I really hope this gets a proper foss “for you” algo. Personalized content and people discovery features are lacking on the fediverse.

Why not just disable the Ubuntu pro ads in the mean time?

Israel has perpetuated 80% of the cross-border attacks for the past year, but sure please tell me again how Hezbollah, which was established as a direct result of Israeli aggression, are the ones who should stop. That’s insane.

An enshittified Lemmy alternative.

I’m only on the fediverse but I miss algorithms. Recommended accounts (which to be fair exists on a corner of Mastodon), similar accounts to one you just followed, custom home feed, suggested posts, etc. Discoverability sucks on fedi and the lack of interest from devs for some sort of private FOSS implementation is disappointing.

Loops was like let’s have a “For You” algo early this year but even that seems to be a dead idea.

Capitalism baby. Gotta cannibalize, monopolize, and enshittifize for maximum profits.

You beat me to it

I wish you could slap a custom rom on whatever phone you want and it Just Works™ like you can slap linux on any PC, but instead we get apps that potentially don’t work, locked bootloaders, push notifications tied to Google Play Services, and whatever else. You can put Lineage on the EU version of my phone but not the US version because fuck you. I hate how corpo centric phones have become. Like Google shouldn’t be allowed to hijack my entire screen for an ad or an app update. The entire modern definition of “sideloading” is BS, apps have access by default to things that they really don’t need, and why do I need to use ADB to purge your pre-installed bloatware ffs

Not cool.

Tab groups are in the works but we haven’t heard anything new about it since March.

Google sneezes and your future is stolen by an ad that’s selling it back to you. Google is too big to exist.

Typical megacorp cycle.

Step 1 introduce privacy invasive feature

Step 2 spend years getting all the data they need

Step 3 get a slap on the wrist for a fraction of what they made and will make from it

Step 4 profit and repeat

I really hate the term “side-loading.” We shouldn’t need a word for the normal way we’ve been installing apps for the past 40 years. If tomorrow Apple decided they were going to start only letting you visit web pages they approved of, we wouldn’t call some sort of alternating system that let you see the rest of the fucking internet “side-paging”. We’d instead call the whole thing bullshit.
