- Comment on X's idiocy is doing wonders for Bluesky. 4 weeks ago:
At least Blue Sky supports community block lists. You can block every nazi with the click of a button
- Comment on Mozilla faces a privacy complaint over Firefox's tracking 1 month ago:
There’s so many anti-Mozilla people on Lemmy it’s crazy. I’m getting downvotes in other threads in this community for pointing out that all the anti-Mozilla FUD has amounted to nothing of substance.
- Comment on It's coming! :( 1 month ago:
Nothing. People have been memeing about it’s death for 10 years.
- Comment on Tumblr to move its half a billion blogs to WordPress 2 months ago:
Tumblr announced they were gonna integrate with ActivityPub years ago. It’s been silence on the topic since then, hopefully this move to Wordpress is a step towards joining the Fediverse.
The link to the original TechCrunch article doesn’t seem to be working, but here’s a mirror on Slashdot: m.slashdot.org/story/407458
- Comment on Gearbox founder says Epic Games Store hopes were “misplaced or overly optimistic” 2 months ago:
The hotdog vendor keeps going on about how he’s the good guy because he pays more to the sausage suppliers. As if that’s at all relevant to his customers.
- Comment on Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 has been delayed again, this time until the first half of 2025 2 months ago:
This is at least the second attempt to make VTMB2. The original version by Hardsuit Labs was entirely scrapped and restarted at The Chinese Room.
I spoke to the new devs at PAX last year and they said they were only reusing a few assets from the Hardsuit Labs version and otherwise completely making a new game from scratch.
This new version has only been publicly announced since late 2023, although it probably started development sometime in late 2021/early 2022.
- Comment on 23 and me 2 months ago:
That’s the one everyone talks about. The ANH kiss is on the cheek, which is totally normal in many cultures.
- Comment on Firefox Sidebar and Vertical tabs: try them out in Nightly Firefox Labs 131 – Firefox Nightly News 3 months ago:
Nightly is aimed at developers. I’m sure there will be an article with pictures once it’s closer to release.
- Comment on What app+hardware package is most comparable to iCloud Photos in regard to speed and features? 3 months ago:
You’re not gonna find a self hosted solution as good as iCloud Photos, at least not yet. As a stop gap you can turn on advanced data protection on iCloud to significantly improve your privacy.

David S Pumpkins strikes again!

- Comment on Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining 6 months ago:
CS2 is Counter Strike 2. Cities: Skylines 2 is C:S2
- Comment on Oh, Zot! Nomadic Identity is Coming to ActivityPub 8 months ago:
This is great! Account portability is one of the biggest reasons BlueSky gave for developing ATProto instead of using ActivityPub. This could be a way of getting them to switch to the standard and expand the fediverse in the process.
- Comment on Tear Down Walls, and Build Bridges 9 months ago:
Not entirely sure what you mean by that. It deletes posts in the same way that any other ActivityPub server does, by federating the deletion request.
It’s up to the receiving servers to handle that request and delete the post. You can easily have an ActivityPub native server that doesn’t honor those requests.
- Comment on Tear Down Walls, and Build Bridges 9 months ago:
Bridgy doesn’t scrape anything. It works the same as any other ActivityPub instance, the only difference is that it converts some JSON from one format to another.
It also converts edit and deletion events, so in your scenario it would relay that you want your poem or photo deleted.
This isn’t a web scrapper that reposts content like all the bots reposting Reddit threads to Lemmy. This is a protocol translator between federated networks that speak different languages.
- Comment on Tear Down Walls, and Build Bridges 9 months ago:
That’s exactly the point. Isolationists instances can always defederate bridges if they don’t like them. This outrage is them imposing their will on the rest of the fediverse.
- Comment on Tear Down Walls, and Build Bridges 9 months ago:
This insane isolationism from the vocal minority will kill ActivityPub. The fact that the author is now backing down and switching to an opt-in system is infuriating. Makes want to fork the project and host a copy of the bridge that’s opt-out.
- Comment on Instances in the free fediverses should consider "transitive defederation" from instances that federate with Meta 10 months ago:
The good news is that none of the large instances are going for these insane policies. Small instances and solo instances can defederate themselves into irrelevance all they want, just like beehaw did.
- Comment on YouTube forcing users to enable 'Watch history' to show video recommendations 1 year ago:
Google constantly does this unethical bundling of features with privacy switches. I remember when I used to use Android that turning off Location History meant you couldn’t save your home and work address on Google Maps.
- Comment on Google throws its weight behind yet another messaging standard 1 year ago:
Unless I’m missing something, this isn’t a messaging standard like RCS or XMPP. This is just a way to do E2EE messaging. Just like Signal and Whatsapp both use the Signal protocol for E2EE messaging but are completely siloed networks, MLS would be much the same.
