It's not easy. I see something along the lines of:
Tax the rich (we should do that anyway)
Introduce a UBI (universal basic income), which we need if automation increases
Artists don't need to make money with their art amymore
Art is free
Good™️ artists can still earn more via comissions
I have the — for some quite radical — take that knowledge should be free, labor should be paid. Anything that can be shared/copied without anshy cost should be open to be used by anyone.
Hab' mir eben gerade Thunder heruntergeladen und bin sehr zufrieden. Äusserst slicke App, auch wenn es wie die meisten anderen noch klar Alphasoftware ist.
Nextcloud has an app which allows people to book time slots in your calendar. I don't recall the name right know but you'll find it in the Nextcloud app stoee.
Speaking of scale only, bigger instances are certainly better. More and smaller instances increase the coordination overhead significantly (remember that your instance saves and serves a copy of any remote post. In the extreme case this means every server needs to have a copy of all other servers. Also, the more instances, the more peers each server has to ask for an update.
Many small instances have other benefits though, among them higher resillience and independence.
Ich nicht. Gibt Tage, wo mein Feed hauptsächlich aus !Technology@beehaw.org besteht, nur weil es eine grössere und aktivere Community als die meisten anderen ist. Einen etwas ausgeglicheren Feed würde ich begrüssen.
Honestly? I don't care. I don't use corporate "social" media and I'm very happy with the Fediverse. If you do something for profit, profit will always come first. Even before I became a Fedizen, I knew public discourse cannot reliably be provided by greedy corporations. I'm just surprised it didn't happen earlier and that the people are surprised about what's happening now.
Mostly Markdown too, but I wouldn't call that an "office suite". I rarely use classic office suite software. If I have to, LibreOffice and at work I had to use — surprise — M$ Office.
TL;DR
He is doubling down without really answering the important questions. Not why the deadline is so short (they've been talking about API changes forever), not if there could be a more reasonable pricing (=no).
And it's hard to know better in advance, but quite important is that you also choose your (instance) moderators — the people who decide in the end what you're allowed to see and say.
