We all know that Google (with Chrome-ium) has at least close to 90% of the browser marketshare on the internet.
Which is your primary browser on your computer?
Remember that Brave, Opera and Edge are Chromium derivatives. I consider Safari to be separate since it's Webkit and not Blink.

No matter which social network you're on, following a diverse group of people helps you taking a peek at the other side of your personal filter bubble.
You don't have to agree with everything and everyone, but please, at least try to listen to people and their opinions.
It will help you appreciate your own life, and may just make you a little wiser.
Any open source alternative to Synology DSM?
@thegibson @tek interesting! That gave me hard time while I was setting up Matrix Synapse, but that’s a fun project to try, I’d be more than happy if I can squeeze my Mastodon instance on a Pi locally
@tek @thegibson you’ll be hosting your instance locally, and you’ll have to access it using the instance’s domain name and that’s when things get tricky with the local network configurations.

@tek @thegibson Would a Pi be powerful enough to handle an instance? 🤔
Also, the dns loopback is a nightmare to me!
@apLundell @Gargron what I meant by easier way to monetize was something like plugins that make it easy for followers to pay or somehow compensate the author.
I understand that Twitter didn’t do that, yet Mastodon is catching up with a huge community with a huge head start 🤷♂️

EU turns from American public clouds to Nextcloud private clouds https://www.zdnet.com/article/eu-turns-from-american-public-clouds-to-nextcloud-private-clouds/
@Gargron that’s bold, yet I believe 2 problems have to get solved before that becomes feasible.
1- Discoverability, it’s hard to find/follow interesting account on Mastodon
2- Easier way for monetization
@jussi glad they didn’t follow Chrome’s approach of limiting APIs for ad blocking extensions!
@popekingjoe I’ve been using 1Password to manage my family’s passwords, but since I’m trying to move to self-hosted services Bitwarden makes more sense! Thanks for the suggestion!
