Chipolo postpones Chipolo Point due to Android Find My Device update delays

Received this email from Chipolo about my Chipolo Point preorder.

Looks like they've had to postpone it due to Android not releasing the update in time.

This is essentially the Android equivalent of the Airtag.

Lemmy.world and another instance have been compromised
  • Not really helpful though is it? It's like going to a friend's house and asking why there is a sink hole in the middle of the floor that everyone is walking around, and they say "feel free get a hammer out".

  • Podcast recommendations?
  • I've been really enjoying Politics JOE recently. They have a podcast which is great. It's irreverent and silly at times. Aimed at those in their 20s and 30s and very much left leaning, so if that isn't you you're probably not gonna have a good time.

    Having said that, I do think they have some really interesting political takes while not taking themselves seriously.

  • Low Quality Apps
  • I can't get used to Liftoff. Too much bold text, font sizes are off - some text is far too big and some far too small. Spacing feels weird too. Jerboa feels better designed.

  • Google's messaging mess continues: Chat app now wants to be the next WhatsApp
  • I think it's meant to appeal to the US who I believe still use SMS a lot. If you're still using SMS, I guess having it switch over to RCS is a bonus.

    If you usually use WhatsApp, having a message go through as an SMS is a PITA.

  • How did Lemmy.world become more popular than Lemmy.ml?
  • As the other person mentioned, it matters to an extent because the admins of your instance have the ability to cut ties with other instances (defederation). They also have the ability to make instance wide actions like banning a community belonging to that instance (in the same way Reddit admins can ban a subreddit).

    Some instances will naturally be stricter about what types of communities are allowed and what types of instances they will federate with. For that reason, it's important the instance you join aligns with your values, e.g. you probably don't want to join an instance that tolerates alt right communities.

  • How did Lemmy.world become more popular than Lemmy.ml?
  • Just think of each separate site (AKA 'instances', like lemmy.world, sh.itjust.works) as different competing versions of Reddit. All with their own different subreddits.

    The key difference though is that these instances are all partnered together ('federated') because they are running on the same technology so you can see posts from the other instances.
