This is silly. The web is not in decline and Google is not at fault. Most of the web is garbage, and Google helps us find the information buried in a sea of ads and repetitively copied/reworded content. We are moving to a world where putting up a plagiarized page with tons of ads will not be profitable. The sooner that day arrives, the better.

How is nostr promoting crypto?

Nostr is ultimately the way forward and he knows it. Nobody controlling your identity other than yourself.

Do we know they are monitoring our usage of the launcher?

I think Mlem lets you go directly to reader mode.

It’s this kind of nonsense that always makes me run back to my iPhone.

My take on it is that the Republicans will do their best to drag this out until the election. No compromising or middle ground. Just make it out to be the crazy Democrats fault. This stuff gets to be very predictable after all these years.

Just wait till the first security vulnerability are discovered in the code that now will be able to run on iOS and which Apple can’t control directly. Nobody will remember that the cause was forcing Apple to open up their system. They will just blame Apple.

No I got confused. I was referring to sync on Android which can summarize posts using AI. For some reason I had it in my head that it was Bean.

I had a light camera. It was very good but it needed more cameras.

Yeah, let’s defederate from a major player that wants to participate in the decentralized nature of this protocol. That way we further fragment Mastodon and guarantee its failure in the long run! Good call!!!

I see bean got some updates.

So far I am very impressed with beeper. I cant find anything that does not work well.

Oh, the whole sheep argument is silly. iMessage is better than RCS, and I don’t blame any Apple user for wanting to stay within iMessage if possible. It’s not Apple’s fault that Google took forever to get their act together in the messaging space.

Yeah I speak Spanish. I was wondering how you knew I spoke Spanish. :-)

En general, yo trato de probarlos todos, pero casi siempre uno descubre que hay unos cuantos que son los ganadores y el resto es más de lo mismo.

My problem with mastodon is the same one I have with Twitter. It’s very easy to get up and running. You can get a feed filled with nonsense to read but if you’re actually interested in any topic, it’s really hard to get a feed that matches your interest. 

True, but most other Lemmy apps, give you the option to just automatically open the article in Reeder mode. 

The fact is that with iMessage it’s pretty obvious that you and the recipients of a message are in a private conversation whose contents is only visible to the participants. With RCS it is not crystal clear. That is an Apple advantage and I see no reason they should give that up. Google likes collecting all that meta data about a conversation. Unlike apple they directly or indirectly sell that data.

Yeah I got you. I guess I agree with you. For something current and local Twitter was your best bet. I just think it’s much more about consumption than getting anybody’s voice heard. This is especially true of X. The platform is there mainly for people with an existing large audience to get their message amplified. It’s not there to get the smartest or most interesting voices heard.
