I got in right before Subaru went that way and ended up with the best of both worlds: a touchscreen for CarPlay and knobs for…everything else. I still have knobs for the radio if need be.
Plus it’s a six speed manual (Crosstrek).
I get a flyer from the dealership every other week asking if I want to “upgrade.” Sorry, fellas, nothing you have is an upgrade to me. You can’t get a manual gearbox here any more.
Imagine using a Meta product. Woof.
As I understand it, these changes don’t affect browsers that use FF as a base, so Zen Browser might not be affected.
I’ve been trying it out this week, and it’s good. And can still use all the FF extensions.
I have a friends Discord I set up a year before Covid, and for about a year only 3 people used it, mainly to play some games together.
But when Covid hit, it obviously gained some traction. And now it’s THE place I interact with friends since I’ve long ditched the likes of Facebook.
I keep going back and forth on whether or not to possibly set up a Mastodon server for friends. The hardest part would be convincing people to use it. But it could just be like our little shared space that could still interact with the wider world. It’d be kinda cool to have a Local feed be just people you know in real life.
Now that it has been three years, while I’d like to have one, I feel like I’ll just wait until whatever the next version is - even if that means waiting another year or so.
I don’t need one, particularly, and I don’t want to be caught at the tail end of this hardware.
If the students aren’t wholly writing their own essays from start to finish then what’s the point?
“Become?”

The first planes only flew for a few seconds.
Yep.
I have tried on my phone and Mac, and I can’t submit anything. Even for other locations.
I took one of the free CS50 classes (among others) on EdX years and years ago, and honestly it helped get me into the business and into the job I have now.
It’s fun to joke I took a MIT class for free. But it honestly helped me learn some logic and enough stuff to get me going.
Unless the game has its own subscription, like Final Fantasy XIV.
Unless that has changed over the years. I’m not sure.
Yeah, I now have six hours in the game between last night and today. I actually finally just stopped after a few hour stretch.
I’m having fun! But I also have seen some bugs. I can get behind waiting if some smaller bugs are annoying, but I’m enjoying the game quite a bit.
I’m pretty happy that it runs alright on my Mac Mini M4. Starts up quick and gets going. It defaults to High settings but I turned the shadows down a bit just to keep things a little smoother.
My 1070 still plays Final Fantasy XIV just fine, so I think I keep my $3,400, thanks.
Yeah, this one guy has been trying to jumpstart so many projects. And that’s admirable, but it’s also too much for one dude (and I know he’s tried to get some other people, but there has been drama around that - by him, I think).
But more to your point - something feels a little off even though I can’t confirm anything. It does feel like this guy might just take some money and run if given the chance.
And I don’t necessarily blame him for that - I probably would too. I don’t want to work, and if I had money I wouldn’t.
But there’s just this feeling I can’t shake about all of it. And I have a Pixelfed and a Loops account. They are both fine, so we’ll see, I guess. But I wouldn’t be surprised if I end back up with Mastodon being my sole social place for sharing photos, for example.
'It didn’t work the first time we tried to launch a streaming service. But THIS time…"
The people there seem pretty chill in my experience so far.
Hopefully this money will allow that ONE DUDE to get some help in managing these apps. I know he has maybe a couple of collaborators now, but maybe they can get some more dedicated people to build out the apps. It’s a lot for one or two people to try and spin up two apps at once.
The Pixelfed app that dropped last week, for example, doesn’t even have a button to view the global feed. It’s better to just use the main website of whatever server you are on right now, even on your mobile device.
Yeah, that’s a fair point, actually.
At least someone at Sony saw some reason.
I can’t think of any human being who wanted a live service Horizon and God of War.
It’s frustrating because “the consumer” doesn’t want manuals, yet car makers add all these things that keep people from paying attention to the road making it - in my opinion - too easy to get distracted. I like that I can’t hold my phone in my hand and drive because I need to shift.
Last summer I was in Ireland, and I was peeking in a few cars on parked on the side of the road just out of curiosity. Almost every one was a manual, it seemed like. It’s not that we COULDN’T have fun, manual cars here. But Americans are lazy.
