I currently have Claude Desktop installed on a separate Mac mini M4 and control it with Dispatch. Is there a reason to do this method, it still seems the way I have it setup it has full control over the local account I gave it on the Mac mini.

I really wish Google would make a macOS desktop app for Gemini just like ChatGPT and Claude have. I'd use it much more if I could login with my sub and not have to open a web browser every single time.

People are so excited for cloud gaming, and Xbox Game Pass growing now... The price will continue to go up up up up up up. I remember when YouTube TV was $35/mo now it's $73/mo. Game Pass and all cloud gaming will slowly cost more until it's close to 1/2 the price a month of a game, and slowly creep up from there. Sad.

great work! Useful option!! 250,000 emails at $44/mo (including SES fee).

Currently paying $25 to send 250,000 emails with sendy.co for years. Also using Amazon SES. no monthly fees just pay for what you use plus one time cost of sendy.

Exactly my thoughts as well!

New comment by addajones in "Mastodon: Servers, Good and Bad"

addajones — Sun, 27 Nov 2022 18:57:10 +0000

I felt the same reading the article. So much hate towards a single human. There are many ways to express dislike or disagreement with someone or their ideas and management styles without being so explicit and rude about it. It seems like its a badge of honor and prerequisite to say "I hate Elon, ok moving on about Mastodon..." I believe it's possible to dislike someones views and still have common ground and dialog, but I guess I'm in the minority (online) now.

Exactly how it works… but you left out the US Army part this time? You kind of need that to give it value. Nothing else will. USD.

It's quite annoying honestly.

You're correct 100%. I just think the entire idea of building a userbase for free isn't so great.

Absolutely! People love to hate it’s very infectious. I personally believe for-profit social media companies should have always charged a subscription. People tend to be more respectful and use things they pay for.

Why does it matter how much he’s worth? Never understood why people are so concerned about him cutting jobs? He bought the company and took it private. It’s his right to restructure it and try to make it generate profit as he’d wish. The board of directors of public Twitter approved of this. What do people think, the USA is FOSS?
