Is the Bluesky kind of federation an example for the future of the Fediverse?
Read here what I think about this:

Europe can't federate on rented infrastructure. I wrote on why that is in an follow-up blog post to "A Sovereign Europe".

I would even say that almost any Windows game runs on SteamOS and Linux. (Exception are titles like Fortnite where the publishers and devs don't want to activate Linux support in the anti cheat software that the specific game uses)

Also some would host some LLMs on an own server. 😅

Btw: I'm doing it already on a VPS from Hetzner. 😅

I would more like to self-host LLMs with Ollama and Open WebUI than to use xAI's/Musk's Platform.
Besides that has Mastodon already the option to use DeepL as a translation source.

@npub163h…mv0n 4.4 is out since a few day and rings brings multiple new features. I've wrote an blog post about one of the new features – the experimental Fetch Replies feature.

A (hopefully good) comparison of decentralised video sharing platforms like @npub1wa2…zalq, @npub17gp…7p4g and @npub1lm6…wvr4 to centralised platforms like Youtube and Tiktok went online yesterday.

I have more a feeling that Trump won't have his 100 days on office. I think that we will see a coup of the venture capitalists like Vance.

Sadly that's true. Also somewhat panicking is how a privacy focused company throws themselves under the bus of a dangerous madman.

Zum neuen Jahr würde ich mal eine public Liste mit allen deutschen #Creators im #Fediverse erstellen.
Ganz im Sinne des Fediverse ist diese Liste auf meiner eigenen Nextcloud einzusehen.
Vorschläge und Hinweise sind gerne gesehen.

Hey #fediverse!
How many of y'all use a #smartwatch like e.g. the #Apple Watch?

It's explained on the article for the @npub163h…mv0n Annual Report for 2023. They have more data for the 2023 report than before and have also already started on the 2024 report.
The income is from patreon donations and one large corporate donation of $100,000 from Sujitech - a Japanese tech company.
It is all in the report which is accessible from the linked article.

Hey #fediverse! How do we feel about this icon?
