Okay but what about app compatibility?

Our router doesn’t support it (it’s the V2 model)

Unfortunately, it’s not so easy or useful if you don’t have a powerful machine to host it with

I frankly wouldn’t care at all had MS not truncate your home folder to 5 characters when using a Ms account and also didn’t make using remote desktop impossible when enabling a passwordless account.

What a time to be alive

That. Is the goofiest system I have ever seen

I’ve personally moved to Bing from Google. Partly because it’s annoyingly the only way to do web searches from the start menu, But also because it’s much more flexible with AI compared to Google’s new AI Overviews (The engines vice president actually tweeted about being able to disable Copilot in response to Google’s new AI).

I personally like how Bing presents information better, but it still has quite a few problems. Especially around relevancy, and it’s image search isn’t the best if you’re looking for anything that isn’t a photograph.

It’s amusing how Google mentions stuff as being “exclusive to android” and then lies about it

Yay the torment Nexus is now faster

Needs more material 3

I hope this means a US release is soon

I don’t hate copilot but I seldom use it enough to justify having a taskbar button for it

I hope Mastodon will incorporate this

Pretty nice.

Side note though, do people here actually read the articles here? It’s pretty obvious this would be a part of FMD. iPhone has already been doing this for years

I’m pretty sure you would be able to opt out of this. Just like the rest of Find My Device.

Personally with XMPP, I think it’s right now because of the lack of decent looking clients (especially on iOS), as well as a lot of the same friction that people have suffered with mastodon.

Also, Signal is built towards a completely different audience that places privacy first over modern messaging features (things like API’s, sending messages through voice assistants, etc.). And for SimpleX, I’m not really sure if sharing a QR code/link with someone else is the best route to go in UX just to message a friend

I always feel like whenever someone complains about fedi not being fully decentralized because they perceived too many instances as being held under a single place, they miss the point a little bit in terms of prioritizing infrastructure over user governance.

Aside from the potential disasters happening at them, it just really doesn’t feel like a problem if most people are hosting an instance on a popular cloud platform. These are companies that are just providing infrastructure, and as long as you aren’t trying to abuse their network or spread anything that they consider to be harmful, they won’t really care.

Instances operated under Home and business ISPs aren’t particularly immune to this either. And can still cut off an instance if they decide to.

I would definitely agree. I would say that UI and UX are pretty important in open source.

It’s not like everyone has a choice in the say. Given that many schools and workplaces rely on Google for something
