I’m definitely curious. Browser-switching is annoyingly mentally difficult, though. I keep bouncing between Arc and Firefox, so maybe this is the perfect marriage.

No but when I tried to change Mastodon servers, I was frustrated to learn that I could carry over my followers but nothing else. The platform highlighted “easy mobility,” but I found that to be misleading.

I think the biggest problem that Mastodon et. al need to solve is changing servers/accounts. There needs to be an easy way to move servers while retaining past posts, etc.

I can agree with this. Or pirating old games that aren’t available through GOG, Steam, etc. Like if I want to play Battletoads, I don’t have many options…

I feel like the “pirate everything” mindset focuses on shitty corporations but ignores that paying for media also helps the creators pay their rent.

The fact that our economic system requires never-ending growth to remain solvent is so crazy to me. And somehow many of the serious economists don’t see an issue with this.

Back in 2009, we banned all flavored cigarettes, but there was a specific exception for menthol.

Even better: let’s create an economic system that doesn’t require endless population growth

Obviously not trying to downplay this HUGE humanitarian crisis in Gaza, but why does media/politics always frame these things like adult men aren’t victims also?

Hopefully it’s not a deeper issue with the plane design, but Boeing really can’t catch a break with this model.

Clearly they do care though. Look at all of the earnest replies to his posts! If folks didn’t care, they would say as much.

That’s fine, but we need to just admit that and stop trying to get the big users to stay by sheer force of will. Either give them the tools they need or accept that Mastodon isn’t for them and that they’ll go elsewhere. You can’t have it both ways.

I follow him on Mastodon, and I think many regular users misunderstand his specific problems. They’re unique due to his huge number of followers, and I think that if we want Mastodon to grow, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to include more tools for folks with large followings.

If you’re looking for a free alternative, check out how to use Markdown files. Obsidian is a popular (but not open-source) program. The beautiful of .md is that it’s plain text and can be easily imported into a variety of applications, including a simple text editor like Notepad. Here’s a good overview video.

Call anyway! If they don’t feel pressure from their electorate, then they definitely won’t change their stances.

The folks who run the archive website have some weird vendetta against Cloudflare.

Next week: Google is closing down its traffic light program. It’s Mad Max on the roads now.

Have you tried Swiftfin? It’s 3rd party open source. I find it works much better than the official Jellyfin app.

Yeah agreed. For oral meds, I always ask for the real pseudoephedrine behind the counter.

According to the article, they’re only discussing the oral medication. Apparently the metabolism process means that almost no phenylephrine gets into the bloodstream when taking orally.
