It’s the fediverse version of Instagram. Pixelfed.org.

 

Which are your go-to apps for social media? Right now I’m only on Lemmy, Mastodon, Matrix, and Pixelfed. All in on that fediverse life.

I always laugh at the term "far left" or "left extremism." Like oh no stop it with all the equality and rights. No no anything but those.

It’s not implemented well because it adds it to your account immediately without needing to confirm the code. This means if the user doesn’t know what they’re doing they could add 2FA and not copy the code correctly to their password manager resulting in a lockout.

 

I've gotten away from Discord, so I'm looking for some active Matrix groups. Anyone have links/recommendations? Right now I'm in the Mlem app matrix group which is pretty active and lovely, but I'd like some more! Thank you!!

 

If you go into your account settings you'll see a shiny new 2FA setup option. Once you check the box and reload there will be a button to there link your default 2FA application.

Now for Safari users on macOS who don't use Apple Keychain for your 2FA but rather a 3rd party app like 1Password or Bitwarden things are a little tricky. In order to get around linking it directly to Keychain you can right click the 2FA link and choose "inspect element." Scroll down slightly and you'll see that element highlighted in the new element window. Right click the highlighted area and select "copy link." That's the 2FA code which you can then paste in any 3rd party password manager.

I'm not seeing much at all of that currently. A week ago? Sure. Now it's been consolidated to a mega thread.

What if I told you we don't need to compete with them?

The biggest issue is normies are stupid. That’s basically the gist.

I won’t touch anything with Dorsey’s name attached. Yuck.

Before algorithms we all used hashtags. Hashtags were very important to Twitter in the before times. That’s how you find topics on mastodon. I have columns set with specific hashtag sets so I can quickly glance at toots about horror movies, birds, retrogaming, etc…

You can also follow hashtags directly in your home feed just like Twitter topics.

It’s really not a difficult thing at all, but people are so addicted to Twitter they always give a halfassed attempt at switching before throwing up their hands.

You’re talking about Lemmy, right? Sorting by anything but new gives you the same posts for days on end.

Umm what the actual fuck? Did Florida just lowkey ban all trans people from their state? How is this constitutional? How do you even say someone is trans when they have an updated birth certificate ffs? This is pure insanity.

 

I’m not sure if you’ve tried this PWA called Wefwef but it feels like a fully featured Apollo client for Lemmy already. You just go to the site and add it to your home screen. No beta to sign up for. No TestFlight link. Just add the PWA.

It’s good. It’s really really good.

 

No shot those Fritos are still crunchy. Why on earth would you put the Fritos in at all? This completely ruins the entire point of the walking taco which is to use a small bag of Fritos as the container for the toppings themselves.

This makes me irrationally angry.

 

Literally says he wants to return to the 1940s.

 

I was looking at reddit today, and the front-page felt like nothing happened. I scrolled and scrolled and scrolled and clicked into comments. Everything is popping off buzzing with activity. All the subreddits I was subscribed to that went dark are now back up and business as usual.

I knew we were a minority, but I didn't expect this level of apathy. It feels like Spez was 100% right and this did in fact blow over. What's your take on it it? I didn't expect Reddit to immediately be a failure, but man I guess I expected a bigger impact than that.

 

This is what passes for poutine in America (as seen in the SanFrancisco airport).

 

Nintendo Wii: Sold like gangbusters.

64bit Processors: The computing standard.

Battlestar Galactica: Considered one of the greatest sci-fi series of all time.

Facebook: Continues to be the world’s leading social media platform by literally BILLIONS of users.

High Definition: HD only got even more HD.

iPhone: Set the standard for mobile smartphone form factor and function to this day 16 years later.

 

Affirmative Action has now ended in the United States.

 

Honestly I didn't quite believe it. I had to look it up on wikipedia to realize 1998 was that long ago. I getting old. Really old. Not even a meme old. Like real actual old.

 

Sure, the very first iPhone released today, but does anyone remember the first Android smartphone?

In October of 1998 HTC’s T-Mobile G1, or HTC Dream as it’s known outside the U.S would launch being the first phone with the Android OS. The G1 was priced at $179 — which was pretty affordable even in those days — and featured top-of-the-line specs including a Qualcomm MSM7201A processor, 192MB of RAM, and 256MB of internal storage (expandable up to 16GB). It also stocked a 3.15MP rear camera, and a 1,150mAh battery.
