Meta appears to automatically create Threads shadow accounts for everyone on Instagram and allows users to follow those shadows
  • I'm not surprised because Meta said they were doing just that. Anyone who had an account on Instagram automatically has an account reserved for them on Threads. I don't see anything nefarious about it.

  • What operating system do you use on your main computer?
  • Windows 11 Pro. It has been solid, though I am mildly annoyed that updates keep changing little things.

  • Student Loan Forgiveness: Supreme Court Rejects Biden’s Debt Forgiveness Plan
  • The next US federal election should set records for youth vote, women and feminist vote, LGBTQT2S+ vote, and racial minority vote.

  • Reddit is about to get a little less accessible
  • Enshittification is the logical consequence of modern capitalism, where profit is the ONLY consideration. Satisfied customers, happy employees, sustainability, the environment - none of that is important to a modern CEO, only profit.

  • Reddit CEO says the mods leading a punishing blackout are too powerful and he will change the site's rules to weaken them
  • So what will happen is that mods who enforce unpopular rules in a subreddit, such as "no NSFW", will get voted out. This can't possibly go wrong. /s

  • Republicans Declare Banning Universal Free School Meals a 2024 Priority
  • Given that the Republicans are nominally a Christian party, has no one in the party had a look at what Jesus taught about feeding the hungry? It is pretty clear, and it is NOT this.

  • Reddit communities with millions of followers plan to extend the blackout indefinitely
  • Imagine how differently this would have played out if Reddit CEO Steve Huffman had taken a collaborative approach with app developers and stake holders. A few months ago, he could have called them up and humbly asked them for ideas and assistance in making Reddit profitable. Reddit would be on path to financial success by now.

  • Do People Actually Want to Wear a Headset All the Time?
  • I'm wondering if it changes modes when you stand up or walk around? Still, I'm intrigued by this device that lets you essentially strap a MacBook Pro (M2 chip) to your face. Instead of using two physical monitors to edit videos, you can use two (or more) virtual monitors to edit videos. With the AR goggles, now you can edit on your couch or on an airplane or in the bathroom. Very powerful if it works well.
