The default iPhone app and sign-up process for the main instance is pretty darn straight-forward. I’ve never been a Twitter guy so I can’t speak to functionality, but it seems fine to me already.

Sports journalists in particular — so annoying that all breaking NFL news goes through Xitter.

It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times? You stupid monkey!

What’s rough about it? I’ve never been a twitter guy so can’t really compare, but I have a Mastodon account that I pop into periodically, and it works fine.

While I agree with others pointing out the oddity of a portable server in general: this sounds like a great use-case for a laptop.

Built-in battery, wifi you can broadcast out as a hotspot, and it even has a display/keyboard/mouse for troubleshooting!

An older laptop with the optical drive stripped out could have a 2.5” 5TB HDD in addition to the boot drive for some decent mobile storage.

The 2011 MacBooks were still Intel. Mine’s an i7.

I just recently did this test on an old MacBook Pro 2011 and installed Windows 10, Pop, and macOS in succession. Windows ran like ass and Pop and macOS ran about the same (fine). Settled on Pop for better Steam compatibility. Trust me, Windows is uniquely bad.

macOS is a UNIX OS and is far better than Windows on resource management.

Looks like you edited it to make sense, cheers. Beep boop.

Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like?

That’s pretty funny since manually searching some keywords can usually provide helpful data. Should be pretty straight-forward to automate even without LLM.

I mean, it wouldn’t stop them from continuing to post to Xitter. They can do both!

They do keep adding garbage that nobody wants, but the core product still works great. I plan on getting a jellyfin docker running in parallel though so I’m prepared in the event they piss me off too much.

Real life sisyphus.

It’s not referring to the Fediverse and ActivityPub, it’s their own thing.

Flying sucks, but not seeing the world sucks more.

More scam, please

I have a little mini keyboard/trackpad controller. Primarily just use the directional pad and media controls to navigate Plex, but if I need to pop into a web browser or whatever, it works great.

Check out the show For All Mankind. It’s an alternate timeline where the Soviets beat the US to the moon and the space race doesn’t end.
