A fitting name for a beautiful outcome.
I wish them bountiful data transfers without Telco trashiness.
Hey pot? I got kettle on the line here, it’s for you
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…

I’ve done it; results are…flaky at best, YMMV
I can’t tell if it’s just my cable or my Pixels being… Pixels, but transferring from one to the other had frequent dropouts, elevated temps, high drainage, and sometimes disabled USB transfer until you plugged and unplugged again.
Might not be an issue on flagships or other OEMs but idk
If it helps you feel better kbin.social doesn’t seem to apply those suspicious votes
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).
That’s genius honestly. The void should win this year
They would need jet turbine-loud hearing aids with how tone deaf they are
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.
A revocation of intellectual property will most likely require similar forces to the revocation of private capital — societally huge shifts in income distribution, production, infrastructure, and scale. I think those changes are worth making, but doing so would be very, very hard.
I am amenable to making current law much more reasonable, such as requiring a maintenance to keep IP relevant, cutting IP protection down to lifetime of author (not the company), making government funded IP freely or cheaply available to the public, putting abandonware into the commons after 10 years, fully legalizing emulators, etc.
I am no longer apathetic but livid
Fuck u/spez.
That’s a bold strategy Cotton, let’s see how it works out for them.
Are we really going for a revival of 00s skeuomorphism? 💀
Cool software.
Even as someone sympathetic to ‘privateers’ though…you gotta have more plausible deniability bro, workshop that name lmao
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.
Congratulations, you’ve sufficiently annoyed me enough to log in to my local instances to type this out.
There is no ”one” way to speak and write English — we don’t have an “”“official”“” institute of our language like Spanish or French does (and even if we did, they would not have a monopoly on English). We don’t speak in Received Pronunciation or keep the superfluous ‘u’ next to every ‘o.’
Like every language, English has multiple dialects with their own vocabulary, and even some with their own specific grammar. The sentence in the OP was likely written in one of them - African-American Vernacular English. This dialect codifies double negatives, the habitual be, and words like ‘finna.’ Many of its aspects are already integrated into ‘standard’ American English.
This is part of the process of language in general. Many of the rules in ‘proper form’ come from shorthand, slang, and and crude versions of other languages and forms. Being aware of the rules shifting and changing as people shift and change how they speak will probably get you further than turning your nose up at rules you don’t recognize.
