In don’t know or care about their intentions. If we want to claim we are an open protocol then mastodon needs to role with the puches. Otherwise you might as well be on threads.

Yeah, let’s defederate from a major player that wants to participate in the decentralized nature of this protocol. That way we further fragment Mastodon and guarantee its failure in the long run! Good call!!!

I wish them much success but sounds like a hack.

I bet they do some thing like make it optional on the iPhone and the user needs to turn that setting on to get RCS. Obviously most users don’t care and will never look. 

Cool, but how? I don’t see a star icon for those. 

I pay for YouTube premium, but it’s a lot of money given they have $0 production cost.

You’re absolutely right I had not realized it was collapsible.

Yes. Agreed but this causes confusion. You need online storage.

My problem with mastodon is the same one I have with Twitter. It’s very easy to get up and running. You can get a feed filled with nonsense to read but if you’re actually interested in any topic, it’s really hard to get a feed that matches your interest. 

I think most of the stats are deceiving. In my opinion, most of the actual activity or users read, and comment happens on Lemmy, as opposed to mastodon where you mostly just have observers. 

True, but most other Lemmy apps, give you the option to just automatically open the article in Reeder mode. 

People need to stop being cheap and always pay for enough storage to have their phones and photos backed up at all time. They complain about paying for anything until they loose their data and then pretend they never knew.

This focus on speed in processors and phones, I think, is silly. They need to have good speed and great build. Having the absolute-latest tech, I just don’t see it as essential.

What I meant is that you can’t browse post in reader mode with any of the options provided. (I think). Summary view is awesome but that is not reader mode.

Same here, every time I make a comment on this topic I get shot back that the fingerprint reader on phone X is wonderful. In my experience, the only fingerprint readers that consistently worked were those on the back of the phone. In either case, I’ll take face unlock any day over a fingerprint reader. Just another thing that Apple got right and then never looked back. 

But this is not released yet, right? I went and picked a couple audiobooks to listen them to them, but it comes back that I have to go into Spotify on the web and buy them and when I go there, I literally have to buy them there’s no listening to X hours, etc. 

That’s interesting I didn’t know it was limited to the main account. I’m a big audiobook listener, and the idea of being able to listen to something but then move on to something else is appealing. I pay for one credit on Audible every month but I have a lot of books, that after getting into them for a couple hours I realize they’re not really for me. That’s a lot of wasted money.  I wonder if the Spotify is going to give you the option to buy the book? 

They can’t leave because apparently Ukraine is Nazi infested.

Over time everything gets eaten up by open systems. If you are worried about lemmy or mastodon, don’t be. Other open systems are the real concern. I’m rooting for nostr.

The lack of sincerity of these candidates is becoming normalized. The same-day voting has nothing to do with what makes sense or not. What they are pitching is what historically will be most beneficial to their party. That is the real issue.
