This article is from April 2024. So, where are the ads?

Or, you know, you could just use Apple’s feature and switch to a different Apple TV (device) user account? This should also switch to whatever accounts that user was logged in to in all related services.

Well, surprise, that’s what happens if you stop censoring stuff that isn’t legally prohibited.

pretty much all men want sex there

Yeah, what happened to the good old:

a/s/l?

You can configure it to make your author page also your ActivityPub profile (compatible with Mastodon). Once people subscribe to that author account, they will get notified of new posts and see them in their timeline. But IIRC there’s no support for historic entries, i.e. people will only see new entries from the moment they subscribed onwards.

E.g. my blog is available as @mbirth@blog.mbirth.uk within the fediverse. If you go there, you’ll most probably see an empty profile. Only when you follow that account, you’ll see future entries pop up in your timeline.

Feedle seems to be a normal RSS directory, but they make lots of noise on Mastodon - so I guess a lot of the blogs listed there will have some Fediverse representation as well…

nmtui if you’re using NetworkManager, Or edit the /etc/netplan/*.yaml if your install uses netplan.io.

Here’s a post that popped up on Mastodon earlier today:

Conclusion from the linked blog post:

But, what information is really leaving your device? There is no trust me bro element. Barring some issue being found in the math or Apple’s implementation of it, for the first time the cloud is able to act as a sort of extension to your device and your data, which is an immensely exciting proposition. Apple has managed categorise photos without knowing anything about what they contain. How cool is that.

Where are there ads in Apple Podcasts? I’ve never seen some. The season info is clearly shown wherever it’s relevant.

On the mobile website, you have to go to the menu and select “Feeds”. However, there’s no direct link to it.

What I don’t like about using the mobile browser is that FB doesn’t behave like a PWA but opens as a normal webpage instead. Which means the cookies can be used to track the other pages I visit (that use FB login or other components from FB).

I’ve setup an automatic redirect from the FB start page to:

https://www.facebook.com/?filter=all&sk=h_chr

This is the feed from followed people only - sorted by date, most recent first.

That’s the only sane way of using FB. Sadly, there doesn’t seem to be a similar option in their mobile apps.

You mean “Two printers and one CUPS”?

If you want to keep up with friends/family, you can do a chat group on any of the many messengers. Or even use an RCS/iMessage group. You don’t need a full-blown social media thingy for this.

They just get rid of a bunch of so-called “fact checkers” deciding for you which posts you’re allowed to see and which get banned/hidden/deleted. It’s not the end of the world. You can still block people. You can still decide NOT to read posts.

You’ll find it a much more encouraging and rewarding experience if you connect with people instead

And you’ll find that a lot of your so-called “friends” won’t include you in any activities if it means they have to contact you separately via other means.

I thought the thing will lower your phone into the box so that the battery doesn’t take your whole room with it when it eventually explodes during charging…

I don’t know anything about Neptune, but a Fediverse-version of TikTok is Loops.video.

Apple Maps also is available via browser for a few weeks now.
