  • The benefit is that you could have a distributed marketplace. Instead of having monopolies like steam where one company accumulates a bunch of power they can abuse you could have multiple small companies band together to support a common standard of ownership so you could buy from any company and all the companies supporting the standard would respect it. You could also tie it to a legal contract so it’s actually enforceable.

    Of course you could just do that with an centralized standard that’s backed by multiple companies too.






  • Exactly. I don’t get why people are freaking out so much when it’s easy to create a new account and clients support multiple accounts anyways. Big instances are a big target so they need to protect themselves. On Reddit the piracy subs are neutered because they can’t link to anything. What’s good about the fediverse is you can have sub verses within it. It’s dumb to have your piracy account linked to your main account anyways.




  • I don’t think I’ve ever had a driver issue in Linux where something straight up didn’t work, except for printers (but I’ve had printer issues with Windows and osx too, so that’s more a printer than an OS problem). I have had to find different drivers when I want some very specific feature though. Really most of my issues with Linux are just because I’m trying to do something complicated in the first place. If I had simple usage I don’t think I’d have any problems at all, vs Windows where sometimes it just randomly fucks itself up.
