Nope, “Thread” and “Matter” are smart device protocols. “Threads” is a microblogging platform by “Meta”, the owner of Facebook and Instagram. Tech companies suck at naming things.
Neither are to confused with the delightfully grim 1984 movie “Threads” about a nuclear apocalypse, or maybe they should be considering the possibly doomed trajectory both may be headed for.
A company that builds tools for remote working, doesn’t believe in remote working? That doesn’t seem a great look.
With Google search results increasingly swamped with SEO-laden drivel, I’ve found the gap between Google and alternatives like Qwant and DDG has shrunk a lot recently. The little guys have improved a bit, but Google has also got worse.
Twitter is now X as the little blue bird disappears
I thought the the new logo was the X11 logo at first, they are bit similar.
Also a bit ironic seeing as Musk wants Twitter X to be an “everything app”, while X11’s cruft and bloated featureset have led to it being replaced by Wayland.
Yes, if there is one lesson we should have learned from Reddit it’s that internet points aren’t great for fostering real discussion and debate.
Still, with so many new link aggregation platforms appearing to fill the Reddit void, hopefully we still end up with something better.
My Steam Deck experience has been very positive, it’s a great way to play games away from the desk. For me the controls are great, and game compatibility continues to surprise me.
I would say the only problem with the Deck is the size - it’s big. When I got mine it seemed a lot bigger than I realised, and that was after watching/reading a lot of reviews. Depending on your hands the size might be an issue. If you know anyone else with a Steam Deck I would recommend trying it out for size before buying.
Never mind zero stars, the Reddit app (and new Reddit in general) deserves negative stars.
Thankfully there is plenty of innovation in the market for fediverse apps.
Unfortunately I already read the headline, is there anywhere I can offload this now unnecessary excitement?
Python in Excel would be great, but nerfing it with some ridiculous cloud dependency is crazy. They could still paywall the feature if they really wanted while still running the Python interpretation locally.
I suppose we should be grateful they hadn’t also stuck ChatGPT on to it too so it could (badly) write the Python for you. Tech by buzzword will be the death of us I’m sure.
