Not the 6T but I owned the 6 for years until AT&T decided to forcibly disable any of their SIM cards in one when they sunsetted their 3G network (still very pissed about this…).
I know the spec.s were similar, while being improved on the 6T, so not 1-to-1 but I can say the 6 was a really solid device.
When I ran Mobian on it, the extra spec.s (over, say, the PinePhone) really made things pretty nice; I’d expect you’d have a nice time with it and I think it’s a solid device.
Incident on 57th Street by Bruce Springsteen, live at the Main Point '75
It’s always hard to gauge, with Bruce (obviously not an unknown but, also, lots of people who’ve only casually listened to him, if even that), but this one’s a live performance for a track that doesn’t get a lot of radio play.
Also a great example of his early storytelling work and great use of violins, to boot. The whole original album is a classic but this one’s great as a one-shot.
I think the weirdest thing I ever saw him do was discuss meeting with Meta when they were working on Threads, get called out for it so he made a post somehow distancing himself from it and saying something along the lines of, “C’mon, guys; I’d never cozy up to Meta,” and then, when Threads started federating, posted a screenshot of being able to see a post from a Threads account from PixelFed and gushing about how incredible this was.
Dude is suspect, for real; glad to see I’m not the only one getting that.
EDIT: just read through what you linked to and wow; that’s so much worse than I originally thought. That’s an inane degree of unprofessionalism.
Yeah; exactly. You’re seeing what I’m seeing. Reaffirming (to me) that this idea of ours is a good one.
I doubt I’d have the skill to write it but I’ve long thought something like Etsy could be interesting.
I think the federated nature of the Fediverse could do well to stave off the worst of any spamming.
But the thing I notice the most with independent sellers is that the bulk of what they’re doing is networking, generally amongst friends. Which, really, is the ideal environment for goods and services to be sold.
But, since capitalism always demands the line goes up, places like Etsy inevitably abandon them and making their sites encouraging of that kind of interpersonal connecting in favor of entities which can mass churn products out.
Setting up shops in the fediverse would allow people to easily host their own shops (and not be reliant on the infrastructure of, say, Etsy) and boosting would organically encourage a web of trust since their friend is essentially saying, “I know this person; they’re good.” You could even have the code autotag listings with a hashtag so people can filter out those types of posts, if they don’t want to.
Not sure how you’d handle federation when you first spin up an instance but, still, more alternatives are better than less, I expect.
I dunno; I think it’d be interesting.
Jerry already caught me up.
To those who haven’t heard it before, it sounds like a way to note that Threads can interope with the Fediverse, now (I can see people who were super excited about Meta joining doing that).
Maybe it being capitalized also made it the first thing my brain jumped to.
In any case, I was mistaken and just hadn’t heard of the term before; just ignore my original comments, basically: they’re wrong.
Ah; I rescind my comments and apologize. I can see the reasoning.
What the Hell is a Threadiverse? Maybe we don’t give a corporate entity branding and credit for a network we built well before they ever came along.
Now knowing the context, it’s so…Musk-like.
Oh, they won’t realize what I’m doing if I pretend it’s symbolizing my heart going out towards the crowd…
*throws the most awkward and uncoordinated Fascist salute, ever*
In the pre-Trump world, none. In this administration, I think it’ll barely even register.
From my Guix to your Nix.
