This is a wild template

Or perhaps just read a book -> based

The Japanese smartphone market is infamously very hostile. Impressive that a newcomer like Google managed to thrive there.

Does Apple Wallet have an API? It honestly feels like Google Wallet is just working towards copying all the Apple Wallet features slowly but surely.

Looks beautiful

I use Hannah Montana Linux btw

Federation with Meta will probably not have a huge effect on Lemmy. Threads has no communities after all.

It will probably be mostly a Mastodon thing.

That is the case for every PWA from every browser afaik.

Both Firefox and Kiwi PWA seem go ignore your default browser selection

I am pro-fediverse, so I guess making Mastodon atleast as easy to use as Threads is a must.

If you look at statistics, Mastodon always gains a massive amount of users, when Twitter does something stupid. Most of these also return back to Twitter, the moment they realize, that Mastodon has no VIPs.

If Threads integrates well with ActivityPub, then people on Mastodon will be more likely to stay, because Threads gives fediverse users access to the VIPs, that they used Twitter for in the first place. This stops people from leaving Mastodon in the short term.

In the long term Mastodon needs to advertise itself to younger people, because nowadays this is the only way for new social media platforms to establish themselves.

That's how TikTok, SnapChat and Instagram became popular. This would make Mastodon fresh, while Twitter would transform into a graveyard like facebook.

Also having more tech companies, media orgs, cultural orgs, universities and maybe even governments host their instances, would make the federated aspect stronger and the whole fediverse more scalable.

Hopefully Threads can tank all the lawsuits from Twitter, so that Mastodon can operate in peace lol.

I wonder tho, how much Threads has copied from Mastodon

Mastodon is a bubble. You have primarily highly educated, tech-literate nerds on that platform.

Obviously people are more civil and polite there, than some raging uneducated losers and trolls on facebook.

As the fediverse grows, the userbase will obviously lose this current isolated tech-wizard school vibe, and feel more like going into a random pub in a big city. Regardless if Meta joins the fediverse or not.

Threads is a Twitter competitor. Same applies to Mastodon.

Twitter is only useful because companies, celebrities amd politicians embrace it. Nobody cares about ordinary Twitter users. Twitter is a platform for networking with people in the industry and announcing stuff to customers.

Mastodon right now is not an alternative to Twitter, because there is practically nobody important there.

Threads has better chances to overcome this and has already in a few hours pulled more VIPs onto their platform, than Mastodon in multiple years.

XMPP was extremely niche before Google and it is slightly less niche right now. It did not die.

You can not destroy the fediverse with EEE in my opinion.

I mean Tumblr also wants to join the fediverse. They are smaller than Twitter, but still large to have some amount of influence.

Meta gets all the data as well, even if all people defederate.

ActivityPub has it in the name. All your activities in the fediverse are public.

The article talks about private data saved on your phone like health data, contacts etc. Threads takes those, Mastodon app does not.

As the fediverse grows, there will inevitably be more centralized instances. Every big tech corp may want to start their own instance, similar to how most tech corps provide their own mail services.

There are millions of email service providers, but Gmail and Outlook are synonymous to email for a large amount of people.

Defederating with Meta and Tumblr is like Protonmail blocking every mail from Gmail. You just cripple yourself and make your instance useless.

yeah, that's going to be my phone of choice as well, after my Galaxy S9 dies.

When I used Facebook a few years ago, my feed was mostly memes, ads and personal posts from friends and family.

Maybe I never got the ragebait political stuff, because everyone in my friend circle wasn't keen on being the sad guy that publicly yells at clouds on facebook.

Popular hashtags on Twitter and to some extend even on Mastodon, just makes you feel bad for the mental health of these perma-raging users tho.

Political spaces in general on every social platform are just magnets for misery.

"Ragefarming" and "algorithmically filtering for rage" just means sorting by thread activity. Mastodon already does this.

American drivers licenses are basically just EU style ID cards. For new licenses you even need biometric data. State IDs and the "Passport Card" are (somewhat obscure) alternatives.

