  • Yeah, I don’t really understand how you are getting downvoted for saying this in various comments.

    Are people actually worried they would would see straight up ads coming into their mastodon feeds if their server federates with Threads? That’s a pretty wild assumption to make.

    If you follow the Coke brand account, then you’ll see Coke brand posts (even then I wouldn’t consider those “ads” in a traditional sense), but if you follow MBKHD or, hell, the Barack Obama account you won’t have a sudden influx of ads for Pepsi or whatever in your feed.



  • I hope they don’t get stingy on the ports.

    I know some people will “everything is usb-c now!” except everything isn’t, so stop.

    I have a ten year old Mac Mini on my desk that has two FireWire, four usb, an sd card reader, and Ethernet. I still want most of these things (though, of course swap FireWire for some number of usb-c). I don’t want to HAVE to buy a dock for this machine.

    In hearing that it’ll be smaller, my initial assumption is Apple will do the Apple thing and arbitrarily reduce the number of ports while saying “if you want more here’s the Mac Studio that’s way more expensive!”
