Mastodon is lead by a singular developer that uses Ruby for his app that hasnt gotten a new feature in 2+ years and they dont accept pull requests from community members that have been adding features to third party apps that new users never learn exist because they get stufk between learning what a “fediverse instance” is

Meanwhile Bluesky has features twitter or any other platform dont have yet (custom algorithms, chronological feed with a couple posts from your custom feeds in between some chronological posts, adding custom moderators)

The protocol that Bluesky used also has a lemmy/reddit alternative too https://frontpage.fyi/ (in beta)

Theverge and washingtompost are

This smug attitude is why the fediverse will stay niche. People get jobs from twitter and Bluesky showing their posts to people. Its why im on the platforms as an artist. But sure lets talk shit at everyone who doesnt want to post to the void on mastodon.

Also your feed is chronological by default on bluesky and you can stay chronological and enable some posts from your custom feeds to show in your chronological feed. Best of both worlds

It’s a problem in the open source community as a whole. People ask for it to be a little easier because they’re not super skilled with tech and then the reaction is “if your so dumb you cant use this then maybe you shouldnt use it” or something to that extent

We’re all brainwashed in the US though. We’re all in the USA cult here while our taxes bomb and starve millions of people. We still vote for blue even when they continue the embargo on Cuba and we bomb the poorest countries in the world.

Elon pushes right wing and nazi adjacent stuff in the algorithm. Anyone he replies to also gets boosts and he constantly replies “!” To right wing conspiracy theorists etc

The apps would be fine if it wasnt for the enshittification and gamification aspect of it. Pay to unlock swipes and boosts and all that nonsense it so dystopian. We need non profits to start running pro social apps that are actually healthy

Imma start subscribing to the RSS feeds of torrents made for specific channels before i watch ads.

If youtube wants to make their website so hostile its easier to get better versions of youtube videos without YouTube then those games will be played.

This is awesome. Steam continues to release great stuff

Considering the Nazi’s were inspired by the US in many ways and the US continued promoting their racist opinions on immigrants, doing coups, and installing far right dictators around the world im more surprised the resurgence isnt bigger.

look at the genocide being funded and armed by the US in Palestine. Israel is invading and preparing for war with like 4? Countries already? Arguing they can rape people they detain and the US threatens the International Criminal Court after they deemed Netanyahu is a war criminal.

The US leads the world culture in a big way, the US is promoting an authoritarian who admires Hitler and the opposition to him continues sending bombs to a war criminal and threatens people who want to stop him.

I agree but its not even an encrypted messenger. Almost no one uses the weak encryption and im pretty sure they offer decryption to governments considering they were threatened to be banned in russia and avoided it

Paywall, does it have any shady stuff slipped in like KOSA, SOPA, and the other “protect the children” laws usually have?

Shapiro tried joining the idf and compared the pro Palestinian protests to the KKK. Theyre not the same

Mastodon gains a twitter board member and Bluesky sheds one. Interesting

You can still export your watch list if you go to https://aniwave.to/user/list/export

Sad that this is the only streaming website with a watchTogether feature

Maybe this

Picture-in-Picture auto-open experiment enables PiP on active videos when switching tabs

Hell yeah

No screen sharing or even video calls iirc. Soo many people use Discord to watch stuff with their friends or to play games with their friends. Matrix is more of a irc replacement imo it doesnt have any gaming focused features and the Forums on discord are nice too

There arent ones that include hacks and fan translations. For example PSP games like monster hunter portable 2nd G with the FUComplete patch or Monster Hunter Portable 3rd G with the English Patch v5

Wow thats awesome, surprised they did it before Ireland

Edit: write to wow

How did you discover this? I wonder if private voting will make it too difficult to discover

Everyone in this thread worried because of how we handled the “last” pandemic… you should be more worried about how we’re handling the CURRENT pandemic you’ve been convinced is over because the rich people wanted you back in the office.

Covid is top 4 leading causes of death, makes you more susceptible to die from the top 3 causes, is disabling millions of people every year still, and destroys your immune system / Tcells similar to HIV. Aids wasnt discovered until around 10 years after people were first getting HIV

A single coder made photopea which is near feature parity of photoshop. I think the Proton team can figure out a docs suite

6 years of development and it’s still not on the App Store. The sole developer is also working on a whatsapp alternative, a tiktok alternative, and fediverse database api. Pixelfed wont ever compete with instagram like this, and the name doesnt help.

After facebook changed their TOS to allow them to train their ai on peoples pictures the instagram style app Cara became the 5th most popular app and gained 300,000 users in a week. Not a single person has heard of or moved to pixelfed during this.

We and the pixelfed developer should be helping Cara integrate activitypub and open source their app so the pixelfed developer can focus on one project instead of 4

Codeberg is relatively new, gitlab sucks, I’ve never heard of notabug. That’s why. People want their open source projects to be found and contributed to so using what the most popular makes sense. Although i do love codeberg and I’m glad it’s being worked on so well.

Soylent news?

Federation is enabled now. Its also a one year old project not 6+ years like mastodon so I think its fair to cut them some slack

This along with other things is another reason why i will continue to recommend noobs start with pop os and more advanced users to use bazzite.

I do wish pop os would change their name to cosmic os though. Their current name is too close to poop os 😅

The whole point of this bill is for mark zuckerberg’s lobbying money to finally get people to use Reels

You’re probably fine it’s extremely unlikely. Dont trust emails that say they recorded you wanking its a scam

Nice thanks seems straightforward

The amount of people happy about their government deciding to ban websites and apps is terrifying. They dont give a fuck about your privacy they’re just mad they dont control the algorithm. Now they can have people move to instagram reels where its easier to serve the propaganda the oligarchs prefer

Datahoarder@lemmy.ml? Or is there one on another instance?

Im surprised you didnt try pop os for the ubuntu test and bazzite for the fedora test. They come out of the box with nvidia and everything just works out of the box.

Do people setup RAIDs with sd cards? There should be a super mini box for a sd card RAID

He receives thousands of dollars in donations to make the software. I’d rathe people start supporting software developers made by non bigots

Its everything in one. Much simpler for the average person to use

This type of stuff is always held onto until someone has a book to sell. Its despicable.

Tail scale and sunshine/moonlight would work
