4·9 days agoIf 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.
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.
77·21 days agoI guess it’s fine as long as EPP led governments in Poland and Lithuania do this, just not Orban because he’s a bit of an ass.
Glad to hear, thanks for the update.
It’s Dungeons and Dragons that did. And fidget spinners.
EU cogs move slow, that’s why Apple drags this out in this way.
They will focus specifically on subscription based apps to finance Apple technology
ransomfee so you know it’s safe to ignore what’s there for now.
I found my current and previous job via LinkedIn but I applied through company recruitment portals. It’s an ok job board / aggregator for us corporate types. You just have to ignore extremely deranged and deluded people posting ego stroke fests and the most inane advice.

We hate russia but half of draft aged men would escape Poland before breakfast if war broke out. We don’t own anything and have no say in anything so why would we fight to protect fortunes of the wealthy? There is no sense of community in this nation.
“Vote for us or russia wins”. This is probably the worst election campaign I’ve ever seen. Yeah, PiS is a bunch of thugs that has very high tolerance for people that could be working on behalf of russia. At the same time PiS government provided Ukraine with most tanks out of any nation. What PO is doing is just fucking irresponsible, take a look at this this ad they aired a day after Fico was shot.
And that’s not even the most depressing thing. PiS and PO keep calling each other russian agents but won’t even mention far right Konfederacja that has obvious ties to Putin because they could be their coalition partner one day. PiS courted them prior to and after last elections but ultimately they wouldn’t have majority anyway. PO knows that if New Left ever grows balls and quits coalition there won’t be any other way to remain in power.
You have to commend courts for prioritizing russian values (like wife beating) over an opportunity to send them to jail and then back into the meat grinder.
Apologies, I misspoke. Yes, western social media has been banned since forever and China requires local majority stake for joint ventures.
What I was getting at is that in March China announced they are moving from Microsoft, Intel and AMD for government PCs. I imagine US is quite angry to be losing so many backdoor vectors. US and China are trading big blows now with 100% tariffs on EVs and TT ban.
That’s curious, I use Facebook a lot for local and niche interest groups and have never seen any cross-promotion of other Meta services. Probably an EU thing.
