Mastodon has protocol level issues that prevent it from being fully mainstream though.

As long as people move out of Twitter, I count it as a win. Especially when we get official government stuff out of there - which won’t happen for the US, but the rest of us have a chance

Twitter started dying when they closed the API

Bluesky’s is perfectly operational

The problem with matter is that EVERY update to a device must be certified and that costs money.

So brands are sticking with the proprietary hub model so they can iterate faster

Age no, experience, lots and lots.

There is a difference between 40 and 44 year olds and 19 and 15 year olds besides the mathematical age gap, dude.

They weren’t just random Russians, they were working for companies under sanctions.

What were they supposed to do? Ignore the sanctions?

Any game in that genre combined with local and remote multiplayer would be a hit

A Mac is not a Windows PC

The last time I turned off my Mac Mini was when we moved. The time before that was when my UPS battery died and I had to swap a new one in.

I do reboot it though, but why would I bother turning it off?

The previous model has it in the back, you can’t even feel it properly because it’s not recessed.

On the other hand the last time I turned off my M1 mini was when we moved. It’s 100% silent and takes less power than a lightbulb when it sleeps, so why would I bother powering it off.

You can get cheaper options with 10G nics in the same form factor

But usually the retention departments have the most leeway to give you discounts 😀

Just call and threaten to cancel and suddenly you get 50% off for 6 months or something.

(Works very well with Audible, the further you go in the cancel flow on the website, the bigger discounts you get - you can repeat the “I quit” threat about once a year.)

 

I’ve been doing POSSE for a while now and it had helped me immensely by saving time and stress.

Basically every time I post something on a 3rd party site I store the content locally. Currently only in Obsidian and some locally cached videos and articles (TubeArchivist and Raindrop)

When I get dragged to the same argument or topic again, I can just grab my old comment, maybe edit/update it a bit and post it.

For some stuff I have longer blog posts I can link to, for some they are images and graphs.
