Absolutely must haves for me personally, I use each probably daily. I don't carry any cards with me and exclusively use tap to pay.

Their GM has also been fired apparently

Bluesky is apart of the Fediverse and the quicker ActivityPub sites accommodate that fact the quicker we'll have an open internet.

This pissing fight between ActivityPub sites and Bluesky is dumb and doesn't further an open internet.

Not directed at you but to a lot, go put time into making Mastodon compatible with atProto instead of bitching.

Relevant videos if anyone wants to see the violence for themselves. Its an absolute joke that most US media sources are framing this as a "Clash" or "Violence erupts". This is an attack on peaceful protestors.

From the Brave PR account:

Also I believe it was legally required by the EU. List is randomized.

Battery powered cars are likely to do the same thing. We are at the point were we are realizing that this won't scale up.

This is a very Western (US especially) argument. All across major cities in the East, China specifically you're already seeing major cities becoming increasingly electrified far far beyond what is both being done in the US currently and what is capable of being done by the US in the next 10 years.

China is definitely not one of the highest polluters per capita. And that's also taking into the fact that most of the Western world is produced there.

I generally do this for all my media, but I will never do this for music, there's just such a huge lack of discoverability. Are you just never seeking out new music on the fly?

Your subscribed will be the same. All will differ as it grabs everything everyone on that instance is subscribed to.

Ex. If you're on lemmyworld you'll see everything there by default but if you swap to instance X and nobody in x is subbed to niche.community@lemmyworld then it won't be brought to your All

Off topic question, don't you guys think splintering the Android community into multiple communities specifically for certain things when there are so few people on the Lemmy platform will lead to the instance becoming driy without content? Not sure if there's been discussion about this yet.

It's also important to note that Google is doing this already as well. It's almost impossible to use Google with my VPN provider as I'm slammed with 5 captchas every Google.

Ironically the two are only half way competing with each other. There's two buckets of twitter peeps:

A) People who keep up with specific people, reducing day by day.

B) The for you page peeps. The vast majority of people I know on Twitter including myself are there for the algorithm feeding us memes and content. Specifically the 2016-2021 algorithm.

Considering mastodon doesn't have any form of FYP/For you it's really only competing for bucket A which in my experience has reduced by an incredible amount in the past few years and continues to reduce and makes it useless to a large majority of twitter users.

Unfortunately or fortunately twitters algorithm also sucks now so there's a pretty big market gap here.
