When discussing Fediverse, you sometimes hear the idea that you shouldn't need different accounts for different platforms.
The "why can't I comment under Youtube video with my Twitter account".
In Fediverse it already works to some extent. You can comment under PeerTube video with your Mastodon account, and you can participate in Lemmy thread with your Mastodon account.
What is this functionality called? Does it have specific name?
It's probably not "single sign-on" and not "federation" from what I understand.
And to what extent is it implemented? Is there some way to participate in Lemmy thread with your PeerTube account?
Is there any progress being made on implementing the initial idea of using any Fediverse account with any other Fediverse platform?
What is the name for the problem of implementing or mapping the platform-specific functionality? As in, neither Mastodon nor PeerTube have the interface for upvoting and downvoting posts.
Wouldn't it be easiest to implement Fediverse-wide SSO (as in, log into Lemmy interface with your Mastodon account) instead of figuring out some funky mapping and patform interactions?

 

Online dating could probably be implemented with federated technolgies.

Are there any projects that are already working on this?
There are some open source dating apps, but they are mostly Tinder clones. It would probably make more sense to reimplement something like old OkCupid, where it's mechanics and systems worked more for the benefit of the userbase.

moving from one place to another? Yes, I am capable of that. Transporting some object while moving? I am also capable of that. Yet my car can move faster than me and carry more than me. Therefore it has superhuman transportation capability.

    They are both in some way related to The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
    OpenMW is an open source game engine that can be used to play Morrowind. (There is an unfinished "Example Suite", a CC0 licensed game data that can be used instead of Morrowind game data, so technically OpenMW does not play just Morrowind. Feel free to come help finish the Example Suite)
    Skywind is remake / reimagining of Morrowind game in a modified Skyrim engine.

    It will have unlocked bootloader and quite standard SoC, so you will be able to install PostmarketOS or any other mobile Linux on it.
    But in that case you might as well buy FairPhone 5 right now and do the same to it.

    Impressive. Always nice to see more interoperability.

    Also, I fail to see how second link has anything to do with Bluesky federation.
    Oh, I see, that specific reply is from Bridgyfed.

    Yes, this is something that should be taken into account when designing this software.
    Set dual-boot as a default / design UI in a way that offers dual-boot as a preferred option.
    And many other technical issues will probably appear that will have to be figured out.
    But I think that at least even thinking about this is a good start.
    Also, this reminds me of 2013, when people accidentally nuked their Windows installs with Linux because they wanted to get the Tux in Team Fortress 2 (Valve gave it to people who played Linux version of TF2).

    and this year Android also surpasses Ubuntu for personal use (29% vs. 28%).

    lol why bother with same OS category when you can just compare across whichever fields you want
