My only gripe that makes me stay with Memmy is lack of any method of saving/sharing just the photo of a post.

…this is literally something an intern could write in a single afternoon.

I guess I am a cross between “Normie” and “Conservative”. I use macOS and Fedora daily, I watch MKBHD but also watch FOSS YouTubers. I use WhatsApp, but only because, in Netherlands, it’s impossible to live without it. I don’t use any Chromium, and I use Firefox, but I also use Safari.

Fuck getting labeled.

The “test” being whitelisting Chrome/Safari user agent? Because Bing AI works perfectly fine in Safari, as long as you change your user agent to Edge’s.

It seems easy, but the moment you ask the user to “choose their instance” - you already push away a lot of untechnical people. What is an instance? How do I know which one is good? Will I be able to talk to people on other instances (look at Lemmy, some instances are blocked by other instances)? Why do I even have to choose an instance?

From an UX standpoint, that’s a disaster. Stuff like Lemmy or Mastodon will remain forever a niche, because of that.

EDIT: Typo

Okay, try explaining it to my 51 years old father. Or someone who really isn’t into tech in general.

Federated stuff will work for you and I - technically knowledgeable people. But we are a tiny fraction of population. The success of WhatsApp lays in its super simplicity.

Oh I think there is hundreds reasons to shit on Apple, but this ain’t one of them.

Great! If you’re technical and not have iOS. That’s already 50% of British market not using it.

Besides, it won’t help you if that’s a government mandate, and Google will be forced to take it down for the UK market from the store. Not a lot of people are installing apps from outside the Play Store.

Everyone commeting here saying “good, we will switch to X” is absolutely stupid. This law means no iMessage, no Signal, no WhatsApp, no Telegram, no secure encrypted messaging for anyone.

“Feels like I’m wearing nothing at all!… Nothing at all!… Nothing at all!…”

True, although I think it’s enough for most people.

You’ll soon be able to do the same with an iPhone too with iOS 17.

From my experience, if you keep declining yourself stuff like that, you are setting up yourself to fail. Have that pizza, just remember to not go and stuff yourself to the point where you can’t walk because you’re full. Remember to eat slowly too.

What’s the show?

Yeah, but I rarely if ever leave those constraints, so it does not matter to me at all. Day to day, I use macOS anyway, and Mint only comes on my desktop PC.

“Where do you see yourself in 5 years?”

“Hopefully not homeless.”

She genuinely looks terrifying (whoever she is).

Thanks for Firefox Translations, I’ve been looking for such extension for a while.

Mint. Easy to setup, fast to run, and very reliable.
