Props for MacWorld’s editors for digging out the OG Blue Pixel for this device shot†

A fitting name for a beautiful outcome.

I wish them bountiful data transfers without Telco trashiness.

I’m…mixed on situations like these

Like yeah, it’s very annoying having to manually refresh for more content, but at the same time I do appreciate having more time to fully explore my timeline instead of coming back from a post to see they completely discarded my reading place, losing whatever is was looking at, likely forever.

Of course, for quieter networks you may run into the problem of content refreshing too little…

He should get that addiction to chewing wires sorted out

ActivityPub is more of a social network protocol rather than a messaging protocol. It assumes most data sent through it will get public by default and has very little encryption set up for it, let along E2EE. Now Matrix is a better use case for an open protocol like that and also offers bridges between other chat networks (I wouldn’t be surprised if Beeper has Matrix under the hood).

Yeah, the dust is still settling (in the middle of a rebrand/namespace migration). I like it as it feels like Mastodon++ and it last links with Lemmy/Kbin.

Choosing beggar pirate that’s also your mom? Oh brother, I do not envy you

Ahahaha, the first approach was hilarious I will give you that. But I’m proud to see your new branding — I really think this could build some traction. Hopefully you will be able to work on a Linux client in the future.

Best of luck!

That’s genius honestly. The void should win this year

Oh cool, another ASUS PC company spinoff, add it to the pile

Yeah the whole Samsung moon shots (possibly r/Android’s biggest moment as a subreddit) really kinda laid out, paired with the anxiety around AI, that our phone cameras…are not really capturing what we see anymore, or what was even there anymore. There’s levels to it of course, but it is unsettling that we’re going to be in this space of not even trusting any image for a long, long time.

I am no longer apathetic but livid

Fuck u/spez.

I wish there was a way to have responsible news sponsorship without having this annoying ass article limit system or web 3.0 crypto nonsense.

(I nearly flinched when writing that last sentence because I still have PTSD from Twitter summoning the Hordes if you so much as mention that c-word.)

Cool software.

Even as someone sympathetic to ‘privateers’ though…you gotta have more plausible deniability bro, workshop that name lmao

The funny thing is that I can’t be bothered to install adblockers for mobile YouTube, despite that being 99% of my phone and YouTube usage. Video platforms are expensive AF, and I get it.
But man, that ad experience just keeps degrading. It really wears on me some days, making me seriously consider Premium.

But now that they are going to block adblockers outright? And especially now that they’re paywalling the ability to queue videos in a dynamic playlist?? Something built into TV casting and the desktop app for free? Nah, Google can get fucked. It’s ReVanced time.

It really sucks that we’re facing the digital equivalent of climate change with regards to the internet and the content economy on top of the decline of the actual economy and actual climate change. It’s all so much.

I love to see indie games pop off. I hate to see Linux-hostile anti-cheats. C’est a la vie.

TIL reddit has RSS feeds. Welp, I’ll see if I can use it to plug in my favorites until they cut it for ‘profit-seeking measures’ and ‘loosing 200 billion dollars a year’

It’s probably a good idea to always have image host alternatives in place so that we don’t get a tinybb issue in 5 years…or less
