That's stretching the definition of the word quite a bit further than I'd be comfortable stretching it.

The Web is a totally reasonable alternative.

Wow, I wasn't aware the serial enshittifier Bending Spoons had acquired Vimeo. Thanks for heads up!

Has that TikTok takeover actually happened? I haven't seen anything solid on that.
@anildash

Related, over the last couple of weeks I've had to special case a couple of DNS holed third party domains to return an error instead of never respond - because news sites would never get to first render without. Whatever happened to async background loads..
@steter

In addition to uBlock Origin, every browser should have an extension installed that calculates a Competence Score. Some kind of merger of builtwith, count of (attempted) third party cookies, and number of console warnings.

Giant US pickups must not be normalized as civilian vehicles on the EU market. Same goes for US SUVs, too. No to RAMs, no to F-series, no to Suburbans, no to Escalades. European streets are for people.

On a Unix-like system, load is, and has always been, the number of processes waiting for CPU in the ready queue (often meaning they have unprocessed IO waiting for attention). A load number less than the number of CPU cores/threads means the computer will shortly have idle processing capacity.

Again, this has ALWAYS been the case. When you were a kid, those computers had a single CPU core, or two at max.

Steamer pot, filled to little past the bottom of the steamer piece will cook rice as well or better as a rice cooker appliance without a lot of regard to the time. Rice will absorb all the water it can and excess stays at the bottom. Just don't let it boil dry.

Anything that pretends to be id, age or gender assurance is, in fact, putting its victims at risk of identity theft, and in the meantime probably also selling demographic info to an ad network.

A remarkable trend. Polish renewable production surpassed coal, and is on track to surpass all fossil energy soon.

Wonderful to see these unique earning opportunities here, especially in these trying times. It's no more just Nicole!

Yeah - while I'm not entirely a fan of the "fedi is like email" argument (due to public vs private, identity and spam control differences), the migration question, I think, compares to number portability, which is basically 100% transparent across most markets today (though only within countries) and has improved mobile networks for both consumers and operators. Fedi should be less like email, more like mobile networks.
@tchambers

Cheers Tim for a good post again. I see you're getting pushback on the onboarding server idea. I would argue that had we a good account portability model that solved also post history, there would be no need for a centralized onboarding. Don't like your local community or service provider? Migrate somewhere else. Bluesky does have this slightly better thought out, if not yet practically proven.

Starting today, there's no rail link between Helsinki and Turku for 5 weeks due to construction work. Today we start our summer #CrossBorderRail by traveling from Helsinki to Turku to board a ferry to Stockholm.

So, Turku was wet. Stockholm is forecasted more wet. We'll board our first train of this #CrossBorderRail trip tomorrow once we have waded through that monsoon.

The Turku to Stockholm archipelago ferry route is one of the most beautiful passages in the world, and the ferries themselves pamper passengers with great food and services. We don't have fast rail to continental Europe from Finland, but we have this.

Great writeup of the Original Sina, Tim! And behind these ones on the list is a long list of the Thousand Papercuts, from misplacing mentions at start of the reply body text (when a perfectly good mention field exists in the protocol) to inability to remember the readers' position in their (reverse chron and random) timeline. The papercuts could be solved by the client, but increase friction all the same.

Fascists will never run out of enemies. They may easily run out of friends, though.
