I’ve never used inoreader, but Wikipedia lists it as “Freemium”. It’s not FOSS

Where’s the E?

I haven’t tried thrive in a while. I hear they’ve switched engines again, to Godot this time. Is it playable? Is it fun? Do they have more than the single-cell phase?

interesting.
the default config file is basically “Drew’s preferences watered down a bit for a general audience”
alacritty used to be Drew’s preferred terminal for sway.
sway does not come packaged with any terminal.

foot does not come with sway. why do you think foot comes with sway? foot and sway are unrelated.
they’re both good wayland software, though

“while pregnant due to facial recognition technology” damn. facial recognition technology is a lot more invasive than I thought it was.

Owncast is an open source streaming platform. It’s great for watch parties and it has its own built-in chat.

You can see a list of public streams in the Owncast Directory

People have been saying some variant of “the fediverse won’t work at scale if it stays free and without ads” for a decade now. And yet it keeps growing despite remaining free and without ads.

I’d appreciate a content warning or marking your post as nsfw when you post gore. I did not want to see that last panel.

the things you like about Reddit didn’t exist when Reddit was the new alternative to the enshittification of Digg. KBin is brand new and Lemmy was not much more than a tankie hub until recently.

KBin and Lemmy will build the communities you’re looking for over time. The question is: do you want those communities to develop under the shadow of the same algorithms, bots, and content you see on corporate social media, or do you want something new?

it’s more like suspending someone who has engaged in bad behaviour in the past and is likely/promising to do it again. if you own your own fediverse site, you decide what the rules are and how to enforce them.

the difference between the fediverse and the corporate-controlled social media sites is that you can actually enforce your rules against larger companies on your own corner of the internet.

For those who don’t know, the strategy is called Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish. The phase comes from Microsoft who used this to (try to) crush competing document editors, Java implementations, browsers, and operating systems. Other big tech companies employ similar strategies.

Facebook coming to the Fediverse is the Embrace phase of this process and that makes Mastodon, Lemmy, Kbin, Misskey, and Akkoma the competitors.
