Aber meinst Du nicht, dass davon auch viel gesoffen wird?

Bin nicht ganz im Thema Finanzausgleich drin, aber: heißt das dann auch Bayern will seinen fairen Anteil bei den Erneuerbaren beitragen und auch den Nord-Süd-Link als Hauptnutznießer finanzieren? Oder picken wir nur Rosinen?

Edit: Eine kleine Recherche zeigt, dass die drei Bundesländer seit 1995, spätestens seit 2000 die größten Nettozahler in der Solidargemeinschaft sind. Staatliche oder internationale Subventionen (für Landwirtschaft oder Wirtschaft) gleichen die Last nicht aus. Bayern hat bis in die 80er Jahre selber vom Finanzausgleich profitiert.

I was fine buying it, too. Now, I bet they will integrate it into their online services in order to have people hooked up.

I used Affinity on Mac and Windows. It was the affordable, well-thought-out, performant Photoshop competitor and is now free to use (with a Canva account). Some folks got it running with wine and there is an easy to use appimage ( see articlke )/

I got it running easily, but didn’t test it fully, yet.

Holy fu**. Wie kaputt kann man sein?

Someone just recently managed to get it going.

I’m also pro-FOSS and pro-don’t-your-dare-manipulating-my-social-media-for-commercial-or-political-reasons :-)

Catchy, I know.

Both issues are tightly coupled. There is no business model/value in a truly federated platform that doesn’t rely on algorithms. Try to sell ads to your customers, they will always prefer other platforms with proper targeting.

So why would a private company use a protocol and architecture, that cannot be monetized properly?

Bluesky is sort of federated while having a centralized content moderation. Saying it is federated is basically like saying a napkin can be used as trousers. It will cover some parts, but isn’t the real deal.

The substantial difference is that mastodon is really federated, and decentralized, thereby moderated at different instances and levels (by server federation and defederation as well as local moderation). Also, really important, there is no algorithm feeding you content a platform owner considers worth emphasizing.

You’re skipping the point were people tell you that it is a question of your settings and not a matter of the operating system.
