If 4chan made Trump win in 2016, Twitter might make Trump win in 2024. Which is a scary thought. Just imagine the level of control one rich man can have over the information highway, Twitter, one of the biggest social media sites in the world, used still by many politicians, journalists and reporters on both sides. It’s happening.
Uncompressed and loseless
The symbol in the middle was a blindspot? The only thing remotely resembling a flag was on the sides, and even then it surely didn’t look like the 6-color Rainbow Flag.
The same stuff happens on Twitter - some guy on the platform scaremongers about Twitter banning artists for making fanart of copyrighted characters, and people start copying and pasting the same exact disclaimer even though I am sure many of them know it doesn’t work that way. And I don’t think it’s just “boomers”.
Honestly not that bad if I want to use it for notetaking. But not as full-featured.
Do they have variable weight? Are they planning to add that? Because I’d really like that for quick sketching and doodling.
I think they’re just pushing people to use OneNote (which is free).
It’s like corrupting 8-bit games, isn’t it?
This is just word replacement of an existing article (forward = ahead, games = video games, passed (away) = handed, points = factors) done to avoid DMCA claims, whether it was done by AI or an algorithm is irrelevant. The AI was used to reword the article, and it’s good at doing that, but why those words in particular were replaced is beyond my comprehension.

I see you’re a person of culture as well… I know this reference.
WordPad was a fast and efficient way to view doc files without loading into LibreOffice or any other office suite, or to make rich text documents quickly. But alas, we have to go to the cloud for our notes now…
In my country nobody (or at least, most people don’t) buy their own routers, it’s always a subscription on top of the existing internet service
Websites glitch out more often on Firefox. I had my favorite Mastodon instance not letting me scroll back up because of some weird jittering bug that only applies to Firefox for some reason.
Chrome is the only browser I actively avoid using on my PC or on mobile, simply due to Google tracking every website I visit
WTF? Until very, VERY recently it was a free extension. This shouldn’t be allowed. But I understand that maintaining something as big as this requires a budget. What a shame. I only used it of a day and kinda ditched it afterwards, since it’s not available on Revanced on mobile and I hoped it would be.
In our country, texting (through the built-in Messenger app) is mostly done as an emergency measure, as most people here use Meta’s other messaging app, WhatsApp.
Or perhaps Web 3.1. But seriously, I would call it the Federated Web.
It’s optional and only intended towards Premium users, but concerning nonetheless. This ID-gathering is probably not even regulated in a lot of countries - I haven’t found any info on such regulation existing. And a migration is in fact happening - but it’s more of just people being less interested in the new ‘X’ form of Twitter with all of its restrictions. That part of the cake is distributed between platforms like Mastodon/*key, Threads, Bluesky and Tumblr, not to mention Facebook still being a thing too.
Took me a second.
