If there’s XMPP involved in that pattern then I question your recollection of events that happened. If anything this is going to be more like e-mail where commercial service providers might want to set up some obstacles to avoid spam but also hurt little guys in the process. We’ll see how that goes with EU DSA laws though.

I tried to use AutoSleep and it’s just too janky and annoying to use though. Being able to trigger alarm early based on sleep cycle stage was a game changer though.

Having own client API doesn’t affect ActivityPub compatibility.

They’ll probably pull the rug one way or another. Maybe they won’t because users could then move from Threads to a Mastodon instance that supports their favorite app and still keep in touch with all the people they follow.

If you’re reliant on third party add-ons you don’t have a choice. Bloomberg and Eikon are two examples that didn’t have a good Python API back then. Even after I started to use Python more sometimes I had to script opening up Excel itself, forcing formula refresh and exporting that.

You also need to consider that average Joe at a big financial corporation knows Excel so he uses that for everything. People that know Python are more expensive.

There are environments where Excel is used as glue that does faux-ETL for very unpredictable data which is so small in volume you don’t even consider a database. Also, database would mean MS Access which is just icky so it was used only when necessary.

I think at certain point you’re kind of expected to switch to INDEX & MATCH. I did plenty of Excel macros for work back in the day and at similar point I just switched to doing things in Python.

Apple recreating Google Inbox would be an ultimate power move.

There’s no real harm in that unless they spam, at which point those accounts can be banned which shouldn’t overwhelm moderators.

So far we only have a corpo fedi-twitter in form of Threads. In that case non-corpo instance user has to specifically follow someone before their content is federated so that sounds like a bit overblown issue.

That’s why I keep saying it’s pointless to defederate corpos. They’ll just scrape everything before you notice.

You really need to create an account and do some regular activity for a reasonable amount of time rather than doing this over and over.

I don’t want to sound like an ass but its quite likely that much of your experience is caused by weed, especially being content with mediocrity and mild depression. I’m speaking from current experience of how much my perception of things is changing on a t-break.

Anyone else need an invite, let me know xd

I expect to be held liable for people I invite to other people’s places, therefore I don’t invite randos or people that have proven to have little regard for others.

I encourage everyone considering sending the invite to review OP’s comment history. I was about to share one but yikes.

It’s a new blockchain. It’ll fizzle out but we’ll come up with a new buzzword by then.

Doesn’t appear that the rule is enforced consistently and in my experience is used mostly to remove Twitter related news, even those that aren’t really business (like primary domain change, which broke some extensions). At the same time posts about pricing changes of streaming services are OK.

Why not browse your subscriptions through subscriptions section? I understand that it’s annoying that you can’t make it default on startup in the app but it’s there.
