Firefox is in the same situation. Bloated umbrella org (Mozilla) that has dubious funding sources builds subpar products. Look at how much support implementing JPEG XL had, and how they just didn’t care and completely shut the conversation down when Google said no.
The Matrix foundation didn’t embrace and extend anything, as they were always in control of the spec.
EEE applies to when corporations (notably Microsoft) embraces projects that aren’t theirs and takes them under their wing, expands on functionality which attracts all the users and makes them the sole developer of that functionality, which kills the old, open forks. Microsoft then kills their version of it, and the whole thing dies.
and the backend is no longer fully open source
You have no idea how funny that is because I called it on a whim half a decade ago.
No; in the case of Matrix it’s because the spec is insanely bloated. Nobody wants to work on that, especially for free.

drkt@scribe.disroot.orgto Fediverse@lemmy.world•How will we deal with all the broken images?English16·18 days agoInstances have 3 options. Save it locally, proxy it, or do nothing. Saving every federated image is not feasible for small instances. It’s not a fault of the protocol that instance operators don’t want to pay a thousand dollars a month for storage. Matrix has this problem, and look what happened to them: tiny instances are expensive to run, so don’t flourish.

drkt@scribe.disroot.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•My AI Skeptic Friends Are All NutsEnglish1914·19 days agoThere is a very loud population of AI-haters who don’t hate AI but rather corporate AI but they don’t know what the difference is and can be lead to water but won’t drink it.
If they wanted to stick it to the AI companies, they’d be all in on the open source LLMs. They’re not, though, because they don’t understand it. They’re just angry at this nebulous concept of AI because a few companies pissed in the well. Nobody was upset at AI Dungeon when that came out.

drkt@scribe.disroot.orgto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Guys please in your privacy journey don't forget the routers3·24 days agoIt doesn’t support being flashed to a low-end commercial router like you’d do with OpenWrt, no. Those tend to require special firmware and binary blobs, hence OpenWrt has to specifically support a model or it likely won’t work. It’s like flashing Android ROMs.
OpnSense is great if you’re in the market for totally owning your own router, though. You can get an N100 box with 2 NICs off of ebay or something and slap OpnSense on that. That’s arguably more FOSS than flashing OpenWrt to a cheap commercial router.

drkt@scribe.disroot.orgto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Dead Fediverse Theory & The Infinite Spammers Crisis ft. Some Things I Noticed...11·25 days agoWouldn’t that mean everyone who wants to host their own server will have to be approved by larger instances to be able to use their instance (or else their feed would be empty) that kinda sounds dystopian ngl
Why is that dystopian? Do you think you have in inherent right to engage with any instance?
We already have parallel networks that refuse to engage because they don’t tolerate each other. This is by design. I think you’ll find that this kind of problem sorts itself out when the users are in control of their own bubbles, unlike traditional monolithic social media where users just have to tolerate each other or go somewhere else.

Yes, but you are mistaken if you think your data is safe on closed platforms.
If you post it on the internet, you have to assume it’s gonna be there forever.
