Does that really scale though? The load on a server is not dependent on the number of users, but on the number of communities from other server that the sum of user is subscribing to.

Which means if you have a server for 100 users, you still need to pay for the 1000s giant communities that those users are subscribing to, as they are being copied over in your server.

So if you have a few mega server like Lemmy.world, they each pay say 10000£ in hosting a month (number taken out of my hat), which is fine because they have as many users that can contribute to it financially ( via donations, ads etc.). But small servers won’t be able to support that load and will ultimately close.

That sounds like a design flaw if you ask me but i did not see anyone mentioning it so maybe i’m misunderstanding.

is there a !woosh for the replies to your comment?

I planned on exporting a web version as well and I was testing there first hence the issue.

How would this allow any website to impersonate you though? The login is made via a jwt which would not be accessible if you go in another website. If I login on mysuperlemmyclient.com and then visit maliciouswebsite.com, how can maliciouswebsite access the jwt that is stored likely in a cookie of mysuperlemmyclient.com?

/remind me 1 year

More seriously though, only time will tell

I’ll go against all the comment here and say yes. It looks like apple is delivering a fantastic piece of hardware, and some basic solid features software wise. But the price point also means the user base will be more likely to buy expensive applications, compared to say the Quest. Some predictions

• Next iPhone will come with dual camera that allow to take 3D scenery, that can only fully be appreciated in the headset.
• The developer ecosystem will be super active. We know that’s going to be a line of product for at least 10 years, and being the first on the market in your segment can be critical.
• The price point is of course really high, but a year or so after they’ll announce the Apple Vision (not pro). This will remove some of the decorative feature, such as the outward facing screen that shows your eyes etc. and reduce the price point to maybe 2K. Again, possibly more expensive that people would be ready to pay, but don’t under estimate monthly payment plan elongated over 3 years. In between FOMO, social proof and the actual usefulness it will find its user base.

And at some point, Samsung, Google, and possibly maybe chinese constructers etc. will come up with their android based alternative. Starting as cheaper / not as good, and slowly catching up and building new features. “Samsung vision, gaming oriented with tracked controllers included”, “Pixel Vision, that integrates with your full suit of google products and give you great quality for less price” etc.
