I want access to good art produced by good artists in any style. Not to reproduce anything.

It is complicated. I follow almost 500 accounts often producing 50 toots per hour. Nobody should spend that much time to catch up with all. My coping tools are:

• Making lists, including one for important accounts I don’t want to miss. Sadly I cant find a way to get notifications for those.

• Resisting FOMO. Remember, mastodon is people-centric, not topic-centric like Lemmy. I don’t try to use it as news source or catch all hashtags I care of. Just treat it as a space to casually look what people are talking about.

In general I think that backlash against algorithms went the wrong way. We poured the baby with the water. We should have resisted their harmful use, lack of transparency and user control, rather than the very idea. Controlling what content shows up first and setting your priorities is a good thing. Users should have this power, not corporations and not even admins.

Not “always”. In fact almost never where I live. And if they do, it is very likely we witness some glorious russian culture on display.

If by “seamless” you mean that wireless data speeds can soon match locally attached storage, there will still remain a political question of autonomy. We might some day have light terminals without storage or even serious processors with all the data and work still done in our cellars garages and and attics via 8G or whatever grade connection. If there will be enough demand for market and politics for devices to be available, of course. So yeah, I think, culture and politics hold the answer.

You might get surprised - I looked at default KDE, Gnome and docs for a couple WMs. Yet my question is not “how do I get different backgrounds”, but rather, “how come is this the usual thinking”? Why? Are there serious drawbacks technically or from UX perspective that I didnt think of?

average working age?

not sure about peertube audience size, but afaik it does have a serious subsystem of resource sharing.

If I understand it right… it will be much more costly to host videocentric platform than other types of content. A serious proposal for sharing the burden of hosting will likely be vital - through funding or decentralized storage/processing. Havent heard about that yet.

One other reason I imagine is to establish a single family name, especially with children in mind. I’m not sure it actually works better than a double damily name, but it probably seems so to some.

I think the biggest issue is that people dont like to look at the object through phone when it is much clearer here in reality. So looking for themselves and looking to show it to assistant naturally split into two separate processes. While looking “for yourself” the phone is randomly dangling in the hand, making the stream sea/sickening.

So I thought, VR headsets have a good see-through mode, which could also be streamed. It also could easily display a pointer from remote. Thus both processes would merge into one, and you could directly comment on what is on focus.

For computer problems we use remote desktop. But for dealing with the printer, tv, phones, car, or checking the router we need to have video chat.

Such term would be useful. Christianity does not seem to follow this leftwing liberal immigrant.
