The idea that because they are “open,” things like Mastodon and Pixelfed do not stand to benefit from addiction to their products, and are therefore not incentivized to make their products addictive, is not tenable.

Where do people buy new DVDs/Blu-rays? I wanted a copy of American Movie so I bought it at Amoeba — any other independent places like that with a big catalog?

With great skepticism I put on “Hundreds of Beavers” to see what all the fuss was about.

At a theater I would have absolutely walked out on this before ten minutes were up.

In a nearby parallel universe, #RSS readers are commonplace and as natural a part of a mobile OS’s default suite of apps as a browser or email client.

An “add to reader” button in a browser, and a reader app that shows you content from websites you’ve added in reverse chronological order.

This was so close to being a reality for non-tech people!!

It depends on your library I guess, but Kanopy has so much great stuff on it that you could probably get away with it being your only streaming service.

Are there any good cheap boxes for long-term vinyl storage someone can recommend?

When quote-posts become baked into #Mastodon and available via the API, I hope clients stop fetching quoted posts on their own.

Part of Mastodon’s implementation will be the ability for people to prevent quote-posting of their content, and to “withdraw” their posts from anywhere they were quoted.

“Faking” quote-posts by merely fetching the post object from within the client will not respect these preferences and intentions of the quoted user.

A while ago, I think it was on here that I saw it, someone posted some black-and-white profile picture/avatar illustrations they were commissioning. Does anybody remember who that was? They were kind of like “Notion-style” black outline drawings on white.

I have an idea for getting rid of the camera bump:

Make it the entire back of the phone.

Has anybody talked about the possibility that it’s easier to get trapped in a cycle of checking things on your phone because the screen is so small?

On a large desktop monitor it’s easier to feel like you’ve seen everything and it’s all taken care of. Nearly everything important can be visible at once. “Yep, there’s my mail, there’s my social media, there’s the project I’ve been working on. That’s it!”
