That article is a bit out of date and wasn’t really true anyway. The people who are creating Pretendo, who wrote the blog post this article is based on, did an update on the situation, specifically calling out the media for their sloppy articles:
With that said, some outlets did a less than stellar job at reporting our last post, not covering some topics fully or accurately.
TL;DR: Many of the issues have already been fixed, even going so far as there are now entirely new servers in place to act as a proxy for Amazons servers to work around some security related incompatibility issues.
@penpencilbrush@claudiac@bookstodon Have to thank you again for recommending Blackwells. Although I am a solid supporter of my local independent bookstore and public library sometimes they just can't get books that aren't published in Canada or in North America. Blackwells delivered Hannah Kent's wonderful #historicalFiction Devotion and Maggie Shipstead's excellent Astonish Me. So grateful to finally have the opportunity to read these marvellous #books. #Reading
Zorin OS 17 isn’t going to dethrone Linux Mint any time soon. I wish they switched to following Ubuntu LTS releases instead of being on their own timeline. 22.04 package base is going to be 2 years old by the time this releases.
They obviously spent a lot of time on aesthetics and simplicity which seems to be the main appeal of the distribution.

Made an initial merge request to get the wonderful improvements from @user0 into mobile-config-firefox. :firefoxnew:
The idea is to make desktop firefox behave more similar to the Android version, e.g. getting rid of the extra tab bar, and some of the buttons around the urlbar to have more space for typing the URL.
I appologize for not replying to you sooner. I have been busy with many things and hadn't logged into my account here in a few weeks.
What would you think of having an access to add-ons MUCH more straightforwardly ? Maybe icons directly at the top of the burger menu?
I had tried something similar in order to move the new-tab button into the Tab Manager Menu, but it unfortunately doesn't seem possible. Menu items can be re-arranged and hidden, but they cannot be added to a menu or moved from one menu to another. I agree though that your idea would be really cool if it could be done.
Or icons on display next to the URL field, with a sliding bar letting you browse all the way to the end?
I don't think this is possible with CSS code either, so I can't help, but I found a post on reddit that involves javascript:
Update: Problem solved! It reads: Es freut mich, daß Sie bis heute schon so große Erfolge erringen konnten. So wünsche ich Ihnen auch für Ferneres recht große weitere Erfolge. Nachdem die jüdische Musik doch bald ganz eingedämmt ist, wird für unsere deutschen Künstler wieder eine bessere Zeit kommen.
@carinealders@historikerinnen@histodons I read your text snippet as "Es freut mich, daß Sie bis heute schon so große Erfolge erringen konnten und wünsche ich Ihnen auch für Ferneres noch große weitere Erfolge. Nachdem die jüdische Musik doch bald genug eingedämmt ist, wird auch für unsere deutschen Künstler wieder eine bessere Zeit kommen", even if the first sentence seems grammatically iffy (the word order is a bit uncommon, as if the writer perhaps rephrased the sentence during writing).
@carinealders@historikerinnen@histodons Mastodon's preferred translation service mistook the source language for Nederlands. Here is the German translation of the antisemitism, courtesy of DuckDuckGo:
"I am pleased that you have been able to achieve such great success to date. So I wish you great further success in the future. Now that Jewish music will soon be completely contained, a better time will come for our German artists."
This week we've got a series of updates for you after being hard at work...
First up is some research we've carried out to help us get the most out of low-powered TV platforms - which we hope will make it easier for us to create high quality user interfaces for our services:
@BBCRD unexpected and interesting. I'd feel like this is more of a suggestion that the WebGL implementation wasn't sufficiently optimized, WebGL optimization is kind of a bottomless pit. Though maybe there's a way that WebGL taxes the system that makes frame drops unavoidable regardless of implementation. Embedded systems are another world.
@kcarr2015@MirrorAyako@allstartrek I no longer care about this as intensely as I did 25 years ago, but the whole "separate power supply for the holodeck" thing is a load of nonsense that somebody came up with in the 90s to justify lazy creative choices (which, to be fair, may have been foisted upon them by Rick Berman or UPN execs). To see it used on modern productions by people with way more creative freedom than the Voyager writers kind of annoys me. These people should know better.
I'm thinking about Mastodon in a wide view, in the world of social media, this feels a little outsider, while at the same time it also feels like it might be the future. So, let's talk about it!
What do you get out of Mastodon?
Why are you here?
How has it compared with your other social media experiences?
What do you see for the future of Mastodon?
What do you want to see?
And basically anything else about it you want to say about Mastodon.
LET'S TALK!
@mambearpnw Maybe? With the new search feature you might be able to just search for Holly or Stephen King, but the #Holly or #StephenKing hashtags will work if someone used them. I don't get many hits on the first, but I get plenty for the second.
If you're a reader you can follow #Bookstodon or the auto-boosting group @bookstodon (this makes it easier to find people who use the hashtag), people love to talk books with those.
Any recommendations of streaming app for iphone? I use stremio on all my other devices, and currently just have a tab for movie-web.app on my phone, but looking for a better solution.
Oh no, the devs are to blame. Lots of people including me bought into the promise that this would be a Pokémon mmo. We expected expansion packs, coop content, new monsters to catch and new places to see. The devs vehemently oppose adding new content to the game and have been saying as much since late early game, right before launch, when most people have already paid.
Unfortunately, the devs see mmos as “games where you grind a lot”. Sure you can play the story coop, but at end game you have nothing to do with a friend. Sure, lairs technically have 5 players but everyone is playing their own game and the only interaction is a shared pool of resources.
The game is super grindy for no reason, it’s always online despite not having much justification for that aside from “you have to see players in the world, doesn’t matter that you can’t interact with them in any meaningful way”, and updates focus on meaningless pvp content with nothing major like new tems to spice things up.
If you asked me before launch if the game was worth it, I would have readily said yes, even if just for the storyline. Unfortunately, they rushed it so hard after the mid-point that they botched it completely, and you are left with a barely coherent, pointless excuse of a story.
It’s not the worst game out there, I have sunk 350 hours or so in it (most of that grinding), but the devs have piss-poor decision making, a lack of transparency, an aversion to criticism and they are getting desperate. You’re better off not getting invested in this.
If you have any questions about the game, feel free to ask.
PS: the ban thing isn’t an issue from my experience. It’s the rest of everything.
Yes. If you’re of the belief that Pokemon peaked during the game boy advance era then you’ll probably like coromon. I never got around to finishing it but I’ve enjoyed the 10ish hours I’ve put in.
Now that both #Twitter and #Reddit have been short-sighted enough to burn through the goodwill of many users and communities, I wonder if it's time for distributions like @fedora and @centos - who were latecomers to the #Fediverse - to embrace #Lemmy ?
Let's see if I succeed in posting this to @linux as well - to see if Mastodon<->Lemmy interop works as well as it seems to do with another Lemmy community
My post about communick on @fediverse was unfeatured and I got a 3-day ban for "advertisements".
The post was well received and had 100+ upvotes. I've written it after someone found a comment of mine and said more people could be interested.
I did talk about communick a lot on that community, but my participation was far from spammy. I also subscribed to plenty of other communities and kept any communick-related comments to the "right" place.
