It probably IS standard notes, given that Proton acquired them.

Not for 99% of the population…

Well, sounds great for any non mobile storage then. Don’t think anybody cares whether their 10kWh solar battery is twice the size and weight if it’s half the price.

Thank you :)

What other benefits do they have? Do they have less wear or are cheaper per Wh to produce?

Or at least, about to be when production ramps up further?

Are you really bringing up resource limitation when your point is energy sources that depend on finite fuel?

Besides, the current form of renewables is the best option we have right now, so we should put all efforts into that. Once we find something better, absolutely go for that.

Correct, but don’t forget that renewables is an umbrella term.

If you use solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal and bioenenergy, you’re diversified and it’s all renewable. Add in storage and there’s not much of an issue anymore.

My point is that you can’t compare a platform like reddit to a protocol like email.

While gmail and outlook are insanely big, how much of all email traffic do they handle? Sure, they are insanely big, but I doubt they are above 50%

On the other hand, how big is reddit compared to all other link aggregators? I think it’s pretty surely far above 50%.

Or how big is YouTube as a VOD platform?

I’m not advocating for discuit, but being like “they think federation can’t build a mainstream platform, but look at email” is kind of missing the point.

Also email is the only example for federation. It’s an outlier, mainly because it was one of the first things on the net. Everything else is platforms, unfortunately.

Also still in the blog everything is words and very opaque like " We do this not only through technology and advocacy (Proton has contributed over $500,000 toward defending these values around the world)" : like where, what, when?

Should they always go into a downward spiral and explain everything they did? Check out the Proton Christmas fundraisers, that’s what they are talking about

There was no legal possibility to resist or fight this particular request." : I doubt very much unless Switzerland is a dictatorship in disguise.

No legal system in the world allows you to fight everything all the time. Get to reality.

Switzerland generally will not assist prosecutions from countries without fair justice systems." : clearly not.

Wasn’t that case in France? Don’t remember exactly. Not sure if you’re calling France to have unfair justice systems, but then you should probably look for a new planet, because nothing is 100% fair unfortunately.

You can still distinguish between very bad, kind of bad, okayish, and mostly good.

Yeah, they are talking about platforms, not protocols.

Lemmy.world is the platform. Or mastodon.social. Or Gmail. Or Outlook.

Email is not a platform, though.

Just because it’s still in my clipboard from another post:

Long story short, they got ordered to do so by a court, which is legally binding and they won’t go to jail for you.

The connector was gold plated. Not a golden wire.

I was buying a toslink cable recently and I shit you not, there was a gold plated optical cable…

Very true. Well, probably not a bad thing to assume people are actually that dumb

Have you been on the internet? Source: personal experience.

Dude, you’re on a link aggregator right now, you can’t honestly think that you’re fact checking every post you read.

Imagine using dailymail as a reason for why news are factual.

The post is about true wireless earbuds The comment is about how lemmy makes it about jacks and wired earphones for no reason The counter point is that wired earphones last decades I said that the market for them is already satisfied, while those are the first fair true wireless ones, which is great

Now how is it irrelevant? I seriously don’t understand what the problem is, and I also don’t know what kind of strawman I apparently made

The whole thread is about earbuds?! Where do jacks on phones come in all of a sudden?

On true wireless earbuds? How?

So you basically said there’s no need for fair wired headphones because cheap 20€ chinese wired ones perfectly serve that market?

Even better that fairphone builds true wireless earbuds with all those fair features, because there is no alternative there already.
