Yeah, that's pretty much my take as well.

All the "but muh datas" pearl clutching is just annoying and frankly, ridiculous. If they wanted to mine us, they already would have. They're probably doing it as we speak. They didn't have to create a multi-million social network for it. A raspberry pi on someones desk would have sufficed. Fedi doesn't have any (/very much) privacy.

They're doing this to escape the wrath of EU privacy watchdogs. They were already fined for $1.3bn and more is coming. Running their Twitter killer on interoperable protocol is nice, because it's free and they get to point at W3C and say they're LIKE TOTALLY supporting data portability. Why would they "extend and extinguish" that? It's their alibi.

I don't like Meta. It's a shit company ran by shit people. I hope they burn in hell.
But I can't really get my panties in a twist about threads.net existing.

I'll get angry if they somehow figure out to push ads to my face.

But for now. Maybe I'll block it. Maybe I won't. We'll see.

Local mail client (Thunderbid) - IMAP/POP - sync.
Once done, move to a local folder and delete from Gmail.
You can just backup the Thunderbird profile, if you want to keep the mails safe

He can touch deeznuts

Yeah will be interesting to see if they enable two-way federation. It's problematic for them

Not more than it is now. Everything is already public so if they need it, they've already been collecting it. This doesn't really change anything.

Will be interesting to see how they deal with nazis and CSAM from all the Japanese servers.

Vironlainen tuli, vaikka kovasti yritin torjua kahvilla ja metallilla. Lihan, viinan ja uskonnon puutteet varmaan pudotti pisteet.

There's thousand different stats around this, but generally most analysts place consoles slightly ahead of PC with stronger growth potential, but it depends a bit where in the generation cycle they do their measurements.

Most of this has been overshadowed by mobile gaming though.

Smaller marketshare,
Pretty sure they'd release mobiile console PC if they could get away with it.

The PC release will be a year or so after to get people to double dip.

But at least MKBHD tried to say nice things about it in his video. He really tried.

Yes, because the last two years have been so full of fantastically good news.

Ah ok, well LUKS in that case I guess

gpg-zip maybe?

Because the more market share leads to better hardware and driver support

The Gnome devs say you don't need a mascot.

Antenna Pod is 10/10.

What's really wild is that you don't have to go that far into the past (just ca. 20 years) when the Internet was all about Information wanting to be Free. It was hopeful time of people coming together around new technology. There were a lot new businesses with wild innovations.

And then, just in a decade it was all gone. Replaced by unregulated behemoths that merged until there's a dirty dozen left, controlling most of global money and information.

Enshittification of the Internet.

The real problem with the internet isn’t Facebook or Twitter or Reddit, it’s the fact the entire experience is pretty much controlled by Microsoft and Google

I think the real problem is that the entire Internet is basically just a dozen multi-billion Big Tech companies and the entire "Internet economy" is so tightly weaved into advertising money.

Raideliikenteen yksityistämisestä on huonojakin esimerkkejä, mut tämän pitäisi toimia VR:n rinnalla.

No jos katsotte tänne Ruotsin puolelle - täälla on aika monta yrittäjää jotka ajaa valtion rautateiden (SJ) rinnalla.
Yhteistyö yrittäjien välillä ontuu ja hintakehitys on sellasta että on halvempaa ostaa lentoliput.
Ja sillon pääsee myös perille ajoissa, junista ei koskaan tiedä.

Toivottavasti teillä toimii paremmin. Meilla ei toimi ollenkaan.

I need Linux for my work, so it's not really possible to switch.
I do keep a Windows machine for gaming at home though.

Right tool for the job and so on..
