.... wow. amazing.

next time you post something as cool as this, write some body for the post. I saw it earlier when you posted but it had no body or other indication of what it is. I'm just hesitant to click on links but this is well worth it!

I used this yesterday, without realizing it is unable to use the comment I am replying to as context and I looked real stupid in front of all my new Lemmy friends 😭 lmao

to preface what might sound like slander, I really would love to get my hands on apple hardware. It is engineered rather well and the geek in me can appreciate that. However, getting access to your own hardware is an issue.

While I have some concerns about their objective features, to my shame, the greatest problem is with the brand and their practices.

I think the root cause of all my issues stems from their morals and aggressive/elitist business practice - specifically their quest to squeeze money out of users and hide behind the lie of "we are doing this for the user's benefit".

I have no issue paying money for features I want or entities I'd like to support. In fact, I'm more inclined to financially support those who I believe in.

And apple loves to gatekeep features and keep them exclusive to apple. They effectively benefit from hard work of others who contribute to open standards and services, but at the same time do not share their own. Greedy.

to my shame, this is the first time I heard of the Solid project. I've glanced at the page and plan on researching more, but in your opinion what is its practical goal and current impact?

the idea of service and instance federation is blowing my smooth brain. I wonder if Tim is in awe or to him this would've been the next logical progression

man this is cool as fuck. I may be too stupid to appreciate this and even use it, but I'm going down the rabbit hole of looking at data links now

very good point

You'd have to make some API calls after you apply for a token. I am trying to replicate the graph for myself as we speak. Didn't know Cloudflare had this gold mine:

Cloudflare Radar has an API that gives access to Cloudflare’s data on global Internet traffic..

Radar’s API is free, allowing academics, data sleuths and other web enthusiasts to investigate Internet usage across the globe.
