Samsung One UI moment

You can do some heavy modifications to their skin, on par with some custom ROMs of old, but it seems that a third of the time all the users do is install The Ugliest Font You've Ever Seen

Wish they had a native app. The misskey clients make my phone itch

👏 unionize 👏 yesterday 👏 techbros 👏

You can get all that and even more if you pressure your libertarian peers to nut up or shut up

He should get that addiction to chewing wires sorted out

ActivityPub is more of a social network protocol rather than a messaging protocol. It assumes most data sent through it will get public by default and has very little encryption set up for it, let along E2EE. Now Matrix is a better use case for an open protocol like that and also offers bridges between other chat networks (I wouldn't be surprised if Beeper has Matrix under the hood).

Farewell to #HoloYolo - the last release of its generation, and the first of Android RunTime

I basically see this going in 1 of three directions:

a) Sony will deliver the Q Lite as is, in this form - a barely unmodified Android (13?) Tablet handheld that presumably has Remote Play and PS+ preinstalled. I find this very unlikely, but probably the best case scenario to maximizing value/minimizing e-waste of this device.

b) Sony will deliver a heavily modified/locked down version of Android dedicated to a PS5 aesthetic/UX that only uses Remote Play/PS+. I find this the most likely option from a matter of cost and practicality. Android is extremely competent at scaling to various form factors and has 1.5 decades+ of application and hardware support. Other than embedded Linux (yes I know the kernel, shush) it's one of, if not the easiest OSes to build up from, especially if you are running Qualcomm, which they are rumored to be in a partnership with. This will make things more difficult to modify/hack though.

c) Sony will ship a completely different, restricted scope OS likely based on a cut down Linux or variant of their PS4/5 BSD-derived Orbis OS. This is less likely than the modified Android, but far more likely than the naked Android tablet shown above. It would fit the branding and ethos that Playstation tries to exude and probably increase the difficulty of hacking even higher, but the design of this device does not strike me as being in the scope/budget of porting over their console OS to mobile ARM hardware. They are very clear about this being a companion device, likely just to test the waters of making handhelds again, with a lower scale target to reach (video and input streaming) than actually including another power target for their entire platform SDK (committing to a Switch style platform halfway through the console cycle or adding the equivalent of a PS Vita in an era of developers barely being able to target 1 console SKU competently, let alone 2).

Either way, this mf ugg-leee.

If you build it, bots will come. 'Twas inevitably a more pressing concern when you suddenly have 30 mil+ signups in less than 2 weeks.

Hopefully our admin communities will handle our bot waves strongly.

I am no longer apathetic but livid

Fuck u/spez.

IME it only works for the initial tweet; can't see any replies or suggested tweets. Might just be enough to keep their search traffic up, but it's still enough that I don't think people should link to Twitter anymore.

It really sucks that we're facing the digital equivalent of climate change with regards to the internet and the content economy on top of the decline of the actual economy and actual climate change. It's all so much.

Seems like a rather large shitpost, but I encourage them to cause chaos by any means necessary (feasibility be damned).
