I enjoyed the read, and it leaves some interesting questions for further research as well as asks some interesting questions about the future. Ideally ActivityPub will grow to a point where big tech cant own it but we will see. For now I will enjoy my slice of the free good old web, with the rest of my fellow neckbeards and greybeards.
If you admin your own instance then you can control any IP Fingerprinting related to your use.
But they are not held to the same labor standards, environmental standards, intellectual property laws, or fair financial support.
So of course they're cheaper and of course they have parody because they're using forced labor stolen intellectual property and being funded by an authoritarian regime.
If China's willing to play on the big stage and a somewhat fair way then maybe I would consider buying a vehicle from them.
Why when I can buy reliable and well-made cars from the North America and Japan?
Yeah... saw that and instantly was like shit they got me.
I held on to Inbox as long as I could, it was simply better.
no, but it is what I use.
I want the original Google Now, because it actually worked.
actually its easier because you just apply the UTC offset, and that is assuming its a cold call. If your setting up a call via email or chat or something like that you just say what time do you want to talk tomorrow. I work from UTC 13:00-21:00, and I see that you work UTC 07:00-15:00. How about we have our call at UTC 14:00?
doing this type of international communication gets simpler because now you dont need to convert into a local reference on both sides. Since you both work in UTC you have a standard reference and all the conversion is unnecessary.
"i will call you tomorrow" already does not define a time period. And nothing is stopping Noon from being a local time, its just that your noon in Hawaii would be UTC -10. So saying I will call you tomorrow afternoon still means I am calling in the later half of the day even in global UTC. You are just defining it with a local reference.
Currently if I want to call someone in Japan, or Australia I already cant say I will call you tomorrow afternoon, because its already tomorrow when I get up.
The only reason why you need to do math is because you're not used to it. Once you're used to it you can just apply your local offset if you absolutely need to but otherwise you would just wake up when it's time to wake up and your UTC and you'd go to bed when it's time to go to bed in your UTC.
I think my favorite overclock was back in the early Conroe days when Intel first released the core m processor. I bought an Asus white book and after assembling everything and doing on a power-on test I immediately powered it off and did a pin modification to force the socket from 100 megahertz front side bus to 133 megahertz front side bus.
It was such a simple modification that netted me significant performance improvements and voided my warranty in the first 5 minutes.
