Yes. This projector is one of the worst things to happen to humanity.

“How can I invent something to be angry and righteous about today?”

It is worse if a foreign company steals. It siphons money off of our economy worse than when an American company does it. It’s bad either way though and I’m glad something is being done about it in this case.

Hating kids is badass if you are a kid.

They dominate it by being having a large population and actually having regulation. It’s not rocket science. The U.S. just needs to have regulation and they could dominate it too.

None of the photo editing tools are very good relative to photoshop. Affinity photo is somehow both almost there and woefully short at the same time.

Sorry, that was a big typo in my comment. That’s what I meant. I don’t want mastadon to only have true believers. I want more of everyone and Facebook will use EEE strategies to bootstrap threads off of mastadon and then harvest everyone but the true believers away.

Threads user numbers are misleading because of how easy it is to make an account and be counted as a user due to all of the instagram tie-in.

You keep saying that people must not “trust” threads users if they think Facebook could EEE and I don’t really get what that means. I don’t honestly want mastadon to only be for true believers. It’s more interesting if a wider range of people are on there.

What is considered bigotry often is a difference of opinion though.

I’m sure this will fall on deaf ears, but here. Threads is lacking in content. Threads gets fediverse content. Instagram promotes that content, getting people to sign up and actually use it. This includes big name content creators and celebrities, authors, journalists. People on mastodon and the fediverse get used to that content. Threads starts supporting some new features or longer length or who knows what in threads. These posts are either omitted from the fediverse or are degraded to be fediverse-compatible. This annoys fediverse users who have gotten used to all the content they are now missing or seeing degraded. A significant number of them move to threads.

And on the content creator side. Threads gains a huge market share. Content creators on mastodon get used to all the threads viewers threads decides to add enhanced security or formatting requirements or some other nonsense that regularly stops mastadon creators’ content from being seen or interacted by threads users. Or threads starts heavily deprioritizing mastadon content. Either way, the mastadon creators decide to go where the audience they got used to is o threads leaving mastadon behind.

Or something more clever than either of those. Because we know meta would want to EEE if they can and there are people who will be cleaver at doing it.

Ah ok. I agree with that.

I know exactly one person who ever survived that process. I know a lot who were fired and found the whole process to be humiliating from start to finish.

There’s no way the board members tarnished their reputations and lost their jobs so they could get attention for a company they no longer work for and don’t have a stake in. That’s just silly.

Aren’t performance improvement plan’s really meant to give the employee a task that’s representative of what they are failing to do, so they will fail, and then you can fire them with proof of poor performance?

There’s no way this was a “ploy”.

They haven’t really tried because of anti trust. They need buy in from other major players and then they will be successful.

They are also working on ways to let websites cryptographically authenticate a browser. So if they wanted to badly enough, that workaround wouldn’t work.

Google has already talked about a plan to cryptographically authenticate a browser. We likely won’t be able to get around that.

Chrome’s user-base is so large that sites might start explicitly requiring chrome.
