This obsession the mainstream tech media is having with the softlaunch of a general steamOS image is bizarre. There's nothing steamOS does that can't be achieved with a lot of other distros, Fedora, uBlue/bazzite and arch friends.

Does even the IT media need their handheld by some corporate sponsor to do anything?

Gosh, this episode of #EdZitron's ( @Zitron ) #BetterOffline should be mandatory for school classes and family gatherings. How #techMedia is ignoring the #RotEconomy, how #Apple is profiting from its #AppStore actively harming customers, and what we should be fighting for pushing against #Meta, #Google, #Microsoft & Co.

Everything Must Change Dept : Genuinely shocked and amazed at how shitty the transition to a new device can be.All the #AI related farkery has hastened the wholesale #Enshittification of #Android and #Windows . Am fairly stunned at how bad the user experience can be on a #Samsung device that can't handle tasks a ten year old flip phone managed to pull off- the, gaping, glaring flaws not a single review seems to have discovered because yes , #TechMedia is now also a giant turd that won't flush

Gizmodo: Popular Tech News Site The Verge Goes Behind a Paywall. “The Verge, a tech news site founded in 2011 and owned by Vox Media, erected a paywall for the first time on Tuesday in an announcement from editor-in-chief Nilay Patel. A subscription to The Verge will set you back $7 per month or $50 per year, according to Patel, who says that a ‘surprising number’ of readers were asking for […]

- much like the general "automation" hype (basically another branch on the same tree) purports to make the production of consumer goods faster & more effective etc., while at the same time putting everyone out of work or on starvation pay, meaning nobody can afford to buy anything, even necessities...

We need the #press, #media, #TechMedia & #BusinessMedia to do their actual job, not just reproduce press releases & feed hype cycles on behalf of VC capitalists.

Outlines how the media became the PR machine for Meta Threads and hyped the app without ever trying it.

‘Threading’ a Thin Line – We The Press

"How Mark Zuckerberg’s Threads app went from ‘Twitter Killer’ to reality check, and the Media’s role in shaping perceptions."

Anyone who has been on the fediverse for more than a few years knows how these waves go. This one was the same just so much larger and with a larger bump in plateau. But we also knew this is how the tech press was going to cover the inevitable slump because they only know how to cover Silicon Valley techbro pitches which only understand a false dichotomy of “unicorns”/ “going to the moon” or “dying” for not doing so. The fediverse is not one entity much less company. I’ll take the wins and keep moving forward. I like being the underdog anyway. Best bright side is the VCs chasing the new shiny ball will maybe leave us alone and go back to doing their vulture capitalism play elsewhere. Unfortunately that may be to try to make fetch happen with crypto and NFTs again. #fediverse #TechMedia #slashdot #VultureCapitalism #Twitter #TwitterMigration
Screenshot of a Slashdot post title: “The Mastodon Bump Is Now a Slump” with description reading:
The fall in Mastodon's popularity suggests the decentralized platform is not a replacement for mainstream services. An anonymous reader shares a report: Twitter users put Mastodon usernames in their handles and trumpeted their migration. The new traffic knocked many Mastodon instances, or servers, offline. In less than two months, Mastodon's monthly active users climbed from 380,000 to more than 2.5 million. But not everyone stuck around.
Mastodon's active monthly user count dropped to 1.4 million by late January. It now has nearly half a million fewer total registered users than at the start of the year. Many newcomers have complained that Mastodon is hard to use.

💡💡 Für 2023 wünsche ich mir persönlich, dass wir uns vermehrt über strategische Tech-Themen wie etwa dem Einsatz von Künstlicher Intelligenz unterhalten. Es ist endlich an der Zeit, sich wieder den wichtigen Bereichen zu widmen, anstatt darüber zu diskutieren, ob nun alle Winnetou-Filme aus der ZDF-Mediathek entfernt werden müssten. Mal schauen, was in 2023 auf uns zu kommt. Ich bin auf jeden Fall gespannt und definitiv positiv gestimmt 👍👍

Skip most of this article because if you’re here, you have already grokked the points being made.

But don’t miss the last part, because it’s got some important messages we should all heed… in part, “the smug-nerd-genius narrative helps take the complexity of the world and make it more manageable”
