You have to understand we are not normal users. Anyone even remotely interested in federated software are not normal users.

Bluesky may not have 57 third party apps and that’s why people are flocking to it. It’s easy. The signup process through the app involved no selecting of servers, no understanding of what it actually is under the hood, and users are greeted by a default algorithm that feels very much like old Twitter before Musk.

Basically, regular users do not care about the fediverse and just want a competent and polished app and site experience.

Now that you mention it, yeah. Why does loctite do that?

Deep breaths buddy. In… Out…

No one is attacking you. In… Out…

You are capable of taking a joke. In… Out…

It’s hyperbole, my guy.

This is America… That is not a guarantee.

So after some googling, apparently this is a VERY widespread practice spanning multiple brands, multiple manufacturers, all around the US; but I can’t seem to find any explanation. It can’t just be industry-wide madness, right? …Right?

Take a second look. Salted butter = Orange box, Blue wrapper. Unsalted butter = Blue box, Orange wrapper.

Mac for me. Occasionally on the iPad, but I rarely use my iPad for actual work that needs multitasking.

It has become my default desktop experience. I don’t know how to describe why I like it, it just works for me and I leave it on 100% of the time.

Bought my first home right at the end of low interest rates. I wasn’t planning on staying but I can’t afford to move now.

iMessage is the iPhone’s default texting app. It comes preinstalled on all their phones.
