I didn’t say I like centralized sites though. Web 2.0 didn’t necessarily bring centralized sites; it brought user contributions and user-to-user communication. Forums and wikis were big for example. It also popularized interoperability with things like RSS and Atom.

I don’t know much about AI models, but that’s still more than other vendors are giving away, right? Especially "Open"AI. A lot of people just care if they can use the model for free.

How useful would the training data be? Training of the largest Llama model was done on a cluster of over 100,000 Nvidia H100s so I’m not sure how many people would want to repeat that.

Yeah… I hope that it becomes a standard part of Android one day.

Web 2.0 was good though. It signified the change from the “original” web mostly being publishers running their own individual, mostly static sites with no user interaction, to user-generated content (social media, photo and video sharing sites, forums, wikis, etc) with some level of interoperability between sites.

GrapheneOS supports it.

We all know what the actual outcome will be though. The police will investigate themselves and find that they didn’t do anything wrong, while the officer is either on paid leave or silently transferred to another department.

Creators on Facebook do get paid though, at least if they’re big enough I guess 🤔 https://creators.facebook.com/earn-money

Also the AI model Meta maintains (Llama) is the most powerful open-source model that anyone can use and even build their own commercial products on top of for free, so I’m not sure it’s accurate that nobody wants it?

What a terrible day to have eyes

Shouldn’t be too difficult to swap it out for ZeroSSL. You’d need to remember to update CAA records though.

I think Cloudflare enshittifying is a bigger risk that Let’s Encrypt.

ZeroSSL, plus a few paid companies support ACME (I know Sectigo and GoDaddy do). Sure, the latter are paid services, but in theory you can switch to them and use the exact same setup you’re currently using with Let’s Encrypt, just with some config changes.

They also made it a open protocol (the ACME protocol), so now there’s a bunch of certificate providers that implement the same protocol and thus can work with the same client apps (Certbot, acme.sh, etc). I know Sectigo and GoDaddy support ACME at least. So even if you don’t use Let’s Encrypt, you can still benefit from their work.

I remember the days when each site that wanted to use SSL had to have a dedicated IP.

Why not script it so you don’t have to do it manually?

TLS certificates have huge margins, so web hosts love selling them.

I’d also argue that the fact that it’s 100% automated and their software is open source makes it objectively more secure. On the issuing side, there’s no room for human error, social engineering, etc.

Sometimes the open source equivalent is better. SmartTube is a much better app than the official YouTube app for Google TV / Android TV even though there’s just one developer working on it. Even if it didn’t support ad blocking, I’d still use it. Very nice app.

Similarly, pirate TV/movie apps often have a much better user experience than the legit ones. Compare Weyd, Syncler, or Stremio+Torrentio to the Amazon Prime video app for example. At least on Android (phone, tablet, TV), the Amazon app is garbage even though there’s highly paid employees working on it.

In both cases, the people who work on the independent apps usually care about the user experience and use the app day-to-day themselves, rather than being told to do whatever makes the most money for the company. They have no reason to lock you in or otherwise force you to use the app, and instead compete just by having a better app.

Thanks for the links. I appreciate it! Now I understand the issue.

It’s the only voting system in existence where ranking someone higher on the ballot can cause them to lose the election.

Interesting… Do you have an example of this?
