A Song of Ice and Fire - first editions of each book
  • I have given up on this series. I’m not even sure I would read the next book if it was released tomorrow. Maybe if the series is ever fully released I might reread it from the beginning to end. It’s like if Netflix published books.

  • Sony Working on Handheld Console for PS5 Games to Rival Switch
  • There is a difference between the PS5 Pro and the PS5. The same for Xbox Series X and S. they can make a PS5 handheld, which would just be a “lite version” especially in a year or two. And Sony can let developers have the time to adjust their game for a lower powered version.

  • Email alias through ProtonPass or DuckDuckGo?
  • I think both solutions are probably reasonable secure. Personally I use the proton solution, because I like that my data is in Europe and I prefer to pay for services. I like the more transparent and honest business where I pay and get something in return.

  • The rebellion will be federated
  • We also have to stop thinking that everything has to grow fast, and lose hope just because it’s not. Change take a really long time. Sometimes decades. Silicon Valley are obsessed with fast growth because it’s all driven by the promise of easy money. No need to adopt their mindset. Look how fast their products turn to shit.

    This is how I plan to rebel against the tech barons and kleptocrats for the next 4 years: through activism, education and FLOSS

  • But is this actually a problem. Does people go around now and need proof that they bought some property?

    To me it seems like blockchain is a solution looking for problems that doesn’t really exist.

    Valve has created a Steam Bluesky account
  • I really enjoy Mastodon, but it seems to be too confusing with all the servers. I don’t know why, but maybe because people have been conditioned by big tech to use centralised services. Especially Gen Z that grew up with this very big tech controlled internet.

  • Bluesky, decentralisation, and the distribution of
  • Keep doing what you are doing. I’m sure people will suddenly care deeply about software licenses if you shame them enough. They probably don’t have other shit in their life to worry about. It’s really constructive.

  • Bluesky, decentralisation, and the distribution of
  • Maybe Mastodon should take a moment to learn something. Everybody on Reddit is praising all the moderation capabilities of Bluesky, the ability to create block lists and starter packs. The way you can verify your user by using your own domain as a handle.

    Instead of complaining about users, which is pointless, make Mastodon better. Users won’t come to Mastodon by shaming them for being stupid.

    Are right wingers creating FUD around Signal?

    hachyderm.io Paul Cantrell (@inthehands@hachyderm.io)

The useful information is that a hideous, powerful, right-wing crank — or whoever’s yanking his chain — really, rea...
