Some days, it pains me that we've built such a useful service, and so few people get to even give it a chance 😔

I've done everything I possibly could (incuding, more than halving the monthly subscription price), but product marketing is something I personally suck at.

So, I am begging you, the community, to help us out. If you know anyone who would benefit from our social media news and stories aggregator, share this post with them.

Thanks! 🙏

@preslavrachev is this something similar to Nuzzel for Twitter? If so, I’m definitely adding it to my list to try out as soon as possible because I’ve been looking for something like that for a while.

Önce YZ cevapların kötü tavsiyeleri, sonra da mühendislik belgelerinin sızması Google için bu haftanın çok kötü geçmesine neden oldu. Ben de bu hafta @newslabturkey n okuyoruz| bülteninin odağı olarak googlelamak eskiden nasıl algılanırdı, şimdi nasıl algılanıyor sorusunu ele aldım.

“Ne Okuduk” bölümünde ise WaPo’nun yeni abonelik modeli, BuzzFeed’deki hissedar draması ve daha fazlası var.

Benim için sosyal medya platformları için en kritik dönüm noktalarından birisi platformdan tanıştığım kişilerle yüz yüze tanışmaya ve görüşmeye başladığım zamandır. @ahmetkkeles sayesinde geçtiğimiz Cumartesi günü bunu ilk kez Mastodon için yaşadım. O yüzden artık burası da olmaya başladı diyebilirim rahatlıkla. :)

@lanartri @ahmetkkeles benim için mesela o konuda FriendFeed ve Tumblr’ın ilk dönemleri çok özeldir. (Sonuçta eşimle ff’te tanıştık 😄) Twitter’da başlarda öyleydi ama büyüdükçe kalmadı o işler pek. Burada tekrar canlandırırız diye umuyorum :)

@lzg closest we have right now is before posting it, choosing “followers only” per post. That makes the post unboostable and only your followers can see and reply.

what’s the best city to spend one month of your life walking around doing nothing much?

ahmetasabanci,

@lzg Berlin and Istanbul but I’m leaning more towards Istanbul because that means we can meet IRL. 😁

@ahmetasabanci@mastodon.social avatar

@lzg oh yeah. Lived there for 10 years and still visit at least once a month and I still have so much I want to do.

@ahmetasabanci Hey, man -- I recall you offering to send me clips of FT articles if I found I couldn't read them? Well, I can't read this one, and I'd like to... any chance you can grab it for me? https://www.ft.com/content/14a60649-172a-45c1-99a9-039f481430e7

I would love to do a piece of research where you present Europeans with a list of other countries and ask if they're white or not, because I'd be fascinated to see the results by country.

I’m curious about the decision OpenAI made about making most of the paid stuff free (with usage limits). Unless someone uses it dozens of times a day, it’s not worth $20.

I have two theories about this change. Either they’ve found a better income model because not many people were paying for it already and decided to slowly kill it, or they’re having trouble training GPT-5 and need more data from users and this is the way they’re trying to solve it.

The wildest bag someone recommended from this post is the TomToc Navigator. It's 40L, but only weighs 2.8 lb, has water bottle holders, compression straps, great laptop/iPad compartment, and one massive clamshell bucket for clothes. And it's only $80, which concerningly cheap

If they used X-Pac or a nicer material it could be even lighter and more durable, add in stowable straps, would be an absolute slam dunk

@christianselig I’ve been using the 17L model of that bag for daily stuff and short work trips and I love it. It has all the high quality stuff I look for in the bag and my go-to recommendation for people now.

No, you just bought some early-access cyberpunk heist game on Steam because it was on offer and you thought it might be a laugh

ahmetasabanci,
@ahmetasabanci@mastodon.social avatar

@PaulGrahamRaven I would but I have no idea what it is called :)

@ahmetasabanci@mastodon.social avatar

@PaulGrahamRaven game looks really good. I’m not really good at stealth games too but turn based strategy plus cyberpunk means I need to get it. :)

ahmetasabanci,
@ahmetasabanci@mastodon.social avatar

@PaulGrahamRaven Added to my wishlist to wait for that. I’ve been also feeling the urge to playing a more stealth focused game, and thinking about reinstalling some of the MGS games but playing a new game is always better.

Fully agree with you on hacking comments btw. Whenever I read that about a game it turns out the kind of thing I’m looking for.

Tonight I gave an online workshop to a group of people who were accepted to one of our media incubator programs to develop their projects. And there were five AI meeting assistants on the call instead of those five applicants.

On the one hand I’m really pissed off about their laziness and disrespect. But on the other hand, I’m kinda happy because the assistant doesn’t understand a single word of Turkish and they ended up with bunch of garbage text.

    ABD’de TikTok’un engellenmesine sebep olabilecek yasanın yürürlüğe girmesiyle birlikte TikTok için önemli bir geri sayım başladı. Bu hafta @newslabturkey n okuyoruz| bülteninin odağında ABD’nin TikTok takıntısının arkasında yatan motivasyonları ve bunun doğurabileceği sonuçları yazdım.

    I’m doing my best to avoid latest because people trying to make it a thing have no idea how nonprofits work and as someone who spends most of his working time in or around nonprofits I really don’t have time to explain things to people who clearly have no interest in understanding it.

    ahmetasabanci,
    @ahmetasabanci@mastodon.social avatar

    Trust me, if you knew how nonprofits work or what kinds of troubles they deal with every day you’d immediately see that no one would even consider it as a tool for the conspiracies you think about. It’s worse than the worst possible option.
