@goatsarah@natty okay, I think you are referring to this, micro-usb 3.0, right? But apparently there actually is a mini-usb 3.0 connector, which looks the same as the regular old mini USB, but squeezes 10 contacts in there 🤯
@paninid@CStamp@histodons No we are not. Societies might be on a bad direction in some regards, especially in terms of growing digital surveillance, but claiming that our current reality would be in any way close to those dystopian books is bogus. This is feeding into the alt-right narratives that we see being floated by groups like the "Querdenker" in Germany and is in general not helpful.
Back from another weekend in the Alps. This time in the Lechtal area, staying on Hanauer and Muttekopf Hut. The weather was better than expected, lots of interesting paths, two short via ferrata, excellent food and fun people. #hiking#mountains#alps
@jwildeboer the issue is, it's not 2010 anymore, people aren't used to have this level of alternative clients for a service and at least the playstore is very strongly promoting "the one" app over alternative clients. So you end up with an obvious choice with non obvious alternatives, combined with the fact, that, at least on Android the official app obviously isn't the best app out there.
@jwildeboer if we want to be serious about this federation thing, having those dominating defaults is automatically bad for the balance of the ecosystem
@jwildeboer that's not what I want to make of it and I am not as passionate about this as it might seem, but I think making the choices obvious to people instead of hiding them, would be good for the feediverse in the long run
