Bill

I was playing Baldur’s Gate 3 shortly after release and got a popup from Bing over the game asking if I wanted to enable Bing in Chrome. I immediately blocked bing.com on my network. Never looked back.

We all forgetting Maggie just straight-up murdered someone for trying to take her lollipop?

Pretty attached. My parents picked it.

If I could just be “Bill” everywhere I would but it really only works on the fediverse.

That’s a coincidence, I was drooling over this exact keyboard just this morning. I like a numeric keypad in the office but most keyboards are just a little too wide. Hope you enjoy it. Which switches did you go for?

I think it’s okay to keep discussing this because the app situation is very much in flux at the moment. I’m on Jerboa because it’s the best native app I’ve found that plays nice with a folding phone and Samsung DeX. My requirements are simple, but they are niche. I’m keeping an eye on a few other apps though because while Jerboa is great as it is there are improvements to be found.

Yeah it does kinda matter, which is problematic for onboarding new users. Personally:

• I read the rules/TOS.
• I checked the Instances page to make sure instances I wanted to access were linked and not blocked.
• I looked for any introduction posts to see what the backend infrastructure was like.
• I checked the username I wanted was available.

It should not be that complicated, but it also has to be unfortunately. I had to make sure all those things matched what I personally wanted. This much choice is great for heavily-invested tech nerds with free time but sucks for anyone else wanting to join in.
