It is satire, but it isn't the onion

It's JSX. It's used to embed markup into javascript

Even if the Soviets had given up on the space race, they still had a vested interest in embarrassing America. They had every motivation to prove that America faked it, but they didn't do it, because they had all the evidence that it was real. They could track the space craft and listen in on the same signals everyone else did.

All documentation against the moon landing has been thoroughly debunked many times. But you don't care about that.

You don't have to trust the Americans, there is plenty of independent third party evidence from multiple sources

I don't understand what you are saying. They had a moon landing program.

Also, do you really think that if the Soviets had the opportunity to embarrass the Americans by proving the landing was fake, they wouldn't take it? Of course they would. Instead they were able to track the Apollo mission all the way and knew it was real.

No they didn't. They had their own moon program and announced their intentions to land in 1961 before the Americans announced in 1962

I played it on Steam Deck. It was great. Act 3 was a bit slow, but I didn't mind.

I am thinking of getting it on console so I can experience it with better resolution

This article is so misleading. XMPP died for the same reason all technology dies. No one used it. Even if Google hadn't ever used it, it would still be dead. I know this because Google Talk and ALL Google chat apps are dead. WhatsApp killed them all.

I'm not saying it's different. I'm saying that the current plan in no achieves the goal of keeping the fediverse open and out of the control of large corporations.

If you want to know how to prevent them from taking control, you better start working out the specifics of how they will do that. Otherwise your actions may end up helping them.

No one seems to have considered the possibility that Facebook are well aware of what people think of them. That they looked at the technology and thought "we don't have to do anything, those idiots hate us so much they will do the job for us and give us the private marketplace we desire"

How? Everyone says some form of this, but never gives any details of how they will do that. Or how defederation will prevent that.

You are afraid that they will control the marketplace, and then turn around telling everyone to defederate, which just gives them a walled garden marketplace on a silver platter.

Ah, so just fear mongering and hoping that the fear based knee-jerk reaction isn't actually playing directly into their hands.

What point was that? If you don't join Threads, they don't have your data. They do have everything you publish to the Fediverse though, no matter what you do.

They can already harvest the data. Nothing on the ActivityPub is private
