Just somebody that you used to know.

If this turns out to be EU-only, then it’ll be useful for niche apps and ones that aren’t normally allowed (like emulators, third party YouTube apps, and other cool shit), but it won’t be commercially useful for the titans of tech like Google and Meta. Not a bad start.

This Mike Johnson guy continues to have the same level of self-awareness as the same Mike Johnson from Morty’s quarter-assed made up story in the Story Train episode of Rick and Morty.

Blue dream. Always delicious!

Just in time for the EU to also force third party app stores through, and X attempting to make one sounds plausible even if they get nowhere with it.

I’m sick of this porn trope.

Oh no, Apple develops Apple-specific features to add value to their products! Someone alert the Department of Justice! My bubbles will NOT be discriminated against!

I was an early reddit user from before the time subreddits existed. Much of the user base, including myself, were asking for tag functionality, but the subreddit concept was introduced instead. I guess they needed a way to moderate tags, and that was their solution. Decades later, they told those same mods to go fuck themselves, so maybe they should have just used tags in the first place like they clearly expected subreddits to act.

I also choose this guy's wife.

Gotta cook it before wrapping it

Just wait until someone posts something containing the substring "69"!

As far as I can tell, following someone via Kbin is for either getting their microblog posts (Mastodon-style) or for more generally getting their activity federated to your instance (if it’s like the general ActivityPub concept).

Communities are sort of already hashtags when using the microblog post type. Seems like an interesting approach.

There are two legitimate concerns about Signal: they use real phone numbers as identifiers, and you have to trust Signal as the server operator as they don't allow their client to be used with other servers. While the server software is also open source, you have to trust that they're running the same version in production.

Based on how many people invested in GameStop, AMC, and Bed, Bath, And Beyond, there is clearly a large number of dumbass retail investors. Too bad that’s unlikely to be enough to make a good IPO.

No need to refresh. Duplicate replies are a fact of life on federated sites or threads that get a lot of activity.

And how deep your bites are.

Chew gum. Sounds similar.
