Why would it be an n-turn? The n shape suggests you back up before turning. The capital U asserts that you simply turn. That’s how I’ve always done it.

Today in Montreal it was beautiful and blue and fresh. I hope it stays that way. I want to keep my lungs and our forests.

Man this defediverse stuff gets tiring

I should try that. Skip the hours of grinding. It always felt like cheating, but it would let you really focus on the design.

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

This was just a groundbreaking game. I know the graphics aren’t as nice as Skyrim, but the world has more depth and the guilds are all full games in themselves.

Such a big open world, fully populated with flora and mystical fauna (Minotaurs and unicorns), an endless supply of side-quests.

Oblivion destroys Skyrim in the following places:

• Much more interesting and in-depth Thieves Guild, Assassin’s Guild, Fighter’s Guild, and Mage’s Guild.
• Being a vampire is infinitely better than being a goddamn werewolf
• Skyrim leans too heavily for the Nord race, while Oblivion’s story leaves race selection more open-ended. I always want to be an Argonian but it felt weird to be an Argonian in Skyrim.

Cable costs more than that and still gives you tons of ads. I’m fine with the price.

I use Podcast Addict on Android (both phone and tablet) and it’s excellent. I’m using the paid version so it’s ad-free. It has a good set of widgets too. Five stars.

I used to use Podkicker Pro, but the paid version started showing ads. So I switched to Podcast Addict Pro and it’s excellent.

Yeah they’re not perfectly synchronized but I can interact across platforms and instances.

How would it benefit BigSocial to spread us out among instances?

No, we shouldn’t just passively observe the experiment either fail or succeed by its own pre-existing state. We should actively engineer our behavior and connections to avoid the slimey tentacles of corporate manipulation.

And that’s why we need to constantly remind ourselves to spread out while staying connected (the precise function of federation)

Good point. Defederation is one of my biggest concerns about the fediverse.

What would be the benefit of a single user instance?
I guess you’d really control your data.
You could do a magazine as your own personal blog.
And you could still post to any instance you want.

YouTube is great, but I prefer reading the review so I can skim more easily.

How can apps made by small teams or even a single person be better optimized than one supposedly made by a larger team with a larger development budget?

Bloat!

Well I’d like to see a lot more people here. I hope there’s something to keep people coming after the Reddit hate wears off. I just want to see social media spread to more platforms generally, and it looks like that’s beginning to happen. I’d like it to continue!

Okay, so I guess sh.itjust.works is defederated, and I should join an instance that plays along.

@nydas @DamnCatOnMyDesk

@DamnCatOnMyDesk Are you sure that people can actually send messages between apps? I mean, for example, between lemmy and kbin and mastodon?

It seems rather like kbin users can view stuff from other instances and instances of other apps but any comments or messages are saved in your instance as comments on posts of other instances. People on the receiving instance can’t see your posts or messages.

Please correct me if I’m wrong. But this is what I’ve noticed.

EDIT: I just commented on a lemmy post, and then went to rhe actual lemmy site and saw the post. So I guess I was wrong, and people can actually post between apps. Which is honestly amazing.
