The admins are asking what the threat is, and the only response so far has been “but they are evil”.

Aside from the “well duh” factor, and the fact that this wasn’t even a secret, The demo had to happen long before it was ready to ship because the FCC filings were slated to go public and they didn’t want the world to find out about the phone from that source.

This wasn’t the demo of a defective unit shipped to customers, it was the demo of incomplete software and hardware. The reception of the first iPhone was overwhelmingly positive. So much so that Google abandoned their plans for Android being a BlackBerry knockoff.

The whole thing boggles my mind. Keep in mind that a good number of “Pro” users are corporate types running PowerPoint and Excel but certainly wouldn’t stoop to using a consumer model.

In D&D this would pass a group stealth check because more than half of the group passed.

No one is leading or trailing, because no one has voted.

Polls are not even a little bit predictive this far out.

Polls contain no actionable data for voters unless they are looking days before the election and want to strategically vote in a race with more than 2 candidates.

Sinkit for Reddit does the job on iPhones. It isn’t Apollo, but it makes the web interface usable.

I’m not talking about interactions between instances, I’m talking about Google and Bing indexing Mastadon. That’s who we should be using for search.

When the rest of Hasbro’s business is tanking, they need to exploit the one property that is still making money.

Sigh. Time for another round of patents that all say the same thing, except instead of “…but using the internet” they will be “…but using AI”.

No, you are disappointed that Mastadon doesn’t have the same feature set as Twitter. The fact that you can search off instance at all is impressive. What you are asking for is like saying you should find GM cars in Ford’s search bar. Each instance is its own website. Search engines are designed to do what you want, and as Mastadon grows in popularity, it’s search results will become more prominent.

If you can’t explain how the change makes the company more money, it isn’t enshitification.
