FB launched a social network that forces you to download an app, in 2023, the first year they could have had Push Notifications on the web on iOS.
But folks tell me they want the web to win.
Sure.

The Zuck suck is in full swing. In the few short hours since I started using #Threads, #DuckDuckGo has already blocked over 200 data tracking attempts. These include things like "headphone status" and "screen density."
EDIT for clarity: The 200+ attempts *may* have been overcounted as DDG hadn't tooled their VPN for Threads yet.

Last boost prompted me to start trying out some of the other mastodon clients for android besides Tusky. Megalodon's ui seems to be a bit more polished

You don't need to use the official Mastodon apps, they're not the best way to use Mastodon. The official apps only arrived last year, and they were intended as "Fisher Price My First Mastodon" things with a restricted set of features.
Third party apps have been around longer than official ones, and include way more features. You can sign in with the same account on all apps.
:android: On Android try Tusky, Fedilab, Megalodon, Tooot
:apple_inc: On iPhone/iPad, try Toot!, Ice Cubes, Ivory, Mona

At some point recently it just clicked for me that I'm past tired of hammering commercial social media sites into usable shape with ad blockers and other cosmetic browser plugins.
The only thing that fully meets that standard for me right now is mastodon. Tumblr fails, but I can deal because the only way it has gotten markedly worse lately is with the addition of tumblr live, which is easy to block and garners a LITTLE respect from me for probably being a money laundering scheme

I don't actually consider myself a huge partisan for mastodon but it's hard for me to talk about any other social media site except for tumblr, sort of, without coming off that way

Hypothesis: The Fediverse consists almost entirely of adults.
I expect most youths are drawn to the large corporate social networks; but those of us who took the effort to come here have likely experienced the Internet before most of those existed.
Of course, the only way to test this is by collecting data using the most scientifically rigorous method available to me: a Mastodon poll, lol
(I expect this will only reach English-speaking Fedi, but do boost if you're able)

Imagine having the complete scripts (game code) of all Sierra On-Line games that use the SCI engine published between 1988 and 1996 fully decompiled, human-readable and annotated.
Yes. 100% of the scripts. 100% of the games. 100% made public.
Our SCI mastermind sluicebox did it again!
If you want to learn about the full story, ranging from a deep-dive into the code and tales about the history of Sierra's script language and previous reverse engineering efforts, check out

Results from this poll: With ~620 respondents,
66% are opposed or alarmed to "Threads" [Instagram] joining Mastodon/Fediverse.
85% are supportive or indifferent to Tumblr doing the same.
Here's why I made this poll:
It seems odd at first the Fediverse is all about connecting platforms but its users are so vehemently opposed to "Threads".
What this poll implies is Mastoverse users are *not* opposed to corporate presence in the Fediverse. This is a trust issue with Facebook *specifically*.

It's an endless parade of totally workable systems covered in knee-deep layers of React-scented manure, spread thick on the back of arguments about agility (for screens don't actually change that much) and "performance" (they aren't measured, and when they are, turn out to be much much slower).
Do we need clawback clauses in frontend engineer contracts for UX degredation?

Just really, existentially sad about the state of frontend today. So much unearned self-confidence, so little attention to the user. The chest-thumping privilege of born-on-third-basers making systems worse for those who weren't.
