I'm not sure what exactly you're talking about.

This article—which I haven't read—has a screenshot of mobile Google Chrome tab grouping. Hopefully this'll help.

I already played at least two :^) Thanks for reminding me

It's dangerous to tell people "shit's fucked and there's nothing you can do about it" because they might believe you and do nothing.

Which is why I'm not doing that.

P.S. I'm not advocating for doom here, I just wish more people understood that Americans buying cheap Chinese electric cars won't save the people living nearby the mine in Africa where the cobalt for those batteries was extracted.

I don't think you disagree with the parts where I say people will suffer.

With respect, I think you're projecting a discussion with a different person onto this article.

I don't think so? My comment is generally aimed at "the situation is grim, but tech just got awesome, so let's save the planet people!" optimism-filled pieces, much like this one. Forgive me if I come across as affronted when, as temperatures reach new and dangerous heights in certain regions, I am put out seeing someone say market forces are on the cusp of saving us.

For what it's worth, I hope you're right.

Discoverability is a huge barrier to entry in the Fediverse, and they're not helping.

It's hard for me to judge them too harshly, though. Fediverse devs do things I disagree with all the time, and users too. Maybe, in a different world, something else could've taken Mastodon's place... but its forks stick close, Pleroma has the charm of a brick, Misskey is too 日本, and Misskey forks got Messy, and—

...Oh. That's it, isn't it? Mastodon is the best that ActivityPub has to offer most microblogging fans.

Thank you.

Whenever using this trick, I'd suggest using DDG instead of Bing if possible.

Is this the official Mozilla connect survey? I believe the question order and groupings were randomized, and that may have been a (IMO bad) control question.

In the first couple of years (2018 - 2019) Kagi was focused on AI technology, driven by the notion that any future search engine will need to have a strong instant question-answering component.

They literally started as an AI company, and I'd bet money the CEO is a huge fan of it. Did search even cross the profitability threshold yet?

The subtle ways having a toxic community affects unconscious design decisions. It's a message.

...joking, to be clear. Could be a raindrop.

I believe that's incorrect. The reporter who started this rumor either misunderstood the meaning of the chart or was lying through his teeth. I'll find the original source and share it here later.

Linux Foundation Report.

This is the actual source. If you simply scroll through it, you'll see they're investing in many things that move the Linux ecosystem forward. Open standards, open hardware, security in the software stack, providing for latest market needs, keeping an eye on legislation that could affect Linux, staying in touch with important entities in the industry, and so on.

Scroll down near the bottom and you'll find where the reporter got their information from. It's an expenditure chart and, sure enough, it says "Linux Kernel Support 2%" Note, however, that it also says:

• Community Tooling 5%
• Training and Certifications 7%
• Project Infrastructure 9%
• Project Support 64% (!)

Note that it doesn't say how any of them is further divided. Remember all the things I mentioned earlier? All of that is value for Linux as a whole.

Software projects aren't just about programming the big thing. Working on a large project will show you this. Could the foundation spend more on Linux? Maybe. But saying they only spend 2% on it is disingenuous.

The reporter doesn't mention this in his clickbait piece, either because he doesn't get it in the first place, or more likely because he just wants to push his views.

This is yet another example why Lunduke isn't a credible source of news.

Then you're likely being mean to kids and young teens. If you're good at it, you might even get banned. That's the good outcome.

On the other hand, an isolated community can also become a nasty brewing pot, reinforcing harmful behaviors and even intensifying them over time.

I don't think calling them safe spaces for hateful assholes is accurate, but I understand frustrations with them.

There's at least one interesting fellow in this very thread sharing extremely predictable opinions.

I thought I was annoying when arguing. Still do, but I found someone worse. Doesn't make me feel better, because it seems I'm sharing a table with them.

There's a chance duckduckgo does something similar, but sadly I can't check at the moment.

Leaving a comment so I remember to try it later—unless anyone reading is willing to do so.

Yes, people chase content, which means chasing where many people are, but why did Bluesky become a mainstream alternative and Mastodon didn't?

I'm saying marketing doesn't cut it, and it's not just about where most users are either, otherwise everyone but Threads would be irrelevant.

People bounce off both Threads and Mastodon, and there are platform-related reasons for that.

That may be true for some people, but isn't a valid generalization. See the Brazil blocking Twitter situation.

Millions decided to give Bluesky a chance and a graph showed daily user activity quadrupling. Now, a not-insignificant portion are saying they refuse to return to Twitter because:

• It feels less toxic and healthier
• They have more control over their experience
• They're finally having fun with social media again

Sound familiar?

And I'm pretty sure Misskey has more features. Hell, Mastodon as well probably. Bluesky doesn't even support video yet.

The first sin of the Fediverse isn't being small, that's the second. First is being a pain in the ass.

This was one of the reasons I left, and I assumed most disliked the official app, but weren't willing to part with the content.

Now, I think I was too close minded. Stuck in my bubble. If it's not in a discussion about reddit sucking, chances are people don't care that much.

App sucks? Didn't think about that, it's just an app. App really sucks? Whatever, they already use 5 other apps that are worse.

The medium shapes the experience, but isn't an experience unto itself. Not that important to the average person.

Why are there three forks(?) of what I assume is Misskey? I think the original is still kicking, even.

With modern internet speeds, there's no reason you can't have full UHD-BR quality streamed over the internet.

Cost is a prohibitive reason for many (hardware, internet).

I do believe files are better than physical media, simply because with the proper setup they're easily backed up and won't degrade or break.

Everyone makes mistakes. You've grown, rejoice.

It's also a reminder that many may still learn who he really is.
