Threads Is Trying to Make Itself More Like Bluesky | Lifehacker Mosseri: "We are rebalancing ranking to prioritize content from people you follow, which will mean less recommended content from accounts you don’t follow and more posts from the accounts you do starting today. For you creators out there, you should see unconnected reach go down and connected reach go up. This is definitely a work in progress – balancing the ability to reach followers and overall engagement is tricky – thanks for your patience and keep the feedback coming." ---- It's a good change, and resolves a problem Threads itself created. Threads, like other social media platforms, offers users two feeds. "For you," which displays algorithmically sorted content from both accounts you follow and those you don't, and "Following," which only shows posts from accounts you follow. The problem is, Threads always defaults back to the "For you" tab, even if you last left off on "Following." So each time you open a new Threads session, you're seeing content from people you don't follow, whether you like it or not. --- In addition to algorithmic changes, Threads also rolled out custom feeds this week. These feeds let you choose a specific topic or set of accounts to follow, rather than simply scroll through the general For you or Following feeds. As it happens, Bluesky also has custom feeds, and has for some time now. Fancy that. ------

Maybe they are deploying their T-34s.

I'm confused, you're a ginger yet you appear to have a soul.

What happens when they put up large displays of Nazi and other white supremacist tweets alongside their ads in court? Not a lawyer, but fairly certain they were doing screencaps of the Nazi/racist/disinformation stuff being displayed with their ads when it was happening just in case Elmo threatened them/sued them (I believe he was threatening them when it was happening). Seems like they could make a decent claim that their brands were being damaged by Elmo allowing that shit on there.

Connie Britton taking a shit while reading the phone book with a hoarse voice? In. Four hours of Connie staring into the distance and not moving? In.

Same. Only redeeming quality is Cousin Eddie and

Remember last month when Musk asked idiots to upload their medical records to Twitter? https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/18/well/x-grok-health-privacy.html Elon Musk Asked People to Upload Their Health Data. X Users Obliged.

He is perfect for this role. The discussion with his daughter and if she is being careful was hilarious and perfect for him. Discussing Eskimo brothers:

The movie had a nude Dina Meyer.

So is a Discovery of Witches better?

Yep, my middle-schooler would rather stay home and play Minecraft online with his friends. *sigh* For those younger kids not lucky enough to have a local porn fairy leaving porn hidden in the woods, or behind convenience stores or in the ceiling of the 6th grade boys bathroom, stall #2, the SI Swimsuit Edition was a crucial part of our childhood.

Yeah, my kid's school here in Austin has a range of kids that walk/ride to school, although the younger kids are always accompanied by other kids or an older sibling. We are also seeing kids in 5th grade and up on electric bikes going all over town now. I think the kids just need to avoid the creeks/homeless camps. My biggest concern as a parent if my middle-schooler is out-and-about, is assholes on cellphones blowing through stop signs/red lights.

They’ll find some personal pet projects of some Congressional member and find out that they have little power. They talked about it a lot but yeah, they won’t touch it. Elon is in over his head. He doesn’t understand Congressional budgets. He thinks the government is like Twitter and you can just fire an arbitrary percentage of people, it’ll be fine and the government will still function, or he can unplug a few server racks or data centers and things can still function.

Finally watched the whole thing. Damn good time loop movie, close to Groundhog. And yeah, the old lady was in the loop.

Bluesky network analyser "find people followed by lots of the people you follow (but not you)."

Marvel Boss Kevin Feige On 'Fantastic Four', 'Deadpool & Wolverine' " Appearing onscreen at the showcase wearing a blue Fantastic Four cap, he pointed at the hat when asked which Marvel title he was most excited for in 2025. “Finally, [we’re] bringing Marvel’s First Family into the MCU,” said Feige about the long-in-the-works project. “They wrap next week, the movie comes out next summer, and then all those characters go right into the next Avengers movies, so I’m very excited for the future of the Fantastic Four.” ---- The film stars Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Julia Garner and others in an ensemble cast. It will start Phase Six of the MCU, with Feige producing. A Fantastic Four reboot has been in the works since at least 2017 and the current iteration has been in production for most of 2024. Feiged said that Thunderbolts*, set to premiere in May 2025, is “what Marvel is all about.” The film stars the likes of Florence Pugh ads Yelena Belova, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes and David Harbour as Red Guardian, who form an antihero group who perform missions from the U.S. government. “It’s taking characters from all different types of places and franchises and putting them together,” he said. “That’s what the Avengers is, that’s what Guardians of the Galaxy is.” --- “I think you will see that continues in our next few movies with some X-Men players that you might recognize. Right after that, the whole story of Secret Wars really leads us into a new age of mutants and of the X-Men.”

So leaving twitter for another platform means they are still mentally captured by their tormentor? You should be happy as hell because almost everybody you hate has left twitter.

And now they are at 81,000 starter packs. Bluesky Starter Packs - Bluesky Directory And BlueSky and Mastodon users can now talk to each other Bluesky and Mastodon users can now talk to each other with Bridgy Fed | TechCrunch An important step toward a more interoperable “fediverse” — the broader network of decentralized social media apps like Mastodon, Bluesky and others — has been achieved. Now users on decentralized apps like Mastodon, powered by the ActivityPub protocol, and those powered by Bluesky’s AT Protocol, can easily follow people on other networks, see their posts, and like, reply and repost them. Those same people will be able to see the others’ posts in return, too. The technology making this possible is Bridgy Fed, one of the efforts aimed at connecting the fediverse with the web, Bluesky and, perhaps later, other networks like Nostr. .... Bridgy Fed To bridge an account from the fediverse to Bluesky, you simply follow the Mastodon account @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy. The account will follow you back. You’ll then automatically have a new, bridged account available to Bluesky users under your fediverse/Mastodon handle (where the second @ is now a dot) followed by “ap.brid.gy.”

And that he will literally be sitting next to the heads of agencies that regulate his companies and/or send millions of dollars of contracts to his companies. Deep State.

I moved over to Team Fortress 2 and never looked back, even with the bots.

Depending on how it’s counted (if he says the same thing twice in a day does it count), Putin has personally mentioned using nukes 40-60 times since February of 2022. Russian state TV talk shows in the evenings have mentioned it 200+ times, He’s the toddler threatening to hold his breath.

As pointed out in replies, the same guy who wrote that dialogue wrote this scene:
