Dlaczego. Dlaczego to jest iPad

Yes, the first wave of Fediverse adoption came from people looking for a Twitter replacement.

But the next wave of adoption is going to come from an ecosystem of apps.

Why?

Because some of those Twitter migrants were developers.

And once they played around with the code, they all remembered how nice it is to build something on an open protocol.

This meeting could have been a nap

Please don’t confuse what is legal with what is right. There is some overlap, of course, but not as much as one might think. Laws are generally written by the rich and powerful to protect their interests, often at the expense of the poor and weak. Many atrocities are lawful, and many acts of mercy are unlawful. I say this as an attorney.

Finally figured out how to succinctly describe what’s gone wrong with Google Search: They focused so hard on figuring out the *one* single most relevant thing to your query that it just tries to find *that* thing, to the exclusion of anything else.

If you’re lucky, your results will be: (1) ad, (2) thing you want, (3) basically a copy of the thing you want, (4) another copy, etc.

You can’t easily find all the possibilities for a category. So you can’t use it to really explore a topic in breadth anymore. You can’t find variations on a theme.

It’s like if you asked the server at a restaurant for the menu, and instead of giving you one with all the options, they instead look you over, decide you want a hamburger, and when you ask for options just give you the same hamburger with slight tweaks.

I remember trying to buy a TV that does not have "smart" functionality a few years ago. It was a chore. Today it seems nigh-impossible.

And not just TVs: ovens; refrigerators; dishwashers — all have "smart" options. In fact, it seems that more and more the available non-smart models are only the simpler ones, less performant in ways that are not related to any smart functionality missing.

My non-smart TV was available only with lower resolutions than "smart" models of the same brand.

#IoT

The Twitter API lockout of third-party apps is only the latest reminder of centralization's most important rule: The platform owner has the right to capriciously wreck the businesses of people who accepted the platform's invitation to run a business on the platform.

The countdown has begun!⏳

@yuvipanda Every time I use Windows, I find it respects your autonomy and intelligence less.

Moja zmywarka na tryb nocny, według producenta jest to tryb zapewniający niższy hałas, przy optymalnej jakości czyszczenie. Faktycznie jakby nieco ciszej, ale po skończonej pracy tak samo głośno daje znać że ma fajrant... Przecież to aż prosi się o wyciszenie

If you replace "No" with "Maybe Later" in a dialog box of *any* sort, please *please* spend a few minutes understanding how consent works.

Turning off your feelings feels like a neat little PTSD life hack until you realise that you can't turn them back on again so easily

I spent WAAAAAY too much time making this.
