Ok true, I think I forgot that you also see the Discover feed? But you can just remove that from your feeds and add any feed you like or just use the Following feed.

But that’s not true for Bluesky. The only feed that you see when newly registering is the Following feed which is chronological.

Estrogen in general I would say.

Same, although I had thoughts in that direction at that age but I couldn’t categorize them.

Personally I would prefer a subscription instead of ads. I hate ads. I’d rather pay directly.

If Bluesky has an algorithm, I haven’t seen it. I get chronological posts from the accounts I follow with an occasional and subtle suggestion to follow other similar accounts. Many of the accounts I follow are news outlets, journalists, civic leaders, etc. Some of the accounts I followed on Twitter are finally joining Bluesky while less than a fraction of those are on Mastodon.

Bluesky does it even better IMO. Their default feed is a chronological feed of all the people you follow and you can add additional feeds that have their own algorithms (You can even create your own either with simple logic through something like skyfeed.app or code it entirely from scratch). This makes it much easier to choose what you want to see compared to Mastodon.

The feeds are the strongest feature Bluesky has.

Wow, I wouldn’t have thought that Apple Mail is more popular than Gmail.

I don’t see myself ever giving up cheese.

Never say never. I thought the same for some time.

I’m so sad for all of you in America right now. Stay strong.

Past me had this exact thought.

There are other ways to increase company value that do not necessarily result in Q/Q / Y/Y profit increases.

Can you name some examples? I’m not very familiar with economics.

I agree. And if you want some level of convenience and some level of privacy I think Apple is the way to go.

For example I have the skills to use GrapheneOS but I just don’t want to deal with it and I want to still be able to use NFC payments. So iOS is the next best thing.

And who expects cinematic masterpieces? Most gamers skip the cutscenes and all dialog lol

No, you are correct. If you are the only person accessing the service you don’t need to open any ports since you access your network via Wireguard anyway.

The reason Valve is not massively predatory is because they aren’t publicly traded and remain a private company.

You count as active if you post, comment or vote.

There are so many different ways they could create value.

Such as?

Completing all of these quests on the normal difficulty, assuming that you aren’t forced to replay sections due to dying or any other reasons, will take around 7-9 hours. There are several secrets, Sidequests, and hidden Points of Interest that the more adventurous players can explore, which will bump up the playtime. For players who take their time and see all the sights, the DLC will take around 12-15 hours to get the full experience.

German ID (ePerso) can transmit your age anonymously.

Germany for example has an ID with digital functions that are able to transmit if the holder of the ID is an adult or not completely anonymously but Steam refuses to implement a proper age verification system.
