Wake me up when they finally bring up the UI to modern standards

Saying it works is very generous.

Honestly if anyone gives them their money at this point. That’s on them.

Its the absolute lack of algorithm. No, really. I know Mastodon toots it as a feature, but without an algorithm to keep people scrolling most people just close the app and do something else. People who don’t understand instances would just go to mastodon.social anyway, but since no mastodon instance is actively trying to keep its users engaged 24/7, people naturally realize they have better things to do than to use social media all say.

Which is better for humanity, but bad for retention.

Stalinism is when thing bad.

Wait I haven’t been keeping up since the ui refresh. What are they doing

One day we’ll get VLC 4.

The only issue for Firefox’s translator currently is the time it takes to load at first, or the fact you have to download each model first. Its not some monumental task, but it does have more friction than Google’s “automatically send the site you are browsing to our server”

This is actually one of the few cases where it makes sense. Its for alt-text for people who browse with TTS

No

Isn’t it cause its the handle of the main dev?

Don’t forget Plants vs Zombies 2. Which despite some micro transactions, definitely held up in its early days. Rather, I’d say it got do either dirty from balancing issues rather than greed.

Does it have the option of using TPM to unlock a LUKS2 encrypted partition like the previous betas? Or was that dropped?

And also the maintainers being too trusting. They openly discussed pirate ROMs in the server and such.

It really has been almost 20 years huh

It would be pretty useless as it is. Even for them. Federation only really mattered for a few people (us), most of their userbase doesn’t care or know so its not like it was meant to be a hook to lead them in.

This seems like a rather really hyeprspecific use case than “the reason platforms like Matrix don’t get as much traction as Discord”.

The official instantce, meet.jit.si, now requires an account to be made through Google, Facebook or Apple (for the host). Community hosted instances still allow anonymous meetings but may not have all the features in the main instance (since some require hosting other services, like etherpad and excalidraw)
