FOSS, GPLv3, and M1+Linux support on day one along with major updates to the website! As someone with the majority of their playtime on bedrock, the direction of the java scene is always amazing to see.

I enjoyed FitMC’s video covering the topic in relation to the 2b2t server

More recently Habitica and Goodtime have been instrumental in the way that I approach productivity

• Habitica is a habit tracker/to-do list that lets you treat your life as an RPG, and provides me the extrinsic motivation of “I want to level up” that pushes me to accomplish tasks that I otherwise would have been lax on
• Goodtime is simply the best pomodoro app that I’ve found that has a minimalist interface, configurable timers (on the fly), and robust statistics monitoring (with the option to export to CSV)

In combination they’ve helped me move my daily focus into more deep and focused work, rather than trudging around and getting distracted by whatever catches my eye

Football manager looks like

The sentence itself is a little ambiguous but it’s nothing major, it’s easy enough to get the message from context

Bluetooth users are seething right now. Love this trope

That’s the funny part, it works because […]

I think you misinterpreted what they said. They meant “Their attitude changed towards open source because [Embrace, Extend, Extinguish] doesn’t work”

A lot of people aren’t really ideologically opposed to Meta, they’re just on Mastodon since it’s there’s less friction to use it than Twitter (see rise of Bluesky). Threads will “fix” a lot of issues people have with Mastodon (CW, no algorithm, inability to advertise, instances moving/going under) and they’ll move without thinking anything of it since they can still access all of their Mastodon content

Of course the move back isn’t going to be as easy, I doubt Meta is going to implement robust account migration, and then the easier choice is to stay on Threads. This is also ignoring the incompatibilities improvements to ActivityPub that Meta will introduce later on in Meta’s lifespan, which will be poorly documented and rapidly changing if they open it up at all

Even if many Mastodon users don’t switch immediately, this is enough to hamper the long term growth/health of the platform

Suprise RKO from the back of the ring I can’t take this

noooooo it’s over Kanabros

Yup, all browsers on iOS are restricted to WebKit and might as well be Safari-lite

Beyond the general app recommendations, here’s some more advice

1. Take a moment to read fedi.tips

2. Hashtags are your friend. Follow them. Use them. Capitalize each word in them

3. You will miss things. That is the point

4. For accounts you don’t want to miss, click the bell in the profile or make a list

5. Boost the toots!

6. Be here to make connections

7. No algorithm means post what you want

8. Add alt-text to images
