This is an interesting theory, but I think it is wrong that it assumes that there is some sort of evenly distributed universal qbit substrate.

The vital question is IMHO how can this theory fit in time dilation (= gravity lensing? ), which is an obversable fact near gravity wells or at high speeds.

I find it more likely that it will turn out that even time is somehow a function of this extended concept of entropy. Like as if mass, movement (~heat) and time are three facets of the same entropic force that has an upper limit that we currently only know for movement, i.e. the speed of light.

So something moving at the speed of light must have no mass and time stands practically still for it (as the case for photons), and the more mass something has the more time slows down around it (which can be observed) and gravity is the result of entropic movement being restricted.

Under such a theory, the observable effect of mass, i.e. gravity, is basically atoms being restricted in movement and thus over time sticking together similar to particles moving around in a liquid by diffusion but some part of it is more viscous and that over time accumulates all the particles due to the sticky effect.

A star would be then a place where mass and heat/movement is high, but time is slow, and a back hole would be an extreme case that is almost entirely mass, with no movement or time possible (hence nothing can escape from it).

It’s not any worse than the differen’t feature support levels of different Matrix clients. But especially on Android, XMPP has nice modern clients with all the features you would expect, including a/v calls and reactions/stickers.

The main issue right now are up to date Windows desktop clients, but on Linux desktop there are some good options.

There is: XMPP 🤷

There is not much they can do about it short of shutting down the entire server. Due to how matrix functions internally any sufficiently large federated homeserver replicates most of the entire network.

It is a bit counter-intuitive but restricting new signups will not help them much. The way the matrix protocol is designed, i.e. replicating everything on every server, means that clients connecting to their server have only a minor impact. As long as most rooms of the entire matrix network are replicated on the matrix.org homeserver their costs will stay high and there isn’t really much they can do about that other than shutting it down entirely.

Deltachat works ok for 1:1 chats and small groups. It is totally unsuitable for large public channels as it doesn’t really have a concept of group chats and just pretends so by (in email parlance) adds every one in ‘CC’. This only works ok for small private groups.

IRC just needs to get it’s shit together and start adopting IRCv3 features on the larger servers. The problem is really only that networks like libera.chat run a feature set that is at least 15 years behind what IRC can actually do.

This article is nonsense. The Foundation was always a front for New Vector and their board is largely made up by New Vector employees. So of course they knew what was going on.

New Vector simply decided that the strategy to make Matrix appear as an open standard was against their business interests and thus left the foundation to fend for itself with obvious consequences.

Raddle.me and lobste.rs are non-federated alternatives.

In low earth orbit the radiation is less of an issue. The bigger issue is actually heat dissipation.

Good opsec includes not endangering other people that might have less good opsec. I am personally not at risk because I don’t live in Germany.

That wasn’t me, but in specific cases where multiple accounts are used for ban evasion or similar stuff that can be justified from a moderation perspective.

And if you do such a bad job that it is easy to guess your sockpuppet accounts then that is really a failure in opsec on your side 😅

“Forum” is not that clearly defined, Lemmy can also be called a forum as do many other websites. You are just trying to split hairs because you can’t admit that you spend the last couple of hours making a total ass out of yourself 🤷

This was a public website where multiple people had access to post stories and links 🙄 And they got raided because they linked to another (by then officially forbidden) leftist website that also was a kind of forum to share news stories very similar to Lemmy.

Sorry, but I am tired of you trying to twist words in my mouth, the evidence I provided is clear and you just don’t want to admit that this is a real risk in Germany.

What? It literally says that the private homes of the operators of a public website were raided by police and their communication devices confiscated. LITERALLY! Are you completely unable to read and understand basic texts?

You are just wrong. Try to educate yourself. The rebels in Rhodesia signed an official peace agreement with the old apartheit regime, and there was a formal transition of government. Something similar happened in South Africa with the ANC and there some of the previous rulers retained a political party and their successors are now part of a coalition government with the ANC.

I am not in any way endorsing those horrible apartheit regimes, but you are spouting so much factually incorrect non-sense that it is really pointless to discuss any further. I hope for you will never actually talk to someone from southern Africa about this because it would be incredibly embarrising to show so much ignorance.

You are competely dellusional. I simply pointed out that according to international law Zimbabwe is the legal succesor state to Rhodesia and that formally there was a transition of government.

I am absolutely on your side that Rhodesia was a racist shit apartheit state, but facts are facts…

The irony is so thick. Go back to your troll cave 🙄

You live in some lala land that has no resemblence to reality.

You evidently can’t read. It is much more nuanced than that.

No because you can apparently not read and thrn accuse others of lying.
