Looking forward to the F-droid release - it’s a bit ironic that that’s the only platform where it is currently not available, considering how it seems to be the reasonable place to get the app.

I don’t judge them too hard. Much like Twitter users I think they are blndly using a product that has gotten gradually worse. Much like Twitter users I think they need to realise at some point. But I understand that it’s difficult, and much like Twitter’s social graph, Apple’s network of services keep people captive.

And yes, there are huge problems in the Android camp as well. I sympathize with users who think all alternatives are bad, but I think we need to realize some are worse than others.

Also worth noting I don’t think anyone should buy a new phone over this. Whoever has an iPhone should keep using it until they can’t. But if they care, they should get something else after.

I think using Apple products involves paying money to a company who actively hurts you and limits your rights. That you cannot install software developed by an orbganization that accepts donations is pretty insane.

I’m not much of an absolutist. One can only do so much. But Apple is putting unreasonable constraints on consumers, and it should not be tolerated.

You can still install things on your Windows PC. Apple’s control over their ecosystem is to a degree where you have no meaningful ownership over your hardware any more.

I think people don’t need to be hypocritical, it’s enough to be ignorant. But if you care enough not to be ignorant and you still tolerate it, you might have a problem walking the walk rather than just talking the talk.

a small « support us » donation link in our website footer or even on one of the allowed platforms triggered a « nope » from Apple.

Christ. Caring about your rights and using Apple products is not compatible.

One criticism of many that could be made is on the tag line: “The classic story comes to life”

I feel like anyone given any role in any decision-making for a movie like this should respect the original enough not to claim that it didn’t bring the story “to life”. It was the first ever feature-length cartoon, it very much brought the story to life.

At the very least this movie seems to bring the story to the uncanny valley. Pausing at 1:42 is… highly regrettable.

Thanks - it’s interesting to hear what brings people to different platforms.

It sounds like there’s a lot of potential in Hubzilla for front-end developers seeking to make it a friendlier experience - from what everyone here is saying the back-end seems pretty solid.

I interpreted TheLugal as considering the old Facebook vibes as a bad thing - but each to their own!

As you’re using Friendica - Is the old school Facebook aesthetic part of what makes Friendica appeal to you? Did you move there directly from Facebook back in the day?

And if you have been around for a while, what has the recent growth of ActivityPub felt like from your corner of the Internet?

Friendica has been around since 2010 - it is very cool to me that the content we post here might reach users of a platform that was created almost a decade before ActivityPub was specified.

“Go see our movie!”

“No, not like THAT!!”

Ugh.

I don’t mind proprietary software - it seems it’s what a lot of people want, and I simply won’t use it.

Promoting proprietary software named “OpenSomething” should, however, be banned as false marketing.
