So glad I didn’t actually go through with opening a Yotta account. Maybe it’s not them directly that screwed everything up, but their money (their customer’s money) just went poof.

The finance system is sketchy enough, Fintech gives me the willies.

God I hate Take Two.

♥️ winget my beloved ♥️

Well this is Interesting.

Video storage and bandwidth is probably my most pressing concern, but that’s the same as with peertube, no?

Speaking of which, are they going to consult with PeerTube for cross compatibility?

He really got that dawg in him

Expecting FaceDeer to not glaze AI is like expecting the sun to not rise.

Christ on a fucking bike. Sometimes I forget how vile Blizzard was (is) run. How the fuck do they have any employees at this point??

On the low end, yearly OS upgrade compliance.

On the high end, dealing with the Kafkaesque whims of the App and Play stores randomly deciding to nuke your app (and thus business) from orbit as an “oopsie”

Clearly you haven’t dealt with a Mastodon instance having a major defederation event.

For most users, regardless of the validity of the defed, the user experience is terrible. Their social graph just suddenly, stops working, the people they follow can no longer see their posts, all because of the actions of a few bad actors or administration failures.

This paired with the fact that maybe only Firefish or Misskey lets you (mostly) seamlessly migrate to a new instance with your data intact, and the lack of a standard way to see what followers you will actually keep when you migrate, means that the defederation experience is sucks, and migrating to a different instance to escape that is a pain in the ass.

Meta has already shown it has piss poor moderation in the best of times, and actively boosts incendiary content in the worst of times, all while collecting, profiling, and exploiting your data. It’s literally inevitable that they’re going to break the rules of all but the free-est of free speech Instances, so for the privacy, safety, and headaches of everyone in the fediverse, we might as well save ourselves the trouble.**

This has gotta be the stupidest (and honestly ugliest) alternative to Reddit awards.

Thanks for the crudely gold-colored-brass up vote, kind stranger.

404 sprang up from ex-Motherboard writers when Vice Media went bankrupt this year. I think their articles are alright, because paying the bills as a journalist is very hard.

Dark Brandon is Awake.

I wish he was around more often than Sleepy Joe. 😔

Scale that up to a 4 ton production-ready consumer vehicle without introducing defects, I imagine

Bold move Cotton…but idk how many more “bold” moves he can afford.

Oh cool, another DRM on top of Origin to ruin my games

Why can’t you be more like Blizzard, EA? (Can’t believe I wrote that sentence)

Well, TF|2 just got a flurry of fixes and activity recently, so they seem to be eying the market for potential future titles

FaceDeer stop being an inhuman techbro about ai for 5 minutes challenge

It technically has a seekbar, but it’s very hard to find and/or might be obscured by their capricious A/B randomized testing
