But do tell me, without data, how much better the "DX" is and why that inevitably leads to a better user experience.

Facebook is not stopping the release of Threads in the EU (only) because of lack of GDPR compliance, because after all that’s not how it works, they’re doing so in an attempt to punish the EU for having the temerity to regulate them and are hoping to induce FOMO in a society that is openly worried about falling behind in innovation.

This will not work.

A really annoying dark pattern I see over and over:

- start using an app or service
- agree to receive notifications such as “your car is here” or “someone replied to you”
- time passes
- app or service starts abusing notifications to get me to engage via promotions or even plain advertising

Often my easiest recourse there is to turn off the app’s notification privileges.

Abusive, short-sighted, and dumb. You’re never getting that permission back.

PSA: If you are new to Mastodon, may I humbly suggest — try to fill out your profile before following a whole bunch of people!

I like to follow back people who seem interesting, and I can’t do that if I know nothing about you. 😉

Get yourself more followers, and improve our feeds with your presence!

Peace✌️

If a little voice ever says to you “what if you stopped being artificially polite and just told people on social media what you think, and mirroring their attitude and tone back to them, for a day?” you should drink until the voice goes away.

@AbandonedAmerica
Yeah, figured you'd get the joke. It's how I manage tension.

To contribute, I think there's things people can do to foster discussion.

1. Take toots at face value.
2. Don't insert logic/arguments into other's words.
3. Ask a question; don't insinuate intent.
3.a. If you didn't start the thread, ask questions, don't hijack.
4. Walk away; you won't convince someone they're "wrong".
4.a. If the thread is hating/punching down, block, mute, name-and-shame and report the bugger.

I have listened to these 2 podcast episodes about Mastodon.

One with @Gargron and one with @jerry

As one of the interviewers said, it has been a long time since something on the internet made me smile.

an interesting detail about a possible ongoing crime:

‘the unredacted affidavit also noted that between May 24, 2022, and June 1, 2022, Mr. Nauta took 64 boxes out of the storage room at Mar-a-Lago but put back only 25 or 30 of them… “The current location of the boxes removed from the storage room but not returned to it is unknown,” the affidavit said.’

‘The allegations include claims that Nauta discovered that several boxes in a storage room at Mar-a-Lago had fallen, spilling classified documents, and photographed the mess that allegedly included documents restricted to the “Five Eyes” western intelligence alliance.’

You see bridges. We see Europe.

Cohesion funds are helping European regions and communities get closer, one masterpiece at a time:

- The Brăila Bridge, inaugurated today in #Romania, is the largest bridge over the Danube and Europe's third-longest.

- The new Świnoujście Tunnel in #Poland is the longest EU-funded underwater tunnel at 1,440 metres in length.

Funded 85% by the #EU, they show what #Europe can achieve.
