Honestly coding a replacement wouldn’t be difficult, there’re already a few alternatives out there, it’s the thousands of plugins you’d need to replace.
One of the issues with alternatives like ghost is not having a good plugin system.
I’d go further and say fiat currency in general.
You forgot: can be mass produced using unskilled labour
Been seeing this pattern for a long time. The ability to turn off public reviews is so obviously exploitable.
I’ve met more than a few businesses that will give a discount for cash.
Assassin of joy.
The limiting factor with zoom is often stability. There’s no way to hold a phone steady enough for a long zoom, and I don’t think any phone has proper optical image stabilisation.

For a long time mirrorless cameras had terrible battery life and no phase detect autofocus.
A DSLR doesn’t need to keep a screen powered all the time you’re looking through it. Improvements in the battery life of MILCs has made that non-issue for most people though.
Damn, I didn’t notice, it was the first half decent looking source I found to post.
There seems to be an advantage of having a camera that can be always pointing in the direction you’re looking, I know several metal detecting YouTube channels use them.
A bot scraping the fediverse would be indistinguishable from any other kind of federation, only the purpose differs.
There’s already Chinese knockoffs on aliexpress for around that. Most seem to run the proprietary HeyCyan firmware.
Going to be honest, I’m autistic and my first response was going to be “have you been tested for autism?”. Black and white thinking is a common trait in it.
I’ve said it before, but if these things weren’t hooked up to a corporate cloud they would be great for sousveillance of the police and other authorities.
There’re some out there from other manufacturers that have open source firmware, unfortunately they aren’t cheap.
They really should give them better names
A completely unenforceable idea driven by moral panic. We’re already seeing plenty of cheap ones on temu, and other more covert types of cameras have been available for years. (Look up pen cameras on Amazon, you’ll look at anyone with a pen in their shirt pocket very differently for the rest of your life)
Not to mention there’s already open source 3d printed smart glasses. Which means this would no doubt lead to calls for ID checks to buy a 3d printer.
Tetris is famously litigious, but it’s hard to see how this wouldn’t be a protected parody.
Oh I’m aware. In a way the plugin ecosystem is also one of the biggest issues with wordpress, it’s full of freemium garbage that violates the spirit and in many cases the letter of the GPL.
But the point is that if you want a complete replacement for wordpress, it isn’t just a blogging system you have to replicate. You also have to in some way replicate a forum, form builders, activitypub, an e-commerce system, calendar, booking system, SEO, page caching, ERP, CRM, etc.
