Excuse me, what kind of technology…?
Am I getting my hopes up for nothing? =(
The pen?! Damn, that’s impressive.
The one I might use is a an old Galaxy Note. I wonder if I’ll have similar luck.
Whoa, I don’t know why I’ve never considered Linux on a tablet. I have a couple that are gathering dust in a closet, and if this is doable, it sounds like a fun project!
I don’t think that Threads or BlueSky really took off. I think the majority of people who haven’t outright deleted the app are still on Twitter.
“Genghis Con” is a good one
There was a story recently about a depressing number of web domains disappearing. Everybody just gravitates to the big corporate sites now, and it makes the internet ecosystem boring and less diverse.
It’s the equivalent of Walmarts running every mom & pop store out of town.
$4.99/month. It’s essentially just a cup of coffee!
I think a bunch of others gained some footing in the market when Raspberry Pi had supply chain issues during/after COVID. When I last shopped for a Pi, I saw a ton of other options.
Every time a company goes public, they become more and more profitable until the only way to continue on that trajectory is to worsen their own product.
Think they’ll still be selling the Pico for $4 or the Zero for $15 after they’re reporting to shareholders?
I like using a mall as a really basic analogy for the shared social space:
There are multiple entrances to the mall through various shops, but once you’re inside, you can go visit wherever you want.
I had to deal with their T&S for my account being locked once. It was indeed a nightmare.
I consider myself pretty reserved and knew that I had never said or shared anything even remotely problematic, so I appealed, and they denied the request without even looking at it, then refused to respond to further questions (or even tell me what I supposedly did). It took me publicly complaining about the whole ordeal on social media for about a week for someone at discord to notice, look at my case, and finally realize a mistake had been made and unlock my account. They still never explained what happened.
I think it’s much less intimidating to new users now compared to when I joined last year. The barrier to entry has been reduced significantly.
There are tons of active communities now, mobile apps that work great (this is a big one), and many more tools to block content that you don’t want to see.
Discord support is the absolute worst. I hope to never have to deal with them again.
These are the subtle types of errors that are much more likely to cause problems than when it tells someone to put glue in their pizza.
Public opinion seems to be souring on all the big corporate social media sites, and I truly think if we’re able to get the word out about federated social media platforms, people will jump ship.
Also, it’s hard to dislike a platform that isn’t showing ads, selling user data, or generally making decisions for the enrichment of shareholders.
I’d believe it.
Let’s hear some good tinfoil hat theories!
I’ll start. Maybe one of the LLM/AI companies are trying to bypass newly implemented barrers to training data by using the archive, and it’s totally overwhelming their servers?
Is this higher quality than just screenshotting and dragging the box around it? Asking for a friend.
I just read the article and will definitely be watching the video when I can. What a wild story.
