In my memory people considered them meh at best but I had some fun. I remember the DS version in particular being pretty dope.
- Comment on New piefed feature , anyone can subscribe to any post or comment (piefed is a reddit and lemmy alternative) 6 months ago:
Love to see unique features for piefed. So many different ways to tackle “threadiverse” as a project and I think we’re all better off with some experimentation

Seems like it’s less a problem with pixelfed and more an issue with pixelfed.social?
- Comment on Are there any innovative platforms in the Fediverse? 6 months ago:
The major difference is that it’s modular. So you can pick and choose which traditional social network features you want to use.

Regarding Sup: dansup has mentioned that he’s put the project on hold until the new EU guidelines around interoperability (targeting whatsapp) are available.

There are a couple of prpeertube creators that make short form content
- Comment on Pixelfed introduces Loops, a Short-Form Video App 8 months ago:
I think it’s worth considering a model where one might be expected to provide hosting for their own video. Certainly not necessary now but probably will be if/when video on fedi takes off

- Comment on The playground schematic analogy for designing a fediverse service. 8 months ago:
It’s normal that there will be forks and alternatives
This is not the sentiment you tend to express in direct response to these forks and alternatives. Thinking specifically about your activity in the sublinks announcement posts.
- Comment on there's laundry to do and a genocide to stop 8 months ago:
Biden is the fascist from the other party.
Biden is in no way, shape, or form a fascist. Particularly in the context of a Trump ascendancy.

There’s an interesting aspect of this that I have not seen mentioned yet. While this is true you are usually better off using your residential heater rather than an electric space heater because residential heaters are frequently over 100% efficient. That is, they deliver more heat for the energy expenditure than if you had converted the energy directly by redirecting ambient heat. Heat pumps are this same principle taken to the extreme.
- Comment on Tear Down Walls, and Build Bridges 9 months ago:
Yes but if you want to do just want anything more advanced than putting users in a list you’re out of luck.
- Comment on Tear Down Walls, and Build Bridges 9 months ago:
You’re absolutely right and I definitely shouldn’t be making broad statements like that. Another thing I’ve found is that if you can stomach the effort (or do this from the get go), it’s a good idea to put all your academic or professional accounts into a single list. It’s nice to check into a slightly smarter feed from time to time.
- Comment on Mozilla lays off 60 people, wants to build AI into Firefox 9 months ago:
In this context or generally?
- Comment on Mozilla lays off 60 people, wants to build AI into Firefox 9 months ago:
I don’t think this is a money making move. The previous CEO was absolutely overly focused on monetization and this move is a step away from that.
- Comment on Tear Down Walls, and Build Bridges 9 months ago:
Mastodon really does seem to rally around braindead takes and misinformation. The culture over there can be hard to stomach sometimes.
- Comment on Mozilla lays off 60 people, wants to build AI into Firefox 9 months ago:
Tell me this is a good thing.
Mozilla has long been the most ethical player in this space (while still producing SOTA ML). All of their datasets/models are open source and usually crowdsourced. Not to mention, their existing work is primarily in improving accessibility.
ALSO, the other half of this story is that Firefox is becoming the primary focus again. Everybody’s freaking out about the AI stuff but that’s because they’re only reading the headlines. The programs they’ve shut down are things like Hubs (Mozilla’s metaverse platform), the VPN, and the sensitive data scrubber (which was using a third party service anyway).
- Comment on Mozilla lays off 60 people, wants to build AI into Firefox 9 months ago:
Though, it’s tough to pull from the headline/discussion this pivot is explicitly meant to refocus on the browser.
As far as the AI stuff goes, Mozilla has long been the most ethical player in this space. All of their datasets/models are open source and usually crowdsourced. Not to mention, their existing work is primarily in improving accessibility. It’s really hard to see how this is a bad thing.
- Comment on Mozilla lays off 60 people, wants to build AI into Firefox 9 months ago:
So frustrated to see how this conversation is playing out.
This pivot is about refocusing on: The Browser Privacy Ethical AI
This seems like a much better position for Mozilla to operate from, particularly because they’ve excelled at producing ethical SOTA ML for YEARS before ChatGPT. In all, this seems far more forward looking than the previous strategy of “make weird little web tools to make money maybe” and it’s an absolutely massive untapped niche, that they already have the talent to tap into.
- Comment on The Verge - The fediverse, explained 9 months ago:
So, you won’t see Mastodon content on Lemmy unless a Mastodon user has posted in a group (the generic term for community, subreddits, etc). For example, here’s an exchange I had with some Mastodon users. Groups don’t always come from Lemmy and as a Lemmy user you can subscribe to more Mastodon centric groups like !histodons@a.gup.pe or even PeerTube channels like !veronicaexplains_channel@tilvids.com. Direct user-to-user microblog style interaction with Mastodon users is not supported, and that’s mostly a design choice of the devs. Projects like kbin/mbin seek to bridge the gap and directly support both experiences.
- Comment on The Verge - The fediverse, explained 9 months ago:
The Verge has been all in on the Fediverse, and they’re probably the biggest advocate in the media. They’re also going through the process of switching their entire backend for direct fediverse support. If you have a mastodon or kbin consider boosting this at their official account (@verge@mastodon.social) here: mastodon.social/@verge/111891107107406018
