Mastodon
This might be blasphemy over here, but to support longer/deeper discussions on Mastodon, I think it'd be nice if Mastodon would implement options for non-chronological lists of posts, e.g. similar to reddit's default 'hot" view. Could be as simple as sorting threads based on most recent reply. This could be opt-in and can co-exist with the current chronological view.
chronological sorting reddit
The the words it uses that this site has seen
least often elsewhere. Posts are matched on those words alone —
nothing here is a summary of this one.

AI is breaking the academic sorting machine I see the mathematicians panicking at what we can do with agentic AI. Let us be clear on what we are talking about. In a few weeks, someone who is not a high-level mathematician can, with AI, produce the equivalent of a…

Finally got sick of all the Reddit UI changes, so started an @exedev VM and asked it to create an account and make a scraper for the content I check. Now I have an ultra lightweight, dense, mobile UI. Related

Unexpected Codex use case: set up an Android handheld for me. @johnvoorhees got me into this: enable USB debugging and just let the agent rip. Codex installed Cocoon frontend on my AYN Thor, transferred all my ROMs, and is currently configuring emulators, mods, and other apps. It's just working in the background and cross-referencing YouTube/Reddit sources to set everything up, so I can focus on cooking for the family instead. Incredible. @dimillian Related

Reddit blocks VPNs. Reddit also now blocks old.reddit unless you log in. But apparently reddit offers a Tor service? And old.reddit still works fine there? (At this point I only check one subreddit, itself a shadow of its former self.) Related

Apple seriously added search to the TestFlight app, *and* removed sorting options, with the default now being alphabetical sorting only…? WTF? This makes TestFlight unusable for me. macstories.net

Their words
So if you do a pure chronological feed, the incentive for everybody is to just post as much as possible uh because it will always be at the top of everyone who follows you's feed as soon as you post.

the individual who made that choice might be happy at the moment, but when you just get pummeled with stuff you're less interested in over the course of months, we ask, we run surveys at massive scales, we just see people start to become less and less satisfied with Instagram.

Bought a broken Grizzle-E duo charger on ebay, assuming I could probably figure out how to fix it. The problem was that it was missing the cable between the two boards. Asked @UnitedChargers support for info on how the pins on the two boards should be connected, or to buy a new cable to connect them. They wouldn't help, so a guy on Reddit took photos of his for me. Three wires later and it works perfectly and I can charge both EVs at once. Related

Their words
I can say without a doubt that Superhuman is the best tool I’ve ever used to work through email quickly. There’s no single reason. The keyboard shortcuts are lightning fast. The composition tools avoid friction. Its auto-sorting is excellent. I’m just scratching the surface of the full feature set. But Superhuman comes with a significant cost at $30 a month.

A funny side effect of the crackdown on "AI" scraping is that I keep getting banned from sites for browsing too quickly. I barely use reddit anymore and I still managed to get IP banned for scraping (the error message indicated that I should get in touch with them if I want to do bulk accesses). Related

Nothing matches. Show everything
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
