That should certainly be entertaining. Frankly, I’m surprised he didn’t try it last time. But why the half measures? Why not just have all his political opponents shot?

I won’t install Facebook Messenger because fuck Zuck and his privacy-raping software.

I’m a supertaster and hypervigilant, so all my senses are dialed up to 11. My memory is also unusually good. Also my son claims I have “Poon vision”, but I’m not crazy about that idea.

Thirty-nine years ago I worked night shift during college. I’m still trying to straighten out my circadian rhythms.

Our rulers are hell-bent on killing off the majority of life on this planet, including our species. Can’t help but wonder if people will ever wake up and do the obvious.

There’s just no good reason to have a profit motive in social media when it simply doesn’t need to be there.

Exactly! In that regard, it’s like health care. The profit motive can only harm the public.

ActivityPub integration is another feature they can use to get attention.

See, that’s what I don’t understand. ActivityPub means nothing to the vast majority of potential Threads users. There’s no way that Meta is going to use ActivityPub to gain users; all they have to do is what they HAVE done, leverage Instagram. The only thing that makes sense to me is that they may be hoping that federation will allow them to get around the EU’s limitations.

But even that doesn’t really make sense. Zuck doesn’t really care that much about regulations. He breaks them all the time. Which leaves me with the question, why ActivityPub? What aren’t we seeing?

That’s an interesting point. Can anyone take your original content and repost it to make money? As I understand it, anything you create is theoretically copyrighted at the moment you created. You’re not required to file a copyright, at least not in the United States.

That’s a pretty poor summary. It’s not all that much shorter than the blog post itself. Could you tell the AI to be much more concise?
