Fear, loathing, and excitement as Threads adopts open standard used by Mastodon
  • willing to adopt an open standard they’re not in control of

    yet

    Make no mistake, they will certainly try to capture the standard under their exclusive influence, just like Google has done with everything web related.

  • Instagram’s Threads surpasses 100 million users
  • You should remember that there's a lot of numbers between 0 and 1.4 billion - say, 100 million.

    Why would they not pad their numbers if they cannot meaningfully be held accountable?
    If padding with X users is projected to generate the most profit, then they are going to do just that.

  • twitter layoffs going extremely well rule
  • Most probably this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_(app)

    Blind is an app that provides an anonymous forum and community for verified employees to discuss issues. Users on Blind are grouped by topics, company and their broader industry. The app verifies that the registered users actually work in the company through their work email and claims to keep user identities untraceable.

  • Lemmy faces the same expectations problems as every free/libre software

    Though, how ironic is it that this post might as well have been generated by a bot?
    Literally a screenshot of a comment without attribution and with an account 2 hours old...

  • [C question] Best way to change features of the program at compile time: #if((n)def) or if (const)?
  • I'm no C expert, so take this with a grain of salt, but wouldn't any reasonable optimizing compiler remove the constant check at compile-time?

    Of course, this is not guaranteed and depends on the compiler flags, so preproc should be preferred if compile-time is desired.
