<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://shumai.xyz/@mookie" class="u-url mention">@<span>mookie</span></a></span> yeah, it&#39;s definitely a problem with zealot attitudes on Mastodon, &quot;reply guys&quot; giving their anti-opinion on everything that isn&#39;t Mastodon for social networking, it gets tiring to read</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux" class="u-url mention">@<span>gamingonlinux</span></a></span> People can be so judgmental on here.</p>

<p>Seriously. Every single time lmao, Mastodon is like clockwork, people will jump into messages about how they hate whatever it is I mention I&#39;m on elsewhere, how it&#39;s terrible and so on.</p><p>Look: I genuinely don&#39;t care. I have always been on multiple social networks. I&#39;m giving you options, not telling you to use anything, and this Mastodon account is clearly not going anywhere.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux" class="u-url mention">@<span>gamingonlinux</span></a></span> a few days ago the first great update was published. it is a major improvement and a great game now :)<br />Everyone should play it</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux" class="u-url mention">@<span>gamingonlinux</span></a></span> I strongly recommend filing a bug report, as that&#39;s not normally an issue and should be looked into as if you&#39;re having issues others might be too.</p><p>I just tried it on my mastodon.social test account and didn&#39;t see an issue (I already make extensive use of them on this account, the instance for which runs stock Mastodon 4.2)</p><p>You&#39;re probably going to be flamed to high heaven for recommending the corporately owned Bluesky to Mastodon users. I... must admit to being sympathetic with that view but will avoid flaming you over it ;-)</p><p>What I will say though is that I feel like nobody learns any lessons any more. We&#39;ve seen what happens with social networks owned by the millionaire/billionaire tech cabal.</p><p>Bluesky is that, run by people appointed originally by an admirer of Elon Musk&#39;s approach to social media and funded in part by crypto money. It uses an unproven protocol to prove its decentralized bona fides (and I&#39;m glad it&#39;s making the effort) but that protocol has at least one choke point, the Relays, which can only ever be corporately owned, and there&#39;s no incentive to run relays. (By comparison you can run a complete Mastodon instance on a $50 Raspberry Pi hooked up to a $50 1Tb USB external SSD, all in your closet gatewayed via a $1/mo VPS and $10/year domain name, and that&#39;ll serve an entire family&#39;s social networking needs. I&#39;m not recommending anyone do that, but the fact it&#39;s possible means this will always be our network, not Musk&#39;s, not Zuckerberg&#39;s, not cryptobros, our&#39;s.)</p><p>We need to focus on making the activitypub based fediverse more accessible and implement those features that are still missing.</p><p>I&#39;m really against encouraging those here to leave until Bluesky proves its federation model is viable. Twitter (RIP), Reddit, even Wordpress, Medium, Multiply have all proven that handing your private life over to a corporate third party is a very, very, bad idea.</p>

Last time I checked SDKs like that don&#39;t need a rootkit.</p>

<p>In the Philippines, football is not very popular. <br />Due to the scarcity of football fields and high rental costs, football is perceived as a &quot;sport for the rich&quot; in Metro Manila. But the oldest football team is in Iloilo and it&#39;s where Paulino Alcantara was born.</p><p>I know basketball is more popular in the country. <br />But Brazilian kids play football anywhere while wearing slippers, so Filipinos have no excuse--we are maybe just not as creative as Brazilians in playing football?</p>

<p>Speaking as someone living in Hungary, to friends in the <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>USA</span></a>:</p><p>The greatest weapon the system has is outrage fatigue. Doing so many unimaginable things at the same time that people just sigh and go on. Having so many things to protest that you run out of days and hours. Piling on so you start focusing on surviving with your bare mental health day to day.</p><p>Pick your cause and stick to it. Support others who focus on different causes. Don&#39;t try to do everything at once.</p>

<p>There&#39;s the added issue that that kind of labeling error is probably already in the data set (eg, lemon vs organic lemon). So the ground truth is already a bit broken. One assumes they already factor that into the prices, though, so that may not be an added burden.</p>
