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.
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.
2 minute old post with no replies, truly unheard of on Lemmy.
Apple recreating Google Inbox would be an ultimate power move.
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.
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.
US doesn’t care about your data on TT that much, it’s just a trade war. China recently banned a slew of US platforms so US has to respond tit for tat. I’m kinda confused why they’re trying to sell it as something that looks like a major hypocrisy.
That’s a really weird thing to get angry over. Advertising as a term is much better at conveying what they wanted to.

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.
