I would be down for some cajun-spiced KFC right now.

Ah, Russian boot-licking.

Google’s Pixel Fold is pretty much what I’d like to see in a folding phone, whereas Samsung’s extremely tall aspect ratio is a bit too thin for one-handed use.

Other competitors have figured out the formula for something that works well open and closed, so for the Fold type devices I’d like to see Samsung improve on the design and squish it a little, especially because it is so thick when folded.

Flip-style devices on the other hand, those are immediately cool. If the Z Flip had similar cameras to the S23, I would have considered holding out for one. The battery life on the S23 is what won me over.

“We need to be fair in our broadcasting!”

Yes, but you don’t have to platform Nazis.

That’s probably why digital displays still have analog speedometer options. At a glance it’s easier to tell what’s happening with your speed, rev count, and other levels like fuel.

But much of that utility is useful for manuals and ICE-powered cars.

Can confirm. Clearing cookies on Edge browser on Windows 11 fixed the login issue.

For the longest time Twitter has been reportedly a fantastic place to work at, and they had some great engineers who would never be lured away to other companies for any amount of money.

Except for the unlikely scenario where Twitter is circling the drain and Meta comes in with an offer to build a competitor from scratch using all the tools at their disposal.

Which is strange because there seems to be support for notifications of a mention? Jerboa even has a section for it, but no one has mentioned me yet so I don’t know if it works.

I similarly have separate logins. One day there’ll be easier integrations, but I don’t think kbin is it for now.

Stuff is pretty smooth now!

Eh, I have mixed feelings about how the Fediverse welcomes people by not really explaining how the whole thing works, but people have found their way around in no time at all.

It’s definitely a growing platform, but there are rough edges in the usability of it aside on desktop and mobile, and in many third-party apps like Jerboa.

I’m already seeing vastly improved performance, so I think the worst of the lag from recent updates is behind us.

1. Yes, that’s how federation works. Your local host may be faster than the instance you are browsing content on, especially if that other instance is getting hugged to death or DDOSed. But even if that is happening, the rest of the Fediverse works just fine.

2. No, instances are not mirrored. That’s probably possible in activitypub (the protocol that Lemmy and similar Fediverse platforms use), but unlikely to happen due to server resources and funding.

Think of it as a bunch of forums on the Internet, where an account made on one forum allows you to comment and see content on other forums, but you don’t need a separate account for all of them. Federation somewhat simplifies things, but there are drawbacks that I won’t get into here.

Given the… frankly absurd rate at which people are signing up to servers, and subscribing to other servers, and posting and commenting and upvoting and…

I mean it’s getting a bit hairy, and user growth was already following a very steep growth curve. Reddifugees are hugging all instances to death.
