Maybe I’m dumb but I had a hard time to grasp what it is actually. I guess I imagine something different behind the word “cloud”. A “platform” or “ecosystem” sounds more fitting to me

But especially photos storing sounds kind of extreme for small opensource project like this, do you have a storage for all those data? That could be huge

Also is the project itself open source? I can’t find the repository

And a security would be a huge topic for me for platform like that

Anyway, I guess I have to give it a try and a lot of my questions will clear up

The what?

Ok I list some useful links I needed to lookup

Don’t forget the 2012, possibly the biggest threat to humanity in our lifet … I can’t finish this with a straight face :D

I was thinking long and hard about this to form an opinion, but my answer is no.

The final decission point was: I’m from Slovakia, it’s no secret that Russia would love to take us under their sphere of influence. You and your instance is not only supporting this, you’re actively propagating this. In fact, I’m pretty sure if Russian soldiers would be at my doorstep, threatening my family, you and your instance would be cheering. And when I would realize, that I actively supported this, that would break me.

If you’re about to publish your work for free, I gladly use it as long as it’s run by good people like lemmy.world. This way you get no support from me. If I’d pay you, I don’t know what part of my support would end up in .ml instance which I see as a propaganda machine against countries like mine. And even if you say that none of my money would end up there, I kind of don’t want to support you as a human being. I won’t pay your salary so you have energy to do what you do on .ml instance.

If Lemmy as a project dies, so be it. Foss world can always spark successful forks (see OpenElec vs LibreElec) and alternatives like PieFed already exist

I wouldn’t say you made a mistake. Lemmy is still a great place and instances like lemmy.world you’re on, are run by down to earth people like you and me.

It’s just that Lemmy’s core code is (primarily) developed by people who … well, have some opinions. However, that probably shouldn’t even matter. Developers’ opinions are just that - opinions. They don’t put any of their opinions into the code. And that code is then taken by people of lemmy.world to run the instance.

And up until now it wasn’t a big issue, it was more like a curiosity “Hah, this great piece of software is developed by those guys. Well I strongly disagree with them and want to have nothing with their instance and their opinions”. But now it starts to be an issue when they ask for money. People are naturally reluctant

Holy fuck, is that a H&K G3? Are those still used?

I respectably disagree.

Yes, OSM is for humans but navigation isn’t its only purpose. People are mapping mundane things like trees, grass patches or manholes, in my opinion a huge structure like a staircase is worth mapping, even if as a single point. And actually - this concrete staircase is actually used daily by the people in that office building, so it’s not just a fire escape.

Please don’t kill the enthusiasm in people

Pfff I know all about the aptitude, who do you think I am? Someone who doesn’t know the aptitude? I use it all the time for a lot of … stuff the aptitude does

Here we go!!! I was expecting the enshitification of this thing for past couple of years

So what’s next Microsoft? My biggest fear is you taking OSM and EEE-ing it

Now calm down, Ned-dily-diddly-diddly-diddly… they did their best, shoddily-iddly-iddly-diddly… gotta be nice, hostily-iddly-diddly-iddly…Ah hell diddly-ding-dong-crap! Can’t you morons do anything right?

If you have to ask, then you don’t know

Also if your wife enjoys being fucked, she might be a spiritual gay man. And do you know how we call people who fuck gay men?

Hahaha, saving

Holy crap, that guy looks just like my colleague from Vienna! 🙃

I’m jumping into downvote pool but yolo - I kind of like Bill Maher. I don’t agree with him on everything, let’s say I disagree with like 30% of his points. But rest of it is kind of on point? And that’s fine, I don’t have to agree with people on everything. Actually that’s one of the points I liked from him - to learn to disagree. In today’s polarized world that’s a surprisingly refreshing idea. On the other hand I fundamentally disagree with him on Covid-19. So yeah. Also I find myself laughing at his jokes quite a lot, he has good writers imo

Thank you! I mean how many more reasons do people need?
