@tk It happened outside of them! 😩

@tk IDK, I've felt uncomfortable on fedi lately. Mainly from toxic people thinking they're better than everyone else. Ironically, Bluesky has given me the comfier vibe.

If it dies I'm probably going to stick to Rate Your Music. It launched before 9/11 and is still going strong.

Just finished Hazbin Hotel. It’s such an edgy, cheesy Disney musical. And I mean that positively, especially since I’m not a musical guy at all.

Yeah it’s got some flaws, the cheese got a little bit much in places and I wish there was more time to know what goes on in this bit of Hell (basically I wished there were more episodes!) but overall I really liked it and I kept watching. I don’t think there was a single character I was annoyed by at all. Vivzie is really good at character design and the characters’ stories were really fleshed out here. Even though I’m Team Vox I can’t hate Alastor either.

Definitely worth the watch and I’m glad A24 and Amazon picked it up, now I can’t wait for Season 2.

Apparently if you break Recall on Windows 11, it sends you to the Windows 8/10 file explorer with the Ribbon.

...That's more an upgrade than anything lmao.

@tk oral_sex, waddling_head, flora_fauna, apple

I bet this guy gives great head.

@MediaActivist @Vivaldi Yup! It's got a ways to go, still, but nonetheless I'm glad it's around and independent from Mozilla now, especially with how Mozilla's been acting lately.

@MediaActivist @Vivaldi I've heard something but I'm not sure either. I think the issue is maintaining the Chromium codebase for something like that.

Firefox funnily enough has a similar problem, which is why Firefox gets forked directly and people aren't just embedding Gecko into the browser.

This was probably why Mozilla started Servo, but we know what happened there...

@Vivaldi I've been using Zen since there are extensions I use that don't want to go for MV3 (LibRedirect if you're wondering). Vivaldi is still my backup tho.

Genuinely, though, thank you for what you do and sticking with your principles where Mozilla hasn't. :blobfoxheart:

Yo you Linux lot, I know you're here: I've got a media server I want to move off of Arch (or EndeavourOS, rather) and onto something more "stable" and reliable, per se.

I'm eyeing up Debian, anything else I should look at? I'm looking at something I can easily set up a firewall with and do remote desktop on easily (I need GUI so... yeah) and EndeavourOS does the firewall part really well and latest GNOME can do remote desktop really easily with a toggle on their Settings app, so I'm not 100% on Debian yet.

FWIW: What desktop environment I use is not overly a huge concern.

As long as I can:

• get remote desktop + login
• have a firewall set up with sane defaults

I'm good to go.

Mozilla Social shutting down and people not being able to move their posts across instances is exactly why Bluesky and AT were made with account portability in mind.

Just sayin'.

#Bluesky #Fediverse #MozillaSocial

the GPL is good but I can't shake off the fact it was made by a man who ate his own foot smegma

I got this amazing artwork by Enk (who drew my avatar) of one of my all-time favourite characters for my birthday. Here's to the #WanderOverYonder fans on the fediverse. 😁

@kurrikage @sig yeah same story here. that's actually a reason one of my friends won't join, and he's not even techy at all but he caught onto that before i even mentioned it to him.

and the worst part is, i can't really blame him.

@volpeon the big issue (outside of UX ofc) is data portability. People have sentimental value to their post history, and it's not out of the question they want to keep that even if they have to move instances.

Bluesky seems to be nailing this as part of their plans, and fedi would be better trying to bring account portability in, even if it means a drastic change to ActivityPub.

I keep writing "Windows 11" as "Windows 100". What is wrong with me.

update: i got a headache after watching borderlands. gonna blame it on that

@tk I'm from the UK and can't stand the taste of the tap water here. I need to stop being lazy and get a water filter.

@BeAware It might not just be a fedi thing, but it’s prevalent enough on the fediverse that Alec felt it was worse for his mental health than Bluesky. I’ve had to leave Lemmy for similar reasons so can certainly relate. I think Mastodon is looking at improving things so hopefully the technical aspect will be sorted out, but the cultural aspect… IDK.

Good insight into what Mastodon (and IMO the wider Fediverse) is getting wrong vs. Bluesky, technically and culturally.
