  • The announcement comes after Twitter announced across-the-board job cuts earlier on Thursday, with plans to lay off 9 percent of its workforce, which equals about 350 people. The company also said in a letter to shareholders that it was going to prioritize some parts of its business, while deprioritizing others.

    Twitter was financially in a bad shape for a long time, the first year they generated some profit was 2018. Source Vine existed 2012-2017, I think they couldn’t figure out how to monetize it. Twitter was a text based platform, tiktok was designed for video from conception.

    But I still don’t know why they didn’t try to sell it instead of shutting it down.

    Coub was also nearly shut down in 2022, it seems like it’s hard to profitably maintain a short video service.

    One more thing could have an important impact was music rights. Tiktok has special deals with record labels for background music, Coub was Russian, so they could just pirate music. Streaming wasn’t big back than, only spotify existed, labels couldn’t figure yet out how to milk internet users, so I guess Vine couldn’t get as good deals as it would now. Too early, too legal.

    Since I stopped using mainstream socialmedia I can’t follow musicians I’m interested in. Some have a bandcamp page and rss works there, but they just upload their albums there, nothing else. At least I get notified about new releases. I tried to follow facebook and instagram pages via rss-bridge, but it’s not working for years now. My selfhosted bibliogram sometimes work, but it’s unmaintained so it will die at some point if instagram changes something. (I just found there is a maintained fork, yess) My ip usually gets blocked, so I get all posts once a week only in batch.

    So I’m interested, unfortunately none of them enabled fedi integration yet, (afaik it’s a settings for them in threads) so I’m waiting when they will enable it for everyone.

    I don’t want to debate about politics or whatever you are afraid of.



  • Iphone 4 had a shitty antenna design. This was the first iphone with a metal frame around, on the sides of the phone. If you holded it with your left hand you could easily accidentally short the two parts of the antenna, basically cutting all signals.

    This was definetily a design fault, there was even class action lawsuit against Apple. When they asked Steve Jobs about this, he replied:

    “You are holding it wrong.”






  • It’s a Fujitsu W26361 There isn’t a lot of info about it on the net, all the links are rotten.

    You have a sata port. You have to use an external power supply for that. Or maybe one of the pins next to it can supply the required voltage, you can use a multimeter to figure it out if you are brave. I guess the white one labeled PWR should be supply some volts. To be safe you can split the power of the other sata ssd or buy something like this:

    You also have 2 an mPCIe or mSATA port. It’s impossible to tell the difference from a photo, because they use the same connector.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express#Mini-SATA_(mSATA)_variant

    Without any more knowledge I would guess at least one of them is an mPCIe. Having 2 sata ports and an 2 mSATA next to it would be strange, they could use the mPCIe for a 3G modem or wifi, it would make more sense in a thin client like this.

    If it’s an mPCIe you can buy a sata expansion there and even connect up to 4 sata drives. Looks like something like this:

    You can convert it to normal PCIe or m.2, the possibilities are endless:

    If it’s not mPCIe but mSATA, you can buy mSATA SSD there, they are really rare nowadays. Or you can buy an mSATA to SATA adapter:

  • I just read the article and they say exactly what I guessed:

    “This approach would guarantee stability on the appointed release day, but was proving unpopular with consumers looking to adopt the latest features and hardware support as well as silicon vendors looking […] to align their Ubuntu support,” Canonical’s Brett Grandbois explains.

    But to “provide users with the absolute latest in features and hardware support, Ubuntu will now ship the absolute latest available version of the upstream Linux kernel at the specified Ubuntu release freeze date, even if upstream is still in Release Candidate (RC) status.”
