Now, if only iOS would allow true Safari alternatives. 🥲

I think there will be more activity once they add more features. It’s very bare-bones right now. I honestly like the app, though, all things considered. I hate Facebook/Meta, but it’s been a nice app to just scroll through, and there’s been enough content to use it as a time killer. They desperately need a proper search feature and a trending page, though, especially if they ever hope to fully replace Twitter. Overall, I like it more than both Mastodon and Bluesky, because discoverability is so awful on Mastodon and Bluesky doesn’t have enough users and content because they haven’t gone public yet. And I very much like the idea and structure of Mastodon much more (with it being open source and federated), but the user experience has been so bad for me, with discoverability being the worst aspect of it.

There was a lawsuit regarding this just recently, where a student successfully sued over a room scan for an exam. It’s absolutely ridiculous and shouldn’t be tolerated by any student.

It helps support creators more than ads, at least on an individual level; a portion of your subscription goes to the creators that you actually watch, or at least that's what I've heard. Other than that, just YouTube Music and higher bitrate playback.

Personification is a very normal and natural human thing. Very likely an evolutionary adaptation. We see ourselves in nearly everything as humans.

I don't play many games, but Stray was one of the best that I've ever played, honestly. Not too long, emotionally satisfying with equally satisfying gameplay.

100% my biggest gripe as well. It's honestly a huge issue that needs to be addressed. I will never understand why the people that continuously put their stuff behind Discord's walls can't see that, and I don't know why Discord is their first choice for dumping information.

Intellectual property in general is a ridiculous concept.
