Whatever crosses my mind on tech, internet, federated social, etc.

Infrequent poster; I spend enough of my time on screens as it is, so I prefer to go touch grass and connect with the universe. I build things for other people who feel the same.

Android users: do you install apps from alternate app stores?

I last had an android as my main driver in 2013 and used to run a jail broken OS, but have no idea how common installing non play store apps is these days

When your password leaks:
→ Change your password
→ Problem solved

When your biometric data leaks:
→ You can't change your face
→ You can't change your fingerprints
→ The compromise is permanent
→ Your biometric data is in breach databases forever

This is why facial recognition for age verification is dangerous.

@benpate @scottjenson Hey Ben, yeah, I totally agree- threads still make sense for public posts since there is often so much branching. The private use case really depends, but since it’s often 1-1, it feels less necessary to have the complexity of threads. Definitely debatable tho depending on preferences.

If threading stays in private messages, I’d love to see the 1 & 2 UX you described. I think of slack as another example of decent threads UX, but don’t like it nearly as much.

Cool, where’s the class action suit to join to get my refund for all the tariffs I had to pay since this was enacted?

Speaking of... I’m so delighted to see apps like @tg's Currents! The calm, intentional design is so well thought out and executed 🙌🏻

Currents is just for RSS, though. I would *love* to see these design patterns be incorporated into other social feeds.

Since @frequency is built for personal connections rather than news outlets or voices you follow, some of Currents’ nice design elements wouldn’t fit our use case exactly. But it is exciting to see some things similar to ideas I doodled in my notebook way back in 2018/2019 show up in real life and done by a designer with top notch skills! 😍
