Having own client API doesn’t affect ActivityPub compatibility.
They’ll probably pull the rug one way or another. Maybe they won’t because users could then move from Threads to a Mastodon instance that supports their favorite app and still keep in touch with all the people they follow.
If you’re reliant on third party add-ons you don’t have a choice. Bloomberg and Eikon are two examples that didn’t have a good Python API back then. Even after I started to use Python more sometimes I had to script opening up Excel itself, forcing formula refresh and exporting that.
You also need to consider that average Joe at a big financial corporation knows Excel so he uses that for everything. People that know Python are more expensive.
There are environments where Excel is used as glue that does faux-ETL for very unpredictable data which is so small in volume you don’t even consider a database. Also, database would mean MS Access which is just icky so it was used only when necessary.
I think at certain point you’re kind of expected to switch to INDEX & MATCH. I did plenty of Excel macros for work back in the day and at similar point I just switched to doing things in Python.
There’s no real harm in that unless they spam, at which point those accounts can be banned which shouldn’t overwhelm moderators.
I guess it’s fine as long as EPP led governments in Poland and Lithuania do this, just not Orban because he’s a bit of an ass.
So far we only have a corpo fedi-twitter in form of Threads. In that case non-corpo instance user has to specifically follow someone before their content is federated so that sounds like a bit overblown issue.
That’s why I keep saying it’s pointless to defederate corpos. They’ll just scrape everything before you notice.
Glad to hear, thanks for the update.
It’s Dungeons and Dragons that did. And fidget spinners.
EU cogs move slow, that’s why Apple drags this out in this way.
I was among reddit refugees a year ago and it took me a moment to notice what was going on ml and their communities were more significant in comparison to what we have today.
One of the reasons I’m on sopuli.xyz now is that it was one of the first reasonably big instances to defederate hexbear outright. Hesitance and outright hostility to defederate it from some instance admins was also worrying.
Yeah, it was Dell D6000. I switched to a single big monitor while my gf is using my old setup for remote work and she’s never noticed anything off. We’re also using some Lenovo DisplayLink docks in the office and those are ever so slightly laggier but still OK for that type work. Obviously it’s a bit of a niche case and last resort for personal use but I wouldn’t write them off wholesale.
They will focus specifically on subscription based apps to finance Apple technology ransom fee so you know it’s safe to ignore what’s there for now.
I found my current and previous job via LinkedIn but I applied through company recruitment portals. It’s an ok job board / aggregator for us corporate types. You just have to ignore extremely deranged and deluded people posting ego stroke fests and the most inane advice.
It was perfectly fine on my M1 Mac + Thunderbolt 3 / DisplayLink dock for 2x1080p@60. You could feel slight input lag and a hint of judder in video games but for video and office work you wouldn’t be able to tell it wasn’t native.

If there’s XMPP involved in that pattern then I question your recollection of events that happened. If anything this is going to be more like e-mail where commercial service providers might want to set up some obstacles to avoid spam but also hurt little guys in the process. We’ll see how that goes with EU DSA laws though.
