Wow, these are really great updates! I especially like the improved UX around sign up and opening links on servers other than our native one.

OS: Linux, Arch (btw).
FTFY
I see, makes sense. So if I get it correctly, the idea is to make it easier for new people to join the fediverse, and not so much to improve the experience for those of us already here (although it seems that is also a goal).
But why is that such a great benefit? We already have a myriad accounts for different services/platforms; would this be merely a marginal improvement over the current situation?
Damn, that seems to be flagrantly anti-competitive. Has Microsoft attempted to justify why they do that?
apparently there’s meshing between the two fediverse projects, given that they use the same platform.
What are you referring to exactly? Sounds a bit like kbin but I get the sense that’s not what you’re talking about.
Thanks for putting down my vague impression into clear words. I couldn’t agree more!
Not at all! Just like with price, the difference between zero and one is hugely more consequential than any extra dollar added. Think of it: if you see a community with no posts in the last hour, or day, it does feel a bit deserted. Or a post without comments. By adding a post, or the first comment, you can be the difference for the next guy’s impression, and encourage them to do the same, and then the ball gets rolling, and that’s how you get momentum.
You know what, I had paid for the lifetime pro mode in sync for reddit, and usually prefer one-time payments to recurring subscriptions, but I chose to go with the recurring ultra subscription this time, to contribute to your regular financial stability. Your dedication is commendable. Thanks for all the work you’ve done over the years!
Workflowy and Teuxdeux are two web apps where I spend an embarrassingly large amount of my time online. I wish there were FOSS alternatives because I would happily contribute features and fixes to the issues I bump into in my daily usage.
I wonder why you have a 🍑 app recommendation… 😛
Wait, really? I just spent several minutes repeatedly going back to the settings as I navigated the app, to restore my setup to the look and feel I had in sync for reddit 🤦
While more smarts in natural language understanding would be welcome, I don’t feel like that’s what the assistant is missing the most. The biggest advantage that google assistant has is the potential for tight integration with the system (Android). IMHO it would pay off to make it more capable in terms of interacting with existing apps, setting up flows of actions, etc., than necessarily making it be able to communicate more fluently.
And with a file browser sidebar 🤦
What do you mean? It’s right in the lead section:
