Hi GridPP Storage.
Saw this and thought of you.
There's an LWN article at https://lwn.net/Articles/762601/
on https://datatransferproject.dev/
You have to be a subscriber to see the article (and I'm not). The text
so far is:
"Social networks are typically walled gardens; users of a service can
interact with other users and their content, but cannot see or interact
with data stored in competing services. Beyond that, though, these
walled gardens have generally made it difficult or impossible to decide
to switch to a competitor—all of the user's data is locked into a
particular site. Over time, that has been changing to some extent, but a
new project has the potential to make it straightforward to switch to a
new service without losing everything. The Data Transfer Project (DTP)
is a collaborative project between several internet heavyweights that
wants to "create an open-source, service-to-service data portability
platform"."
Are you guys aware of this?
