Because $$$


This has nothing with minimum wage which is increasing to $20 for everyone in Seattle on January 1st and isn’t triggering a wave of fast food layoffs. This is just typical corporate cost cutting.


I see headlines like this and my first thought is how Elon Musk spent $43B to force people to read his bigoted tweets instead of literally anything else.


“We’ve decided to do shutdown after we were ordered to because our product killed some people”


no one was killed in that incident


There were multiple incidents and people were killed


Suspicious timing. The current attacks in Israel are trying to detail the normalization of relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel.


I have tested this with half a dozen Chrome extensions and none of them worked. “Allows install” is misleading. “Allows download” is more accurate.


I have been using it for months and it’s great. It’s like Vivaldi but with Firefox under the hood instead of Chrome.


This very poorly written


A useless platform until they implement quote tweets. It’s been years. What is taking them so long?


It's on the roadmap (https://joinmastodon.org/roadmap) - I gather that doing it _properly_ (requiring consent, working sensibly with non-Mastodon ActivityPub things, etc) is somewhat non-trivial.

But yeah, very much my most-looked-forward-to feature. I certainly understand the argument that it can increase toxicity, but requiring users to opt into being quotable should help there, and a lot of use on Twitter was non-toxic.


USB-C means you’ll still have different cables with different speeds for different devices but now they’ll all look the same.
