Sound about right for a government. No apps, just physical fobs.

What year is it?

I want a Home Screen widget that shows me the 5 hashtags that are currently trending on Bsky or masto.

That’s not fair. Blue state tax pays have paid for some really nice infrastructure down there.

Speaking for animation, your browser probably already supports APNG. APNG is 21 years old and has decent adoption. But it’s officially part of the club.

That said, APNGs are fat as fuck and they’re a pretty old solution to animated graphics with an alpha channel. Don’t expect to see everyone making APNGs all of the sudden. There is a reason why people have kept it at a distance.

Animated PNG has been trying to be an extension to the PNG spec for 20+ years.

America is more in the middle of the road when you look at the whole globe, and don’t just select a few counties with lower death rates.

Africa is currently the reigning champ for vehicle related deaths.

Their grants were cut by a Trump EO, and they’re suing to have them reinstated. They’re very much still around.

Me if loratadine didn’t exist.

Or the reason why the US has had Radio Free Europe for decades.

Although, you could also argue that those taxes pay for informing and influencing citizens of foreign nations.

America’s media ecosystem is dominated by Fox, Sinclair, and other state party media players. There is a strategic benefit to having a media outlet that doesn’t run through the state media filter.

lol. That stupid Orb thing is still around?

If choking on long hair were easy, the world have a lot less women and a lot less dudes in metal bands.

I prefer the real hat hair.

This. I know a lot of folks in the fediverse like Matrix, but the user experience feels like yet another platform that started with the platform architecture, and not the end user’s experience.

Then it gets adopted by a bunch of people who enjoy installing Hannah Montana Linux distros for fun, and no one else.

Probably for the best that you can’t exchange it for another Anker battery. They’ve been recalling a bunch of their products lately.

This is still a thing?

Why would I want to give Reddit money?

Good point. Maybe these are a “home or office use only” device.

I would looove to have something like this for work or home.

Let’s be honest, swapping between two pairs of glasses, or rocking multi focal glasses, sucks.

Carrying around glasses cases everywhere is a total PITA, and multi focals are not nearly as nice as one big dedicated lens for an entire focal point.

I don’t know anyone carrying multiple pairs of glasses that thinks “this is great, the youths are missing out on all the fun.”
