Bluesky also has no algorithm in its “followed” feed. Any algorithm is opt-in.

What do you expect for ten cents?

Looking and doing are two different things, but I’m sure this will increase too. I left under Bush after the 2000 financial crisis and have no regrets.

It’s more like a better Twitter

Mastodon and Xitter are missing a lot of the quality of life features of Bluesky.

• Good user verification
• Add lists
• Block lists
• Subscribable topic feeds
• Configurable algorithms

These things make Bluesky very easy to get started with and more powerful even than Xitter was. It’s simply a better product if you have any requirements other than federation. Getting a good feed up and running doesn’t take more than an hour or two. It’s basically possible now on Twitter and it’s very difficult on Mastodon.

Yes, its federation is more or less bullshit, but for most users, that feature is a distant priority when compared to the rest.

It just gives you a checkmark, nothing else AFAIK.

You put a snippet of code on your website.

Bluesky has some very powerful features here like auto updating block lists which you can subscribe to and which will automatically remove trolls for you. And they are policing hate speech and harassment.

I use both and Mastodon is missing a lot of the quality of life features of Bluesky.

I wish it were otherwise, but that’s just the way it is.

Except the walk is happening. Bluesky feels way more thriving to me than Xitter already.

I’m not being hyperbolic. The only thing that affects my performance is swap. On my 64gb 2018 mini, everything is instant. On my 16gb 2020 MacBook, even just opening more than 100 browser tabs makes the whole computer unusable. Give me a 16gb m4 and I will happily record a video for you of a usual day at about 40gb memory consumption and send it back.

I’m dead serious. CPU and GPU ceased being bottlenecks for most non gaming or video editing workflows a long time ago. The only one left is RAM, and Apple exploits that. By now all Macs should have 64gb as minimum config based on the actual part costs.

We can at least agree on Spider Man and TW3 ;-).

Far cry 3 did have memorable characters but IMHO BOTW is a vastly more enjoyable game to play. The difference in gameplay is massive to me. I never finished Far Cry 3 as it was tedius to play, whereas I happily finished BOTW enjoying every minute.

My 2018 Mac mini (the last model with upgradable ram) has 64gb and it’s way faster than any m4 without 64gb. I will keep it until it’s completely untenable to do so. Minimum 10 years, I’m hoping I can manage 15-20. Maybe by then I’ll actually be able to afford a new Mac with 64gb or more.

I need the same but for Mastodon, does anyone know of anything that’s still working?

I loved BOTW and in any year without BG3 as competition, I would totally accept it as GOTY. But BG3 is just totally on another level.

IMHO BG3 completely destroyed the curve. Even if you don’t like the genre, you have to tip your hat to what was accomplished in that game. It blew away Skyrim, Fallout 3, and all the classics in the genre and completely set a new level. The last time I was that impressed with a game was probably Ultima IV.

The only upgrade that matters for most non-gaming or video production use cases any more is RAM anyway.

Try living in a small country, there’s tons of stuff like that.
