Threads released their API for devs to check it out before the API release at the end of June.

There has to be an algorithm, though. Even word of mouth rewards the loudest voices, the people with the most friends.. Newest first rewards posts in more popular time zones.

WRT a photo a day. Artificial deadlines limit creativity . Best to do shorter durations or give yourself a head start (200 photos before you start publishing).

”The program remains fully independent of NATO. France is the only member of the alliance that doesn’t belong to its Nuclear Planning Group, and President Macron holds full authority over potential use.”

LinkedIn is the new Twitter

Humblebrags mixed with influencer posts and how-to threads with an occasional sprinkle of borrowed TikToks and Reels culminating in deep insights with AI-generated illustrated images.

”But the catch is that no one can see the posts.

You can publish as many posts as you like. The app even lets you add photos to your posts as well. But you’re sending those posts into the void. Developer Pat Nakajima said on Threads that no post leaves your device and all likes are fake.”

”Bluesky is basically abstracting out each layer of a social media service and allowing anyone to provide alternatives at each layer…

It creates a system that feels as simple and comprehensive as a centralized system, but which is actually decentralized, and enables anyone else to jump in and provide additional services and features at each layer.”

”Bitkey, as a self-custodial solution, sits somewhere between a stand-alone Tapsigner and a fully-open, interoperable multisig wallet. It does better than the stand-alone Tapsigner in some areas (e.g. 2-of-3 security), while poorer in other areas (e.g. not interoperable; tightly coupled to Block as things stand).”

They didn't even bother to change the word "toot" on in the Dutch language

Yes, he did not "build" TruthSocial but took source code and added anoher front end

The current source code is from 2022 meaning that they don't comply with the Mastodon licence OR they run a old version that has critical security flaws

Talk about a major fail..

”in 2016, the task force created new software that could "be installed on iOS and Android that intercept traffic for specific sub-domains, allowing us to read what would otherwise be encrypted traffic so we can measure in-app usage. This is a 'man-in-the-middle approach,'"…
