Billionaires working hard to make the world a better place… By removing themselves from it.

Aaaaand… It’s gone…

Big question is, where does he go from there ? Asking for the Interpol a friend.

Back in Kyiv, Zelensky could be heard quoting Napoleon Bonaparte: “Never interrupt you enemy when he is making a mistake”.

It’s not about standards. It’s about how “Meta” is going to use the data they’ll collect to manipulate and advertise to you in insidious ways. They don’t want to cooperate with the Fediverse, they want to control it. Those are the issues and the source of negativity.

On Kbin, hover the mouse over the “more” menu under the post/replies and click on “copy URL to fediverse”, that will send you to the original instance.

You can even read en reply to Kbin or Lemmy thread from Mastodon. I tested it myself and it’s awesome.

What they failed to mention too was that some communities (IIRC, it was r/mildlyinteresting) approved NSFW content that was only risqué pictures of vegetables, like fruits shaped like genitalia.

This article is just a rewording of u/Spez propaganda. It wouldn’t surprise me if Ziff-Davis, owners of PCMag, are investors on Reddit. Condé Nast certainly is, which explain why yesterdays article on Ars-Technica shares the same propagandistic tones.

It worries me that all those communities moving to Discord will one day suffer though all this all over again, once Discord enshittifies and drives them out. Relying on a closed, proprietary and centralized service for user-generated content is a bad idea, as we all learned already.

It stopped receiving posts or comments from other instances like lemmy.world. Their reasoning is that they want a highly moderated “safe” instance, but since moderation tools are still very primitive, they decided to defederate, it was easier than trying to moderate posts from the big instances. They said they will re-federate once mod tools improve.

That’s what killed Digg, more than the interface change.

Yes. I tested it, you can follow SubLemmies from Mastodon and even reply to threads and comments from there. I haven’t tested the opposite, but it should be possible.

What baffles me is, how can someone who leads a media company be so out of touch with reality and current events ?

Fellon Muskolini is defaulting on rent, created a literal toxic environment by cutting janitorial and cleaning services, stifled Google Cloud and AWS - two services he needs to keep the site working, destroyed the value of the company, made fun of a disabled Icelandic national hero, and this is just skimming the surface. Now /u/Spez come in public to say he admires all that incompetence ?

There’s being oblivious and then there’s… whatever alternate-world insanity that goes inside his peanut brain.

I was pretty fed up with Reddit and the many site issues and instabilities they were having in the last couple years, not to mention the level of discussions that had deteriorated significantly in the same time-frame. I had already stopped visiting, even deleted bookmarks to Reddit, all in favour of hanging out on Mastodon.

I’m glad I did, because Mastodon opened my eyes to the sheer beauty of the Fediverse. Heck, I’ve been mucking around the Internet since nineteen-ninety-seven, and this federated stuff really brings back a little bit of that magic network of yore, full of weirdness and exploration, with actual discourse. The only thing missing are the “under construction” GIFs.

This is why I love my Espresso machine so much. It’s a modern one, but:

• It has a physical, mechanical switch that makes a satisfying “CLACK” when I turn it on
• Selection of single/double shot espresso/capuccino/latte is done by a rotary knob
• Separate (non-capacitive) buttons for continuous pour of coffee/steamed milk

Sure it has a micro, but it’s function is to monitor temperature and allows preparation of beverages only when it’s at the appropriate temperature.

Oh, and it doesn’t use wasteful capsules. It uses a regular socketed filter holder that takes regular ground coffee.

If it ever breaks, I’m pretty sure it’ll be easy to fix with the junk I have at home. Clearly a machine designed by people who loves coffee and respects their customers.

They’re trying for an unified interface for desktop, Steam Deck and phone clients. While I agree that toggles are less optimal for a mouse driven interface, they’re much better for touch screens or gamepads.

Naah. This is (in his POV) excelent. He can just fire an e-mail at 3:00AM saying: “Everyone from Boulder will have to check in to the SF office by tomorrow. If you fail to do so, I’ll assume you abandoned work and is no longer employed at Twitter”.

What a POS…
