I like mastodon. Not sure anyone here can accurately tell you whether it fits your needs (especially since ppl use twitter very differently). One difference that sticks out to me is that mastodon isn't designed to goad for more engagem

I'm remembering a HN comment from yesterday that suggested Microsoft use this as an opportunity to rebrand bing... Kind of hilarious they thought calling it "new bing" was the way to go.

Wondering if this is firmware is signed, hoping they removed signing or it was never signed. I've used the controller a bit this week to play games on my android phone and quite like it.

I'm not an expert on the topic, but I imagine that a heat pump that can handle -20F is also much more energy efficient when the temp is 0F (in comparison to a heat pump that was rated only for -5F, operating at 0F).

Their goal was to produce a fusion reaction not to improve laser efficiency. That's a bit like complaining they didn't account for the energy used to structure the fuel. I don't think it's 'specific accounting'
