This seems problematic.

#Threads

Threads screen shot - So in @threadsapp it seems like we can EITHER block hateful commenters on our post OR hide their reply for everyone... but we can't do both is this happening to anyone else?&10;We don't want transphobes and misogynists in our replies, AND we don't want out followers to have to see the hate they spew either.

Nugs.net picture-in-picture is a lovely multi tasking gem. 💎

Check my understanding please:

#Threads will include #ActivityPub shortly. This means those post will not be included in the #federated timeline, but just gives me the ability to follow those accounts?

Thank you 💜

Kinda interesting I am in one of the first million to join #Threads.

Still not in my plant to use it. Though I am there.

My take: Avoid Threads. Not for any nefarious truly, you are already on Facebook/Instagram.

Simply, just because the data you create is better on a Mastodon instance you can migrate and save if you need to. It is time to maintain your own presence online with a personal domain. Make it your own. RSS, Fediverse and Mastodon can help you get to who needs to see it.

What to know about threads.

I wonder at what point #ads will be injected to the #Threads timeline. 🧐

The first time in a long time all of my Eve door sensors are working.

I had a fierce battle with some cheap 1/2AA Amazon Basics batteries.

Then, firmware issues.

Feels good to clear the ! off of the Home App.

To iOS 17? Or to not?

First year I have not jumped on it right away for daily phone. Guess I have grown up since iOS 3. The third release is tempting me.

I will give it to them. The #Mastodon official app after yesterday’s update is very solid. 🎉

Dear Apple

I have said this before, though I’d like it discussed again amongst the board of directors

If you use #Eve HomeKit door sensors, I would advise to avoid updating to 2.1.3. After update none of them are responsive. It’s frustrating.

Apparently, I am not the only one. I hate to link to it but a Reddit thread about it here confirms I am not alone.

Mammoth for iOS just updated with a changed profile view. I much prefer it to the past version.

I am glad that Super Mario RPG and Super Mario Bros Wonder made it to the game vouchers. Though I hope they the program going through the end of the year.

Buying both now, so far in advance, kinda stinks.

I am super excited for Super Mario RPG to get a remake!

I have five Mastodon apps on my phone. Thing is I love them each in their own way. Just cycle through when I want something different.

#Reddit CEO praises #Elon #Musk’s cost-cutting as protests rock the platform

Annnnnnd boom goes the dynamite.

Wait….what?

AAAA Batteries

My wife is still on Twitter to follow celebs and cute animals only. (We will move her one day.)

Her account was suspended without any reason. Just poof suspended. So weird.

It is a bummer the #AppleCard does not have FindMy built in. I think there is a missed opportunity there.

If you’re like me and used r/nintendoswitchdeals on #Reddit to find low cost games there is hope.

DekuDeals shows the same information on promos with price tracking. (Also can do #Playstation, #XBox as well as #Nintendo #Switch games.

These are always fun. An updated #homescreen layout. I made a folder of #Fediverse services/apps for easy access.

With my #Reddit account gone it has opened up time to try other sites:

Just playing with each of them to see how they drive. We will see how it goes.

Well, I don’t foresee things changing at #Reddit after the botched AMA yesterday.

So today I deleted my 11 year old account after purging anything personal related. (Mostly car photos.)

Breaks my heart to do it honestly. #Apollo deserves better.

I am honestly counting down until #Reddit pulls the #Apollo is closing post.

Only a matter of time because it contains the links to the convo proof of Reddit making up the lie that they were attempted to be extorted.

Apollo will shut down on June 30th

#Apollo has been amazing since I began using it years ago. After 6/30 (or before) I will close out my 10 year #Reddit account. Just like I did my 15 year #Twitter account. This long thread I linked above will give enough context as to why. Reddit does not value their true core of what made Reddit Reddit. Users. For years they have profited off our submitted content to turn around and treat users this way.

Also what chaps me is that Reddit did not even make their own app! They bought a third party app (Blue Alien) much like Twitter did (Tweetie). They owe their success to these developers more than anything. Entire situation is dare I say bullshit.

One thought I had one the #VisionPro was that it is $3,499 plus tax. Meaning youll have to add on upwards of $335 (highest state tax I found LA with 9.55%) to that price.

Then again if you’re spending that on a VR set. Probably won’t bother you. Time to find a friend in Oregon or Montana. #WWDC #Apple
