Our hardware has its own problems.

We rely way too much on x86 and ia64 architecture, both of which have only two big manufacturers in the world. That’s not good because it’s almost monopolies.

It would be better to have simpler chipsets that can be produced by more manufacturers worldwide, and especially ones that can be produced by smaller regional manufacturers.

On top of that we shouldn’t distribute compiled binaries for the x86 and ia64 chipsets; instead program code should be distributed like .wasm, in a hardware-independent way, and compiled on the target device. That would enable that hardware can use any chipset it wants and there are no software incompatibilities because of it.

i think a big reason why that doesn’t exist is because most people are continuously exhausted from work, so they don’t have energy to bring to the bar anyways.

We would first have to have an end to full-time employment (i.e. end of economic growth combined with implementing UBI) before we could have free time and energy to dedicate to bars again, i guess.

i mean hiding votes for yourself sounds like a client-side thing. if you want to block it for everyone, lemmy already can do that, however you need to configure the server/community appropriately. so, you’d have to make your own server and configure that to not show votes. i think lemmy.blahaj.zone already disables downvotes.

Lemmy is not really focused on DMs anyways. DMs are mostly used to exchange matrix chat accounts or other means of communication. So, encryption wouldn’t make that much difference, really.

Like lemmy but we should focus on quality, not quantity. (which we already partly do)
