hot take: 500 characters limit is really good and forces you to write easy to digest posts

but also, complaints about threads are valid. it's the worst format in existence. mastodon and co really should have article attachments similar to how telegram does telegra.ph articles

so you get an inviting article embed and can press it to instantly read it, no need to open browser. plus maybe have the ability to select text and comment on it or share it with others

He’s here! The prototype, anyway. He’s big, squishy, and friend-shaped. We’ll try to make him as affordable as possible. You’ll have to wait a couple more months to get one, but we might open pre-orders relatively soon.

I'm anxious about devs pumping their GitHub contributions by weaponizing Devin (and better future incarnations) to create sounding PRs to popular OSS repos. It will take time to realize the PRs are automated. We'll close 90%. A nightmarish drainer of maintainers' time and energy.

Pirate Minecraft the right way, for frogs sake!

Piracy is not a problem, it's a side effect of a wider problem. In the world full of cruelty have some compassion for less fortunate. This includes fellow Minecrafters who have no way to purchase the game, and get exposed to the wild and dangerous world of piracy. I wrote an article, a guide in a way, because I hate to see how people fall victims to a misleading way of pirating Minecraft — the offline mode. Have some read.

In my latest video, I tell the story of visiting three natural history museums in Europe by train, and I get some help from Tier Zoo for some thoroughly enjoyable facts about dinosaurs.

And it all went really well! That is, until we tried to get to Germany. 😬

Oh gosh, you really need to think to come up with a more awful take than that.

people pirating minecraft, please put a little bit of effort to

• not download malware disguised as ‘cracked’ launchers
• not play on insecure offline mode servers and use alternative authlib implementations
• not ask for help with piracy in official places

is it a hot take that software trials shouldn't tick when you don't actually use the software?

like I sign up for some service for free tier and they immediately sign up me for their pro trials, and then next time I actually want to try pro feature they go like ‘lol no ur already used u trial’

or I want to try some software, sign up for trial and then life happens and I don't really have time to give this software a try, and next time they also be like ‘hey u already used ur trial’

lol I guess my YouTube subscribers on NJB Live didn't enjoy my gaming streams lately. I lost 8 subscribers! 😆

Twitch subscribers went up on the same content though, which further reinforces my idea to stop multi-streaming and start putting different content on Twitch and YouTube.

The audiences and their expectations are different.

Plus using Restream is annoying and introduces lag, and multi-chat is annoying, too.

gotta say @signalapp's desktop app is utter shit, fourth time this garbage loses all my data, and the fact that signal doesn't sync history between device is not making this situation any better.

if your app is so unreliable, give me a stupid option to sync my chat history from mobile

‘we've moved away from crowdin’ is a lot more like ‘we hate our non-masochistic translators’

Pixelfed Account Migration will transfer your followers to another Pixelfed or Mastodon account!

We could limit this to only other Pixelfed servers, but why?

The ability to easily migrate your followers between platforms and servers is what makes the #fediverse special ❤️
