Nice to see a new flagship with a MicroSD slot and a headphone jack. Also, Sony have a good track record with opening up their Android phones.

But yeah, shame about the price.

Event planning platforms are never going to compete with massive social communication platforms, they're entirely different ends of the stick.

As long as Mobilizon continues to work, that's all I ask for.

A lot of EV auto makers have been arguing that the frequencies that some of the electrics in the cars run at interfere with AM radio reception.

Not sure if that's a legitimate argument or they just don't want to pay for extra shielding to block out the noise.

The Germans have been making jank fantasy games for years. They’re just only on PC and nobody plays them.

SEK have done a ton of animation work for foreign firms. This is probably the only way they’re getting outsourcing work done now since all of the sanctions were put in place. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEK_Studio

Mastodon is powered by sex toy companies, essay taking services and online casinos. Doesn’t seem that out of place to me.

EDIT: For all the down voters, please peep the Mastodon sponsor list: joinmastodon.org/sponsors#supported_by. Website boy doesn’t get off any more scot-free than anyone else.

T.S is also based on Mastodon and got caught using their code without attribution. That was the joke.

Also, obligatory death to america

Embracer has really been a mess. Buying everyone up in the hopes the Saudis were definitely going to be on board with funding them probably didn’t help.

Just chucking everyone in a “Thing and friends” team probably isn’t helping matters either. Surely someone from the many dozens of development teams they have could have thought of better names.

He joined Universodon during one of the Twitter exoduses a couple years back. Elvira also joined Universodon without knowing it was a space themed instance. Not sure if she’s still there.

What’s your use case? Likeminded techie friends? Family members?

Signal works well as an alternative to the likes of Telegram and WhatsApp, even if it still requires a phone number and is centralised. Far easier to explain to the family instead of “oh well you can sign up on this website or this website or that website”.

Granted, if you want to host a small Matrix server just for the family, then go for it.

I’ve been a Posteo customer for a few years and they’ve been great. €1 a month, mail storage encryption, works great with any IMAP client.

As good as the intentions of Tutanota and Proton are with free plans, the likes of Gmail have taught me to be very wary of free plans of anything.

I used a Hisense A5 Pro CC phone for a few months as my daily driver. For books, colour eink is okay at best but yeah, contrast sucks. It pretty much always will with the extra layers of filtering needed for each colour.

Outside of static pages of text and images, you pretty much need to drop colour depth to pretty garish levels for a decently responsive user experience. It’s a nice idea but really isn’t very good in practice.

I have a Milk-V Mars but it really isn’t performant enough for any task I have for an SBC. Distro support seems to be a pain too, as the provided Debian image isn’t meant to run on repos aside from a Debian snapshot from 2022.

I really do hope things improve. I’m planning on moving over to an RK3588 ARM board for desktop daily drivering but one day I’m hoping a decently affordable RISC V alternative will turn up.

Most of my family here in Australia use iPhones, and by extension, iMessage. Granted, they also use FB Messenger, Snapchat and all the rest, but mainly iMessage. It’s the default and it works for them.

I can assure you that this is not a thing exclusive to the US.

Mastodon and Misskey are both getting a little overstuffed. Neither are particularly nimble, with Masto moving to further “professionalise” itself and Misskey (forks included) having way too much stuff on offer in terms of features.

Regarding clients, Kaiteki seems to be the best Misskey client I’ve found on mobile. The native PWA was an absolute pain the last time I used Misskey. The anime issue with it probably stems from it’s Japanese origin and most big instances seen as refuges for artists banned off Twitter.

I’ve personally switched to GoToSocial, which seems to fill all the Mastodon-shaped holes without gulping down resources.

There’s no money in privacy.

Harvesting and selling personal information is practically a continual source of funds with little to no cost. Why spend time and money developing a product with all the data harvesting elements stripped out to appeals to maybe 5-10% of the market?

I second this.

Had to fix up mum’s laptop and she wanted Windows 10 with all the Microsoft Office gubbins (she had to settle for Libreoffice). Didn’t want a word of anything Linux because “it might not work with any of my stuff”. I don’t know of a single thing she does outside of web browsing and typing up word documents.

You just can’t change some people.

Probably, she uses Windows 10 at work.
