  • Plex is overhauling its apps with a redesign and under-the-hood upgrades

    Jump

  • Can you elaborate on how it's poor in that regard? That's how I and many of my friends use it, and none of us have had any issues relating to that.

  • Now normal people have a microblogging platform where they aren't constantly having fascist propaganda shoved down their throats.

  • Community-based platforms aren't receiving as much attention because while Reddit is getting worse and worse, it has not reached the level of enshittification Twitter is at. Most people are still going to keep using it. Twitter on the other hand is reaching the point where huge amount of people are leaving, making alternative microblog platforms very relevant.

  • They aren't being ignored. Bluesky has real moderation, they are being banned.

  • A lot of the big accounts I follow have been reporting a huge loss in followers on Twitter and an even larger influx of followers on Bluesky.

  • Bluesky adds 700,000 new users in a week / A ‘majority' of the new users are from the US, indicating that people are searching for a new platform as an alternative to X.

  • I understand. I wasn't disagreeing that it's an upside of Mastodon, just clarifying for anyone who doesn't know.

  • If you can't decide, then you can just use the flagship instance, mastodon.social.

  • It doesn't need to be, as long as there is also a proper default for those who don't care. Lemmy and Mastodon both unfortunately lacked this during the periods where they both had the most opportunity to grow.

    Nowadays Mastodon does it pretty well. Users don't need to know anything, they just download Mastodon from the app store and register on the instance it chooses by default.

  • I just opened BlueSky to see how many people I followed using their own PDS instance and the fourth post in my feed was from someone using one, and the 7th was from Washington Post who also uses their own.

  • Bluesky does have federation, it's not at the level of Mastodon's, but it's improving. You can host a personal data server, which lets you host your account from your own server. You do still access this account through the main BlueSky website and apps, but authentication is done through your own server.

  • Also, a Bluesky and Mastodon user, although I use Mastodon significantly more. Both have upsides and downsides. Mastodon's onboarding experience has improved, but it's still worse than Bluesky's. Also, the fact that Mastodon doesn't federate likes is honestly very strange. It makes the platform look dead at first glance, which really hurts first impressions.

    I still prefer Mastodon, federation is great and I've had an easier time finding people to follow there. Bluesky's feature of following community made feeds is really cool though.

  • Is Python's tooling incredibly difficult, or am I just stupid?

    Jump

  • Yeah the tooling sucks. The only tooling I've liked is Poetry, I never have trouble installing or packaging the apps that use it.

  • Guy makes “dodgy e-bike” from 130 used vapes to make point about e-waste

    Jump

  • I know quite a few people that have quit through vaping, and even if they hadn't, vapes are definitely better for their health than cigarettes.

  • Guy makes “dodgy e-bike” from 130 used vapes to make point about e-waste

    Jump

  • They make vape cartridges that are used with a reusable battery. If disposable vapes were banned, they would become the more common option which is definitely better.

  • The CLI is good, but it's need to be stabilized. The CLI you're describing is the version 3 CLI, but there are still use-cases where you need to use the version 2 CLI.

    Jump

  • They've been focused on privacy for 10 years, before it was nearly as marketable.

  • This is a weird thread. Lots of complaints about lock in and companies managing your keys, both of which are easily avoidable, the exact same way you'd do so with your passwords.
