Even easier. It’s off by default in enterprise and education SKUs.

We all await your commit containing all those simple unit tests with bated breath.

If you’re going to allow US news then for the love of puppies include a rule that requires the subject to include the country.

American football is (semi-)frequently called gridiron in Australia. I’d say most people would know what sport you meant if you called it that.

We usually call soccer, soccer but soccer nerds and those with close English heritage will call it football to feel superior.

We are all here because we don’t want to be a part of a corporate controlled social platform. Threads theoretically making it more difficult to communicate with their users - something we can’t do at all today - is not going to suddenly change our minds.

If your friends are on Threads now and you’re on Activity Pub then that problem already exists. If they start seeing all sorts of cool content - without any ads - coming from “that Lemmy thing” then yes absolutely a good number will switch. Not all, because some people are lazy, or don’t care, or fearful of different technology, but that’s not going to change just because Threads is federated.

I asked how the circumstances are similar, not vague descriptions that suit your existing views. But sure.

XMPP was dogshit back in 2004. A good idea, but nowhere NEAR what it needed to be to actually get mainstream acceptance. ActivityPub is light years ahead.

There were very very few XMPP users in 2004. There are millions of ActivityPub users. If meta was to pull the plug on federation it wouldn’t kill ActivityPub, there would still be millions of us here. We joined Lemmy/Kbin/Mastodon because we don’t want to live in a centrally controlled/owned social platform. That won’t change just because we can suddenly interact with Threads users. In fact, if anything, once Threads users hear that we get the same shit they do without the ads, they might decide to join us instead.

Google killing off XMPP integration didn’t kill XMPP. It did that all on its own.

The Ploum article again. Please explain how the circumstances with XMPP and ActivityPub are remotely similar.

When Google started using XMPP in Talk, 20 years ago, it was crap. I haven’t used it in probably 15 years but it wasn’t great then either.

Not even a little bit. XMPP was rubbish.

What point in that linked blog swayed you? The circumstances are quite different. XMPP was dogshit when Google started working with it. ActivityPub is light years ahead.

Yeah I dunno bud, I think there’s a pretty big difference between fighting with your siblings and raping them.

A proper REST API sounds like exciting news to me, and I’m sure anyone who needs to interact with their APIs…

Wait is this a thing? Do Americans legitimately call it “togo”? I came in here to find out what sort of food togo was.

You can’t go posting something like “cum x scandal” and then just walk away Lileath. We need closure on this.

Speak for yourself! I was half-way out the door with my snow boots and plane tickets in hand.

Well this will really blow your skirt up: Teams runs in Edge (WebView) already.

Mate “speeds are not amazing” is a massive understatement. I pay $80 a month for 46Mbps down, 12Mbps up. Unlimited data thankfully, although realistically the most I’m going to be able to download is 5TB a month unless I leave devices on all day and night (and given our electricity prices that’s a whole different kettle of fish).
