One eleventh one

mojo,

People have been saying this for the last 5 years and will continue saying this for the next 5 years. They make less smaller phones cuz people don’t buy them

mojo,

A hammer

Also these are privacy apps, not cyber security

mojo,

That just translates to empty and unfinished game. We need less of those.

mojo,

This is definitely fits within my fun budget for this payday!

mojo,

This is very off topic but I like that mastodon is now a platform more commonly being used to share information like this. Although for their mobile UI, I really hope they get rid of the bar on the right, it’s very odd.

mojo,

This is not a reason to prevent switching, quite the opposite. Encryption is an awesome thing, and should always be used. It also inevitably causes slowdowns, but the best case is that it’s practically nonexistent of a performance hit. Not a lot of Linux distros let you set up luks root encryption in the installer, and it’s still pretty tricky to setup. But also if you’re using Linux, you should always be using luks encryption if you can as well.

mojo,

I think the UI/UX is really good now, and comparable to Twitter, and better then Threads/Bluesky. Unfortunately most don’t get that far, because onboarding on the fedi is still a very big pain point and the very first thing people have to overcome. Also actually using the fedi, people linking other instances and whatnot really breaks the experience when you wonder why you’re suddenly on an identical looking site but are signed out. I think decentralization is simply a requirement for freedom, but also it is a confusing concept for onboarding that we haven’t quite solved yet. I’m optimistic that these things can improve though.

mojo,

Think that’s becoming more obvious, as the general census outside of our fedi bubble is also that it’s becoming a racist shit hole.

mojo,

That high barrier of entry is going to automatically keep out most non-techy people, and they tend to be a big source of entertaining content out there. Generally if you discount any bad UX as “takes only a bit effort to learn” that just means it’s not user friendly and needs a lot of improvement.

mojo,

The actual fedi experience for a non techy:

  1. Search Mastodon app
  2. Choose a Mastodon app, which one is the official, which one is the best, there’s so many!
  3. Instances? Why can’t I just sign up with Mastodon, what’s going on?
  4. Okay, why are these all different rules, what does this mean, and why are they all different?
  5. What am I actually signing up for? Who owns this instance, which I don’t understand the concept of? Will it randomly shut down?
  6. Who am I giving this personal data too?
  7. Okay, how do I find content, why is my feed so boring?
  8. Okay I clicked somebody’s link and it takes me to a different website, why can’t I like/reply/follow? Where am I?

At each one of these steps, there’s a new learning curve. If it’s not easy enough for your grandma, then it needs improvement.

mojo,

They’re not “YouTubers” now, it’s “content creators” now! Watching a video and laughing a little bit once a minute is valuable commentary.

mojo,

It’s literally against the law to state otherwise.

mojo,

DoT and DoH are really the most important when you’re not at home.

mojo,

So do you just not leave the house then, I think you misread my comment or something

mojo,

Debt you’ve used to make profitable investments

mojo,

The thing is, it’s really hard to be consistent on beliefs, especially in cases like this where it might sound unfavorable.

If you say you’re against surveillance and spying on devices, people will generally agree that’s a good thing. But this is an example of privacy invasion, and is justified because they caught CSAM, so it must be good, right?

Well in the big picture of things, this would be setting a precedent. Where they can justify these things because they can find and stop these things. This tends to lead to the “think of the children!” fallacy. Legislators are actively using this argument to push anti-privacy measures like breaking encryption so they can stop this. So it unfortunately means, respect privacy, or allow these things to go unchecked.

Freedom comes at a price, and you gotta stay consistent even if it lets bad guys get away with things. You can justify a lot of fascism in the name of stopping the bad guys, since obviously it’s not a good look to defend those actions.

mojo,

What

mojo,

Not sure if you read what you wrote, but it’s nonsense

mojo,

Not really, it’s like giving attention to someone you hate. They feed off of it.

mojo,

Pls elaborate when information is straight up not true

mojo,

Emacs is a life style

mojo,

It’s very expensive to move, especially so to more expensive states

mojo,

What world do you live in where money is not a deciding factor?

mojo,

It’s on my radar

mojo,

Are you just confused on why leaders exist or something

mojo,

I’m sure other people don’t mind ads. Yeah fuck that, I’m gonna ad block till the day I die.

mojo,

well I hope there’s more people like you to counteract me, cuz I never do that lol

mojo,

mojo,

who asked nerd

mojo,

The wording of this is so stupid for a lot of reasons. Specifically with how ambiguous “AI” is. The ghosts in pacman are AI.

If they’re talking about generating code bases, that’s just not going to happen.

If they mean LLMs being used by programmers in code editors as a useful tool, like GitHub Copilot, then that’s awesome and an increase in productivity.

Artists can use generative AI art for quick textures like repeating grass textures. An AI will not be able to match an art style or theme, it has a limited scope and can’t be hand crafted like what’s required in game with poly budgets.

Devs obviously love better tools. These save time and increase productivity.

mojo,

I immediately know Morrowind would be the top. The game has not aged well.

What is something (feature, modes, settings...) you would like to see become a standard in video games?

I’ve been thinking about making this thread for a few days. Sometimes, I play a game and it has some very basic features that are just not in every other game and I think to myself: Why is this not standard?! and I wanted to know what were yours....

mojo,

Then people would report it as a bug that the game is too quiet

mojo,

It’s not decentralized and e2ee is not implemented.

mojo,

Mastodon is not a real time chat

mojo,

Data brokers from adtech should straight up be 100% illegal and should be considered stalking.

mojo,

It’s giga cringe

mojo,

Kagi is a literal scam

mojo,

ddg does that for free

$10/mo is also crazy overpriced for a search engine, they’re really not resource intensive at all

mojo,

If you mean has a crawler, ddg does crawl and augments with bing. Kagi doesn’t have any crawler.

mojo,

This idea has definitely been tried before and has consistently failed

mojo,

Yeah it quickly becomes a dick measuring contest and shunning people for using different things. It becomes very black/white views, and have some crazy out of touch takes, like expecting your grandma to self host lol. They also confuse anonymity with privacy, like how not being able to sign up for something with tor and monero is a privacy violation, it’s not.

mojo,

It’s pretty dope when ur not the one paying lol

mojo,

When you’re called a coward you know it’s a W because it just means you don’t want to be dragged down to their level

mojo,

How do they survey you without windows though? Do you think they use Linux?

mojo,

True, I don’t go out of my way for it, but I definitely have a sweet spot for root beer. The rest taste like liquid syrup. Also root beer floats are bomb.

mojo,

No, mainly because they’re pumping out too many services. Also free VPNs just sound really sketchy to me.
