Additionally, I can't really understand why are dynamically linked libraries so popular and how on earth anyone who ever had a ".dll / .so not found" error thinks this is a good idea.

1. You can load a DLL once and all programs can share it, saving memory. It also makes programs start faster since the DLL might be already loaded, so there's less to load from disk. That mattered more back in the 90s
2. You can update one file and have the patch apply to all programs

Again, who tf uses messenger?

The entire nation of Poland

Grindr has developers?

The whole app feels like it just spontaneously came to existence.

Poland.

He could've easily got it solved but he didn't have money and the public defender just told him confessing was the best option.

It might be a legend, it's just a thing that supposedly happened to someone in a community I participate in.

I heard of a guy who went to prison because he bought something from Allegro (Polish Amazon) over TOR. Someone used the same exit node for hacking, so they pinned it on him.

There's Firefox on iOS, but it's practically a wrapper around Safari. You get your bookmark synchronization, but everything under the hood runs on WebKit.

PS4 also sold 40M units by it's third year.

Meta already had federated with XMPP back in the day, then dropped it when it was convenient.

They are gonna do the same for the fediverse. All they want from us is the starter content so that their service isn't empty for the first two months. They literally don't want to do the work that reddit founders had to do - generate content and pretend there are users to a new blank platform. After that the federation features are going to become legacy.

Not cooperating with corpos is a matter of principles.

For voice, TeamSpeak

For text chat, IRC

For forums, phpBB or any other forum software

Discord replacing the third is the saddest. It completely isn't fit for purpose. Part of the reason you can't find anything on Google now is that forums died, and Discord is unsearchable.

Discord just switches it's business model yearly to clone the one thing it hasn't killed yet. Started out to kill TS and IRC, then went on to kill the forum, then it tried to kill Steam/GOG but failed, now it's trying to kill Patreon.

Well, PeerTube works like torrents - which are proven to scale well.

Which is sad, because it used to be a much more social platform. I used to run a small channel in 2007 and I'd get people messaging me, or adding me to friends (yes, that was a thing on YouTube).

Lemmy the software vs lemmy.ml the server.
