The problem is Mastodon’s shittiness will be spread across the Fediverse regardless of what other forks you make.
Making a good point for Bluesky’s rejection of sharing AP federation, incidentally.
The strength of life to face oneself has been made manifest. The persona Carighan has appeared.

Basically, save a Fediverse account in your browser
Already too complicated unless it comes pre-installed on your phone as part of the setup process when you buy it.
And you will notice that in the vast majority of the world, the joke about the ball game happens/happened. America is very american football centric. Germany is all about football. England has cricket. Etc, etc.
You jest, but yes, since our lives are complicated enough as is, we want our hobbies to be as straightforward and easy to communicate/communalize as possible.
It’s a strict and strongly opinionated language by design.
So it’s a nice language.
And wow is it bad.
The thing can’t even do basic things the Assistant did, and it replaces it if you let it. No smart control at all.
Sigh. Best look into Home Assistant, finally.
It is actualy legally considered stealing. There might be countries where their service centre TOS are allowed to overwrite common law, but that would be outliers. In virtually all countries it’s just theft.
A youtube with an utterly idiotic grin on the front slide doesn’t make it any less illegal.
Of course, in some jurisdictions their repair contract might hold water in a court. In most it won’t, for example over here in Germany plenty of our law automatically invalidates lots of stuff a company might put in their EULAs or TOS. They are allowed to write it in there, but even if you explicitly click accept, it’s invalid and has no legal bearing, as if it were simply not in there.
But I had something similar happen before actually, where the item was “lost” basically. Net result was getting a replacement and a free upgrade for personal use (that is, I got the same phone back which was my work phone, and the better model explicitly to use personally as an apology).
But that’s the thing, they know it’s cheaper to give 1 in 50000 people a free item and/or money in return for saving 1.2% on their personel cost and training cost for service centres. That’s why they do this. They institutionalized the incompetence resulting from their lack of training and staffing.
Googles approach to smart stuff is so weird and backwards.
Google Now was truly impressive. It genuinely saved time, and it’s smartness could easily wow people.
Assistant is already a massive step backwards from that, but compared to both Siri and in particular Alexa at least understands you better and can control most smart home stuff.
And now Gemini shows that the only use case Google seems to be aware of is people doing searches via voice input. As if that is what people used Now/Assistant for…
Yeah but in this case that’s where this should have started. 😅
Had to think of this xkcd of course. 😅
It’s just a rebrand, but I’ve used Thunderbird for so long and gotten so used to the icon aesthetics, it’s awesome to see it come together finally.
If you’re the Consort, that’s an important part of your endgame scoring! (Stationfall board game 😛)

This is just shutting down an already outdated API. Devs should be moving off of it, and now it has a year out set for full removal instead of just being deprecated.
I still don’t quite get why some people are defending manufacturers which remove the headphone jack on their phones…
Not defending, just utterly couldn’t care either way. 🤷

Damn, that’s… a whole lot.
I mean a lot through, but fuck, I would have guessed one order of magnitude lower if you would have made me guess a number. That’s a lot of stuff to block. No wonder they don’t do human-based reviews, that’d be ~6250 reviews per day, so even if you had 1000 people do nothing but that and assuming normal working schedules, each reviewer would have to review an app every 40 minutes.
Going to be called YouTube Podcasts. Soon to be spun off into Google Wallet + Podcasts, then to be renamed Podcasts Pay, then Pay Podcasts, then Google Chrome with Podcasts.
Good thing I never started using it! Fuck you Google, Reader, Inbox and Music taught me never to get into your shit again.
Do you mean the lighter parts from the top side?
