The irony of a book about exploitation being DRM locked by Adobe...

I love so much that because there's no 'favorite' algorithm on the fediverse that people give posts favorites just because they like them.

That's the kind of positivity we need more of.

Has anyone tried using a FairPhone 4 in the US?
How was your experience with it?
How did you like the camera?

@Longplay_Games Hardware's nice, feels like a phone that'll last five years, no cases available, Murena software is pure clownshoes but LineageOS is available. I did a thread somewhere, I'll dig it up for ya later

@Longplay_Games I would say, "This is probably the best phone you can buy in 2023" and "Because phones in general have gotten WAY worse" are fighting for equal truth here

I find it disturbing how many job openings there are right now for really obsolete tech + electric polygraph requirements.

Did a whole bunch of old security people just die?

Sorry, but I'm not being strapped to a chair just to manage your websphere infrastructure.

reneestephen,

@Longplay_Games strapped to a chair is the ONLY way I'd manage websphere infrastructure

I'd ask "is there a way to stop the new mastodon from autoexpanding images, from putting every single favorite in my notification with the entire web preview expanded, and to get favorite notifications without it showing the whole thing to me every time"

But the answer is pretty obviously no.

This version is a huge step backwards in user experience.

@Longplay_Games Have you checked any of the other alternative WebUIs to see if they suit better? I'm liking Pinafore and Elk for web so far

Brett_E_Carlock,
@Brett_E_Carlock@mastodon.online avatar

@Longplay_Games correct, yes!

There are likely others, but I really like dev.pinafore.social for how fast and light it is, and elk.zone for how feature-rich, while still being light.

I'm confused - where's "local" on the new Mastodon?
That's where I spend the majority of my time.

@britt@mstdn.games avatar

@Longplay_Games yeahhhh I’m not a big fan of that — doesn’t really help smaller niche servers like ours. :(

@britt Looks like this was all just to chase after the bouncing ball?

No thanks. If I wanted to be on twitter... I'd be on twitter?

The unity complaints are annoying to wade through, but are also literally why we pivoted off Epic's UE 2 years into development.

When a company moves the goalposts on your livelihood, you realize you're in their power.

That gives you a really simple choice.

We made ours, now the unity folks get to make theirs.

Testing out the extremely inexpensive ($30) music player I purchased for someone with the help of the Fedi.

So far, it's actually quite reasonably decent. It's not going to win any awards, but it's not DOA or garbage so far.

@Longplay_Games Ooh you got one! What did you find?

@Longplay_Games awesome!

Hope the can help with this:
Looking for a music player for a very specific edge case.

  • Bluetooth
  • MicroSD
  • 8-9 hours battery
  • Smaller than a mobile phone (or a phone would be used instead)

Been looking all over the internet and everything in this niche seems to either be very poorly reviewed or super sketchy.

It's for someone in a demanding/harsh job that precludes just using a mobile for music/audiobooks.

I'm sure it's not as creepy as it seems that suddenly patreon pages I left years ago are hitting everyone up... but we're not going to do that to people.

I get it. I do. But it seems creepy to me.
