Its great, I’d argue its main downfall (lack of popularity) stems a lot from the fact they don’t have any form of API like Wikipedia does. They can’t even agree on a single logo. Otherwise its a great resource.

2·2 years agoSaying it works is very generous.
28·2 years agoHonestly if anyone gives them their money at this point. That’s on them.
5·2 years agoIts the absolute lack of algorithm. No, really. I know Mastodon toots it as a feature, but without an algorithm to keep people scrolling most people just close the app and do something else. People who don’t understand instances would just go to mastodon.social anyway, but since no mastodon instance is actively trying to keep its users engaged 24/7, people naturally realize they have better things to do than to use social media all say.
Which is better for humanity, but bad for retention.
Damn this unearthed some memories, gotta check their channels out later
2·2 years agoProbably impossible but I wonder if it will finally get to the part with the half animal people (the last arc).
“But you are an English major”
TIL Gainax was still around
5·2 years agoOne day we’ll get VLC 4.
The only issue for Firefox’s translator currently is the time it takes to load at first, or the fact you have to download each model first. Its not some monumental task, but it does have more friction than Google’s “automatically send the site you are browsing to our server”
This is actually one of the few cases where it makes sense. Its for alt-text for people who browse with TTS
Isn’t it cause its the handle of the main dev?
Don’t forget Plants vs Zombies 2. Which despite some micro transactions, definitely held up in its early days. Rather, I’d say it got do either dirty from balancing issues rather than greed.
3·2 years agoLemmy still tends to show posts from ages ago in hot, so some slip by
Does it have the option of using TPM to unlock a LUKS2 encrypted partition like the previous betas? Or was that dropped?
And also the maintainers being too trusting. They openly discussed pirate ROMs in the server and such.
It really has been almost 20 years huh
It would be pretty useless as it is. Even for them. Federation only really mattered for a few people (us), most of their userbase doesn’t care or know so its not like it was meant to be a hook to lead them in.
3·2 years agoMaybe its cause its corporate backed instead of some guys? As in, they have tech support and people to sue.
Wake me up when they finally bring up the UI to modern standards
