Populist Fascism playbook. This gets them votes from single issue voters that would normally be outside their voter base.

“He might be a terrible person, but he’s fighting the fight for {Privacy, against big tech, etc.}”

Also, monetizing the ability to find searches that are not AI slop is, for lack of better phrasing, fucking bullshit.

The just in time economy is running a little bit late.

I and my group are all just on matrix.org. We didn’t want the risk of dealing with potentially less reliable servers or federation.

Absolutely a strong way to go.

Yea, there are some historical reasons for the integrations, but they could do a better job evolving the UI to match the current state of things for sure.

I run a Matrix server and it’s deffo YMMV based on the server admin and how good they are at maintaining things.

Getting the federation to work can also be a chore and a half. Otherwise it works super well. The clients often implement features on top of the protocol (looking at Element and their weird jitsi integration for instance).

some clients had the ability to parse image links If included in the gemtext, but that was client specific.

It’s a wonderful protocol, but I’ve noticed way too many gems getting put up and then never being maintained, not just by way of content, but also certificate management isn’t managed so the server is still existing there, but the content is inaccessible.

Gopher with certificates.

The problem here is that who owns a data center isn’t a matter of breaking the law. It’s only if the data center starts breaking the law, and only then can the lawmaker share that the law is being broken and by whom. It wouldn’t give them carte blanche to go out and say “Microsoft owns that land”.

Good Security and record Profits are antithetical Ideals.

Probably point to point WiFi, either for an office in LoS or for a wISP.

If they’re super progressive they might also be letting some hobbyists put a LoRA rig up there.
