In some good news that I missed from yesterday, Nintendo announced full backward compatibility for all switch games. This is exciting

Guessing we've reached "Squirrel Lives Matter" part of the campaign. Nuts!!

YouTube's new mini player (the one you get when you swipe down) gets a big nope from me. It reminds me of the awful minimized ad video players on the web. The previous version was less annoying and genuinely stayed out of the way for navigation. #youtube

I disagree with @mantia.bsky.social on a bunch of things. That doesn’t change the delight in the things he creates. I’ve forever loved his wallpapers and this Super Mario marimba ringtone is just perfect. https://www.threads.net/@mantia/post/DB5XgGUSdSV

https://bsky.app/profile/danabra.mov/post/3la3tk4afp22i @danabra.mov ‘s ATProto explanations really are great. I really enjoyed this comparison between ATProto being more like the web versus APub being more like email.

I know for most people there is no competition between WhatsApp and Signal. To me, it's a race between when WhatsApp supports usernames and signal supports multi-phone (they already support tablets and desktop companions, it's about adding another phone)

WhatsApp is working hard to launch custom lists but refuses to use system emoji.

Nintendo, you’re amazing but I really want the switch 2 — not an alarm clock and certainly not a music app.

Headed back to instapaper for a x-platform read-it-later app after omnivore’s news today.

I love Omnivore and I'm so sad it's going away.

@openvibe.bsky.social is now officially my favorite x-posting client. With threads launched, I hope they now focus on multi-thread x-posting. It’s a complex problem but I think they have the technical chops to solve it.

Also impressed by their feature parity launches in iOS and android.

I should not be surprised, but @reckless1280@threads.net 's piece is 💪. It's not because of the endorsements but the thought that's gone into the argument and the framing.
