yes and no… i agree with the sentiment, but with root you can extract wifi credentials and various other secrets… you shouldn’t be able to get these things even when you have physical access to the device… the root access itself isn’t the problem

plus one of the main issues with desalination plants for fresh water is… getting rid of the sodium

but that’s a compromise… it’s not categorically better

you can’t run a bank like you run distributed instances, for example

services have different uptime requirements… this is perhaps the first time i’ve ever heard of signal having downtime, and the second time ever that i can remember there’s been a global AWS incident like this

and not only that, but lemmy and every service you listed aren’t even close to the scale of their centralised counterparts. we just aren’t there with the knowledge for how to build these services to simply say that centralised services are always worse, less reliable, etc. twitter is the usual example of this. it seems really easy, and arguably you can build a microblogging service in about 30min, but to scale it to the size that it handles is incredibly difficult and involves a lot of computer science (not just software engineering)

that’s pretty disingenuous though… individual lemmy instances go down or have issues regularly… they’re different, but not necessarily worse in the case of stability… robustness of the system as a whole there’s perhaps an argument in favour of distributed, but the system as a whole isn’t a particularly helpful argument when you’re trying to access your specific account

centralised services are just inherently more stable for the same type of workload because they tend to be less complex, less networking interconnectedness to cause issues, and you can focus a lot more energy building out automation and recovery than spending energy repeatedly building the same things… that energy is distributed, but again it’s still human effort: centralised systems are likely to be more stable because they’ve had significantly more work put into stability, detection, and recovery

no matter where you host, outages are going to happen… AWS really doesn’t have many… it’s just that it’s so big that everyone notices - it causes internet-wide issues

i think they need to use smaller words for themself because that is not the correct way to use that one

BRICS is in many ways a relationship of convenience… there are too many competing interests to truly make a whole currency the global reserve

doesn’t look like voyager, but you can do it in voyager

basically the way it works in australia… the budget is considered a test of confidence

if the government can’t pass a budget, the PM has 2 choices: resign or call an election

if they refuse to do either of these things, the governor general can step in and dismiss them, in which case an intermediary government is appointed and elections are called ASAP

if you can’t perform the most basic function of governing, you sure as shit can’t do anything new and deal with issues as they arise

yeah it better be just some more brown people! this is american tax dollars after all

the mozilla foundation is largely responsible for the whole adtech and ai slop nonsense that nobody asked for

the mozilla corporation is responsible for firefox. there is no way to support firefox development
