Like a lot of things, it was good at first. Then they made it shitty.

I had small ads that I barely noticed, no need for any crypto account, and it gave me 5~10€/month to automatically send to Wikipedia (or any website I felt like paying).

Now that crypto account is mandatory it's just useless...

I still use it on a few devices but mainly because I'm too lazy to replace it by something else.

Completely depends on the country

Yes but this thread is about something happening in France, so I wasn't talking about US laws...

If you get arrested during a protest, they can force you to unlock the phone (it can be a felony to refuse) , so better not to bring it at all.

It was changed recently, now upvote works similar to lemmy/reddit (but also adds things to your favourites)

Boost is more for the microblogging side of kbin, it's like a retweet. (also adds more reputation points but that's not really useful for anything right now)

I hate it... I don't know if it's because they made shows thinking it will be seen on a perfect screen, or because they think it's "realistic", but it makes lots of things unwatchable.

If you watch the Daredevil serie from 2015, most of the action scenes take place at night or in dark rooms (since main character is blind), but you can still perfectly understand what is happening.

There is really no need to make the person watching feel like they are blind too...

Refrigerated eggs have a shelf life of 3-5 weeks, while non refrigerated eggs are at 2 weeks.

I don't know in other countries but in France eggs have an expiration date of 4 weeks after laying, not 2.

(they are not refrigerated and not washed.)

Harder to block ads and tracking on an app.

Also, last time I tried it, you couldn't use the app without being logged in, so they get more data on you than if you were able to browse anonymously.

Firefox doesn't have this problem,only chromium browsers.

Nice!

The PWA rotation issue is really annoying, happy to see this will be fixed. :)

For now I use it to save things, since there is no save function.

So it could probably be replaced by that.

But I think it's also here for compatibility with Mastodon...

Clicking on "boost" again should remove the boost. At least that works for me.
