Supposedly he's gonna add kbin support also. I hope he changes the name to be more broad, like Sync for Fediverse. Or Synciverse or something.

Interesting. For some reason kbin sounds better than lemmy to me, but don't super love either.

Saying they should do something isn't a demand. To me, it'd be more akin to the EU sharing currency, various regulations, etc. It just makes things easier for those within it and tends to be mutually beneficial, but it does take same to find agreements that every member is cool with.

AI summary:

  • Brave Browser has marketed itself as a privacy-preserving web browser and has gained attention from cryptocurrency enthusiasts.
  • The company behind Brave, founded by Brendan Eich, faced backlash due to Eich's previous donation in support of California's Proposition 8, which aimed to ban same-sex marriage.
  • Brave initially planned to replace ads with its own ad units and split revenue with publishers, but this idea was met with legal issues and criticism from both inside and outside the company.
  • Brave introduced Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) as a way to reward users for viewing ads and content, but the rewards are minimal and the value of BAT is volatile.
  • Brave has incorporated various cryptocurrency-related features, including a full crypto wallet, but many of its crypto partners have faced controversies and scandals.
  • Brave was involved in a privacy scandal in which affiliate codes were added to URLs typed into the address bar, allowing the company to collect revenue from user signups or purchases.
  • The article concludes that Brave is a flawed software project and should not be used, recommending Firefox or Vivaldi as privacy-focused alternatives.

That's a decent solution, but unfortunately doesn't have handy podcast app features like silence trimming, voice boosting, etc. Great suggestion though!

That works. F-Droid is an alternative to the Play store. You can also download the .apk directly instead if you prefer. Just scroll down to the versions and find the most recent.

@NudelnAlDente Not sure there's really any set ways, but I'd personally use a microblog with hashtags if I wanted some reach beyond kbin or the community I'm posting to. That said, it seems like folks on kbin might favor threads in general, perhaps because it's most similar the posts on Reddit where many of us have come from.

I'll admit I do. And I won't like, I'll still append "Reddit" to my searches as needed. I'm just not really actively contributing or anything there anymore, which is sad

Do you mean other instances of kbin, or other fediverse sites?

They allow users to make their own shortcuts to a custom selection of subreddits and view them sort of as if they were a single subreddit.

Yep, this is just pure sensationalism, problems with Meta/Threads aside.

It's possible for mods to make themes that correspond to each specific kbin theme selection. Maybe I nee to write up a post and share how to do it.

I don't think the author is saying this necessarily should or shouldn't be the case. The authors who wrote the paper he's referring to just set out to answer the question based on their constitutional knowledge and this is the conclusion they came to. They aren't even left wing either, these are Federalist Society associates.

Pretty cool, especially considering how it's been shown that WiFi can be used to pretty accurately determine the position and number of people in a room with AI.

I think this could all be solved easily with some quick onboarding explaining terms when a user signs up.

Come on folks, where's that MySpace/Xanga/Geocities spirit‽ Maybe younger folks here weren't active online at that time. Sad we've lost that a bit online. Lots of people learned lots of stuff to make their pages look cool.
