@BeAware Perhaps they've been trapped in too many wall gardens to know what to do in an open platform?

@BeAware @gtronix The have little reason to, that just encourages more users to go ad free on the fediverse at large and still follow whomever on threads.

@joeo10 My guess is next time they wont be able to stand it and will try something completely new while dropping backwards compatibility.

@BeAware @davidho.bsky.social I think this is more of trying to keep BlueSky's AT protocol free of billionaire tyranny. However, yes the Fediverse is free and thriving. The weird thing for me is if BlueSky is concerned about that, why did they use a more "proprietary" AT protocol instead of just running on ActivityPub?

@BeAware @timbowmanmedia wait they are doing ads on ad-free??? that's some BS.

@joeo10 My assumption is that Honda quality of cars and parts will be diminished. Nissan isn't in their league in quality, longevity and brand IMO (which will vary person to person).

@joeo10 Well to be fair I think most websites ignore that anyway. That said though IMO Mozilla became totally irrelevant when they became an ad company. From that point on, the user is not the priority for development

@BeAware jerks, reported

@BeAware Ok silly question here as I've been swamped and not able to keep up with all the news last few days....what happened with BlueSky?

@BeAware You can't make everyone happy, and some folks are just cantankerous jerks. Don't let it get to you.

@BeAware My experience is way more successful than Twitter. 🤷🏻♂️

@BeAware Seems baited, they had what, a year???? And acted like it was perfectly fine, no infringements. What they wanted to let them make a lot of money to sue for?

@BeAware I'm waiting for 18.1 beta 4 that probably has the final 18.0 tweaks in it 🤦♂️ 😂

@BeAware You are welcome, from past experience, use a broswer with extensions off and be ready to go with payment information already verified and be logged in before time. If someone manages to get the actual page ahead, load it so you can try to just refresh without running thru the whole website.

@BeAware Yep, cost 2-4 times that (depending on brand and how much of a powerhouse it is) to do an equivalent or better. I believe someone did a video to match series x and the ps5 and it was 1200-1400 or more (it's been a while). But you could easily drop 2-3k to get a really nice play everything near max for years one.

@BeAware @joeo10 For you it might be well worth it if you got 100-200 extra. If you are new to it why not? Though the slim might get a holiday deal in a couple of months and will run the same games. They do have a lot of fun exclusives.

@BeAware @joeo10 That said a 700ish pc likely would play most of the stuff out or coming out, but many would be at lower resolution or lower fps. The actual joke is the PS5 has barely hit it's limit if it actually has and had about a 2 year lag time getting go due to shortages. It's ridiculous to drop a pro right now when we had a couple of games that also weren't dropped for PS4 as well? Unless one had been waiting there is next to no reason to buy it.

@BeAware So now I'm hearing game of thrones music with random people and fediverse app logos for heads🫣😳🤷🏻♂️😂

@BeAware Hope all goes well and a quick recovery.
