I definitely recommend Dracula — not only is it good, but it’s also the prototype for basically every subsequent vampire book/movie:

This is a great idea, Voyager’s mobile experience is super polished.

Long shot, but would it be possible to get Mlmym installed at old.lemmy.world? Would be a fun throwback!

Not sure if you mean "engineers in general" or "engineers who specifically work on Lemmy.world", but assuming it's the former, I'm working on building a self-generating webcomic.

It's always been my dream to create a website that can completely self-populate with pointless content, and soon my dream shall be a reality.

When there's a subreddit about something you're interested in, but it's run by mods who enforce a extensive collection of esoteric posting rules.

We're sorry, but you've posted about Topic C on a Wednesday, which is strictly prohibited. Discussion of Topic C is only allowed in the megathread which is only open for comments on the first Saturday of odd numbered months. Didn't you read our rules?

Let's consider your email example -- I don't like a lot of stuff Google has done. By your proposed rules, should, say, ProtonMail block all emails from Gmail to prove a point?

I remember it well, and I was annoyed by it!

But in the end, I'd argue Google dropping XMPP simply restored the status quo: XMPP went back to being the same niche thing it was before Google started supporting it.

The Fediverse is just a term for “social networks that use ActivityPub”

Imagine if Facebook offered RSS feeds. That’d be nice right? It wouldn’t ruin anyone’s experience if they started supporting an open standard like that.

Supporting ActivityPub is no different. It will let people on third party clients connect to Facebook properties. Don’t want to do that? You don’t have to!

This is actually why I’m excited for ActivityPub in Threads. I’m hoping that it can function as a gateway drug to the Fediverse.

“Like Threads? Then continue to follow all your friends there while moving to an ad-free Mastodon client!”

I love the idea of this, but the only reason I check Instagram is to see what my friends are posting, which I couldn’t do on an alternative, sadly.

I’m really wondering how the prescription lens part will work. At WWDC, they custom made lenses based on your glasses prescription, but the cost of them doing that for anyone who makes an appointment seems excessive.

Really hoping the EU finally forces Apple to open up their devices and we can be done with their nonsense. Let me use real Firefox on my iPad already!

they have full control over the app

Yup, this is also my problem with Signal; you're stuck with whatever boneheaded decisions the devs make and there's nothing you can do about it. Personally, my pet peeve is their refusal to add any kind of data export. As someone who likes backing up chat history, this is a dealbreaker for me.

If Lemmy ends up with enough interesting content that it supplants Reddit as a source for vapid YouTube channels’ content, I see that as a win for Lemmy.
