> RERERERE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SWETCH TO LINUX BECOUS OF THIS TPM REQUIREMENT

no they're not. many pcs since 2018 have TPM, just disabled. other than that, W10 is going to be supported until 2025! by then it's probably worth to update your hardware

this does not imply that this isn't a shatty requirement by m$, but still. stop being so enthusiastic with linux :D

dear chromium team,

who tf needs qr codes on pc that you put option to generate them everywhere

sincerely,
annoyed user

Do not click opt-out in spammers' e-mails. They use this to check whether you're receiving and reading their messages. Plus, you don't have to opt-out of something you never opted-in. Just move spam letters, well, to spam.

Ну вы тут развели войну насчёт XMPP v Matrix.

И зачем оно надо. Понятно же, что Telegram — лучший мессенджер.

For Minecraft Java Edition you'll need to have a Microsoft account now.

I'm taking time off Mastodon. There are many reasons for that, which I won't list over here (it's something to deal with overall experience).

That is not my final goodbye and I'll be visiting you from time to time, but just so you know.

I will prioritize back maintaining my Telegram channel, but it's in Russian, unfortunately, so I'm not linking it here.

Cya 👋

TIL in Firefox if you drag and drop link or file on Download toolbar icon, that'll download it.

Imagine replying to random post, getting fav and reply. Crazy, right? That's fediverse, by the way.

In 3.2.0 we've got rid of “Boost to original audience” menu option for private toots.

Yes, you always could boost these, it was just hidden in the menu all this time! Now we just show regular boost button, confusion no more!

Though, there was a change that adds a little lock on the boost icon and it's interesting to hear what you think of it:

Do you think it's necessary to show this lock? Is that a little confusing?

I wanted to include line “I identify as a clown” in my README on GitHub, but then thought this could be offensive to some people and this is not what I want. Oh well.

Me: stressing for a few hours that my right eye sees badly after sleeping, already accepted that I'm going blind.

also me: *clears eye*

*starts seeing fine*

*don't know what to feel anymore*

Seeing #eugh trending can't think of that—

TIL: There's a thing called ‘Prepack’ that actually evaluates some simple (or not) expressions in your JS code and replaces them with the result.

So, like:
console.log(['hello', 'world'].includes('world'))

will be optimized to:
console.log(true);

Wow. This is cool, you can learn more here:

@Gargron it's time to tell instance administrators that blocking other instances prejudicially does more harm to the fediverse, than good to the users.

We need to encourage users to actively use self moderation tools such as blocking and filtering, and teach administrators that domain blocking should be a last resort action — e.g. when one instance actively attacks yours, not when one users from that other instance says something that single user on your instance may be offended of.

So Spotify now allows you to set Russia as your country in Settings. And what happens when you do this is that you lose access to many songs and some pages just stop working, because remember — “Spotify is not available in this country”. What a beautiful trap it is.
