They don't need to deprecate the connection. Power users that care about privacy will be on Mastodon. Casual users that follow them and don't care because they want a polished experience will remain on Threads. Meta can have its c

I'm going to be controversial and disagree with this. If you're being onboarded to an app, and there's a "enable telemetry?" button and it's clear and checked by default, that's not awful. If your data is

Garbage article. The author claims that Flatpak (which is decentralized) is an attempt at centralizing software since Flathub (not controlled by IBM/Red Hat) is popular. Also any telemetry is awful, even telemetry that is open and opti

Taking a screenshot isn't breaking the model, it's using a portal. It just means that instead of every application having complete access to everything on the display, you move the trust to the compositor. I'm not a Windows u

I think you're right. It bypasses regulators and realistically it's going to capture the majority share of the fediverse anyway because it removes the complexity of picking a Mastodon instance.

If Threads follows through and implements ActivityPub, ATProto is dead in the water. ATProto may be superior in some ways (namely account portability) but ActivityPub is "good enough" and there's already a bunch of applicatio

Threads is federating with Mastodon, which is good for both of them.

Some home energy companies will do a free audit, in my case it's Mass Save. My in-laws on a limited income even got new windows and insulation for free.

I have one, it's actually not a huge deal because there's haptics on it. Plus they all have swipe actions in addition to tap actions. For example swiping goes +/- 5mph in cruise control, tapping is 1mph.

Skeptical, but not skeptical enough to sue to seek an injunction? They have standing, they have full copyright ownership of many packages in RHEL.

I've been using Boost for a while now and decided that I'd give the actual client a shot. I mean I've been using Reddit since 2006 and old habits die hard. I did not expect it to be so awful. Scrolling is actually sluggish fo

Did they shoot themselves in the foot? It was a lot easier selling RHEL licenses when people were running on-prem workloads. These days the support contract many enterprises want is from their cloud provider, not their OS vendor.

The most recent generation of consoles is a pretty significant value, there's not a whole lot of PCs that can rival the PS5's performance for the price, even when you do a 1:1 comparison with their PC ports. Physical titles still

Not in Texas but among my more conservative family members the ability of it to act as a backup battery during power outages makes up for the fact that it's electric. That's a huge deal. They're usually living in a more rural

Diablo IV just came out and was a massive success, that's an Activision title.

So you only need one person to pay for access to RHEL and mirror it. It's slightly more inconvenient but doesn't seem like a major hassle. I bet someone at IBM was mad that they spent a ton of money in bandwidth costs to aid their

Professionally, I'm running everything on Debian because it's always been around, always rock solid, isn't going to make any stupid decisions for profit, and containerizes well. If I'm at a place that's willing to p

Tesla having 18% of the market isn't a reason to short Tesla, it just means the market for EVs is growing. Tesla's cars obviously don't appeal to everyone, and with GM and Ford having Supercharger access, there's not muc

These requirements (not legal, they are by the telcos) are "soft" now and become "hard" this summer. There is a huge push for all campaigns and businesses using A2P SMS to be registered by July.

It doesn't need to change Reddit's trajectory, it only needs to exist as a viable alternative. Here we are on HN, and HN isn't nearly as big as Reddit either but still a valuable platform, significantly better than r/tec

It's not nothing, it's 27k. There's a point at which a social network has enough content to be usable. Reddit (to me) hasn't significantly increased in value since I started using it 15 years ago. People post the same li

They removed SMS support because Google doesn't provide an RCS API, causing received RCS messages to fall on the floor. All carriers in the U.S. will default to RCS when messaging between Android phones these days.

It's #10 on the U.S. App Store, placing it ahead of Skype, Viber, and WeChat. Not as popular as some, but certainly doing fine.

Typically the users are voting in favor of this. Also mods aren't as replaceable as you think - who wants to work for Reddit for free while being treated as disposable?

No, if you have an account on one Lemmy instance you can subscribe to or post on a community (sub) hosted anywhere. Your home instance also houses all your subscriptions.

Nintendo? They're way out front in terms of hardware and game sales. Not to mention Microsoft makes Windows, and has significant control of PC gaming.

I mean that's a bus or Bus Rapid Transit, because a train requires dedicated infrastructure and is a fixed route. A bus can route around problems where a train cannot. In Boston they're trying to connect North Station and South St
