Samsung forces repair shops to sign a TERRIBLE contract, that requires technicians to destroy your phone if they find non-Samsung parts in your device! iFixit is dropping their partnership with Samsung.
The #meta demon is really getting under my skin...
For months I have put my time and energy into making #reels cause they feel cute and it was where I had the most engagement and IG could easily connect to FB so I didn't have to deal with that BS
Now it just keeps glitching from not posting at all or screwing up the posts I make
I'm tired
This was supposed to have no audio... Now I just look ridiculous and the audio has shit context
I wish there was some super simple video making tutorial that helps people like me understand how to create effective art related short form videos.
I am tech potato, and making videos is super exhausting to me...so if someone does know some tips, tutorials, or helpful step-by-step blogposts that'd be cool.
This was a HUGE problem for years. You buy an EXPENSIVE Android phone, and try to do something BASIC, like trim the beginning and end of a video clip. Google Photos would often take longer to process that video, than the video took to play in real time (and an iPhone would finish the same task almost twice as fast).
A recent update to Photos has improved that processing time... By a LOT...
(Now you may not care about this feature. My point being is that they are innovating and going beyond the Twitter baseline, which in many ways, Mastodon is shooting for.)
How do we innovate in the Fediverse? Driven by user wants or delight?
(I don't think I have access to it yet; rolling deployment I guess)
@J12t Interesting. Not new, perhaps? A lot of the work by #meta on both #threads , IG #reels and elsewhere (I'm assuming) is in playing catch-up with #tiktok
#Instagram has totally lost its appeal to me. The push to force the adoption of #Reels by users has wrecked the feed with a bunch of stupid vertical videos.
I really hope #Pixelfed will thrive, not only for being part of the broader #Fediverse, but also for being a place where pictures still have value.
Ooops! #YouTube ha decidido que, a partir del 26 de junio, ya no se podrán subir más #stories
Las stories, bautizadas originalmente como #reels, fueron introducidas en YouTube en 2017 en un intento de copiar descaradamente las stories de instagram y snapchat. Ahora ha decidido que no le dan el suficiente dinero.
