The Catholic Church has left the chat room.

P.S. Not religious, fuck em’ all

Is it possible that they offloaded the scraping to a different company to avoid direct litigation now theyre out in the open? To say “we didn’t scrape your website, and you can’t prove it.”

Like DDG, Ecosia, Qwant use Bing for their data Or how feds buy data from data brokers. Outsource the dirty job like every tech company does and shift the blame if caught doing something unlawful.

It seems they are trying to garner some positive PR after they scraped through everything without anyone noticing.

Why stick to the worse one, though?

Why is mastodon the worse one?

Many people coming from twitter run from the fediverse, because they’re told there’s nothing other than mastodon, which they find hard to use, lacking and extremely toxic.

Why is everyone so adamant that Mastodon should accommodate to users leaving Twitter by being a Twitter clone? It was meant to be federated, privacy friendly, self-hosted, less toxic twitter alternative for small communities , not a clone of Twitter. People act like everyone becomes seasoned to using Twitter or other mainstream social media websites by default and it’s mastodon’s fault they leave because its not exactly like Twitter. It’s pretty straightforward to forget all about the fediverse and rant all day, just like Twitter.

It’s one thing to improve UX for users and another thing entirely to specifically chaperone users leaving Twitter, which is not Mastodon’s goals.

which package are you on? i’ve been wanting something like that

Thanks! I’ve been trying to replace Adidas Running (formerly Runtastic) so i’ll give it a try. Runtastic bugs you to accept their TOS too often which needs internet. And If you’re in the middle of the run, you can’t get past that screen to view the stats. 🤦

Needing a different app for viewing map seems a little inconvenient though.

Hence the rumors that the feds and state actors do the most of it.

you need pay a subscription every year to publish your app on the app store. You can sign your app and install it but it’s temporary and you need to repeat it every time it expires afaik.

But you need a mac for it. Don’tyou just love Apple’s fancy walled gardens?

Safari is a very thin set of changes to WebKit, you can just run & build WebKit nightlies,

you don’t seem to understand software licenses, so please stop overselling yourself. Just because a software uses open source code, it doesn’t automatically become open-source. You’re first claim was Safari is open-source. It’s not

and compiling a browser for webdev. lol

The ability to customize the css and functionality of any web page without code

Isn’t that something other browsers have been able to do for ages with add-ons like stylus, greasemonkey and others. it doesn’t seem all that groundbreaking.

People might be hesitant to download a different browser what they can accomplish with a simple addon.

Which beta? I’m on Signal beta on Android and it isn’t there yet. The screenshot does look like an iphone
