater@helene >given enough time the inherently superior technology will win I'm not convinced of this, not without us fighting tirelessly for it at least. Which I will do anyway.
@antichrist_hater@helene Keep in mind that AP's popularity is largely driven by mastodon. I'm sure I don't need to point out the flaw in your logic there.
@antichrist_hater@helene@blackmore It's not that the size of the network is too small to justify it, it's more that a new proto tends to be new because it's fundamentally incompatible. If there were a way to shoehorn feditron9000 into AP it would probably just be an AP extension instead.
@helene@antichrist_hater Arguing against a new proto on the technical grounds of that proto is fine. Arguing against it because "nobody uses it" is bad. If there is nothing technically wrong with the proto, use it. Then there'll be people using it.
@helene@antichrist_hater But the solution is simple. Dead simple. There's no missing the point on the part of the people making the software, only on the part of you who would detract because of it.
@fuggy@nerdtronics Android has some batshit retarded permissions. The premise of it is great but holy fuck toggling wifi state should not be automatically granted and never mentioned, not to mention changing volume and several other things. Anyway fairphoneos is actually android, and I'm pretty sure there are lineage builds for at least one of each of the other lines.
@fuggy@nerdtronics It's fine if you only execute code from people you trust. Step executing random code served up to you from random places and you'll have no problems.
