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.

This is the dumbest solution. People are strapped down by awful debt. Instead of helping them with that, they’re going to make it easier for these indebted people to take on more debt. Brilliant!

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.

The photos are weird, but the people look totally normal. I wouldn’t think twice based on looks if they were elementary school teachers.

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.

Manipulative, interactive sex workers are not the same as “nudity”.

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.

Conservatives aren’t bound by the need to make sense or be consistent.

The women in Twitch use sex and interactive false sexual interest and love to get people to give them money and buy them gifts. In some ways that’s worse for kids than pornhub porn. Do you expect a 15 year old boy to be able to avoid the “stripper really loves me” trap?

If you don’t cringe at some of your behaviors 10 years ago, then you’re either a a teenager or somehow stopped maturing.

It’s not binary. Trump tried to overthrow democracy. Biden legally skipped congressional review.

He destroyed the Death Star and rescued a princess. Those seem notable.

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.
