Spade Echoes

Great Idea! I keep forgetting to. I don’t really mind being spied on by the Chinese since they already have their finger in many other pies I like to eat…and upon writing this I realized how foolish I am!

Wouldn’t you need to trust shady certs to do this? I’m surprised they could even MITM in this day and age unless they just damn included sus certs in your cacerts.

Opera cons notwithstanding, Opera One is really nice as a browser.

Firefox itself has some UI quirks that can cause a bit of friction.

Chrome always feels like it just works, but I rely on Google’s ecosystem frequently.

Very cool write-ups! Helps to see a dissenting point of view sometimes.

The M1/M2 Mac Mini is really nice.

Even internal hard drives are falling in price every few months. A WD Red Pro 18 TB is cheaper than a 16TB two months ago. I guess the strategy is to wait until the last moment before you buy storage now.

Time for Odysee to shine.

I think the Official subreddits are what will keep Reddit propped up.

I think this might be due to the algorithms for sorting comments since there always seems to be too many meaningful comments but low upvotes to signal quality to others. More specifically I think it’s harder to go viral here.

Might be a case of “grass is always greener.” I feel like more eyes and engagement happens for my posts and comments on Reddit. Over here it feels empty yet full, which is weird.

I wonder if more Microsoft properties will follow suit.

I imagine the Fediverse isn’t really a threat? They can play the long game and probably don’t care about the amount of people who left. There’s not much to gain bringing us down either since we’ll just migrate somewhere else.

Some Reddit communities are still flourishing so I use both!

Who will be accountable for abuse in the future? How does legal apply to cross-federated occurrences?

How easy is it to wipe or fake SMART data?
