There is deepwiki, which can give you a similar overview. You will need to do the subsequent animations yourself afterwards

Weird, it loads instantly for me. Maybe you have some settings that are blocking the page?

It will redirect you to a random community, so it wouldn’t make much sense to subscribe to it. The apps will likely add a button or menu somewhere for you to use it

The benefit is that the other microblogging platforms might also implement or improve threadiverse support if this goes well. We could get more activity and users from the people who are only on a microblogging platform

I agree, rather I was surprised that threads grew big enough for people to be trying to migrate away from it.

In my area / friend circles, I don’t know anyone that continued to use Threads after the initial launch. However, there are people using Mastodon, Bluesky, and Twitter

The tooltip explanation for the handles should help, since that’s a very common point of confusion.

especially for more mainstream users looking for an alternative to X or Threads.

That many people use Facebook Threads? That sounds like saying “especially for more mainstream users looking for an alternative to Reddit or New Digg.”

I think it would be nice as an opt-in feature in the user settings

Interestingly, mine was still enabled from the last time I must have toggled that setting.

If they do screw around, they could just train on everything without asking anyone

No problem :)

Do you fall under the affected group? Maybe it’s only listed for those who do

Date

As of April 24 you’ll be feeding the Octocat unless you opt out

Current scope

The code locker’s revised policy applies to Copilot Free, Pro, and Pro+ customers, as of April 24. Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise users are exempt thanks to the terms of their contracts. Students and teachers who access Copilot will also be spared.

To opt out (link edited by me to make it clickable)

Those affected have the option to opt out in accordance with “established industry practices” – meaning according to US norms as opposed to European norms where opt-in is commonly required. To opt out, GitHub users should visit github.com/settings/copilot/features and disable “Allow GitHub to use my data for AI model training” under the Privacy heading.

Both factors are related, I couldn’t find the article I was looking for but this one touches on it too. There’s a section for cell phones specifically

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galápagos_syndrome

The term “Galápagos syndrome” was originally coined to refer to Japanese 3G mobile phones, which had developed a large number of specialized features that were widely adopted in the Japanese market, but were unsuccessful abroad.[6][7] While the original usage of the term was to describe highly advanced phones that were incompatible outside of Japanese networks, as the mobile phone industry underwent drastic changes globally, the term was used to emphasize the associated anxiety about how the development of Japanese mobile phones and those in the worldwide economy went along different paths.

When a technology advances quickly and gets adopted in the local region (ex. Japan), it can be difficult to change when other parts of the world move forward with a different standard.

The opposite can also happen, where a region is slow to change and then haphazardly moves forward when the benefits are proven elsewhere. American payment systems for example

Hmm, could we do away with months and just number the weeks from top to bottom? Or better yet, number the days.

Happy 2026-77 everyone!

At the same time, weeks do let us organize our working and non working schedules neatly.

I don’t ask for permission because it’s almost always yes, but I will delete it if the person asks.

I like to leave a comment because it helps people discover the smaller communities

Instead of buying a new printer, can you print at a local print shop/library/university? That might end up being the cheapest option

Why are they so hell bent on finding a reason to scan eyeballs

From what I remember, they were going to “use AI” to handle moderation. It felt like a grift from the beginning

This is one of the questions we asked on our census this year. We are still working on cleaning the data, and we may exclude additional responses if we identify more duplicates / errors, but here is a preview of those results:

It depends on the field and where you are in your career. From my university, it seemed like the computer science and business people needed to be on LinkedIn, while the other sciences did not. It also becomes less important as you progress in your career, since there will be better ways to share your experience
