Can I be honest? I hope the next four years are just a grift that drains a bunch of dumbasses’ bank accounts, and then everything resets. Unfortunately, I don’t think that’s going to be all that happens.

Anyone else get an obvious malware popup in this link? On iOS.

Interesting. I’ll keep an eye on it, but I do wonder if more serious photographers looking to move from IG will feel overwhelmed. First, they need to choose to go to the fediverse over something like Flickr, Foto.app, or Vero. Then, not only will they need to wrap their heads around how the fediverse works, but then also pick a platform and instance, all while leaving behind potentially thousands of followers on IG.

I think we’re hitting a point where the fediverse will be like GNU/Linux. Lots of potential, but too fragmented to get past more than a niche user base with specific priorities.

Didn’t they make a Pixelfed app? Is this different, or are they just tarting their own server with their app?

Just puked a little after reading that.

No? Huh, I could have sworn I had downloaded an APK and just assumed it was the beta. Haven’t had an Android in a year, though, so I might just be misremembering or thinking of another app.

Weird. I feel like at some point I remember it having a dark mode on one or the other. Wonder when and why it was removed.

Of course he does! It’s his brand. And his sycophants voters will back him on that. Because it’s too little too late to back out, now. Better to try to secure a spot on the boat than be pushed overboard. They’ll deny deny deny and offer alt “facts” until they’re out of breath to try to get their dry, scratchy tongues on those Oxfords (with elevators). Sadly for them, the boats already sinking, and they themselves put the holes in it so Trump could climb onboard.

As of now, the iOS app does not have a dark mode. Though, I believe the Android version does.

At this point, Donald makes Nixon look like a saint.

My wife and I were just chatting and at some point Siri got triggered on her watch. Not sure how long it was on and listening before we noticed. I don’t know, though, they probably no longer send those recording unless subsequent actions are triggered or something, so I’m not worried about it.

Yeah, this is it. There is no moderate conservative anymore. The moderate conservative has become the moderate democrat. The only way republicans win is by strangling human rights and stirring discord.

Try going into a conservative subreddit and argue for any of the things above. You’ll get downvoted to hell or even banned.

It’s slowly but surely growing. I also get more engagement there than anywhere else right now.

I mean, I am. I held out because I’m a photographer with local friends & connections that are only on Meta’s platforms. But, it’s just not worth it anymore. It’s been a long time coming, but I’ve had enough.

Yes, that is because this happened back then, but the lawsuit is finally wrapping up. They say they fixed it back then, but funnily enough this happened to me yesterday haha

Basically, Siri is regularly triggered unintentionally and sends the audio it hears to Apple, despite the voice activation having supposed to be unique to the user’s voice and specific trigger phrase/word. This has resulted in people being recorded in sensitive situations for minutes at a time without their knowledge or consent.

It’s largely reactionary. The world has seen a lot of progression in the last couple decades, but a lot of people aren’t feeling any benefits. In fact, many feel worse off because they see progressive policies as unfair to them. It’s always been a pendulum… My worry is that the pendulum seems to be swinging further to each side than we’ve seen in a long while. It’s really starting to feel like widespread unrest will give way to widespread uprising.
