Honestly, I’m just back to multiple apps. I work with people from all over, so I have like 7 different apps. Ah well.

I’ve been using it for a while. I stopped.

My two issues were security concerns because Beeper needs to unencrypt my data from all platforms to re-encrypt it to send it to me, which sounds like a huge single point of failure; and regular connection issues where I had to switch back to the original app.

Great concept, but not quite there yet.

A crypto company turns out to be shady? Who would have thought!

I treat them as sports team insofar as I hope that the stadium catches on fire and collapses on both of them in the middle of the match.

Zuck clearly put it there as a joke/Easter egg. I know it’s weird, but dystopian multibillionnaires whose life’s work undermines the very foundations of democracy around the world can have a (bad) sense of humor too.

I was in China last month where mask-wearing is frequent and not stigmatized. They had a surge of Covid cases, so I wore a mask on public transport. It’s a total no-brainer there.

Back in Canada, I don’t wear it as much because I’d be in much less trouble if I caught it here. Still wore one when visiting an aging relative in a medical facility.

Yeah, I’m with you there. I paid twice and will gladly pay a third time.

AI datasets can be built by scrubbing web content and doesn’t require API access.

This is about making sure Reddit controls the user experience and users can’t, say, block their ads or hide Reddit awards. It’s also a cold (and short-sighted) calculation: some people are making money from our product without sharing our costs, better kill them.

Yeah, that’s some corporate dystopia shit right there…

Same! The mood here reminds me of the good old days when everyone on Reddit wasn’t a cynical asshole.

Jerboa is already a better app than Reddit’s official app, so I’m quite happy to give the Lemmy and Jerboa devs time to iron out the kinks.
