You cannot let or forbid a 16yo to use stuff. You can only decide whether they will do it in the open or in hiding. Personally I’d rather have them talk to me about it than hide it from me.

Whether it works or not, this looks incredibly fun! That’s a win in my book.

I’m still confused why people are so hell bent on using a single window exclusively. It’s a natural way to group the tabs and it was there from day one!

The source got pulled off Github already.

Single tweets are rarely useful without being able to read some context that isn’t visible without logging in.

If you’re asking about a personal opinion: any policy purely based on tradition is worthless. Tradition is just peer pressure from dead people. Just like any peer pressure, it’s highly unlikely to produce anything but grief. If something is based purely on tradition without any other reason to exist, it’s unlikely to be an optimal policy.

Back to the initial question. I don’t think we can get infinitely progressive but we can keep subtracting the cruft of tradition until there is no necromantic peer pressure left at all. Mind that if something happens to be a tradition but still has a good reason to exist, it should be evaluated like any other idea in terms of being good or bad. I mean removing just one of the reasons to keep this idea. If it is left with zero reasons, it’s out. Otherwise it’s fair game.

Isn’t every rule just a preference of someone influential enough to make it into a rule?

If you can’t take an obvious joke, I’d rather stay here and you can take reddit, thank you.

If these are hard requirements for her hardware and she’s not willing to search herself with such ridiculous constraints, I’d suggest replacing gf.

Are screenshots even still considered evidence? They should be absolutely trivial to manipulate.

It’s a reference to her using her jet likely more often than I use my car.

And so the enshittification continues. This time not for the consumers. Not yet.

It certainly feels dangerous if forced upon users not aware of the trade-offs. For people already accustomed to using hardware keys, it’s very much an improvement, as more services will support them too. The problem is in the awareness. On the other hand, people already treat regular passwords as throwaway data and expect services to just let them in, or even never log them out. In this scenario, maybe passkeys can still be an improvement: roughly just as much as enforcing using a password manager.

I guess this is one area that AI can actually improve in our lives: https://www.summarize.tech/youtube.com/watch?v=jzQS9MmlEy8

With all due respect, that sounds very much like what something unsupported would do.

Federation combined with keeping the historical federated data consistent is certainly a bitch. We can’t have it all. It could be like email that only handles delivery at any point in time and history is purely local, but Mastodon specifically keeps the federated data public. Propagating the change on the historical data to the federated instances would be nearly impossible. I don’t see how it could have been done better without sacrificing something else.

I don’t think they could do anything about it. As far as I know, Mastodon doesn’t support any kind of instance renaming, so the hostname is one thing you cannot change. You can only spin up a completely new instance.

Not exactly a surprise. It was known it will happen ahead of time: https://archive.is/EaSjE

Just because the gameplay was very simple doesn’t make it crap. The details (movement speed, the gap between the obstacles) were pretty much on point and that’s something that makes or breaks this kind of game.

Last but not least, it had little to none anti-user “features” that plague the modern games. I would choose Flappy Bird over most current games any time of the day. Actually there is no “would” in there as I still have it installed.

Until I read your comment, I thought this meme is about depression being constantly trivialized as a simple chemical imbalance.
