Just somebody that you used to know.
I was an early reddit user from before the time subreddits existed. Much of the user base, including myself, were asking for tag functionality, but the subreddit concept was introduced instead. I guess they needed a way to moderate tags, and that was their solution. Decades later, they told those same mods to go fuck themselves, so maybe they should have just used tags in the first place like they clearly expected subreddits to act.
Hope this one is as fun as the first one was on acid!
As an American visiting Europe, please do! Dealing with multiple airports here sucks so much!
HackerNews is ok sometimes. Lot of shitty tech bros there, though, so I don’t bother posting or anything. Good source for interesting links, though!
And how deep your bites are.
No need to refresh. Duplicate replies are a fact of life on federated sites or threads that get a lot of activity.
As far as I can tell, following someone via Kbin is for either getting their microblog posts (Mastodon-style) or for more generally getting their activity federated to your instance (if it’s like the general ActivityPub concept).
If you could run your own Signal instance, then that could help alleviate concerns of bad faith operators. That’s what Session is essentially (started as a fork of Signal): https://getsession.org
It’s not reactive. A proper reactive system can handle fluctuations in usage patterns more robustly.
Anything less than 99% of infrastructure working that way would be surprising. Everything is held together with scotch tape and scotch whisky.
Spez is playing both sides so he comes out on top!
There are two legitimate concerns about Signal: they use real phone numbers as identifiers, and you have to trust Signal as the server operator as they don’t allow their client to be used with other servers. While the server software is also open source, you have to trust that they’re running the same version in production.
Oh no, Apple develops Apple-specific features to add value to their products! Someone alert the Department of Justice! My bubbles will NOT be discriminated against!
Just in time for the EU to also force third party app stores through, and X attempting to make one sounds plausible even if they get nowhere with it.
