This is going to be a total noob (and thus stupid) question, but is it possible to selfhost a vpn?

At some point in the future, everyone who is currently alive, will be dead and the earth will be populated with people who do not exist yet.

Since I was born when my parent were in their late 30’s. And my father was as well, so my paternal grandfather was born in the 1890’s. When I was a kid he told me stories of his childhood. I was only 9 when he died, and at the time his stories were just that; stories. Now (I’m in my 50’s) I wish I had asked him things about those times. He was born and grew up in a world (mostly) without electricity, and without cars, phones, etc.

He was someone from a totally different world, and I knew him.

Added later: He was born “only” 129 years ago, everyone alive then, is now dead.

You know… I don’t understand why AI would need access to an API. Can’t they just crawl the web? HTML5 was designed with AI in mind iirc. But I’m no expert so I’ll probably talk bs here.

‘the best’ is subjective. Yes, tumblr still exists and perhaps has a second life. But the spirit of the old tumblr is gone. Same applies to Reddit. It’s not the name or the site that died but its personality. Twitter is a good example. It died a few years ago, slowly. It is still around but what made twitter twitter is no more. It changed, it has another atmosphere and other types of users. It is still called twitter but that is like a son who has the same name as his father. Two different persons.

Hmm. So how about: “Tired of ads? Reddit wants to show them to you. Come to Lemmy, we are friendly and you are welcome!” I am willing to commit 100 euro if anyone can make that happen.

I’m in. Anyone got a catchy idea?

It’s up in the air how many will stay and how many will slowly forget their outrage at Reddit and go back.

If I wasn’t already that truth would make me depressed.

Here’s hoping. (yeah, I’m an unreasonable, hateful bitch. I despise what they did with the Apollo dev (and others) and I hope it bites them in the arse.)

I’m not up-to-date with the latest in accessibility, but does lemmy cater for those who need assistive tech? (just curious)
