  True, but if server owner pulls the plug, all the content you have there is gone. They can also unilaterally delete your posts.

  I guess my point is ownership isn’t as important as control.

  SoundCloud vapes content and entire accounts all the time.

  Mine is fully backed up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net.⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol no. That said, I’m on Threads too so whatevs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do we own our posts?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Each instance has complete control over what is posted on it. The only way to truly own your posts is to set up your own instance and interact only with communities on it.

  I can’t imagine any law that would preclude the status quo, as Microsoft doesn’t own a controlling stake in OpenAI anyway. It sounds like the FTC is picking its targets based on market cap only.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The FTC is reportedly looking into Microsoft’s $13 billion OpenAI investment⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The FTC tried & failed. They’ll most likely fail here too. It’s tough for courts to rule against what the FTC sees as unfair competition when even the judges are likely Amazon Prime & Big 3 ecosystem subscribers.

  Great news for folks in Jamaica where I’m from. Pretty common there.

  to stop using it you have to de-register your phone number from iCloud.

  Ah, TIL. I was wondering that. I’ll avoid it then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beeper Mini’s iMessage app for Android is broken, possibly by Apple⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I was wondering how they were pulling that off without registering the phone number or iCloud account with Apple.

  In any case, this also shows that iMessage can be spoofed.

  Yep, Firefox Nightly is my daily driver. I use Edge Canary for sites that don’t work on Firefox, such as the Snapchat web client.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you run a private CA? Could you tell me about your certificate setup if you do?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In many architectures in which certificates are used, a client with a valid certificate is a trusted client, so a certificate falling into the wrong hands is problematic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chrome’s next weapon in the War on Ad Blockers: Slower extension updates⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Edge & Firefox exist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  On sites like Twitter or Mastodon, you mainly just have one feed based on the people or tags you follow

  X has had lists, which allow multiple feeds for the same account, for a very long time now.

  This doesn’t offer anything in terms of individual user personalization.

  Reddit has the multireddit feature.

  All of the above have to be set up manually, but Threads changes your feed in real time within the same session based on your interactions.

  My take exactly.
