On the point of Android, I also noticed somewhat of a trend: some banking apps cannot run on LineageOS for instance, probably because it’s rooted or idk the true reasoning behind the company’s policy.

How to manage this situation?

    No idea, but I tried inviting some my friends which are not tech-aficionados — they couldn’t understand it.

    I’d love to see more money thrown on Ads for promoting the fediverse on YouTube, Twitch and all other platforms and get this shit more viral, but I don’t understand why it’s not happening.

    I think there are more reasons, but the most prominent ones are

    1. the fediverse is not that aggressively publicized
    2. if by any luck your average bob joins, he’ll be confused because a) the UI/UX is less appealing b) he doesn’t know where to go and what’s the difference between Mastodon, Pixelfed, Lemmy etc.

    it’s worrying because all that knowledge will be lost instead of living somewhere in a forum indexed by a search engine.

    But in the same time, I see more people fleeing from traditional search engines to AI … I don’t know where we’re heading at

    Hi 👋 just shared the site with one of my buddies and he told me he doesn’t care much about it because there’s no way you’ll be 100% privacy enforced since you’re using an iPhone and sharing your location, name, birthdate , personal files, photos.

    I’ve to say this gets to me but on the other side I’m also respectful of everyone‘s opinion because after all, this is what makes us special

    How are you handling these circumstances usually, do you say something?

     

    When we had our firstborn, she said, “How about we name him Mark, but with a C?”

    I smiled and nodded and then told her I’d take care of everything with the name registration and birth certificate. When my wife looked at the birth certificate a few days later, she was confused.

    “Honey”, she said. “Why does this say Cark?”
