ZetaRicky··on Picard 3.0
When I get back to organizing my Bandcamp downloads, I do: what I set years ago still works
ZetaRicky··on Magnifica Humanitas
Interestingly, the Latin version of the encyclica is yet to be released at the moment
ZetaRicky··on The Size of Adobe Reader Installers Through the Years
Maybe Okular can be tweaked this way
ZetaRicky··on Mastodon is doomed?
My Mastodon instance is small enough that every request I made to the mantainer was solved within a couple hours, usually by blacklisting accounts or entire servers. The “human” size of the instance (~500 users), in my opinion, can’t be ignored in this case
ZetaRicky··on Internal messages at Twitter show cutting off 3rd party apps was intentional
“Elno wants his birdsite without other apps joining!”
ZetaRicky··on My plane is not trackable without using non-public data
I see your point, but planes and cars are not on the same level, in my opinion
ZetaRicky··on Stop Writing Twitter Threads
Some Mastodon instances, like the one I’m on at the moment, allow 5000 characters per toot. I feel that’s more than sufficient for any Twitter-ish “long” post
ZetaRicky··on The coming tsunami of fakery
If I remember correctly, the first days of Reddit were filled with bots posting to fake some user activity so that humans would ditch other platforms.
ZetaRicky··on How to stop being “terminally online”
The author mentioning “based” and “cringe” reminded me that meme culture ages poorly while endlessly recycling the same tropes/jokes. Eight years ago the dichotomy was “dank”-“normie”, and Impact was used with way less meta-irony.
