My understanding is that favorites are equivalent to twitter likes, and boosts are equivalent to twitter retweets, but on twitter people like way more then they retweet, so why is it different on mastodon?
For me, it was the game Rocket Jockey released by Sega Soft in '96. It was perfect. The game featured a surf rock soundtrack by Dick Dale. The entire premise of the game was to ride around on rockets and using long cables to yank your opponents off theirs. Referees were also fair play. I don’t think I’ve met anyone else who...
I don’t understand why Google didn’t just made Android closed source. They would’ve made custom roms impossible and therefore more able to control and spy on it’s users. Why did Google made Android open source, while Microsoft’s Windows is still closed source to this day?
It’s such a subtle shift they probably don’t even realize it happened. But suddenly people stop reacting with joy and love when they see you and it takes a while to adjust to that

My xiaomi portable fast charger clearly charges my girlfriend’s iPhone faster than my high end android device. Doesn’t matter which port, which cable or which android phone. It starts by charging fast but as soon as I link her phone the fast charging speeds go straight to hers and mine just chargers very very slowly....
Is it a bad idea to use my desktop to self host?...

I have an old Pi hanging around doing nothing. When I originally got it it had the latest Pi OS with desktop loaded and ran like garbage, not surprisingly. So I messed with it headless for a bit, then found RISCOS as an option in Pi imager utility and that is just a neat OS. Fun to play around with for sure. But now I’m...

Is there anything that already...
