If users have to sign up (create an account) in the traditional flow, I think this is dead in the water :/

Did you use a specific guide? I’d like to try again and follow the exact same steps as you.

Yeah the files were like html files that had image links inside them if I remember correctly. But even those links didn’t work right. This is because of a change they made. I was absolutely distraught tbh. The feeling of being at the mercy

Yeah cobox rules. Especially the functionality to seed data that you don’t have access to. Their documentation is super nice too.

Yes this team is great. They also plan to offer their own hosting services.

I was recommended the github project “timeliner”. I’m open to other ideas though!

Takeout no longer includes actual image files. Either that or it broke for me. Someone recommended the github project called Timeliner to help me get the photos though. I just haven’t tried it yet.

The difference is that people on Twitter are chasing a real commodity called clout. Never underestimate what people are willing to do for clout. In comparison, 8chan was downright comfy.

It only works on Apple devices. I use an iPhone but also a Windows PC. It’s extremely simple to not consider Apple Music if you don’t have all Apple devices. I hate that ultimatum of “use ONLY our products or have a subpar experience.”

I don’t remember the exact quote, but I think it was Fr Seraphim Rose that said Russian people don’t know what the word “fun” is. They don’t understand “fun” as a general sense or feeling of ease / levity. I don’t know if this is accur

I think Activity Pub would work well if the federation servers were run by real towns / cities / states. One of the things that I like about Movim[1] is that the servers that are currently running it are literally just named after

Signal’s recent (not even yet out for many) implementation of mention-only notifications has reinvigorated my investment in them. I am a bit more confident now that usernames will eventually come. But the fact that it’s so slow to change is

Thank you for clarifying. I posted some critiques around activity pub last year and a developer assured me that they are already aware and working to solve them. Have you personally been involved in pushing forward more portable identities

If it really was a few bucks per month, I would consider it. Frankly though, I think you’d be hard pressed to find someone that thinks their random thoughts are worth $8 USD per month.

Does Stadia actually run on Linux? If so, I think that has tons of mp games, yes? Maybe it actually is worthwhile to support it as a vehicle to get anticheat on Linux?

I’m sure that it is better to learn English from a young age, yes. But as it stands currently, you have an advantage over me.

Yes, of course. But that was not the point I was making. Personally I find alphabets to be superior for that reason. But to be fair, I also don't know Chinese!

Let's imagine that there is an auxiliary language that takes 10 words from every language on Earth. Such a language would in fact be profoundly unfair to speakers of minority languages today because it would deny them access to the l

When you consider that words are essentially the same thing as sinograms (chinese characters), the spelling is not a big deal. English spelling needs to remain the same because they are primarily visual. Native level English users just scan
