or in other words, BT devices broadcast their names only in pairing mode, so you know only the names of devices you are paired with.

all other devices continue to be there, but normally not shown, because you don't know them.

Until you pair, there's no reason for showing them

they map in Bluetooth as vibrators then

depending on your technical aptitude, you could wipe iOS and install linux, I'm sure there are projects allowing that.

then it can become a simple graphic terminal for smart home

home assistant is full similar pet project, with old kindles and tablet to control the server

large part of Europe also.

also yearly before tax, because employers do not need to know about other incomes and thereof how much money you pay in taxes. you can tell, but they don't need to know.

when they hire you, they don't know about your taxes, anyway. they put the ad, and if you're hired and have other incomes, you'll pay more taxes out of it.

yearly because taxes are paid yearly.

some people are paid weekly, some monthly.

so yearly becomes the comparison to help taxes and compare across the market which might pay at different frequency.

it helps account for your budget and their budget.

if you don't care about budgeting or calculate taxes, you make the math.

Also, why can't videos use torrent technology to serve the data by other viewers?

from what i read, they do.

i think the problem is the kind of distributed systems it was designed to be vs the kind we are talking about.

PT won't be, at the current state of propagation of content, redundancy and accessibility of content, a replacement for YT or similar.

it could be, but today it cannot.

there is another post mentioning how if certain Lemmy instances keep growing they'll need economic support.

it smells PT, the way it's organised today, needs support right now.

there are various ways to optimise data propagation and replication for scalability of content.

I think the discussion needs to be open towards this question

i overall agree.

one point i struggle agreeing / see what you mean is small instances mean small communities.

I'm on lemmy.ml, but i use lemmy as federated, i don't see the lemmy.ml community when on lemmy, but the fediverse.

in a way I don't care on what instance i am.

i come from a distributed systems background and to ne this is normal.

is that anti fediverse?

I think it was irony, bro.

as everything this has contexts in which is valuable and contests in which it's not

don't quit because you're demoralised. don't quit because you're tired. don't quit because it's hard.

if your first natural response to adversities is flying instead of fighting, it's telling you to fight, because you are likely the only person losing when flying.

it's not about never change your mind. never critically think what's the situation and if it's still worth it.

or check up with yourself and see if that's still what you want.

after all leaving a situation you don't want anymore, it's not quitting, it's moving on

it seems just semantics, it's about knowing yourself and being honest with yourself.

nothing is black or white

Here there might be a confusion between danger, and statistics.

all those examples are about events or things that are far more frequent than be near a shark

if the average person could be close to a shark as many time in life than leaving a bed, be close to something that can flip, or to people taking selfies, statistics might be very different

are there other people doing it?

would be cool to see what you do and the various techniques!

this to me is good though.

ActivityPub takes care of it.

this means that the fediverse is gdpr friendly.

easier situation.

out of curiosity, is it resistant to temporary partitions?

I think to this might be a reductive view.

the fediverse uses activypub.

ActivityPub is. a W3C raccomandation and this organisation cares about privacy.

it's likely that the protocol will, if it already doesn't, take care of it.

even if it's up to single imstamcesy is true, there are two further questions here (beyond how much it's enforceable)

should fediverse help admin in the task?

should fediverse help users to protect their privacy?

and to me the answer to both is yes.
