Ara was pretty cool. I really like the idea, but I was never clear on what the mods would contain.
A couple are obvious: biggest batteries and fancier cameras, but what then? I can see enthusiast stuff like an IR camera, and maybe some nonstandard radios. But is that enough to appeal to most consumers?
Doesn’t Twitter hide the usernames of people in the thread but still notify them? I thought it had some quality of life tweak that made conversations a bit easier to read.
They don’t currently interact properly. When a Mastodon post shows up in Lemmy, it doesn’t have an appropriate title, the body usually has a bunch of mentions, and the responses aren’t worded like normal Lemmy comments.
I can’t speak to protocol interoperability, but culturally, Mastodon posts rarely work in Lemmy.
Pretty much this. But I used a function of the host name, so it would be easier to remember.
It gets annoying when the site forces you to rotate the password. After that happened a couple of times I started using a password manager.
That seems really high, even for Canada.
Have you looked at any of the flanker brands, like Koodo, Fizz, Public Mobile?
What happens if your AI avatar votes one way, but you decide you disagree, what happens?
Generally speaking, I don’t think we’re going to go with avatars, since there’s weirdness around what it does/versus what we would do. If my avatar answers a call from Grandma and calls her a bitch, you can be sure I’m turning that thing off. For special cases avatars make sense - people will undoubtedly pay to interact with the avatars of celebrities (e.g celebrity sex bots).
What kind of “oh” are we talking about? A sexy “oh”? Or disapproving? Surprised? Or like a late night comedian?
Fairphone has repairable Bluetooth earbuds. Well. The battery can be replaced, so I’m assuming they’re repairable.
Agreed. For Lemmy content, Lemmy’s UI is perfectly cromulent.
