Kev Quirk, one of the admins of Fosstodon (a Mastodon instance), destroys Meta in an email exchange.
It's not about standards. It's about how "Meta" is going to use the data they'll collect to manipulate and advertise to you in insidious ways. They don't want to cooperate with the Fediverse, they want to control it. Those are the issues and the source of negativity.
What they failed to mention too was that some communities (IIRC, it was r/mildlyinteresting) approved NSFW content that was only risqué pictures of vegetables, like fruits shaped like genitalia.
This article is just a rewording of u/Spez propaganda. It wouldn't surprise me if Ziff-Davis, owners of PCMag, are investors on Reddit. Condé Nast certainly is, which explain why yesterdays article on Ars-Technica shares the same propagandistic tones.
It worries me that all those communities moving to Discord will one day suffer though all this all over again, once Discord enshittifies and drives them out. Relying on a closed, proprietary and centralized service for user-generated content is a bad idea, as we all learned already.
This is why I love my Espresso machine so much. It's a modern one, but:
- It has a physical, mechanical switch that makes a satisfying "CLACK" when I turn it on
- Selection of single/double shot espresso/capuccino/latte is done by a rotary knob
- Separate (non-capacitive) buttons for continuous pour of coffee/steamed milk
Sure it has a micro, but it's function is to monitor temperature and allows preparation of beverages only when it's at the appropriate temperature.
Oh, and it doesn't use wasteful capsules. It uses a regular socketed filter holder that takes regular ground coffee.
If it ever breaks, I'm pretty sure it'll be easy to fix with the junk I have at home. Clearly a machine designed by people who loves coffee and respects their customers.
Naah. This is (in his POV) excelent. He can just fire an e-mail at 3:00AM saying: "Everyone from Boulder will have to check in to the SF office by tomorrow. If you fail to do so, I'll assume you abandoned work and is no longer employed at Twitter".
What a POS...
I'm interested in that. Does it take a lot of resources (ram, cpu, disk ) ?
