I'm still liking Threads, but it hasn't replaced Mastodon for me; the two platforms have palpably different vibes and constituencies (or at least my corners of them do). I thus find myself living a ridiculous double life across two different micro-blogging services, with neither one getting the attention it probably deserves.
Maybe the problem will go away if/when Threads federates, but there doesn't currently seem to be a date on that, nor even a date for a date.
I tried to keep half an eye on the Apple event, but the way every little tweak and update comes swaddled in superlatives makes it a tiresome effort to try to work out what changes (if any) are actually interesting.
@chrisphin The Samsung S Pen has a side button that you can squeeze with your thumb to activate eraser mode, and release to instantly go back to pen mode.
It's a very elegant solution, apart from the fact that the contouring of the pen seems to be the wrong way round, so you have to hold the pen "upside-down" to access the button.
@rochelimit It might be fun to write the script in AutoIt, but that's Windows-only, and I'd much rather do the job on my Mac.
So perhaps the question is whether I'd enjoy learning AppleScript (probably), and whether that would be worth the investment versus doing something billable (much more dubious).
@rochelimit The thing is, when I first had the idea of writing the script, I doubted that I'd still be doing this task five years later. Do I think it'll last ANOTHER five years?
