I mean you could read what I wrote, multiple times... 

If only Bluesky was available to us plebs.

Somehow I doubt it changed a lot since last November, and at the time it didn’t work “just like Twitter”, also I didn’t say it was “dead”, I said it was a ghost town as far as I’m concerned. I also linked an entire editorial that described what has been the same as my experience as well. But whatever, if you like it,…

You did read what I wrote, right? I signed up to Mastodon YEARS AGO. I drifted off because it was cumbersome to use and literally nobody I actually wanted to follow was there. (Sorry, I don’t care about George Takei or Mark Ruffalo...’s PR staff, all that much. My interests lie elsewhere.) I dusted it off last year,…

I mean, there’s always the option of being a bit less greedy when it comes to user data... but I know that tantamounts to a utopia. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

No, it’s not. I tried it years ago - it was clunky, cumbersome and a ghost town. I tried it again last year - it was still clunky, still cumbersome, and still a ghost town. Here’s something that may sound weird to some people: most people prefer an easy, user-friendly experience over “FEDERATED NETWORK!!11!1"

And users in the EU are apparently out of luck, for now.

I haven’t seen Bluesky yet (because 4 months after applying for an invitation I still haven’t received one, not even an automatic “thank you for registering” email) but I imagine anything that’s more user-friendly and less overall cumbersome to use than Mastodon would be more attractive.

I’m willing to believe that Bluesky is awesome (regardless of it being run by... Jack Dorsey...) but I signed up to the waiting list four months or so ago, and since then I didn’t even receive an automated “we received your registration” email, let alone an actual invitation. So.

Oh I don’t know, maybe...

Meanwhile, mac OS remains ad-free

That is exactly what you’re saying, though. “Ignore her” means “ignore whatever she’s doing.”

“Just ignore her” is the glib handwave of those who can afford to ignore her - people who are in no way affected by the harm caused by her and the people she supports and associates with.

She literally associates with and supports people who 1. went on record calling genocide on trans people, 2. associate with far-right extremists calling genocide on trans and queer people, 3. have already given up claiming that they’re actually feminist and care about women’s rights, and basically just campaign…

She may not say “lynch trans people” out like that. But you may want to learn a bit about the people she openly supports and openly associates with...

I’m Hungarian so I’m really in no position to judge other countries’ bullshit, but...

If no tips result in excessive/unreasonable price hike then people will just stop using those services and then the prices will have to go down in order to get customers again. Sure it may not happen overnight but that’s pretty much how these things work.

That prepackaged POS system has a simple check box that you can enable or disable the tip and alter the suggested tip amounts.

Until business owners are forced to pay their workers a livable wage, it’s on us. Is that unfortunate? Yes. That’s the societal structure that we have, though.

I think the difference between the LOTR & Harry Potter reboots/remakes and say, new Little Women or Sense and Sensibility adaptations is that in case of the latter they are in fact new takes on the same source material, but in case of the former they’re very clearly basing the new works off of existing adaptations.…
