Literally one of the safest sources of energy production in existence.

Another aspect of the problem is that people making the decision of what programs to use don’t actually have to use them.
Software just has to be good enough that people put up with it. Once you get users on the system, you make it difficult to move your data out which acts as a lock in mechanism. The company that can make a minimally usable product that people are willing to put up with will typically beat one making a really good product that takes longer to get to market.
What metadata is collected by third parties is completely tangential to the topic of the submission. However, as I’ve repeatedly tried to explain to you, there is no practical difference between running on bare metal which nobody does nowadays, or running a VPS. At this point it’s quite clear that you’re just trolling, so I’m going to stop here. Bye.
They’re not almost the same thing at all, and your whole position is weird given that the context is social media which is fundamentally content people want to publish publicly.
This has nothing to do with the original topic of discussion or Hollo in particular. You’re now arguing about pros and cons of using a VPS service. I also have no idea why you keep making statements like “not having everything encrypted on a server you don’t own is a massive flaw”. You absolutely can have everything encrypted running a VPS. You don’t understand the subject you’re discussing.
I don’t know what to tell you, but this is how modern internet works. Also, nobody is forcing you to get a server in a jurisdiction where US has access to. Meanwhile, any traffic is encrypted via HTTPS, so the provider can’t actually log it. It sounds like you have a very superficial understanding of the subject you’re debating here.
It’s really up to you how you set up your server and the datastore. This has nothing to do with Hollo. Again, there’s no difference between this and running a Mastodon server that will also need infrastructure like a db to back it.
pretty much nobody runs servers on bare metal nowadays
Yes, it’s a virtual server that you can get from a provider like Digital Ocean. It’s not running on your machine locally, it’s the same thing that the admins of Mastodon instances have to do to run Mastodon servers.
No, it means you run your own VPS to host your personal blog.
This is about making your own personal instance of a microblog that’s ActivityPub enabled. It’s much lighter than running Mastodon that’s mean to be a hosting platform for a lot of users.
The reality is that every source will have some sort of a view point which constitutes a bias. I think people should be careful with all sources, and it’s actually good to look at viewpoints from across the spectrum. You don’t have to agree with them or trust them, but it’s often useful to understand their perspective even if for the purpose of framing a counterpoint. If you know a source like quillette has a particular bias, then you just keep it in mind when you read it.
The sources I dismiss are the ones that can’t provide primary sources for the claims they make or are known to be factually wrong. These are the kinds of sources that constitute a waste of time and should be avoided.
Yeah also true, you’re generally not gonna start doing anything if you know you’re getting interrupted anyways.
it’s not actively developed, but it does work
We obviously will have to address the problem of capitalism sooner than later.
