As someone who’s had a single-user Mastodon instance for two years now: I love it. It’s definitely not for everyone, for reasons mainly stated in the article. However, if you like a more personal, highly-curated federated timeline, a single-user instance is great.

I 90% use Mastodon to keep up with my friends’ posts and see art and animal pictures (and I hate interacting with strangers LOL), so I curate my instance to only subscribe to them. For the remaining 10%, I have a secondary account on a larger instance for when I want to read the news etc. It’s worked well for me, but again, it’s surely not for everyone!

What a beauty!

As someone who uses a 40s keyboard (no numbers row, kinda similar to the bottom middle keyboard in OP’s pic): my wrist pain that I got from typing 4-6 hours a day was gone once I started using them, because they’re compact and I don’t have to move my hands/wrists at all. When I type with a full-sized keyboard, I have to move my wrist when I want to type numbers, for example. Now I can type for 8+ hours a day without worrying about pain.

Of course, keyboards are all personal preference! That’s why I love the mech keyboard community, seeing all the different layouts and shapes people tailor to use for themselves.

It does still get updated about once a month, last one was on April 2: https://nekogram.app/changelog

Exactly this. I read the article in the post and thought it actually sounds like a nice service, but after getting this ad when searching “depression” on DDG last year, I don’t think I’ll ever trust them again lol.

Japanese Misskey/Mastodon servers have also been spammed by the exact same thing since about 15 hours ago, and it’s still going. I guess they’re targeting Lemmy as well now, damn…

As someone who converted to ortho bc of their deep dislike for stabilizers, I approve this message.

Cool build, looking forward to its finish!

I use Omnivore!

Our research has several limitations and should be interpreted with appropriate caution. Firstly, our evaluation technique likely underestimates the real-world value of human conversations, as the clinicians in our study were limited to an unfamiliar text-chat interface, which permits large-scale LLM–patient interactions but is not representative of usual clinical practice.

Yep. My parents offered to buy my gen Z brother a car, and he asked for an e-bike instead. I (a millenial) also choose to not have a car for both environmental reasons and just… not wanting to drive and deal with traffic and car maintenance and whatnot. Thankfully we live in a city whose public transportation’s getting better by day.

Indonesian does; kiri (left) and kanan (right). “Ki” and “Ka” are usually used in texts (e.g., for captions in newspaper/magazine articles), but for headphones, contact lenses, etc it’s normally just L/R.

Yeah, the crypto stuff is getting too much, plus they’re shoving stuff like their VPN, search, and news down users’ throat. I used to use Brave as a secondary browser bc of its profile feature, but switched to Orion a couple weeks ago and never looked back.
