  Bluesky most likely, I don’t see mastodon happening unless there is a major change in how the network addresses moderation and defederation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"What Is Your Dream for Mozilla" - Mozilla is doing a survey, questions include "What is most important to you right now about technology and the internet?"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, that’s when I lost the remaining hope I had for the project.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Palo Alto Networks confirms mystery zero day now exploited⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah fuck them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Russian TV companies demand 2 undecillion rubles from Google⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Essentially nothing, Google Russia declared bankruptcy two years ago when the russian government seized their bank account. I am not 100% certain but afaik google has no operations within russia anymore at this point in time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A TikTok alternative called Loops is coming for the fediverse | Users own their content, and Loops doesn’t sell or provide videos to third-party advertisers or train AI on them. It will be open source⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, was my first thought as well. As far as I can see it’s the same problem PeerTube is having and last I checked, were still trying to solve. (For context: github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/5783 )

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Unknown 9: Awakening’ Arrives To 200 Steam Players, Poor Reviews⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Same here, and frankly, what kind of title is “Unknown 9: Awakening” supposed to be? That reads like an internal Codename they forgot to change pre-release:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happened to the turn based RPG and RTS genres?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Much as I love WOTR, hard disagree there. BG 3 is much better in terms of reactivity and consequences, polish, and all of its mechanics work properly. Meanwhile WOTR has the stumps that are 50% of its mythic paths, the not particularly well received crusade mode, and one of the worst dungeons I can remember in rpg history (I will freely admit that this last point is not as objective as the rest of my argument, but I know I am far from alone with this opinion).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Successful lobbying by Sony and Nintendo I imagine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Youtube has fully blocked Invidious⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And then watch the peertube instance die. See also: github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/5783

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Screw the mozilla foundation. My only hope at this point is that Ladybird or one of the other projects produces something viable one of these days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit CEO teases AI search features and paid subreddits⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Frankly that’s about the only plausible customer base I could see for that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Telegram says it has 'about 30 engineers'; security experts say that's a red flag⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They seem to have 0 clue what they are “explaining “ though. I don’t know if those engineers are overworked or how (in)competent they are, I don’t even use telegram. But they apparently do have other non-engineering people on staff and content moderation and dealing with legal issues aren’t the job of an engineering team.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla roll out first AI features in Firefox Nightly⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Idk I still hope a Servo-based browser somehow materializes itself someday, but if/when that happens, who knows.
