Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net.

Okay. I’ve seen stuff like this on both mastodon, and here, but i haven’t heard about them doing anything that would actually harm the fediverse. I guess i don’t know what the problem is. I know they’ve got a negative reputation, and for good reason, but isn’t that the awesome part of threads being federated? We can follow and connect to people there without being part of their system, and therefor not susceptible to their bs? If I’m missing something please fill me in.

I really don’t know enough to say one way or the other, but the fact that this is an established Microsoft practice swayed me. I can actually believe google didn’t intend to do what it did to xmpp as a log of google employees from the 2000’s speak highly of the company, but these executives are traded like nfl players, and i know enough about meta’s history to believe they may do this. Besides I’m still new to development, but i don’t see many other reasons why it would take meta nearly a year to fully launch federation.

Actually this just occurred to me, but isn’t it interesting which accounts were linked first?

Not trolling. I used the repo link on the site that it gave for apt distros. Got a terminal error. That’s what i was told when i looked up the terminal error. I have absolutely no experience with docker, so i haven’t tried it.

UPDATE just saw the terminal code you shared. I’ll try that. The command i found to start the service was slightly different. Really appreciate your response.

Distros bad

I think Arch. Linux would make sense more as one of those fancy setups you’re always seeing on YouTube. The ones with the awesome ports, and the calming effect. I just started using zorin, and it’s more like one of those top of the line machines that can start the coffee automatically in the morning lol.

I’ll have to do some research on the first shortcut you mentioned. As far as i am aware the only way to reduce an image’s file size without cropping is to either change the file resolution, or reduce the quality of the file. I’m not sure if there’s a way to do that natively in shortcuts. For the second shortcut, did you turn “ask before running” off? That could explain why it’s only providing you with a notification.

Magic Keyboard vs Smart Keyboard Folio for iPad Pro

If apple remade the keyboard folio i would recommend that, but it’s far too breakable, and it doesn’t protect the iPad very well. You may want to try the Logitech combo touch since it hav much the same layout, and protects the iPad better. You loose the extra usb c port though appposed to the Magic Keyboard, but you’re paying over 100 less. Apple really needs to change the material they make their keyboard cases from in my opinion

It really depends what all you want to do with it. One of my favorites is craft. Their website is craft.do. They’re very feature rich, and offer almost as much versatility as notion, but unlike notion it lets you sync with your iCloud storage. If you can afford it therir premium plan is even better.
