I don’t already know who I want to follow though. What do I search for?
BTW these are things I have actually discussed with people when they are trying to look into fediverse stuff. They don’t want to know how it works. They just want to open up their devices and turn their brains off.
Which is probably a good thing for federated services as it filters out a bunch of people we probably don’t want here. It’s like a test to join.
My issue with starter packs is I don’t want to commit. What if I pick the wrong one? What if I pick the wrong one instance!?
The anxiety of picking the wrong instance is a design failure. Content discovery shouldn’t depend on getting that choice right.
The fediverse needs a better content discovery/curation infrastructure.
Art of the Deal ladies and gentlemen!
He’s trying to wrap it all under SpaceX and walk away with a bag when it goes public.
And these new people are pissed and know with absolute certainty that you can’t be trusted. What could go wrong?
Passkeys are just public and private keys. They have been securing the internet for decades.
Yeah, very likely. I suppose the product focus will be government/military. They will get the AI find people to disappear or pick bombing targets. That’s apparently a profitable endeavor.
… and the billionaires draft the laws.
OMG that’s disgusting! Where? Where did they post that? Which site?
I switched to linear because trello got so bad. Jira has become bloated and impractical.
Yeah that’s what I mean by extra work. I can make the change myself or I can argue with claude code until it does what I want.
Product managers are constantly pushing for new features. Those break and break things around them.
Or I suppose add extra work by walking an AI tool through making small incremental changes.
Fair. But what if they completely eliminate the ability to buy hardware? like only selling to the AI fucks? Do grandparents not get phone plans for example?
I would be surprised if this WASN’T a conspiracy among all the billionaires in their secret clubs.
It’s never taken off because of relatively inexpensive and abundant hardware. But these will be attractive to people who need something now and want something inexpensive.
Grandparents are the immediate target but eventually if they force the hardware supply shortages soon some people will need something.
Imagine students with low budget.
The next 5 years are going to be really interesting.
Without all the guardrails it would do that now with all the training data it has.
Yeah, I am just saying some of the things I have heard. People don’t want the cognitive overhead of having to make decisions before trying a thing. They just wanna sign up and look around get a feel for something before deciding to dive in.
Mastodon in particular has a steep onboarding process. In order to get it useful you have too
There isn’t an easy way to stumble into new things. I found it tedious and others I have spoken with have said the same. I suppose Mastodon isn’t for me (hence why I am here).
