Hi Stux! 👋

alex,

Mmm, a buffet. Oh wait…it’s not that kind of buffet. ;)

alex,

Ok, I’ve found this ram.

that should solve all our problems!

Twitter is looking to sue Meta for "stealing trade secrets" amongst other things regarding Threads. Could/would they also take aim at Mastodon?

Given that threads is aping Mastodon, could they come after front ends here? Or is this just megacorp slap fighting/ an unexpected (but maybe predictable) outcome of the Twitter staff purges?

alex,

Just a suggestion, you might want to insert the word “allegedly” somewhere in there because Meta is refuting that assertion.

“To be clear: ‘No one on the Threads engineering team is a former Twitter employee — that’s just not a thing” - Andy Stone, Meta’s communications director

edit: yes I know that doesn’t preclude the possibility of Meta hiring former Twitter employees and not making them part of the Threads team.

alex,

You could’ve ended that sentence with another word and it would still be accurate.

And that’s all I’m sayin’.

How many people here have actually used XMPP?

With all the current discussion about the threat that Instagram Threads has on the Fediverse and that article about how Google Embrace Extend Extinguished XMPP, I was left very confused, since that was the first time I’ve heard that Gchat supported XMPP or what XMPP actually is, and I’ve had my personal Gmail since beta (no,...

alex,

I still use it with a couple of friends on a private server.

"loginwalled" then. We know what he means.

Who’s really “being a shit” here? I see nobody else being hostile but you. Accusing people of that which you are doing yourself is called “projection”.

Nobody else is pedantically picking apart silly things like wording and terminology and then lashing out at others. Just you. We all knew what he meant. Were you ever told as a kid to “pick your battles”? Do you know what that means? Not everything deserves a response.

What’s the matter, did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning and decide to take it out on the world? Significant other break up with you or cheat on you? Got fired? Did your pet die? Why are you so angry at the world? What did it ever do to you? None of those things (whichever is applicable) is our problem.

Please, let’s leave those kinds of toxic, hostile behaviors on the dead bird site and reddit where they belong. We’re trying to build something new here.

Otherwise, “play stupid games, win stupid prizes” and people are just going to report you for repeated incivility and offensive language.

EDIT: And your reply has been reported too. Since all you know is how to behave like a child, maybe we should all treat you like one.

alex,

So that's one thing they got wrong.

There are no gymnastics necessary since he's not "our" Kirk. He's an alternate timeline Kirk. The only time we see the "real" Kirk (Lt. Kirk) is at the end of this episode where La'an space-Facetimes him.

Just after he said "oh noes if you vote for her, taxes would go up 25 to 30 per cent and businesses would flee the city."

Quite the about-face. His handlers must've told him to change his tune.
