There are some credible rumors that Durov had financial issues during the pandemic and went back to Russia to strike some sort of deal with the regime there, which would also explain why since then there have been no further attempts to block Telegram in Russia.

Ich glaube sowieso das das ein Capybara und kein Hund ist.

I see no reason why they would be worse, other that the initial purchase price.

I think you need to be more careful with your use of "scaling up". You mean vertical scaling, while ActivityPub is good in horizontal scaling.

Indeed, with ActivityPub you will probably never have a single point that has a global view of the network, which (at least for now) is the way ATProto presents the network. Arguably that is not a desirable feature anyways, but lets just say that people have different opinions on that.

Well, that sound like a problem that is at least manageable since fungi have relatively short generation cycles unlike trees.

Yes.

Naja, die 10 Euro Preise gibt es aber auch nur an Stellen wo die Immobilienbesitzer käftig alle Ladenbetreiber abschröpfen.

This is what you get if you use silly generic terms as names for your chat protocol 🙄

Light-shafts or relatively inefficient building layouts are necessary once a building hits a certain size, so this would probably not have a big impact on overall living space. Of course such a building would be more expensive to build, but it might be possible to offset if the vertical farm's profits would benefit the same housing coop.

I think it could be interesting to integrate these into newly build apartment buildings. They could function as a sort of light shaft in the interior and should also be quite efficient to block noise between apartments. Heating would be also mostly "free" in such a setup.

Deckard will probably be a split unit: a lightweight headset with a small stationary unit for wireless streaming. That stationary unit will also work as a normal steam machine connected to a TV and will be on sale seperatly. (This is all speculation)

Quake 1.

The game is kinda meh, but the modability spawned an endless amount of awesome stuff to this day. Even Half-life is basically just a Quake mod.

No idea. Why not use XMPP? It's better anyways 😜

There have been so many attempts of that over the years...

You are overseeing the idle power-consumption. A 7600 basically idles at 5W or so (and turns off all fans). Now think about how many hours you surf the web etc. with your PC Vs. actual gaming and you can see that this makes a big difference.

Depends... its a very capable 1080p card with extremely good power efficiency.

There is the overclocked "xt" version that is generally considerd bad value as it loses the power efficiency aspect and costs significantly more for only little extra performance.

Dunno, realisticly speaking it is a slightly cheaper 7600, hardly a market shake-up.

No, that divide isn't political. Its about utilitarianism.

The side you are opposed to cares more about getting many people "good enough" privacy, than getting the best possible privacy for a few while alienating most other people.

Ist warscheinlich die am wenigsten schlechte Option. Die CDU kann einige ihrere derzeitigen populistischen Forderungen wieder einpacken, die Grünen können ein bisschen realo-öko machen und sind danach hoffentlich als Partei am ende, und die SPD kann in der Opposition mal ihre ganzen Personalaltlasten in die Rente schicken.

I ran it some years ago, and over all it wasn't bad.

The UI is a bit old fashioned and some of the built in plugins seem pretty useless, but the webdav/carddav/caldav integration is nice.

Nomadic identity also works fine, but if you are selfhosting it there will be probably not much use for it.
