Steve Troughton-SmithYeah… Meta’s Threads instantly has a whole bunch of people and accounts I wish I could follow here. It's like the missing puzzle piece to complete this place and allow things to stay chill here while that gets all the mainstream drama. I hope they stick with it long term — they have an unmissable opportunity to break the status quo. Mastodon support can't come soon enough

Threads may just be the bridge to corporations, celebrities, media, customer support et al that Mastodon may never pick up on its own. Entire communities that just have no interest in moving here. As long as it /remains/ open/interoperable, that's a good thing. Meta is free to do whatever it likes over there that would never fly here, but may be *necessary* to build a well-rounded service of the like that can fully replace what came before. Real content, not just bots that repost from elsewhere

OvercastWelcome, Stitcher users!
I started Overcast ten years ago in large part because I was afraid of Stitcher taking over the market with its proprietary walled garden (which was even more walled at the time, and was gaining significant traction).
I wanted to ensure that the open world of podcasting survived and thrived, even when faced with strong proprietary threats.
The names and players have changed since then, and the battle continues, but open podcasting remains dominant and healthy today.

New to advanced #HomeNetworking, but I just got gigabit fiber and am looking to setup #Ubiquiti #UniFi. Am I good to go with a UDM SE and a couple U6 Mesh access points? This is a 1500 sq ft apartment with lots of walls, so I figure one AP for the living room and one for the office should be enough.
Ken CaseWith WWDC now in our rear-view mirror, it's time to share our plans for the rest of the year! We're continuing full steam ahead on OmniFocus 4 and OmniGraffle 8. And peering even further ahead, we look forward to bringing all of our products to Apple's new spatial computing platform!
