Android 14 officially releases for Pixel phones

The "highlights" are a new wallpaper picker and new lock screen clocks.

It’s honestly amazing to me how many things Gen Z seems to assign nostalgia to that they literally NEVER would have been exposed to.
Like all these slow shutter videos? You were never watching Super8 home movies, how is this nostalgic to you?

@EposVox
Idk. Back in the mid to late 90's, the 70's was back in style for a bit. (Think Dazed and Confused, That 70's Show). The late 70's and throughput the 80's it was the 50's (Happy Days, Grease, even Back to the Future). It probably just feels like a new phenomena because it's our personal generation being emulated, and there's a sense of ownership there.

True. Whatever the reason may be, I'm not sure it's necessarily a bad thing if it somehow helps keep older technology alive. Then again, if kids 50 years from now have fake nostalgia for Tide Pods, we're all doomed.

I'm like unironically in love with making my videos look like this, but people would complain so much

@EposVox
I say you go one step further, and do an entire video in "Gameboy Camera Mode".

I still pay $7.99 a month on my old grandfathered Google Play Music account. I know they'll be coming for me eventually.

With over 48K followers now, I do have to wonder - how many are actually still on Mastodon 🤔

What's Mastodon?

Hey everyone,

American Fietser on Mastodon will no longer be an active account. My Twitter is still in use, but my efforts and hopes will be going with Bluesky.

If any of you ever come over to the Bluesky platform, I'd be happy to see you there.

We are slowly, but surely getting more of your favorite urbanist content creators and community members over there one at a time.

"I don't want to chat with people in my community" Maybe you didn't mean it the way it sounds, but... Ouch.

Op-ed: Why the great didn’t quite pan out

The flight from Musk's Twitter to the "free" fediverse never really took off.

While I agree on some points, the whole thing seems a bit too sensationalist and angry IMHO.
@EposVox @arstechnica

billothekid2,

@EposVox
I agree 100% on this, actually. I just think declaring the Fediverse at large a failure is a bit premature. Incidentally, I've been enjoying Kbin for the last week or so, and feel like it might be a better format overall for decentralized internet.
