indeed I followed all the points mentioned here but that you Fediverse point of view since I do not have an account on their platform.
I understand from the publication you are referring to regarding the domain name that it had not been updated in certain documents.
I don't know if the complexity of transferring usernames is related because the identifier is pseudo@domaine.xxx is written hard in messages.
Good ❤ Personally I also don't use it, just for this project (it's pretty bad, so you are not missing anything ❤)
It might be complex, but if they wanted to I'm sure they could easily solve it, wouldn't even cost them 73 billion like the Metaverse (which never got solved tbh) hehe
Laurens @ ConnectedPlaces explored this topic a bit in Fediverse Report 147 - I couldn't read the article he's linking to, because it's paywalled, but he quotes Conner Hayes (head of Threads) saying:
"It’s something that we’re supporting, it’s something that we’re maintaining, but it’s not the thing that we’re talking about that’s gonna help the app break out".
Must say Metas commitment to the fediverse always felt kind of halfbaked, because afaik, you had to enable the fediverse connection from Threads manually, which was/is not going to help adoption

👍 Always felt like a fail-safe, just in case the #Fediverse user numbers explode.
Yes they hide it well!
@JBrickelt963
Yes that was actually very clever marketing and strategizing
"Hey look, we're doing this new-fangled thing and btw. we're open now..."
@JBrickelt963 Exactly 😀 I actually didn't expect Threads to still exist by now, I'd expect it to be re-integrated into Facebook, like they're doing with the Messenger service.
I think they can't for now, because it's their "super fast growing social media start up" now, they probably still need it for stock price reasons ;)

Would one analyst who foretold that this was a future and the Meta is leading the new revolution admit that they were wrong and that they recommended people to put their savings into something that has no fundamental value?

I don't always agree with the things that say or do the current political leader of my country,
But yesterday, at DAVOS, he nailed it!!
Thank you Mr Carney.
He is the typical "center right" politician. Not much to say about him.
But he said something like "Canada is not in some kind of re-adjustments, it's a rupture."
I was not expecting him to say this.
Was expecting him to lick Trump ass like everyone else.
This doesn't mean I endorse whatever he said or will say in the future.

14 bici cargo a meno di 3k€, altro che Leapmotor T03
Qualche giorno fa @benzinazero aveva pubblicato la foto di questa pubblicità ingannevole, e il post linkato spiegava le varie ragioni per cui è stupida.
Ho trovato questo video "14 alternative all'auto a meno di 3000€", in tedesco, ma con traduzione e tutti i link nella descrizione.
14 bici particolari, molte un po' matte, tutte fantastiche, che fanno anche più della Leapmotor, ad un prezzo molto inferiore, specialmente considerando i costi di esercizio.

Somewhere in the USA. High above the city, this abandoned penthouse cinema spans the top two floors of a narrow 10-storey building. This #ArtDeco era theatre started life as a vaudeville venue but appears to have fallen out of use when other theatres switched to movies.
In the early 1960s it came back into use, showing foreign and art-house films. Within a decade the cinema would close for good.

Considerado le tematiche spesso affrontate in queste piattaforme molta gente verrebbe a conoscenza di un mondo (open source) che ora ignora. E soprattutto al diritto alla privacy, ormai di fatto eclissato dal "comfort".

LibreFind: l’app Android che trova alternative FOSS alle applicazioni proprietarie
LibreFind nasce con un obiettivo molto chiaro: aiutare gli utenti Android a individuare rapidamente quali applicazioni installate non sono libere e quali alternative open source possono sostituirle. L’app il cui repository è pubblicato su GitHub analizza il dispositivo, confronta i pacchetti con un database ospitato su Firebase Firestore e restituisce un elenco ordinato di software proprietario insieme a suggerimenti FOSS pertinenti. L’idea è semplice ma potente, perché permette di avere una panoramica immediata del livello di libertà del proprio telefono e di intervenire con scelte più consapevoli.
