You had to name it like that, didn’t you?

Services or applications. An instance is just a server.

Bu yeah, there are a lot more than those! See here

I’ve been trying to get on Bluesky for ages. Unfortunately they’re really stingy with invite links. I know it’s gonna sound really bad, but… you don’t happen to have one you could give away?

Also the EU: social.network.europa.eu

When I see this shit I lose all hope in the Fediverse’s success

…to make the fediverse useless, yes

Did not know about this, but it looks great! Wishlisting it

Still, lots of people care about the NYT and Fox News. And I mean LOTS of them

That was the idea. Now it’s pretty much a ghost town, though. It never had a real breakthrough

You know, I used to be very skeptical about this whole thing, like you are. But this is not the first report of this type I see, and I’m not so sure about it being a coincidence anymore

one of the test participants, who talked repeatedly about Volvo, did report that they were bombarded by advertising for the brand. This person did not even own a car, nor had they searched the Internet to buy a Volvo or any other kind of car.

My thoughts exactly. The official announcement does not say anything.

As a browser? Firefox. The answer is always just Firefox. It’s not perfect by any means, but it’s the best in terms of privacy and ethics. It’s not shady like Brave is, it’s not Chromium-based like any other browser, and Mozilla is actively engaged in making the web a better place.

I’ve had the chance to discuss numerous times with people about other browsers, and I honestly don’t get why they always look elsewhere, when Firefox exists.

P.s.: sorry about the tirade, I obviously don’t have anything against you. It’s just that Firefox has existed for 21 years and it has been consistently user-focused and privacy-centric and I really don’t understand why people don’t just use it - maybe because it’s not as new and thus does not look as attractive as other browsers

IDK if that’s really news. I went to the Wall with my (christian) family like 15 years ago and my mother, who was wearing a tiny cross necklace, was asked to hide it

They just don’t know any better. And when you tell them about Brave’s history, they just don’t listen

I don’t know what to think about this acquisition. What I do know is that the FTC should pick their battles in a different way. There are at least a couple of other tech companies (Google, Amazon) that should be broken up because they’re monopolies and I don’t know why nobody at the FTC seems to be looking at them.
