Firefish is more tumblr-y, mastodon more twitter-y. Both are good, have their pros and cons. It’s a matter of preference. Firefish is extremely easy to set up though, like ridiculously so.
Just started using it. First impressions, it's definitely feels more unique than mastodon, and has features its missing. Like there are reactions in addition to favoriting a post, and you can quote post. At this point, It kinda feel's like Mastodon's kbin.
I find Firefish adorable for some reason? Like I know nobody who uses it but when I signed up a bunch of random people made sure to greet me. It was very sweet.
A mastodon DM is a private post. Setting a post to private before sending means only mentioned accounts can see it, and all mentioned accounts get notified. In a sense this enables both DMs and group messages too. But it’s not the most elegant interface for it tbf. A good app makes this feel more DM like, such as Ice Cubes on iOS or the equivalent on Android.
Ditto. You could find some weird stuff on there. I have a whole 4GB external SCSI drive sitting somewhere with a bunch of weird demos or bootlegs that I haven’t been able to find since because they were tagged by someone on acid
Soulseek was Amazing. What was cool is you could chat with people. I met a “Girl” from Israël and she made me discover a lot of cool rap bands like CunninLynguists. It was fun.
Steve, if you keep complaining with your coworkers, you’ll be fired. You know what, you’re fired. And your coworkers, too, the company can’t keep up with your expenses.
Not necessarily, plenty of good programs written in C89 for example.
With something that is heavily library dependent, having a more recent development stack may mean better maintained libraries but definitely not a sure thing.
There is, and it’s not completely terrible (but not a patch on the original). A bit 90s era “Winners don’t do drugs” preachiness, but it is from the director of The Empire Strikes Back, so at least it’s competent.
Robocop 3 on the other hand… How the fuck do you make a robot ninja boring?
There was a bunch of made for TV, straight to bargain bin drek as well. Can’t even be bothered to look up the name of it.
The film was followed by a number of sequels and spin-offs; two theatrical sequels, 1990’s RoboCop 2 and 1993’s RoboCop 3, the latter of which replaced Weller with Law & Order: Special Victims Unit’s Robert John Burke; two Canadian-produced live-action TV series, 1994’s RoboCop and 2001’s RoboCop: Prime Directives; and, despite the extremely R-rated nature of the first RoboCop, two kid-aimed cartoon series, 1988’s RoboCop and 1998’s RoboCop: Alpha Commando. The franchise has also produced a number of comic books, action figures, and video games. None of them captured the verve, or the success, of Verhoeven’s original film.
In Belgium we have automatic wage indexation based on inflation of certain product. Some right wing parties want to get rid of it, but luckily it’s still here.
And that proves what exactly? Swiss law required them to hand over an IP address. Swiss ptivacy is not absolute. They have laws. An IP address didn’t grant them access to the encrypted emails. Proton openly admits they had no idea who the user was. The activist should have used a VPN, which Proton also offers as a service, and then whatever activity trail they linked to the IP would have died at Proton’s VPN network.
I self-host (postfix and dovecot) and will admit of all the self-hosted stuff I have it’s the most annoying/time-consuming to manage but doable if you’re willing to spend a lot of time reading and updating things. I wouldn’t recommend it to the vast majority of people though.
I read some horror stories about folks who self-hosted for years and how they eventually quit and moved to an established email provider. It didn’t seem like something I wanted to deal with.
Do you think using one of those federated email networks where it’s invite only and between people you know would have any appreciable use cases in conjunction with an established provider? I can think of having a small org use it maybe but not between friends or family.
Five and eleven eyes doesn’t matter if the service is encrypted and open sourced. Also, did you know that Switzerland has no superior privacy laws comparing to Germany? It’s all marketing bluff.
