Wow, these are really great updates! I especially like the improved UX around sign up and opening links on servers other than our native one.

…king?

OS: Linux, Arch (btw).

FTFY

I see, makes sense. So if I get it correctly, the idea is to make it easier for new people to join the fediverse, and not so much to improve the experience for those of us already here (although it seems that is also a goal).

But why is that such a great benefit? We already have a myriad accounts for different services/platforms; would this be merely a marginal improvement over the current situation?

Damn, that seems to be flagrantly anti-competitive. Has Microsoft attempted to justify why they do that?

Uh, yeah, I do use light mode during the day, and dark mode at night. I find it a bit hard to read dark screens in daylight :)

Oh wow, I had looked into the settings but somehow I missed the theming options! 🙈

This is the default theme out of the box :)

You’re doing it right. That’s exactly how to build momentum! 💪

Are you nerd-sniping? Cause that comment is begging for an xkcd reference 😁 → https://xkcd.com/605/

You know what, I had paid for the lifetime pro mode in sync for reddit, and usually prefer one-time payments to recurring subscriptions, but I chose to go with the recurring ultra subscription this time, to contribute to your regular financial stability. Your dedication is commendable. Thanks for all the work you’ve done over the years!

Workflowy and Teuxdeux are two web apps where I spend an embarrassingly large amount of my time online. I wish there were FOSS alternatives because I would happily contribute features and fixes to the issues I bump into in my daily usage.

While more smarts in natural language understanding would be welcome, I don’t feel like that’s what the assistant is missing the most. The biggest advantage that google assistant has is the potential for tight integration with the system (Android). IMHO it would pay off to make it more capable in terms of interacting with existing apps, setting up flows of actions, etc., than necessarily making it be able to communicate more fluently.
