Valve should have used GNOME on SteamOS so I could actually use it with the touch screen, and no on can convince me otherwise

SteamOS used to use GNOME, but now it uses KDE.

God I can't wait for that website to die already

To answer your question, it's inertia. People need to be forced of Twitter if before they join Mastodon/Bluesky/Threads

Finally, a competitive YouTube alternative

Are there any potential repercussions for sticking a utility knife into the speaker grill?

Apparently, that account is run by a TERF who deadnames trans men and refuses to include trans women's art.

It is not well known but there have been numerous scandals which put this trust into question. For example in 2012, a trustee of the Wikimedia Foundation UK used his position to place his PR client on Wikipedia’s front page 17 times within a month. Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales made extensive edits to the article about himself, removing mentions of co-founder Larry Sanger. In 2007, a prolific editor who claimed to be a graduate professor and was recruited by Wikipedia staff to the Arbitration Committee was revealed to be a 24-year-old college dropout. These are only a few examples, journalist Helen Buyniski has collected much more information about the the rot in Wikipedia.

I don't really understand how decentralization would address the trust and legitimacy problems of Wikipedia. I do see value in adding community wikis to Lemmy, however.

It always bugged me when the CEO referred to Bluesky as part of the fediverse because that's only technically true with projects like Bridgy Fed.

Bluesky is uniquely un-private. For instance, you can see who blocks who.

There's an upcoming project to bridge Mastodon, nostr, and Bluesky, but it's not out yet.

I just wanted to be on the instance that gets updates the fastest :(

Maybe. Meta and Automattic (WordPress.com and Tumblr) are betting on ActivityPub over ATProtocol.

Much easier than pouring boiling water on a frozen windshield I guess.

Don't look up goatse (nsfl)

It was one of the original "shock sites."

idk. After they dropped invite codes, they started requiring phone numbers for sign up.

It's supposed to happen relatively soon I think

That project is called Bridgy Fed.

User-uploadable custom feeds, which aren't really possible with ActivityPub

The Spotify Car Thing cost $100, but I can't use it anymore. (lemmy.ml)

EDIT: The only reason why I still had it at this point was because I could use it with other apps. However, now that my Spotify Subscription is cancelled, it doesn't work with anything. It's mildly infuriating because today, I can't still use it with other apps like I was able to yesterday....