Europeans only need to apply for ID cards at around the age, were the average American gets their driver's license.

A young American adult is probably almost just as identifiable by their government, as a young European adult would be by theirs.

Seeing regulations like the REAL ID act, I would say that America is headed towards more identification, rather than less.

Hardware-wise: Samsung Galaxy S series or Sony Xperia

Software-wise: Google Pixel >>>>> Fairphone > OnePlus

I use the Kiwi Browser for that. Open source browser with addon support. Is Chromium-based tho.

PWAs don't work correctly in non-Chromium browsers. Firefox does not officially support them.

The gatekeepers of the website are like big babies towards "unbased food trends" like vegetarian or vegan stuff.

Basically anything that could not be found in a 18th century inn is unbased for them.

Otherwise a great idea for a site tho.

Doesn't every American have a social security number? That's basically a national ID, just without any security features tho.

They live in Japan, so the worst that could happen is them getting banned I reckon

Maybe you could try to convince through other features, like sending sharper images, videos, audio messages or video calling etc.

If you get closer with her friend circle (or if she gets closer to your friend circle), you could propose to make a group chat, where you can keep each other up to date or plan future activities together. Your wife will probably not want to miss out on that.

Don't talk about encryption or security to normal people, who are not into tech. They do not care. Only talk about features, that they can actually use, and only in situations were this would be useful. Don't be preachy about your messenger use, don't make them feel stupid.

How did that happen? Have you all used Signal from the beginning or did you switch over from something else

Apparently there was/is a messaging service somewhere hidden in the core Fi service. I just copy pasted this list from someone else tho. No idea how accurate this is.

Believe it or not, I have not actually used all these services on the list lol

I don't get it. Are Google employees completely ignoring all the negative press their messaging apps get?

Everyone online agrees, that all these messaging apps that Google keeps pumping, just hurt each other.

OpenStreetMap. Google Maps is probably the best product in the field tho, even among paid solutions.

Redesigns are always perceived poorly. Every decrease in performance, every lost feature, every relocated setting is heavily felt by all the power-users. For new users tho, K9 probably became more viable/attractive.

Eventually people will get used to the design, performance issues will get fixed, new features will be (re)added and the rating will improve again.

Same thing happened with the Firefox Android Browser.

For me personally, K9's design seemed very unintuitive and complicated, when I first tried it almost 10 years ago. FairEmail for me is a great compromise between usability and feature-richness.

K9 is probably completely different from a decade ago, but I guess I will wait until K9 has merged completely with Thunderbird, before I look into it again.

If you consider life action adaptations as remakes, aren't most animes just remakes of manga or light novel stories?

But yeah, if I already "consumed" one version of a show/movie/series, I will probably skip the newer one as well, especially if the new version has no interesting twist or change. Though I do like to watch remakes together with friends and family, who are new to this franchise. (if the reviews are good)

As for Trigun, the remake seems to be completely different from the old anime. That's why I plan to watch the Trigun remake as well.

The original Spice and Wolf anime never finished and the last episode came out almost 15 years ago. I liked the original, but I don't remember enough to watch a new season that continues where season 3 left off 15 years ago. A fresh remake, where the studio can use their modern tools as they wish, makes the most sense here.

Remakes and reboots in animes are still quite rare though.

Alles was hinter einer Paywall ist, kann sowieso keine wichtige Info sein. Falls sie doch wichtig ist, bietet jemand im Internet eine Möglichkeit an, sie zu umgehen.

Genossenschaft sieht interessant aus. Kp ob man dass überall nachmachen kann. Auf dem ersten Blick sieht taz aus wie eine Abo-finanzierte Zeitung, denen Profite egal sind und gleichzeitig Glück haben keine Verluste zu machen.

For me it's American Gods by Terry Pratchett

Tbh pirating closed source software is as easy, as installing forked code. Maybe you could add a non-competition clause to a new open source license, so that the original FOSS software company has the legal high ground over anyone that undersells them.
