If you want to follow Twitter accounts from Mastodon, there's a bridge called Bird.Makeup that still works and is working on a workaround to this issue.
I'm working on a Mastodon client called Agora that integrates this bridge into the search, so that if you search for "elonmusk@twitter.com" it automatically loads the bridged Mastodon version of the profile: https://agorasocial.app/#/andrew.masto.host/a/111844567849084915
Jack Dorsey doesn't "own" Blusky, he just gave them grant money in the beginning to kick things off, and is one of the board members.
"Prior to the seed round, Bluesky's website described the company as a Public Benefit LLC owned by CEO Jay Graber and other Bluesky employees. Post-seed round, the company describes itself as a public-benefit C Corp."

It would help to not have a complete mess of a naming scheme for their phones. It should be:
Moto E: Budget/entry level Moto G: Mid-range Moto Edge/RAZR: Flagship phones
There’s no need to confuse everything by adding 20 different versions of each tier with stylus/power/activ/whatever added to the name.
Dude this is amazing! Exactly the sort of thing I've been hoping would pop up to further "decentralize" the torrent search experience.
So I'm trying to run it on my machine through the docker-compose option, and I'm seeing something weird. It shows as successfully running, but when I go to the port it should be running on, I get "unable to connect" on my browser.
When I check my containers running, it shows the 3 bitmagnet containers, but the port doesn't show.
You can now install Tailscale on AppleTV. Tailscale is a sort of personal VPN service that allows you to directly connect your personal devices to each other over the internet. tvOS 17 added support for VPNs to run on Apple TV.
What this means in the case of AppleTV region coding:
If for example, you have a computer at home that's running tailscale, and you take your AppleTV with you while on vacation in let's say, Egypt, you can set Tailscale on your AppleTV to use the Tailscale node on your home computer as an exit node, and you'll be able to stream Hulu on that AppleTV in your hotel in Egypt normally because the traffic is tunneling through your computer back home in the US, and it thinks that's where you're located.
Normally with commercial VPNs, that wouldn't work because Hulu/Netflix/etc have a list of IP addresses associated with VPN services, and so they'd detect youre connected to that VPN and block you from using it. But in the case of tailscale, the IP address they see is that of your computer back home, so they don't think you're connected to a VPN.
This can also theoretically help get around Netflixes password sharing restrictions, because if the account owner runs an exit node on their AppleTV, and the other password sharers set their AppleTVs to use that owners AppleTV as their exit node, Netflix will think the logins are all coming from the same IP address located in one place.
Sorry to nitpick, but I see the comparison of a company market cap with country GDP a lot and it's a pet peeve of mine lol. Market cap is the value of the company, while GDP is equivalent to the total "revenue" that a country's economy generated that year. So a better comparison would be 2022 Microsoft revenue vs 2022 GDP of a country.
Tablets are good for "consumption" vs laptops/desktops that are better for "creation/production".
If all you want to do is browse the web, social media, watch videos, etc then tablets are a simpler interface for doing that, compared to dealing with all the extra things involved in a desktop OS.
For creation/production, aka "real work", laptop/desktop is obviously much more efficient and powerful for that.

That's the thing, if instance admins do that to avoid duplicate communities, won't that just mean that a few huge instances will be the ones with most of the popular communities, and have outsized sway/traffic costs?
Then we're back to square one and defeat the whole purpose of distributing load across many medium instances. Or am I misunderstanding how this works?
You can find some solid open source alternatives here, the ones I like most are Lawn Chair and Kvæsitso:
