For the majority of commenters: UX is not UI.

The poor UX experience is the research a person has to do before they can even participate. You need to have a basic understanding of how the network works, and then you have to shop around for a server.

It’s enough friction to prevent people from on-boarding and that’s not good for a platform that needs people to be valuable.

They didn’t, they signed up for gmail.

They actually sell a service where you can buy a domain name and have it set as your username.

It’s not centralized, it’s also not a federated network like AP. It’s just a different design.

Not quite true. You can host your own personal data store (PDS), run your own labelling service, and you can host your own feeds.

The big relays and app views are the only thing that aren’t really supported by the official app yet.

.... this might just be in Firefox, I have no idea.

 

I just noticed two finger scrolling with my touchpad now has momentum... I haven't noticed this in other distros and I forgot how much I missed it since moving from macOS. Hell yeah, amazing work folks!

I can’t believe more people aren’t talking about it! I was shocked to see the logo on that page!

I forget the author, but The Immortal Game is both. It discusses chess history, but also tells the story of a famous game that took place in a pub after hours during a major chess tournament. Probably a little more on the informative side but I really liked it.

I swear that half the reason I want one of these is because the updates look so exciting for y’all. Really happy for steam deck owners.

If the next console is backwards compatible it will be a day one purchase from me. All I want is a Super Switch.

I remember playing the GBC Dragon Warrior Monsters game and being totally enthralled by it.

I had no fucking idea what was going on, and I didn’t come close to beating it, but it was fun.

I really need audio mixers to understand most people are broke as fuck.
