Would you buy a computer made of wood for the price of a used car? Maybe not. But you should be glad they exist.

Do you mean other instances of kbin, or other fediverse sites?

AI summary:

  • Brave Browser has marketed itself as a privacy-preserving web browser and has gained attention from cryptocurrency enthusiasts.
  • The company behind Brave, founded by Brendan Eich, faced backlash due to Eich's previous donation in support of California's Proposition 8, which aimed to ban same-sex marriage.
  • Brave initially planned to replace ads with its own ad units and split revenue with publishers, but this idea was met with legal issues and criticism from both inside and outside the company.
  • Brave introduced Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) as a way to reward users for viewing ads and content, but the rewards are minimal and the value of BAT is volatile.
  • Brave has incorporated various cryptocurrency-related features, including a full crypto wallet, but many of its crypto partners have faced controversies and scandals.
  • Brave was involved in a privacy scandal in which affiliate codes were added to URLs typed into the address bar, allowing the company to collect revenue from user signups or purchases.
  • The article concludes that Brave is a flawed software project and should not be used, recommending Firefox or Vivaldi as privacy-focused alternatives.

That's a decent solution, but unfortunately doesn't have handy podcast app features like silence trimming, voice boosting, etc. Great suggestion though!

I'll admit I do. And I won't like, I'll still append "Reddit" to my searches as needed. I'm just not really actively contributing or anything there anymore, which is sad

That works. F-Droid is an alternative to the Play store. You can also download the .apk directly instead if you prefer. Just scroll down to the versions and find the most recent.

Supposedly he's gonna add kbin support also. I hope he changes the name to be more broad, like Sync for Fediverse. Or Synciverse or something.

@NudelnAlDente Not sure there's really any set ways, but I'd personally use a microblog with hashtags if I wanted some reach beyond kbin or the community I'm posting to. That said, it seems like folks on kbin might favor threads in general, perhaps because it's most similar the posts on Reddit where many of us have come from.

Yep, this is just pure sensationalism, problems with Meta/Threads aside.

It's possible for mods to make themes that correspond to each specific kbin theme selection. Maybe I nee to write up a post and share how to do it.

Come on folks, where's that MySpace/Xanga/Geocities spirit‽ Maybe younger folks here weren't active online at that time. Sad we've lost that a bit online. Lots of people learned lots of stuff to make their pages look cool.

You can’t make this $hit up. 🚀💰 Get invested in the insane true story that shocked the world. Watch the #DumbMoneyMovie trailer now! Coming exclusively to movie theaters September 22.

Dumb Money is the ultimate David vs. Goliath tale, based on the insane true story of everyday people who flipped the script on Wall Street and got rich by turning GameStop (yes, the mall videogame store) into the world’s hottest company. In the middle of everything is regular guy Keith Gill (Paul Dano), who starts it all by sinking his life savings into the stock and posting about it. When his social posts start blowing up, so does his life and the lives of everyone following him. As a stock tip becomes a movement, everyone gets rich – until the billionaires fight back, and both sides find their worlds turned upside down.

Dumb Money also stars Pete Davidson, Vincent D’Onofrio, America Ferrera, Nick Offerman, Anthony Ramos, Sebastian Stan, Shailene Woodley and Seth Rogen. Directed by Craig Gillespie, written by Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo, based on the book “The Antisocial Network” by Ben Mezrich.

Saying they should do something isn't a demand. To me, it'd be more akin to the EU sharing currency, various regulations, etc. It just makes things easier for those within it and tends to be mutually beneficial, but it does take same to find agreements that every member is cool with.

Is there a good way to view articles and microblogs in a singular feed? I don't see a great reason for them to be separate
