yesy yes thanks mozzilla i love logging in to work on monday morning to find a new homepage with “thought provoking stories” about:

• jannik sinner being op
• who is still using floppy disks, by geopop.it
• best pictures about the chinese new year celebrations in italy, from viaggi.corriere.it
• how the new trash tax works, by today.it
• NBA players that are also rappers (😱😱😱 thanks mozzilla I almost missed this one!)
• 5 types of incense to remove negative energies from your home

…and a whole number of other useless slop I will never open and I will never care about. I hate enshittification so fucking much

It depends on what you want to edit :P if you just need the basics (sketching, filetrs, resizing, cropping, converting, combining, etc), try ImageToolbox

Correct. It’s from https://fedidb.org/, if you scroll down the main page you can find the Software User Distribution pie

The markdown version of that post: https://pastecode.io/s/jdcy039w (you can copy-paste it over the current post body, to preserve formatting and inline links)

It still requires a phone number to sign up, but you don’t need to share it to chat with someone

Camera: GrapheneOS’s camera app. Have been my camera of choice ever since I’ve discovered it. Never had an issue, offers all the basic features you would expect from a camera

Meta: just making sure that anyone that reads this comment is aware of the existence of Obtainium!

Obtainium allows you to install and update Apps directly from their releases pages, and receive notifications when new releases are made available.

The “extend” part is fundamental before they can actually get to the “extinguish” stage: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

Once Meta joins in, a new set of dynamics are going to develop between old fediverse uses and new meta/fediverse users. If Meta adopts an “EEE” approach such as the ones described in the article, there’s going to be disruption in the user experience from which the fediverse might never fully recover

Edit: clarification on the last sentence, my main concern is that a growing niche protocol such as ActivityPub might be destined to irrelevancy after Meta is done with the Extend & Extinguish, similarly to what happened to XMPP
