"'For too long, Apple has operated a walled garden around its products': The EU forces Apple to open its closed system to third parties"
Now #uutil is going to replace #coreutils ? Not trusting that one bit.
The core utilities of any given #operatingsystem, as well as the kernel, display protocol, etc, etc, etc should NEVER be up to #liberal #licensing like #MIT or #BSD.
For total power to the user, the fundamental technological stack should be #copyleft, because we should have #legal expectations towards vendors.
This is also from the system that brought you #snaps. #canonical wants a #walledgarden and it shows.
#DigitalSovereignity: "The real power move for #creators is #ownership and control of their work and livelihoods. This freedom is actually closer for more people than ever before! Learn from two #fediverse futurists [@molly0xfff & @mike] how #decentralizedsocialmedia facilitates #betterpublishing, #community, and #businessmodels.
Speakers will cover where creators should focus their energies, and how they might thrive with or without #walledgarden social platforms."

Who knew that the groundbreaking, earth-shattering Digital Markets Act wasn't a magic wand? 
#Apple must be too busy polishing their walled garden to notice. So keep dreaming, hobbyists and EU dwellers, because sideloading on iOS is still as fictional as unicorns and truly open ecosystems.

Saw #DL4819 news break on FB, with stunning photos, but I couldn't share here because #walledgarden.
Now I see that #Reddit will be erecting a #paywall this year, which will vastly diminish the usefulness of many subreddits.
Alle, die #whatsapp verlassen und zu #Signal wechseln tun was gutes. Manche wechseln zu #threema. Manche zu beiden.
Fehler No. 1 schon gefunden? Signal ist wie Whatsapp in blau:
- man ist unter sich (#walledgarden, #Silo )
Außerdem:
- braucht man ein Smartphone und Zugang zu einer Telefonnummer, auf die ein Account registriert wird (eingeschränkte #Teilhabe),
- ist es ein zentraler Dienst
- der irgendwo(tm), _vermutlich_ hier mit überwiegend Atom, Kohle und Öl (?) betrieben wird: https://www.netify.ai/resources/applications/signal.
- also bei #Amazon #aws, #google und #microsoft.
- Aber: #bigtechmussweg und ich bevorzuge es, meinen Dienstleister aufgrund verschiedener Krieterien selbst wählen zu können. UND dabei alle meine Kontakte erreichen zu können, OHNE zig Apps installieren und Verträge schließen zu müssen.
Das sind ein paar Gründe, warum ich auf [matrix] setze.

Soll man jetzt auf den linkedIn-Link klicken ?
Oder habt ihr die jew. Info ggf. Auch auf eurer Website ?
@netizenparty Welcome. I think today we're expected to live in an Internet culture, but the level of education about how the Internet works is virtually nonexistent for non-technical audiences.
Imagine a city of netizens who can't read street signs, and who allow themselves to be (mis)directed by any colorful display or printed map that floats by. The people who are maintaining this city have arrived at the idea that they installed the street signs (of course) for their own use; instructing netizens to check them is frowned upon. If you require the security of verifying who/which address you're actually traveling to, you're given the advice to "avoid all web links and use apps from the app store instead".
Consider this... Some banks now require a verified app to access their services. That means you cannot use a PC or a libre mobile OS to access them. In other cases, users assume this must be the situation because they cannot imagine non-app access to a bank anymore, despite their bank offering web access (sometimes I check this). IMO, this is a major threat to the viability of the Internet. As cultures go, it appears to be one that has passed its heyday and is now in steep decline. The richest and arguably most powerful man in the world claims that in the near future his single app 'X' will be the preferred way to access all types of online services.
Hey #fediverse ! Please help support peeps leaving #facebook and other #walledgarden shitholes! I just stumbled across #flohmarkt , a fediverse facebook marketplace clone: one instance https://fedi.markets/
Please spread the word! #switchday
Der richtige Artikel zur richtigen Zeit. Spätestens jetzt sollten wir unsere Abhängigkeiten von Bigtech überprüfen und ändern. Es gibt mittlerweile genug Alternativen zu den Schnüffelapps von Meta oder Google. Die u.a. auch dank @kuketzblog richtig gut dokumentiert und beschrieben sind.

Freiheitsliebende Menschen koordinieren sich auf #Facebook, #Instagram, #Tiktok, #mastodon, #lemmy, #bluesky, etc.
Doch gibt es keine Überschneidungen zwischen den #walledgarden plattformen untereinander und zum #fediverse (abgesehen vom verhassten #threads.)
Kann jewesen mal Wissen über einfache Möglichkeiten teilen die nicht manuelles crossposten beinhalten und nicht sofort im #ban von #antisocialmedia enden? Für #matrix, #whatsapp, #signal, #discord kann ich das machen.

"The free and open community garden, that the big walled gardens block links to."
A prescient post from 2012 from @shanselman via @cory
“You are not blogging enough. You are pouring your words into increasingly closed and often walled gardens. You are giving control - and sometimes ownership - of your content to social media companies that will SURELY fail.”
#appleusers don't even understand what a #walledgarden is and why they are trapped in it. On the opposite they feel attacked by criticizing #Apple devices for not being able to use the hardware with anything else but #macOS. Comparison like "cardrivers don't want to buy motorcycles and vice versa" are brought up, which led me to believe, #macbooks are not seen as a laptop device but something else instead.
I am deeply fascinated why some people think Bluesky is a "Walled garden" while Mastodon is supposedly not?
Is a social network not a walled garden if it's non-profit?
Isn't the point of all sites online that they are indeed walled gardens? No matter if it's Imgur, Discord, Reddit, the Order Of The Stick webforum or Mastodon?
Mi chiedo: ma stare in questi posti ci sta nascondendo la vera realtà dei fatti? Forse il mondo vero è su facebook X ecc? Guardando le elezioni recenti sembra che la maggioranza della popolazione sia mentalmente instabile come di fatto lo è l'utenza nei social tradizionali. Forse siamo anche noi in un #walledgarden l'unica differenza è che nel nostro teniamo fuori noi la gente, nei social tradizionale si occupa l'algoritmo di tenere i diversi distanti...
