You can kind of get that on Kbin, though it shunts all the Mastodon stuff over to the "Microblogging" section. Also it's not exactly bug free right now: a lot of the time you won't see all of the replies to a post, especially if they're replies to replies (and so on and so forth).

The idea is there though, and the devs are working on it constantly, so one day it should work correctly.

This whole post screams "asshole who got banned for being an asshole tries to smear admin who banned them" at this point, yeah.

Or put it another way, quality over quantity.

I can't imagine that still won't violate both store policies.

That too!

Still beats Samsung's default keyboard on Android devices though. *shudder*

Would you accept "it's the actual devil but also it's buggy"?

Talk to your ISP about getting a modem only, without a built-in router, then purchase a separate router of your own. All-in-one modem/router combos are generally kind of crap anyway, and one that your ISP can control directly is obviously a problem on top of that. I get why they'd do that: most users don't know a damn thing about how to properly set up their network, and being able to change settings without walking the users through it would simplify things. Still crap, but I get why.

Even if you have to buy your own modem, definitely go for a modem-only device and a separate router. Personally I go the extra length of having a modem, a separate wired-only router, and a separate wireless access point for wifi. Combo devices have a habit of not managing memory well and needing to be reset more often.

Pretty sure this is a bug. Gboard can freak out after an update and stop working. Sometimes you need to reinstall Gboard, sometimes switching your language to English makes it work again, sometimes it's the TV freaking out over some USB device that needs to be unplugged and replugged.

Imagine becoming a fed because you want to uphold the law and chase down bad guys, figuring you're going to be tracking down drug dealers and human traffickers and mafia goons, and instead you get tasked with running down Karen and Cletus who decided to firebomb a house based on something they read on RealTruthPatriotNewsDaily-dot-net.

I think there was a brief time with algorithmic feeds were actually good, and I remember getting quite a few recommendations from news aggregators and the like which actually were of interest to me, but those days are long gone. These days... no.

Odd example here, but bear with me: I have a separate Twitter account just for following *ahem* adult content. Even before Elno bought them out the "For You" section was completely nonsensical. I followed nothing but adult artists and performers showing T&A, and every 8th entry in my "For You" feed was Sports or Politics or rage-bait in general. It wasn't what I wanted, it was what Twitter wanted me to want.

I have half a mind to start releasing cracks just so there’s 1 cracker who isn’t a fucking bigot.

I have had this exact thought, but that would undoubtedly eat up what little free time I have these days. I don't have as much of it as I used to.

I trust Oracle... to find a way to charge me an arm and a leg and a spleen for basic functionality.
