Direction yeah, great stuff.
Why he's still producing his own stuff after all this time is beyond me

I know, I know. Thanks for the pep talk though.
I'm keeping myself busy by looking for something to do in London with my brother on Friday since he will never have celebrated Matariki before
I think it's just a rebrand intended to avoid association with AliExpress by the average consumer. AliExpress isn't going anywhere.
Give The Drummer Some from Ultramagnetic MCs, and that whole album really.
I need loud music so that I can think
Going to be out of the country for a month and will miss Matariki, which feels kind of lame. It's such a great new celebration.
Currently filled with dread about our holiday, currently can't wait for for it to be over so I can stop worrying, and it hasn't even started yet. I'm sure I'll be fine once we get underway.
I'm not normally a worrier about this kind of thing but, the world just seems so shit lately and like something is begging to go wrong. Have a train transfer in Paris in a couple of weeks which may prove... exciting.
Temu is just a different front-end for the same logistics network that Ali Express runs on.
The main difference is that the Chinese Govt is spending billions to use Temu to undercut Amazon. That won't last forever so I say get in early with Temu and profit from their stupid economic battlefield
If threads scoops up all the people who turned twitter and reddit into celebrity gossip meme ghettos and keeps them in the shallow end of the pool then everybody wins
It's absolutely horrifying to browse. It reads like one of those fake twitters you find in a videogame.
Just a bunch of brand accounts and preselected celebrites all there with carefully crafted jokes about how it's the new place to be
Who does that select for though.
Those with the most time? The most money? The most aggressive approach?
Competition doesn't tend to produce holistic quality; only efficiency.
ActivityPub or whatever BlueSky calls theirs could end up being the perfect protocols for truly Public online spaces, managed by governments in the same sense that they manage public meatspace
Agreed, the data concern is a red herring. Might as well do a "I hereby revoke consent for Facebook to take my data..." post for all the good it will do you.
Block Threads because of the potential impact it can have on the quality of experience here. That's a good enough reason. Nobody joined a lemmy so that they could keep in touch with people who use social media to gossip about brands and influencers.
