It’s totally a problem: If I take a look at my Mastodon account from Pixelfed, there are a lot of screenshots shown and some other random images. Which totally does make sense as I do post stuff like that on Mastodon and screenshots totally make sense there. But if you take them to the center of the stage into a photocentric app, that really does look like shit

I kind of like the idea of a system allowing me to automatically remove clickbait and sensationalism from headlines and replace it with a good summary. But I really hate how Google is pushing that without customization, without consent and in such a crappy state.

That behaviour really, really is shady - contacting random people from not involved departments via LinkedIn is really awful.

I haven’t used an Amiga in several decades and memory is kind of murky. So how does the Amiga approaches drives?

Yeah - there is no way that you are able to raise children or even go to the dentist checkup with such a work schedule. And if such a schedule was implemented, that would be the collapse of everything else. Cinemas, theatres, bars, events, sport clubs and so on.

There are people who need money to pay their rent or buy food. He isn’t saying that he is not trying to leave, but there are good reasons to stick to a bad job while searching for a better one.

I mean, I can see that it is kind of hard to program your own accessibility tools esp. when you’re disabled. But in this case it literally is “Pay money to be spied upon by a ruthless company in bed with the Trump administration” vs. “use this free software that is not spying on you”

(and accessibility on linux is not that bad)

I really do not like such comments. Do free alternatives always have to be better than everything else? Even if people would find out that Facebook was always watching them via their cameras and were selling their nude pictures to the Hezbollah, someone will jump into the comments and say that they can’t use Mastodon, because some bogus reason. Yeah, accessibility could be better, but have you even taken a look at whatever nightmare UIs Microsoft has been pushing for years?

When we are in the middle of a tech bubble and one of the richest and most connected men on earth decides to cash out, then that is not “stonks crap”, but relevant tech news. Some companies stock price rising by 2% is not news, but this? Yes.

Let’s be honest: This is military technology camouflaging itself as civilian tech. It totally doesn’t make any sense for the proposed uses, but it totally is worthwhile for military purposes. Jihadist sneaking up onto your base in Bagdadh in the night? Light up the sky! Russian drone attack when it’s dark? Light up the sky! That border to north korea? Eternal sunshine! Your B2 and B52 bombers are on the way? Confuse your enemy by switching the sun on and off! Protect your convois by always have them drive in the night!

I disagree with you - great post about an interesting tool.

It’s totally infuriating how that goes. Every few years some serial killer is exposed working in hospitals or care homes. Sobody really cares. This news about a serial killer killing 10 is not even headline news. Others have killed over 80 people and nobody really cares, nobody is trying to improve the situation so that people like them can’t kill. But if some migrant harms someone with a knife, everybody totally freaks out.

The wiki principe of multiple people editing articles and articles integrating multiple viewpoints based on good sources totally fails if there is no common ground left for people to agree. You can’t write an article if some editors are accusing the subject of the article of commiting genocide while others think that they are waging a justified war of defense. Or if some people think that Donald Trump is the saviour of the United States that will make it great again and other people have more sensible views on him.
