Your journey ends here, Pilot
“look, Activision wasn’t cheap. We’ve gotta keep the lights on here”
I recently listened to the vergecast episode about all of MS’s recent announcements and was genuinely shocked to hear recall being compared to, more or less, the local caching that already happens while you use your computer (+ the normalized big tech tracking). My gut reaction was that that’s kind of an insane thing to think and I’m glad I’m being vindicated on that point.
I’m shocked I tell you! Shocked!
Inshallah
To be fair the “last time I checked” was a couple months ago, glad to see it tho!
Good thing most of the extant instances are European then 👍
Isn’t the “trajectory” that these systems are incredibly unsustainable both economically and environmentally? I’d hope that a machine that uses a few thousand homes’ worth of energy to answer a single query would be more useful than “can generate boilerplate code for me” or whatever.
Mostly for the federated bits I assume. Being able to follow people’s bookwyrm accounts from your other socials is an interesting idea, though I don’t know how often it actually happens in practice. If that stuff doesn’t interest you then yeah just use OL directly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
IIRC bookwyrm lets you search openlibrary for books if they’re not known by your server or some well-known instances like bookwyrm.social
If they really have been working on it since it was teased a few years ago, then I have to assume it will just be Skyrim: Again (Again)
It’s a shame that it probably won’t even be that much of a visual improvement, if Starfield is any indication
The worst part about HP is that I already have one of their printers but don’t use it enough to justify replacing it 😔
Calling that a “score” seems like a bit of a stretch
For me personally with my instance, yes
If it was almost any other corporation I’d be willing to give them a chance. If Tumblr actually launches ActivityPub I doubt many people will complain. The fact that it’s Facebook though makes it pretty much a non-starter imo.
As an admin of a small instance, the privacy stuff is pretty secondary to the moderation headache Threads’ traffic would surely induce. mastodon.social
by itself produces enough crap that I’ve silenced them, I can’t imagine that Threads will be any better and indeed assume it’ll be much worse in that regard.
Besides that, I think there’s a difference between having data publicly available and voluntarily sending it straight to a data broker. Either way I don’t think you should need much of a reason to tell Facebook to fuck off and I find it kind of strange that people seem so hesitant about it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yes, I am biased against the energy guzzling lie machine
It’s caused by refraction of the sun’s light by the atmosphere
Ah, timely as ever, really riding that crypto hype
At least they’re not launching their own token
yet
