The major function of a normal SIM is the ability to take it out of one device and put it into another one, effectively disconnecting my identity towards the network provider, from the handset. With eSIM, that doesn't exist, and if my phone breaks, it's unclear what happens.

To me, that's not secure, that's unsafe and insecure.

That is entirely irrelevant to the discussion here. The person I am responding to is arguing that we somehow could transform into a society where nobody has to work. Not one where everybody who works today still works, but with fairer and better distribution of the produced output.

Which means they either need to be worked, i.e. labor is needed; or there is scarcity of food and goods. Neither option results in a post-scarcity society.

Do you know what the means of production are? Labor. Not magic!

I wish "social media drama" would be somewhere else than "technology". There is nothing in this story related to technology, it's about business, people, and politics.

Fine. If it helps you manage your issues, you can call it a platform. That doesn't change the fact that there is absolutely no need to use an app to access it, and then moan about how bad that app is.

Grow the fuck up. You know very well what I mean. The end user interface is a website, and does not require a special app to be accessed.

Use a browser ffs. I genuinely don't understand why people are so obsessed with using a specific app for each website. If the reddit app is bad you can use Chrome. Or Safari, or Brave, or Samsung Browser, or Opera.

Reddit is a website.

I for one, spent time blocking what I wanted to, to curate my feed, and it took time.

If that is your general approach, why are you suddenly so eager to hand over that responsibility to the instance owner? Why are you pushing for that instances should curate the feeds of all their users, rather than the users themselves?

If you were to study version control in a comp sci degree, you would study the way it's implemented, not how to use it. The data models for how to store and access repositories of many files with many changes is interesting, and can have different aspects depending on if it is text content or binary. Is it optimal to store each file as an aggregate of its diffs, no matter how many. Should there be snapshot points, etc?

Those are the aspects of version control that belong in tertiary level computer science. Learning how to use "git add" and "git push" don't.
