Nice one! It’s honestly too bad they didn’t actually call it Putastation or Putabox! Putabox would have been even better IMO. That would have been so hilarious!

I stand corrected.

Don’t think we are getting an official desktop mode any time soon, ChromeOS is Google’s laptop/desktop operating system.

ChromeOS ran Android apps relatively well when I last tried this a few years ago. Most apps were clearly not designed for desktop UI/UX. Many didn’t work all that well as tablet apps either.

I already mentioned that I do use Mastadon. You’re preaching to the choir.

Yes, I do.

My national background and the current situation in my country makes Twitter an important source of information (I follow local news sites as well).

I used the gaming as an example as a more neutral topic of conversation.

I see where you are coming from (even if you are being a bit glib), but the reality is such that the vast majority will go with the flow.

And trust me, my hate for Musk is way more than you can imagine. This is serious stuff.

I actually did try that twice (in a context where they would have more motivation than a typical dev/studio), no luck.

Don’t get me wrong, I do think we have to move of corporate social networking systems. I started actively using Lemmy about two months ago and I am enjoying it. However, we do have to be realistic about the state of the market.

For certain content there really is no alternative. One example would be gaming, almost no studios/developers are on Mastadon.

I do have a gaming-focused Mastadon account and I do use it, but it’s not really comparable.

I’ve been waiting for the 0.27.1 update on F-Droid and there has been nothing so far.

Did not know you had to add the New Pipe repo.

A very reasonable assumption, although I think they will provide these features for at least 12 months for new devices.

I personally wouldn’t expect massive innovation.

Smartphones have been around for ~20 years, it’s a very mature product category.

“AI” tech does have potential in the smartphone space, but I thing the useful use cases are going to overshadowed by the hype.
