Krita is a fantastic image editor with a customizable UI that’s very powerful but easy to use.

Pixelmator is a waste of $70 when you get more (you can resize the toolbar buttons!) for free with Krita.

This what infuriates me the most.

I use a VPN (because my government is insane) and i get a “security warning” if I visit any Reddit post (even old Reddit).

All they’re doing is building a moat around OUR content we created.

That’s benefit of being built out of local communities!

There’s instances where users only interact with each other and not the larger Fediverse/lemmyverse.

My company has blocked all other web browsers, so lots of us sadly.

Welcome!

The web UI is accessible on any device and there are plenty of apps as well such as Sync and Voyager.

Especially when you have a group that would be ideal for a tabletop gaming server where you could participate locally instead of having to find each other all the time - and it’d be a lot easier to find and vet other community members going forward.

Ice Cubes is a fantastic Mastodon client!

I sincerely doubt 1 million regular people a day are leaving Twitter.

We’re watching bot accounts be created at scale in real time.

Microsoft Loop is the way to go nowadays.

Voyager is the spiritual successor to Apollo and an all around fantastic application.

At least you didn’t bring an acorn with you.

The X accounts of several prominent journalists and leftist pundits were suspended from the site, formerly known as Twitter, on Tuesday morning with no clear explanation.

The suspensions affected several journalists and commentators, including Texas Observer journalist Steven Monacelli, Ken Klippensten of The Intercept, podcaster Rob Rousseau, and Alan MacLeod of MintPress News. The landing page for their accounts says it’s been suspended, but does not give any explanation as to why. A message on the profiles simply states “X suspends accounts which violate the X rules.”

The ban didn’t just hit journalists either. Several prominent-left leaning accounts were also purged from the website, including the account for the TrueAnon podcast and @zei_squirrel, a cartoon squirrel that tweets media criticism of figures like Glenn Greenwald.

This is par for the course though. We shit on Digg for years after everyone had migrated over!

The project still lacks an API meaning there’s no mobile apps, so I imagine that hinders adoption.

This comic is seared into my brain. Fuck capitalism.

It appears that Meta was aware of Threads before launching its platform of the same name. Company lawyers made four offers to purchase the domain ‘threads.app’ from Threads Software Ltd from April 2023, all of which were declined. Meta announced Threads in July 2023, the same time that the British company says it was removed from Facebook.

Classic Facebook douchebaggery.

I’ve been waiting for the Journal app to be released since they announced it. I’ve never used any third-party apps because they’re either ad-filled, or I don’t trust them with my data.

In a stunning, pre-trial win in New York attorney general’s all-out war on the Trump Organization, a Manhattan judge has found that Donald Trump committed fraud for years by inflating his worth to banks and insurers by as much as $3.6 billion a year.

A strongly-worded ruling by state Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron rejected outright Trump’s request for a range of pre-trial victories, calling his arguments “rehashed” and “erroneous.”

Instead, the judge gave a major victory to Attorney General Letitia James, immediately revoking Trump’s license to do business in New York.

“It’s the corporate death penalty,” said Diana Florence, a veteran financial crimes prosecutor for the Manhattan district attorney’s office, now in private practice.

“This ruling essentially dissolves his company,” she said, though she predicted that years of appeals may pass before anything actually happens.

Bye bye Trump org!
