It’s Cory. This time the guy holding court is Cory.
BTW, the Kickstarter for Pixelfed and Loops, the actually-open, ActivityPub based clones of Instagram and TikTok, just hit $35,000 in its first 13 hours. The creator of Mastodon just ceded control to a new non-profit. That’s how you do it. By spending money to build free things for the public interest out in the open, not by tithing your money, labor and attention directly to VC-funded for-profit corporations.
For those who don’t know jwz, among other things, you have him to thank for Firefox/Mozilla’s existence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_Zawinski
But why the image…?
But, why male models?
😏
I am wondering what the images are for myself.
Loops is not open source lmao, its just Dansup promising that he’ll opensource it in an eventual future.
Saying “this platform is not actually open because the people running it are bad, come to these actually open platforms”, and then proceed to list a closed-source platform is incredibly funny
It keeps being advertised as such, and wanted registration for installing. I left it there and unsubscribed. But now they keep mailing me offers :/
That logo 😬
What’s the third logo? I recognize the rest, but not the rotated blue G or whatever it is.
The third logo is Gravatar, which allows you to set an avatar associated with your email. It is mostly used by blog platforms such as WordPress to associate an avatar with your comments. Many other platforms, such as Hubzilla and many forums, support Gravatar.
I thought for a second that the third logo was a goatse meme
Aren’t they all?
Thanks!
I fuckin love this guy
Oh no, but those poor Blue Sky users, when the service becomes even more terrible they might lose all their posts. We must save them from their own bad decisions!"
i wonder why it’s so hard for people to understand this about social media with significant financial backing; it literally happens every 👏 single 👏 time 👏 .
and here i am bieng the pot that’s calling the kettle black since i did tiktok up until monday. lol
At least you learned the lesson.
it’s a lesson i’ve learned many times since the days of bbs & icq; but it keeps catching me off guard.
