Mastodon vs BlueSky
  • Agree

  • Mastodon vs BlueSky
  • I use both and much prefer Mastodon. As others have said, it's more mature and the apps (of which there are many) are more polished. Bluesky is a bit glitchy and less feature rich. In fact, you still can't mute phrases on Bluesky, which is a deal breaker for me.

    Mastodon is harder to find people due to the federated nature, although some mobile apps such as Megalodon on Android and Ice Cubes on iOS do pull follower and following lists from remote instances which makes it easier to find people.

    Bluesky is more like old Twitter, and many people who I've followed for years are on there. Trying to out quip each other. Mastodon is more friendly and I've found lots of interesting people to follow.

  • 60 years of Doctor Who – including classic series – coming to BBC iPlayer
  • I wonder if it's too much to hope for 50hz versions. Seem to recall the Britbox episodes were 25hz (at least initially when I had a trial). I find classic Who unwatchable at 25hz sadly. Got to have that smooth video camera motion for the studio scenes!

  • Barber just fucked up my beard
  • I realise it's little consolation, but having not seen the before it looks great. I've had a beard for, like 20/30 years and rarely last more than a couple of months before getting annoyed with it, lopping the whole thing off and starting from scratch.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • I've completely dropped off BF this year, and don't even have much of an idea of what has been released! Would appreciate a suggestion for what to jump into first. Thinking about the Second Doctor / James McCrimmon box if that's out yet.

  • what is your favorite f-droid app?
  • I'm a LibreTube person myself, but only because I can't figure out how to access a YT channel's playlists in NewPipe. A couple of my subscriptions have unlisted videos that are in playlists (for example MLIG live streams). LibreTube isn't perfect though. I cannot fully disable the "Home" page.

  • Hollow Knight White Palace finally completed
  • Unfortunately I played it on console... Either Switch or Xbox, but I see it's on sale on Steam at the moment, so maybe I'll give it a go on PC and can always fall back on some mods if need be. Thanks.

  • Hollow Knight White Palace finally completed
  • I'm getting a bit older and have mild arthritis and being forced to play games "as developers intended" really grinds my gears. I'm stuck someway through Hollow Knight and doubt I'll ever go back to it. Some of us are already playing things on hard mode!

  • Anyone else?
  • I honestly cannot remember when I last watched a movie. However, in the last week I've binged two seasons of Star Trek Discovery.

  • Saturday chat thread
  • My getting old moan is that my hands barely function when I wake. I used to think it was because I lie on them, but apparently it's a form of arthritis. No doubt brought on my 30 years of work in videogames development. Luckily my SO has brought me a cup of tea to wrap my creaking hands around to warm them up and get them moving again.

  • Best Gamepass Games on a Phone
  • Cassette Beasts requires a controller on game pass, sadly

  • What's a smaller or indie game you think everyone should play?
  • Thanks for the in depth comment. It's great and much appreciated. I'll definitely go back to it. Currently about 2/3rds through a playthrough of FF6, so once that's done I'll get back to Cross Code!

  • What's a smaller or indie game you think everyone should play?
  • I need to try this again. I really wanted to get into it but I bounced off it after about 8-10 hours. I seem to remember feeling it was a bit grindy and dragged in places. I played on PS4 then PS5 and don't recall tweaking the assist mode. Will need to look at that again. I'm getting a bit long in the tooth and have mild arthritis so don't have the dexterity I used to have in my 20s - assist modes are great for this. I wish more developers would include them rather than insisting on one level of difficulty. Some of us already have an in-built hard mode!

  • About to miss my flight from Heathrow because…
  • No luck catching them swans then?

  • Thursday Complaints
  • Does this answer your question?

  • Wish I had more time to finish some JRPGs
  • I'm also not OP but I have one of these. Also using GarlicOS. Took a bit of tweaking the get things set up, but loving it. I'd definitely recommend, but you may need to fiddle to get it working exactly right. Struggles with some PS1 titles, but otherwise excellent.

  • Aldi! What are you playing at????
  • Personally I'm an oat milk man. Primarily because I kept getting confused since Aldi's soya milk (yum) and almond milk (boak) have nearly identical red colour packaging, while the oat is totally different.

    But... If I had to do cow juice, it's true blue baby. All the rest is water.

  • PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for July: Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Alan Wake Remastered, Endling – Extinction is Forever
  • I was thinking about buying Alan Wake recently too. Loved it on the 360 when it originally came out. Properly hooked me in. Time for a replay. Excellent.
