  • ActivityWatch tracks time under Linux across all your applications and windows. So you know where you spent your most time on. It can categorize them as well for you. And there are plugin for eg. for Firefox to also track time on sites, etc. So you get a much better understanding about how you spent your time (maybe too much youtube? Or are you too much recompiling the kernel all day?).






  • What you all mention here are valid issues and concerts. The point is that everything you mentioned is related on how the ActivityPub protocol works, which inherently create this situation of semi-decentralizing in form of instances and federation. If we want to get rid of that, we need a fully different protocol that resolves all your issues in a decentralized way, which isn’t always scaling, or leaking the technical advances to do so. Or you could even argue that ActivityPub is currently de facto standard (which also includes Mastodon, etc).

    The only way to solve all the issues mentioned is to fully replace ActvityPub by another protocol. Which doesn’t relay on instances, and no DNS, and no global identity… Which are technically very challenging subjects on its own. Fediverse is well… federated, but not decentralized.

    Disclaimer: I’m the developer of Mbin project. And previous contributor of kbin.


  • impression the devs and admins were really interested in a poor man’s Reddit

    No, not at all. It’s just that sh*t things happens and instances goes down. Remember that kbin (and now Mbin) is development by software engineers doing their job in the free time. And instance owners also. Most don’t get paid for all this work, and if they do… we are talking about 5 dollar per month.

    At the same time devs also have families, full time job and other things. While I heard from the Lemmy dev is able to full time work on Lemmy now.
