The default iPhone app and sign-up process for the main instance is pretty darn straight-forward. I’ve never been a Twitter guy so I can’t speak to functionality, but it seems fine to me already.

It’s really nice to see a normal person resisting fascism instead of just magical space wizards.

Just solved an issue with transcoding where I had to delete the codec. It redownloads on server launch so was an easy fix.

Sports journalists in particular — so annoying that all breaking NFL news goes through Xitter.

It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times? You stupid monkey!

How do you get better at playing the guitar without actually playing the guitar?

(edit): Point taken, but “playing the guitar” still wins by a mile

What’s rough about it? I’ve never been a twitter guy so can’t really compare, but I have a Mastodon account that I pop into periodically, and it works fine.

The same apps I always used no longer work because of OS requirements. The “download older version” feature is extremely hit and miss (mostly miss).

The device works fine and is functionally useless because Apple said so. That’s not cool with me. Android might be just as bad, I don’t know — I’m sticking with FOSS mostly these days and just don’t have a working tablet anymore.

While I agree with others pointing out the oddity of a portable server in general: this sounds like a great use-case for a laptop.

Built-in battery, wifi you can broadcast out as a hotspot, and it even has a display/keyboard/mouse for troubleshooting!

An older laptop with the optical drive stripped out could have a 2.5” 5TB HDD in addition to the boot drive for some decent mobile storage.

I loved my old mini 2, but the forced obsolescence is bullshit and I’ll never buy another iPad.

The 2011 MacBooks were still Intel. Mine’s an i7.

I just recently did this test on an old MacBook Pro 2011 and installed Windows 10, Pop, and macOS in succession. Windows ran like ass and Pop and macOS ran about the same (fine). Settled on Pop for better Steam compatibility. Trust me, Windows is uniquely bad.

macOS is a UNIX OS and is far better than Windows on resource management.

The people defending him were also bloodthirsty right-wing fanatics.

Probably by mixing bleach into their food.
