Panoramax is one the most important things for healthy map apps competition.

Cool, now we need an Android fork.

There are ones: - https://lineageos.org/ - https://grapheneos.org/

I'm not sure who's targeted here. The folks that want to invade the EU ?

That dual meaning stood out to me too

This is obvious. Most people won't take the bus if it's too slow. Well in the US you can't bike without getting killed except in some rare cities, so cycling is not a competition, but it would replace the bus if it were allowed.

Not sure how the fediverse that missed the Twitter alternative because of its design complexity, will get the video market, a lot less geek.

Let me present my take on why the federated alternatives struggle to replace X:

Twitter didn't succeed because it was a particularly good solution - it really isn't. It succeeded purely on the back of the network effect.

When every open-source alternative simply copies the existing restrictions without adding any unique value, why would users switch to an equally flawed version where none of the accounts they actually want to follow are?

People did fly to Bluesky. Some accounts there have 1 million followers.

Bluesky got the decentralisation UX right.

My take is that Bluesky got the network effects right, with hyping and gradual release and careful curation of who seeded the network and that is - IMO - the important thing they got right.

What do you mean by 'the fediverse that missed the Twitter alternative'? I thought Mastodon is the Twitter alternative. Sorry; I didn't het it.

Bluesky became that, while Mastodon had months of head start.

I guess I don't get why all of these don't target better user experience goals - one login / trust plane and full distribution for decentralization.

The way I'd look at it is more like Bitcoin where everyone can decide how much compute to give to the pool to verify people or posts and maybe everyone shares chunks of the whole pie with copies like freenet.

Maybe I'm (likely) too dumb to get why this isn't what things in the fediverse is but they all are an awful experience and having so many hosts makes critical mass non existent so I can't be bothered to participate.

How is this comment in any way relevant to the article or this discussion? Does Codeberg provide static analysis for CVE verification?

Talks about ubiquitous AI but can't make a blog post readable for humans :/

That animated background is terrible.

Incredibly distracting. No way to turn it off (at least within what's provided without using something like devtools.)

I'm using my bank's app on a fully de-googlised Lineageos (no MicroG) and Wero works.

But with another bank, when I had to install the Wero app, it didn't work at all.

This comment looks like a company's PR :/

300 million users, not bad though.

Everytime I change my nickname in the XMPP room that is bridged to Matrix, the counter increases by one. Never used Matrix.
