We still have an FTC?

Linda McMahon, part of the McMahon crime family accused of sex trafficking and other such crimes.

Great beast of the sky, please hear my cry. Transform thyself from orb of light and bring me victory in this fight. Envelop the desert with your glow and cast your rage upon my foe. Unlock your powers from deep within so that together we may win. Appear in this Shadow Game as I call your name, Winged Dragon of Ra!

I’m really enjoying Orion on iPhone and Mac

Sure, I get that, it’s just when it eventually becomes corrupt or falls apart, everyone that moved from Twitter to Threads to Bluesky will find another platform. Nobody is going to move to Mastodon until the people they want to follow move there too.

In my three attempts to make Mastodon work for my needs in the last few years, I can’t follow NBA or NFL news, catch up on AEW wrestling or hang out with IRL friends.

The content I want/need simply isn’t there. Until it is, i don’t really care how private it is or how perfectly decentralized it is.

None of the people I follow are active on Mastodon. The selling point to me for Bluesky is that it’s essentially a Twitter clone not owned by a billionaire. It’s friendly to the communities I’m part of specifically and doesn’t have ads. What more should anyone ask for from a social media platform?

Ads in chats?

YouTube TV used to be such a good value. $35/m for the channels you actually want. Now it’s bloated and way too expensive. I moved back to traditional cable in January and haven’t looked back. I save $20m with Spectrum versus overpaying for YT TV.

I downloaded it and signed into to Sync and i gotta be honest it’s a little half baked. I think I’ll stick with Firefox for now until it leaves beta.

It looks like Arc but built on Firefox’s engine? That’s sick. I’ll give it a look.

What’s the best alternative on Mac?

Cool concept. Seems a bit pricey for what is essentially an RSS reader. UI looks kind of ugly.

Are there any good ChatGPT alternatives that are not owned by a billionaire or tied to the government?
