It's exactly that. I have an account on Mastodon that I haven't opened in months. I use Bluesky a couple of times a day. On Mastodon I couldn't find interesting accounts to follow for weeks. On Bluesky I was up and running after an hour thanks to starter packs. Ease of use trumps (what a word!) philosophy for me. And probably most other people too.

BTW I already lost 10 years of posting on Twitter. Did not care for a second. Do people REALLY care about their postings on micro blog sites? It's not like a box of photographs that I would pass to my children on my deathbed...

Just FYI, starter packs were implemented on Mastodon, or rather, around Mastodon quite a while ago, so maybe give it another shot.

That being said, the nature of Mastodon does still make it more difficult to find interesting accounts.

Thanks, that's awesome! I will give it a try because I love idea of federated networks a lot. Just couldn't find my way in the jungle.

EU just signed huge deal with India.

That helps US geopolitical goals.

Because all cops are honest, all warrants are lawful and nothing worrying happens in the land of freedom right now.

And what's more, that perfect situation could never change in the future.

Me-30-years-ago would have called today's government crimes and corruption an implausible fever dream.

Some are very entitled to drawing lines on someone else's property. Why don't you mind your own business?

I mean this kindly, but if you're still using net-netlmv1 on anything that matters, you need to pay much more mind to your own business because even the original vendor of it has been telling you to get off that since 1999 because it is not safe.

If you're using it on something that doesn't matter, then it also doesn't matter that rainbow tables any attacker could have already had for a decade are slightly more available.

Thank you for this excellent explanation!

How else are they going to sell it to all those micromanagers who micromanage things?

It's cute that you think anyone is going to kiss your American ass.

I am just a typical Office user in a small company environment. Copilot buttons started popping in various Office applications. When I asked Copilot in Outlook to summarise mails from one of my contacts it happily searched the Internet and said it found nothing. AAA experience.

Not OP but I set Atkinson Hyperlegible on my e-ink reader and it served me well. I feel my reading speed has improved. It is pretty wide though so to put more text on the page I decreased font height a bit.
