Yo sigo pensando lo mismo que el primer día que se anunció: Threads no es más que un intento rápido de captar a la gente que se iba de twitter, y les era más rápido montarlo con un protocolo ya existente y libre de patentes que hacer el suyo de cero. Y de paso lo de federar les aleja un poco de alguna demanda por monopolio. No creo que haya más que eso detrás.

El mismo nombre de Threads es reciclado, Instagram ya sacó un clon de snapchat llamado así en 2019 y lo chaparon en 2021...

Apparently, they lost a guy.

Reminder: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Good news: in the first week of March, a #RightToRepair bill, which had been in the making for several years, passed the legislature in Oregon. As we can only repair technology relying on software if the user is free to do so, the right to repair and software freedom go hand in hand. https://u.fsf.org/43j https://www.fsf.org/campaigns/fight-to-repair

See, _that's_ an April Fools joke I enjoy. Not making fun at the expense of someone, just being a bit cheeky and weird.

Bonus points for immediately resolving the weirdness instead of leaving people confused, for linking to an explanation of the in-joke (xkcd 624), and for adding a queer-friendly spin to it.

Well done, @Codeberg. 💜

I fired up #Picotron this morning and saw something new in the code editor! 😱
Guess it was only unlimited tokens during the introductory price period..? 👀

Open source development is a pretty good argument for implementing UBI.
