The servers on the Mastodon website are servers that have been running for a long time, are trusted, and have a plan for what happens in an emergency (multiple people with full access to everything required)

Displaying to the screen and stuff was already working, you can already use Asahi Linux and have a GUI and everything, it’s just that it’s all rendered by the CPU right now

Twitter doesn’t choose what shows up, the people do Twitter doesn’t write, rate or moderate notes (unless they break the Twitter rules.) We believe giving people a voice to make these choices together is a fair and effective way to add information that helps people stay better informed.

Well, this isn’t true anymore. There was a birdwatch note on one of Elons tweets that got removed. And it wasn’t removed by the people, because in the Birdwatch UI it still said “this note was voted helpful and is showing on the tweet”.

Here’s a picture of the note before it was removed: https://twitter.com/goldman/status/1588576046743687170?s=46&...

I couldn’t find the picture of the Birdwatch UI showing it’s still helpful and showing on the tweet when it wasn’t :( If anyone really wants it, reply and I’ll look more, I probably have it in my likes

I’ve been using ProtonMail with a custom domain and I love it !!

The web app is the best desktop email interface I’ve used and the iOS app is the best mobile email interface I’ve used

For context: (not sure if this is right, just something I heard somewhere) the VLC website was banned because some people were distributing versions of VLC that included malware (not through the official VLC website, but through other websites), and for some reason instead of banning those unofficial websites they banned the official website

Waydroid and Anbox 4 years ago

Last I checked, Anbox is completely abandoned by the maintainer and is getting no updates. Waydroid is the new Anbox. No point even considering Anbox over Waydroid

This. Stadia was years ahead of every other streaming service, at least for me. It was the only one that was actually playable!

Everything else had either unbearable latency or unbearable image quality

And even ignoring the actual gaming experience, it just feels more polished (as in the UX and UI) than some of the other ones like GFN

They have been confirmed to work on the PC versions on at least Celeste and Cyberpunk (and those are the only ones I’ve heard tried so, 100% success rate for now)
