That is amazing!

Uuuh, what is that example supposed to show me exactly? That the chat got moved to a new one?

I mean if never want one, but in an engineering level this site looks fascinating.

Aww, I was so hoping I’d get another assistant like thing, Google definitely needs more of those.

Other way around. Open Library is part of the internet archive. Given it’s also vastly superior in quality and has tools to maintain and administrate the data, I very much prefer it over alternative offerings. If Bookwyrm at least had a curation/maintainence team or support group or something, and not everyone could just nilly-willy add duplicates of existing entries, then I could see more use for it.

But like others have said, it’s also a bit of a different use case. If you want to pull data, definitely do it from OL. They’re the same source Bookwyrm uses for its main data import, after all.

Considering who is behind it, I just use Open Library. In particular because like you say, their actual data is much more useful.

I mean there’s a solid chance not a single coder now is the same as back when it was removed? It’s been quite a while. 😅

Yeah when they removed it there was virtually no comment on it. At the time everybody understood PWAs were just… you might as well use a new window and press F11. It’s just window dressing.

I mean I get it, there’s some marginal use cases. Sure. And it looks pretty in the end. But I also get why from a dev perspective there’s just very little actual point to them.

The last thing I want is for big corporations - independent of whether they’re phone making or telecommunications companies - to decide “the future of eSIM”.

Much like USB-C in the 🇪🇺 , this needs to be enforced as a standard via law!

Seems to depend massively on the sub though, most I am in will never see a right winger above -20 and constantly mocked at best.

Oh the Predator target marker!

Oh it couldn’t have happened to a better bunch! 😈

Android is technically a form of linux, no?

Yes, and it’s inherently designed not to be.

But it also bears repeating that decentralization by itself has no advantage, either.

Mastodon did it to themselves.

There’s a reason Bluesky has a UI that’s more or less exactly like old Twitter. It makes for a smooth transfer.

I mean, I feel it’s a misunderstanding of what users actually use social media for.

Just of top of your head, can you list three reasons they want to join the Fediverse for a “normal” Reddit user? Because I struggle to name one, nevermind three. There’s all the technical reasons, ethical stuff, etc. But that’s all something that enthusiasts would consider, and it goes against how the vast vast majority of users use social media where the more centralized the better as it multiplicatively expands the pool of content and interactions to have everyone centralized.

The Fediverse shows this, in fact! Note how resistant users are to spread over instances, in fact being always after centralizing on the bigger ones. But this isn’t a bad thing really, as it’s simply the nature of social media. Of course far less necessary on federated stuff, but there’s also no reason not to (again, from the perspective of someone wanting to use social media, not advocate).

It’s not an easy thing to do to get users here. The place inherently doesn’t appeal to those it would need to appeal to.

The left one is much easier on the eye, tbh.

Didn’t the same guy pretend he was going to create a small phone before?

Not too be confused with the Masturbatron.

Or it might not.
