- Comment on Reddit Blames Google Algorithm Changes For Not Hitting User Growth. 1 week ago:
yeah i mean i know my workarounds like old.reddit and certain third party apps that still work, but most users aren’t doing that. Everytime i accidentally end up on the default reddit experience i am amazed by how messy, ad-riddled, and annoying it is to use. If that was the only way i knew how to use the site, I would simply open the site less.

what does he mean by “these reviews”? All the scores seem pretty positive to me?

As long as FC and Ultimate Team keep being reliable money factories, you can expect them to continue half-assing everything else.
- Comment on You Can’t Post Your Way Out of Fascism [404 Media] 2 weeks ago:
I think Rose hits this point pretty good:
It’s not that social media is fundamentally evil or bereft of any good qualities. Some of my best post-Twitter moments have been spent goofing around with mutuals on Bluesky, or waxing romantic about the joys of human creativity and art-making in an increasingly AI-infested world. But when it comes to addressing the problems we face, no amount of posting or passive info consumption is going to substitute the hard, unsexy work of organizing.
so keep doing it to have fun if it’s what you do for fun! just don’t make the mistake of thinking it is a substitute for direct action. Personally, I think good political memes might be one of the few things we can actually do online to change minds. a funny meme that also makes a good point will probably reach way more people than a well-written article that makes the same point!

- Comment on Steam Brick: A DIY cut-down Steam Deck, sans input and screen 3 weeks ago:
I think it would be hard to find a NUC that costs the same or less and still performs the same as the Steam Deck. You could maybe get there with a custom-built SFFPC, but it would be tricky.

LTT deliberately fucked over a small boutique water cooling shop. They had a host if other fuckery that needed to be exposed. Why would GN chill out when LTT was doing stuff that directly opposed GN’s pro-consumer and pro-small business values?

- Comment on Exclusive: Bluesky is getting its own photo-sharing app, Flashes 5 weeks ago:
Flashes itself is based on Berlin developer Sebastian Vogelsang’s earlier app, Skeets, his initial foray into creating consumer-facing apps for the growing social network, Bluesky, which now tops 27.5 million users.
While Bluesky offers its own official mobile client, Skeets differentiated itself by focusing on the needs of iPad users as well as customized accessibility features for blind and low-vision users, as that’s one of Vogelsang’s areas of expertise.
Okay so this is coming from someone other than Bluesky the company, which is very promising for Bluesky’s ongoing decentralization.
