Hm, what do you like about Dynamic lock screens? Wouldn't they consume more energy and add to optical overstimulation? To be honest, it's a feature that I could live without.

AI is something else, I see that as a real trend. Though there is a lot of noise right now. Simple algorithms often just claim to be AI.

Personally, I think that AI is useful when editing and managing your photos. The phone might be able to predict how you like your photos cropped, how to remove unwanted elements or which photos contain your favorite people etc.

Also, AI might predict what you want to do next on your phone and suggest the proper apps or information.

I heard of someone talking to ChatGPT on a longer car ride. He said it was a surprisingly pleasant experience. 😊

The editor, Saibal Dasgupta, seems to be a journalist located in India.

Voice of America's headquarter is in Washington though, so good question.

Yeah, I didn't doubt that.

Project Liberty's core mission focuses on decentralizing social networking through an open-source Internet protocol. This technical framework would allow users to maintain ownership of their data and potentially transfer their social connections and content across different platforms. Which is a significant departure from the current system where user data remains locked within individual platforms.

The proposed system would work similarly to email, where users can communicate across different service providers. In this vision, social media users could maintain their connections and content regardless of which platform they choose to use.

His plans sound a lot like the Fediverse

While I agree with the article and a lot of comments, I am still active on my Mastodon account and I am enjoying it more than ever.

Disclaimer: I'm a white male westerner working in IT. 😉

A friend of mine works in linguistics and education. He was an avid Twitter user and has since migrated to Bluesky and Mastodon. He says, Mastodon is quite complex and clunky but on Bluesky there's not much happening in his bubble.

For me, the quality of the conversation and the regional character of my local instance is a big plus on Madison. On Lemmy, I read a lot on international and tech topics, but on Mastodon, the conversation is related more to my countries politics and my region.

So, maybe they lost a lot of users. But the 14% that stayed are a good start for quite a vivid community.

If anyone has questions on how to get something out of Mastodon, ask away or follow me here: mateng@nrw.social.

Usually, my computers dropped in performance after around 10 years. They might contain parts that are a few years older by that time. So, to be able to use them further, I would suggest a minimum of 15 years.

Would you recommend using it with Ubuntu?

I didn't even know about these services. It's fascinating they were relevant for about ten years only. What a good read.

Both sites seem to be down by now

Even if.

Ha! F Spez.
