If you think Threads is better cuz of federation then you'd love Mastodon. It's basically federated Twitter with double the word limit and more QoL features than Threads.
But yeah, Threads started as a seized opportunity after the whole X thing happened and people were looking to migrate off the platform. Meta basically tried to offer its own Twitter to syphon users into its own ecosystem.
I'm going to assume they are referring to Meta (FaceBook)'s Threads program that has recently been slated for fediverse integration. https://fortune.com/2023/07/06/mark-zuckerberg-replacing-metaverse-with-twitter-killer-threads-fediverse/
My 2¢ is that, while I don't care for the mega corpos tainting my beloved fediverse, I very much see this move as an example of how companies must "adapt or die" in action. Given Meta's track record with trying to get a foot in the door of the next big thing, I'm dubious toward their success but wish them well, as more decentralization is always welcome. Threads may fail but its users may find they like this whole "federated instances" thing, speeding up adoption.
That all said, Threads (and Instagram) are slated to be on boarded into the same ActivityPub protocol that Lemmy, Kbin, and Mastodon all use and share. So, end of the day, by default we WILL be interacting with Threads users the same way we on Lemmy currently interact with Kbin or Mastodon users.
The same freedoms and limitations of federation are and will be available to use as before. At least in the short term future.
Hasn't Bill made claims on previous PPshows that he's acquainted with Ryan? Why would he ask Larry how Ryan is, interpersonally?
Right? I'm gunna miss it a lil. YouTube was pretty much the last monthly service I was paying for purely because I was grandfathered in at such a price.
Oh well. Snip snip
Solid write up, Chives.
76mil... original float size at time of Jan 2021 sneeze.
I've picked up on this, too, and also wonder if there's any significance toward it.
Getting the True Ending in the base game of Outer Wilds. Including the credits, including after the credits. So beautifully bittersweet.
Productivity must mean nothing when you've got a giant commercial real estate hole burning in your pocket.
Think of all the wasted money! (For the company, not the workers as they commute, buy lunch, hire nannies, etc)
Y'know what, you're right. I think I am due for another rewatch.
Yeah, just a tad bit too much for me to have a "smooth" experience. But not enough to be unenjoyable or anything. Not at all. I had a blast and I'm absolutely going to enjoy my next emulated playthrough when the inspiration strikes.
Ha, I recently saw that Toy Story 2 was in the retro library of my PlayStation Premium subscription. Invited my brother over and we spent the next day or two running thru it. Clunky as hell these days but still weirdly endearing enough to be just as much fun as we remembered.
It was fun. Well, fun enough for at least a couple weeks. Soon as my co-op partner dropped it, so did I.
