I’ve been on Pixelfed for a long while and never did I ever think “If I follow someone, I want to see their text-only posts.” Why? Because it’s an image sharing platform. It’s specifically designed to show images and that’s fine with me.

I feel like this article is trying to stir up some controversy where there isn’t any.

Thanks for reading and for the feedback!

My goal with the series is to start small and make it digestible for people to see they can make simple changes that make big results. I 100% agree there’s hurdles and more points to make, which is why I decided to write it as a series.

The goals I have is to show we don’t need to be dependent on the apps themselves, alternatives exist (fediverse, RSS, etc), and yes AdBlockers and recognizing dark patterns. To me, it’s a slow burn for people to see the way they hate the way things are can be changed, but IMO it has to be presented in pieces that don’t feel like a massive overhaul.

If anyone is looking for a great wallpaper app that supports a good company, Wallaroo from Icon Factory is absolutely fantastic and supports good devs that have made great software for a long time.

Hockey and the NHL is amazing. Welcome to the club! Oh, and Go Isles!!!

Great book and series!!

Until Jellyfin is as easy to use for Normals AND it has an actual appleTV app, it’s a nonstarter for me.

Plex is enforcing a change they announced months ago and ONLY requires the server owner to have plex pass which you should already because it’s absolutely worth it. Now, if they made it that my mom and friends and everyone else I share to needed a pass, that’s a different story.

Supporting plex with a pass makes sense. The software is stable and constantly worked on (regardless if you like the changes or not) so Pass is worth it for the features it unlocks.

Jellyfin is great for single users watching on non-Apple hardware in their own home. For me (and I suspect many others) I’m not jumping ship unless Jellyfin either significantly improves on what I need or Plex enshittifies to a point where it’s untenable.

So, so good.

SG was during the era of “American military exceptionalism”, which was common at the time and we were the good guys with morals & high standards. The whole point of the team was to do good and fight against the exploitation of other worlds. The perception of the military is much different now and I think it would be more of an exploration show that’s not military based.

Not only the creators of SG-1, but Roland and Dean who created the freaking movie too!! It’s bananas that everyone involved with ALL aspects of SG are aboard this new endeavor. Let’s go!!

AFAIK Anubis is a bot checker and not a caching service.

Just finished The Girl Who Could Move Shit With Her Mind by Jackson Ford.

Was a fun read. Nothing too spectacular but was nice to get close to EoY and knock out a 400-pager. I’m so excited to see my StoryGraph stats at the end of the year!

Thanks! Yeah, I was JUST about to pull the trigger on it, waited a couple of weeks, and then this “Plus” version came out and on a discount. Was a bit more than I wanted to spend, but worth it to future proof.

It is worth noting that due to the challenges associated with tariffs in the US, this time, the #Plushtodon will only be available in Europe.

Guess I’m SOL. 😒

Not sure why it’s not working for me, but it only finds 19 books when I’ve read 179. Tried a few times, but no dice. Hopefully it’ll improve. Would love to see this work with StoryGraph.

66 I think has replays on its paid tier.

RIP legend. StreamEast got me through 3 hockey seasons with little to no issues.

I’ve said it so many times: Offer me a legal season-long package for ONE team that includes all games priced around $100 and I’d instantly sign up. I don’t want to jackass around with blackouts, 6 different apps / subscriptions, or pay an insanely-high amount of money to watch the whole league when I just want to follow my team.

Hey remember the time Republicans complained about the same thing, so Google built a system they could use to bypass spam filters, but no Republicans used it, so Google shut the program down?

Pepperidge Farm remembers. RNC sued Google for filtering spam but never used Gmail tool that bypasses filter

Full unsupervised robotaxi while your car makes money for you as you sleep, in 6-months. Pinky promise.

Yup. Spent about 1.5 seconds on that site before closing it out.

Stopped reading as soon as I saw an AI image for the article.
