It’s wild that a site with hundreds of millions of users, didn’t invest into multiple-account deletion tools.
True start-up mentality, that one.

Just shows how our “critical” social media is really just some hasty tape and bubblegum behind the scenes to keep the front from falling apart.

Local mail client (Thunderbid) -> IMAP/POP -> sync.
Once done, move to a local folder and delete from Gmail.
You can just backup the Thunderbird profile, if you want to keep the mails safe

Serving my car with 3rd party parts is stealing?

Yeah, and as the article links, this is just not about media, CDs, DVDs and games. It’s also about very physical products that we immediately associate as “owned” - like printers, phones, cars, tractors or even, (lol) trains. They’re all locked to manufacturers parts and repair services and increasingly difficult to circumvent.

Get a physical copy that doesn’t require internet activation then, assholes.

I think the point was, it is increasingly hard to find such products.
And even once you think you’ve bought such product, DRM makes sure it’s still not really yours.

There’s thousand different stats around this, but generally most analysts place consoles slightly ahead of PC with stronger growth potential, but it depends a bit where in the generation cycle they do their measurements.

Most of this has been overshadowed by mobile gaming though.

Smaller marketshare,
Pretty sure they’d release mobiile > console > PC if they could get away with it.

The PC release will be a year or so after to get people to double dip.

But at least MKBHD tried to say nice things about it in his video. He really tried.

Yes, because the last two years have been so full of fantastically good news.

Antenna Pod is 10/10.

What’s really wild is that you don’t have to go that far into the past (just ca. 20 years) when the Internet was all about Information wanting to be Free. It was hopeful time of people coming together around new technology. There were a lot new businesses with wild innovations.

And then, just in a decade it was all gone. Replaced by unregulated behemoths that merged until there’s a dirty dozen left, controlling most of global money and information.

Enshittification of the Internet.

The real problem with the internet isn’t Facebook or Twitter or Reddit, it’s the fact the entire experience is pretty much controlled by Microsoft and Google

I think the real problem is that the entire Internet is basically just a dozen multi-billion Big Tech companies and the entire “Internet economy” is so tightly weaved into advertising money.

I need Linux for my work, so it’s not really possible to switch.
I do keep a Windows machine for gaming at home though.

Right tool for the job and so on…

Mastodon has user defined word filters, you can completely mute this crap (of course people love misspelling his name).
I wish lemmy/kbin would get something similar it’s really annoying to have this fucker in my feed daily.

I see, I was wondering why a IT-Security workers were suddenly being called edgy kids. lol.

Yea, I know its the edgy kid distro

Huh?

Now do same with textiles and electronics

I guess mainly:
Activity Pub is actually official W3C standard. There are yearly conferences, development and it’s open.
That AT protocol is owned by Bluesky, they decide how it’s developed, what gets in, what goes out and to my knowledge it’s actually not implemented anywhere else (yet).
