feeling pretty stressed right now, having to make a couple important payments while having basically no money available and unsure about how this is gonna work out
this would be an excellent time for nice fedi beings to give me some money so i can be a little less stressed
Meta launches its much-awaited Threads API, letting developer publish posts, fetch content, manage replies, and view analytics, after an API beta in March 2024 (Ivan Mehta/TechCrunch)
@erlend@Techmeme@tchambers was trying to see if there are any client apps that have started playing with this API yet. I wonder if you can see any of the ActivityPub work from the API yet
Maybe one day #EC will take a similar step to these German organisations at https://byebyeelon.de and no longer support the hate platform #Xitter with their presence. Say #ByeByeElon ..
Basically, they want to scan everyone's chat messages for illegal stuff, which is completely disproportionate and a #privacy nightmare.
Chat Control violates fundamental rights (according to the European Data Protection Board), and the German Child Protection Association says it's not suitable to combat child abuse.
Please tell your government to vote against it! I already have.
It’s starting to feel like Threads isn’t integrating ActivtyPub in good faith. Besides no new fediverse features in many months, now they’re popping up this message which will likely discourage many users from keeping it on. And if they’re influencing people to turn it off, they could then say the data suggests people aren’t interested in the feature.
I've tried to take on the question of what it would take to make the internet public interest technology. This took me on a trip through transnational infrastructure, standards, governance, industrial policy, and a whole cast of creative thinkers and next-generation projects.
The fact that we can’t remove essential complexity with a software redesign doesn’t mean that there’s nothing we can do about it. What if the problem definition wasn’t outside of our purview? What if we could get the world to conform to the software, and not just the other way around?
Congress continues to push for censorship bills to "protect the kids" online rather than passing comprehensive privacy laws that would protect all users from predatory data gathering and sales that target us for advertising and abuse.

Don’t worry! There’s probably an AI tool that’ll neatly revise it down to the precise target length. Even in iambic pentameter! 😬🤪😁🙄
