@john_b pesky cloudflare 😆

I've been using a PWA for CoSo on my Chromebook for years and on smartphones they've always work perfectly for me

This pixel is only device I've has issues with PWAs for sites not just CoSo - that said its minor issues tbh can still use the PWAs - more an annoyance 😆 cause I know *things* ain't perfect

@john_b its same with BlueSky, and a few others, on pixel PWA site settings show on other devices they don't

@john_b yeah I get that

Although I have set up same PWAs on different devices - CoSo I have set on pixel and other devices using same version of chrome and pixel is different from other device - other devices overlay search works in CoSo and the site settings aren't on show like the pixel PWA

And the highlighting of words, phrases in posts doesn't show the google search overlay at bottom on pixel

As seen in this screenshot

So annoying

Idk but PWAs on a pixel just suck

Well, on my pixel anyway they do

Only set a few up earlier this week and they absolutely suck - on my other devices they work as should be -on pixel they don't really work like individual apps, PWAs should get ride of browsed junk - like address bar etc which happens on my other devices OK pixel I'm left with 'site settings' at top(screenshot)that countersocial at top shouldn't be there

@SuperDuke you can opt-out via settings > privacy & safety > Grok << toggle off

Will stop your posts being uses in AI training etc..... In theory anyway

Also make your account private also stops any new posts being used

@stueytheround 😂

As soon as I saw the PIC I saw John.C jumping around 😆

@gshevlin @Priestess not used it for number of years myself - used to work okay

Mastodon.world - thought mastodon.social, and mstdn.social, had the largest active users and second largest << used to be again though been a few years since I checked stats for over there

i do mind though Mastodon's largest instance, mastodon.social, needed capacity upgrades to handle new load a while back

Here's another "tool" I also used before

mastodonservers.net/servers/to

@gshevlin @Priestess I've used this before gives you list of all instances with user count and status count

/nosanitize

instances.social/list#lang=en&=

That's a list of all English language instances

instance.social

You can tweak it as you see fit

Tech Life created a fake podcast using a new AI tool from Google Labs, and we spoke to the head of the tool, Steven Johnson. Don’t worry – this programme is still brought to you by real human beings!

We also look into how deepfakes have been used in the US. Plus – have we unveiled the real inventor of Bitcoin? (Spoiler – no.)

@gshevlin @Priestess

Mastodon is the biggest culprit of multiple usernames exact same spelling - albeit each one on different servers/instances - loadsa impersonates

Musk helped get Trump elected so musk could get government contracts

Musk did not buy twitter so he could get Trump elected

Its that simple - Musk knew he needed trump in the white house and even more he knew he needed JD Vance in the white house beside trump to secure the contracts

He was desperate after losing so much on twitter as is - he needed they contracts to be extended and get new contracts

@grrlscientist Saudi billionaire helped him purchase twitter that CNBC article only says musk spoke with Putin, and Kremlin, during the takeover of twitter - it doesn't say any Russians helped with actually purchasing it

Where as there is plenty proof that Saudi's helped financially

Musk’s major shareholders at Twitter include a Saudi prince and the crypto exchange Binance

No mention of Russians

In 1979, during the Iranian hostage crisis, six American diplomats escaped the overrun US Embassy and hid in the Canadian embassy for 85 days. CIA agent Tony Mendez orchestrated their rescue by posing as a Hollywood film crew, successfully exfiltrating them from Iran amidst heightened tensions and meticulous planning. These incredible events inspired the movie 'Argo'.
