@glynmoody Oh wow that didn't take long

@thanius All is not lost, I'm sure you can replace it with Atari ST?

@iakonkret Doctorow uttryckte det så otroligt väl här:

"I will never again devote my energies to building up an audience on a platform whose management can sever my relationship to that audience at will"

(Sen kanske jag inte själv tänker på det som "building up an audience" men nog 17 gör det ont att ha tappat kontakten med så många människor bara för att jag lämnat Twitter och Facebook)

@thanius I save a shitload of money on automating heating and car charging :) When the kids were younger I had audible notifications in the mesh speaker system whenever doors to the outside weren't closed etc.

I'd say there's lots of utility - but outside of "the common stuff".

@rasmusfleischer Jo, men jag menade att det skulle vara just därför de istället tog PP-åsikter och klistrade på PB, för att få med "yttrandefrihet" och annat utan att för den skulle prata (för) mycket om PP.

Bara en reflektion - vi var många i PPs ledning/styrelse som identifierade oss som libertarianer.

@rasmusfleischer Det känns som om de ville skriva om Piratpartiet men inte kunde eftersom det är ett fortfarande aktivt politiskt parti och därför klistrades en del av tankarna där på Piratbyrån istället!?

idk

@glynmoody "Elfdalian" sounds so Tolkien compared to the actual Swedish name "älvdalska".

(And now I'll go look at the etymologi for the word "älv" - Swedish for "river" - and elfs)

@glynmoody It took me longer than I want to admit to realize this wasn't about (Kamala) Harris and Georgia (the state).

@mmasnick $15M Series A means Bluesky has convinced investors they can extract $150-200MUSD from a userbase of 3-4M MAU.

That's $50 per user. There's simply no way of doing that without going down the route of enshittification - and most certainly not without staying centralized.

Surely you know this.

@thanius

Volkswagen ID.7 is by far the best electric car on the market right now.

@euronews @europe-videos-euronews

@henry I don't understand. Do you mean you have 10 different Mastodon-profiles? Why?

I'm somewhat surprised you haven't "found" more of the Swedish contingency here since you seem to live in Stockholm. I'll boost after replying.

To your point: Algorithm driven engagement is a hella powerful drug. It will take a lot of time to get off it.

That's the explanation both for why people register and then leave Mastodon, and why you got more engagement on Reddit with your post.

@thanius Discoverability requires some form of "who's reachable where", but otherwise I think Nostr is the closest you can currently get.

@CWSmith

The EU are quite pro-FOSS so I do have my doubts about that generalization. Might @echo_pbreyer have any insight perhaps?

@BeAware @rolle

@thanius Startpage is just a Google frontend. It's like using a Chromium-browser - not helping the free web.

And yeah, Kagi's search results are simply amazing! Companies should become paying subscribers just to increase productivity :D

@thanius Are you a #Kagi user yet?

Kill the ad-sponsored web.

@thanius idk if serious post but ... it's a fake story through and through. The guy is an idiot but apparently not _that_ stupid,

@thanius Well I mean they fail pretty immediately at "my dear" :D :D :D

@thanius Well I mean in Sweden this is a no-brainer.

Then we have the US - who for some reason make "race" something of extreme importance - and not just derogatory but in the feeling of belonging to a group.

@erikdelareguera

Jag tror den här instansen redan är en bra bit på vägen dit. Jag använder den för specifika feeds (DN, Sydsvenskan .. ) men om man går till dess local så får man ju alla den har med.

(Vet inte vem som kör den)

@krm @thanius

@erikdelareguera

Jag misstänker att det var Linus Larssons grej och han fick inte igång sin närvaro på Mastodon så som han ville.

En enorm fördel, iaf för de journalister som uttryckligen använder sina konton yrkesmässigt, är att man får verifieringen av att ha sin användare på tidningens domän. Den glömmer man nog lätt eftersom det inte är så på andra sociala medier (men anses vara en självklarhet för email).
