I mean, I know about 2 instances at the moment, but after all those years, that's better than nothing!

Seeing people host Retrospring is bringing me joy :neocat_floof:

@puniko :neocat_woozy:

@puniko Did some rewriting (and stealing a lot from the Mastodon docs), is this better? 👀

@puniko i'll work on it :neocat_cry:

@puniko sure, I'll try to be of assistance once you pinpointed what the issues are! :neocat__w_:

@puniko me andy? 👀

the fedi meme timeline:

* meme gets posted on Twitter, stolen from another platform
* meme gets posted on fedi, without alt text
* someone on fedi reposts that meme with alt text

I find it super interesting to see a return of Trump to Twitter and instantly cozying up to Musk and making it look like they are best buddies.

When in the past, Trump made statements against Musk and even stated that once he becomes president again he would do his best to get EVs banned (or something along the line), which would pretty much hamper Musks businesses.

Of course it's the political shift and having to re-strategize because of Harris' appearance.

Seeing the first Retrospring instances pop up that are not ours is pretty cool!

Google is killing Chromecast!

> After 11 years and over 100 million devices sold, we're ending production of Chromecast, which will now only be available while supplies last.

@lain just a 7 hour drive between Copenhagen and Seethen.

Was at the doctors today to check out why my stomach has been aching for 2 days, including doing an ultrasound

"hmm, can't find anything out of order, so it might be bad or might not be. If it gets significantly worse then go to the emergency room"

reassuring... :cirnoForReals:

@puniko schon wieder? :neocat_woozy:

#CrowdStrike learning the hard lesson to never deploy on a Friday.

@puniko auch hier die gute, alte Arbyte.

@puniko yo puni! :neocat_floof__w_: wie geht's?

good morning, fedi!

Mozilla really needs to invest in Firefox, and one part of that is their PR.

No, not the PR strategy they tried to pull in the last years, just Firefox.

Purely touting about "privacy" isn't it.

Also, in regards to announcements etc. like the ad-personalisation stuff that was announced two years ago with no one noticing because no one reads the Mozilla blog (what for, even)

Chrome wins, because bad Google PR doesn't harm its browser share anymore.

Chrome is basically on its own foot and "Google bad" only moves over a few people to other browsers. Also, Google doing shit is a commonplace thing by now, it probably is not even noticable in news for most anymore.

However, when "Mozilla does a bad" then it directly impacts Firefox, because that's their big thing, even though Mozilla has other ventures.
