With BlueSky moving towards finally opening up federation, I'm interested in how people feel about it?

    Though smart phone is since 1998, not 2005. ARM based from about 2002.
    See also SMS vs Google vs Apple iMessage.
    Also Mail on Android isn't. It's using Google servers with your settings. You can install real email clients on Android. Also Google has "taken over" SMS & MMS on Android phones.
    Don't adopt AT or negotiate with any platform. Let them adopt AP and don't give them a seat on development. Google is wrecking Web Browsers.

  • Another day, another product joining the Google graveyard. On the upside, this time it's not a messaging app.
  • @ajsadauskas @technology
    Unsurprising.
    Someone was unkind to cats and ADHD sufferers by suggesting Google was like a kitten with ADHD in attention span to projects & products.

    Also Betas?

    Moral: Don't depend on Google/Alphabet for ANYTHING. Only use Google docs to collaborate information stored outside of Google.

  • Elon lied about the monkeys — and he shouldn't be trusted to put his Neuralink chips in human brains.
  • @freemo @ajsadauskas @technology
    If there are already such implants why licence a company that seems less than, um, straight.

  • The issue with Jann Wenner goes far deeper than a sexist, racist old fossil thinking women and black people aren't articulate enough to be considered masters of rock in his new book.
  • @ajsadauskas @popheads @music
    I thought black people were very instrumental in the development of Jazz, Rock, and Pop and originating a lot of it.
    Like who was Al Jolson, Elvis Presley and Eric Clapton copying?

    It wasn't white men.

    Then there were women of all origins too numerous to list here.
    I won't buy his book.
    I bought & buy music but never wasted money on Rolling Stone either.
    (Reminds me of Dr Hook!)

  • Elon lied about the monkeys — and he shouldn't be trusted to put his Neuralink chips in human brains.
  • @ajsadauskas @technology
    I was astounded to read Neuralink is to be permitted to experiment on humans. Instead they should have any animal experiment licences revoked.

  • Solar panels efficiency over time
  • @Suoko @OsrsNeedsF2P
    Can be less than 15 years life. Batteries 2 to 8 years.

  • Right now, could you prepare a slice of toast with zero embodied carbon emissions?
  • @urlyman @jgkoomey @ajsadauskas @green
    Unfortunately Ireland's economic statistics are a bit misleading. It's not all actual stuff happening in Ireland, but some big corporates having EU or EMEA HQs in Ireland. Possibly Microsoft, PayPal, Apple etc.

  • Scientists discover huge, heat-emitting blob on the far side of the moon
  • @Arotrios
    it's the nuclear waste that propelled Moon Base Alpha into space in 1999
    cooling down a bit in 24 years.

  • Called it. Elon's doing exactly what I thought he would do: [https://aus.social/@ajsadauskas/109979152813584947](https://aus.social/@ajsadauskas/109979152813584947)
  • @ajsadauskas @technology Since recently you can't report evil adverts on Twitter/X
    He's about to shoot the bird. Egotism.
    Same scammy product / service appears with different name when muted/blocked.

  • HP disables customers’ printers if they use ink cartridges from cheaper rivals
  • @Heterokromia @yogthos So far the Brother Lasers / MFP etc we've bought over the years have been fine without Internet and with 3rd party toner. Also decent Linux drivers for print & scan from Brother. HP were good 25 years ago for laser. Never good for inkjet. Decent HP gear now has Agilent badges.
