I disagree with the article you linked. It seems the author believes the purpose of decentralization was to give instance admins "power". I've always said that the Fediverse was just a thousand little Twitters, but some people don't mind that at all. If you just want to run a little community where you can protect yourself from outsiders I guess it's nice.
The way I see it decentralization is about preventing a gatekeeper not making more of them. If you never got your account (and all the content and followers you created with it) taken away by a power tripping moderator you may not understand. You can't deplatform someone from Bluesky, or Nostr, and that is a feature.
Just run your own router and block all the outgoing connections you don't want. I love my EufyCams, they work great and store video on premises. All I have to do is block the connections it makes to send video previews in push notifications.
I need a sign for my security cameras that says something to the effect of "recordings are kept on premises and not made available to anyone outside this house" so my neighbors don't think I'm a narc.
corporations are just a new and improved form of feudalism.
Do you use a VPN on the Android box or does your router handle that?
Not necessarily a "piracy" app, but SmartTube is the first app I sideload on an Android TV. It's a generally better YouTube app, but it's ad/sponsorship/intro skipping is 💯!
That's not how AI works
Stop talking about what Donald Trump is talking about! You're amplifying him, and energizing his fascists. You're normalizing this shit!
