@nprofile…8udf @nprofile…pze5 Oh interesting! Are you self-hosting it?

Looking at non-US tech alternatives. Have any of ye fine folk used Jottacloud?

Super congrats to @nprofile…v2kx for this very cool announcement trailer for The Séance at Blake Manor (formerly known as Eldritch House).
Anybody up for a noir detective adventure game with a kickass art style set in 1897 Connemara? I worked on the demo the team shopped around, and was one of the coders who started the project. Can't wait to play it!

I’ve been saying this as well. If you use Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Meta, Adobe, Salesforce or Google for your business, you’re at risk.

https://youtu.be/lYaDXZ2MI-k?si=jkFodhsKLFfCDCc_ I haven’t finished it yet but I’m about halfway through this documentary on #Wargaming by #PeopleMakeGames and it’s incredible. They continue to raise the bar of discourse.

This is such a brutal, clear-headed, merciless and cold-blooded takedown of #AI hype. https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-weekend-essay/why-ai-isnt-going-to-make-art It also perfectly explains this iron-clad belief I’ve had since the start that trying to use #genAI to make anything worthwhile misses the point. It can never be good enough. Even if it tricks you.

#Apple’s petty capriciousness is honestly just embarrassing at this point. Oh my god. Pull yourselves together. Also, abusing your market power so openly is the kind of thing that’ll get you fined a gazillion dollars by the EU. Maybe their strategy is to withdraw? As an EU citizen and longtime Apple customer, I say: fine.

Those petty little babies. I really, really hope the #EU comes down on #Apple like a pile of bricks for this bullshit. #DMA

I really like the vibes on mastodon, but I do feel that it's just not as sticky for me as Twitter was back when it was fun. It feels like a few different factors:
1. It feels less realtime – Twitter used to thrum with the pulse of what was currently happening (that people on Twitter cared about). Watching Jan 6th or the last two Irish referenda unfolding on Twitter was captivating and kicked any news site into orbit. Mastodon feels a little less focused (which isn't a bad or good thing, imo).
