The current hype of genocide you mean?

"What I think it should be"

That's a little bit arrogant no?

TIL. There's a bug with the text editor where cursor will jump towards the last line. Really annoying and I think it's still not being fixed yet. Had to scour through Github issue to find the fix.

Last I checked, the push notifications that are masquerading as native popup asking user to install “antivirus” are all on web.

> Twitter was about ephemeral day to day life

This is what I like about Mastodon now. People(including me) posting about their mundane life.

There's no "growth hacker" looking to game the algorithm, there's no listicle about JS and the algorithm didn't try to push for the latest "viral dumb takes" to you.

Does this applies to app like Buffer?

I used to be against touchscreen Macs but after they implemented Universal Control I find myself mindlessly touching my screen to quickly close applications, muting the mic on Teams, etc.

I guess this will do well for people who use iPad as their second monitor?

Migrated to Mastodon and so far I like it much better than Twitter.

The iOS communities I followed on Twitter have been posting regularly on Mastodon which is great.

Most important of all, there's no algorithm on the timeline trying to push the latest viral stupid statements and rage-inducing drama to keep users engaged. I have block and mute so much accounts and word yet Twitter still manage to show it on my timeline.

Is it because it's actually riddle with bugs or just that most devs built on top of features only available on Chrome?

I find the timing of the announcement somewhat interesting. Just right when SBF is en route to NY.

I think this is possible on the Mastodon app. There's an option to login to multiple accounts but I haven't try it yet since I only have a single account.

That's basically a classic "problem" whenever a new software engineer joins a new company.

"Everyone else code is shit except me. I don't want to waste my time reading the code." kind of scenario.

Well that was quick. Can't even last for 12 weeks.
