I mean… she is technically sitting down

Sit down…

mmagod , in Outlook suddenly started opening links in Edge, disregarding my default browser settings

Oh crap, I thought it was just something I overlooked at work. It has been happening to me too

cybervseas , in This woman in front of me during Kendrick Lamar

Ha I had something similar with a woman at Kendrick Lamar’s performance at Gov Ball NYC this year.

Probably a different woman, though.

Xylia , in Every time I turn around, there's another damn Linux fanboy crawling out from under a rock

What’s the point of blocking a bunch of Linux communities? I agree with your right to do so. Just not sure I see the point.

Windows/Mac/Linux daily user here. We can all exist in harmony.

Innocent_Bystander , in Outlook suddenly started opening links in Edge, disregarding my default browser settings

Facebook is dying this to me now too, everyone opening with their in app browser

neryam , in Outlook suddenly started opening links in Edge, disregarding my default browser settings

Google Chat desktop app does the same thing but opens all links in chrome. I need to use both teams and chat for my company and client’s teams so I’m constantly getting one or the other browser opened on me. Infuriating

kratoz29 , in The official reddit app is not even supported on my device.

You dodged a bullet homie.

Mothra , in Deleting your Threads profile will also kill your Instagram account

Wait, does it mean if you already have an Instagram account you also have a threads profile already?

Yeah aside from instagram login you don’t have to do anything for sign up

Itty53 ,
@Itty53@kbin.social avatar

Yup. Remember this when they tout how threads "already has millions of users". They're all zombie accounts.

I wonder if investors and advertisers will also realize this.

Itty53 ,
@Itty53@kbin.social avatar

I mean it's pretty obvious, but then investors are technological illiterates. Companies still use user counts to measure their livelihood for investors, that tells you it works. It's retarded. It's fucking dumb money. But these types never stop long enough to learn, it's how they get where they're at.

humantorchbankloan ,

there are no ads yet

They probably will realise that 10 million is less than 1% of 1.6bn and that they can safely ignore people making shit up.

Jo ,
@Jo@readit.buzz avatar

That's not true. Instagram has 1.6bn users and all can use their Instagram logins to sign in to Threads. The roughly 1% who have signed up already have chosen to activate Threads, it's not done automatically.

inverimus ,

Threads is basically a new feature of Instagram, they don’t even talk about it as something that is distinct from it.

P1r4nha ,

Technically Meta already had everything ready for a Twitter functionality. Doesn’t make sense to copy it. Just put together a little differently.

small44 ,

I don’t think so, I think they are using OAuth 2.0 to create a threads account based on Instagram credentials.

Ado , in Deleting your Threads profile will also kill your Instagram account

Win win

HiddenLayer5 , in Outlook suddenly started opening links in Edge, disregarding my default browser settings

That’s what we call malware!

MedicPigBabySaver , in I had a migraine. Mom insisted we go here to eat. Yes, a bowling alley. In a casino.

You’re an adult. The blame lays in the mirror.

TskUghPfftUhh ,

No

@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

I found a note in my apartment’s parking lot (on the ground, not my or any vehicle) the other day that said “I hope you don’t fuck like you park” and had myself a giggle.

Crunchypotat77 , in Deleting your Threads profile will also kill your Instagram account

I’m one of those suckers who installed it to try out, but uninstalled just as quickly.

Not a single tweet or anything.

But i guess now my account is stuck there.

Holzkohlen ,

Or just delete your instagram account and join pixelfed instead.

Crunchypotat77 ,

There isn’t an iOS app at the moment. I tried searching on app Store. Didn’t find any.

Plus i need to be on at least one social media to be in touch with friends. I already don’t have facebook or twitter.

QuantumEyetanglement ,

There is one but it’s still in TestFlight. I believe it’s supposed to be out officially by the end of the month but apple may be giving them issues. Toot from the developers

Crunchypotat77 ,

Ah. Didn’t know that. I’ll check it out once it’s stable.

@Jeze3D@kbin.social avatar

There is an iOS app. It’s called vernissage. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vernissage-for-pixelfed/id1663543216

Crunchypotat77 ,

Thanks. I’ll check it out.

Paladin173 , in Outlook suddenly started opening links in Edge, disregarding my default browser settings

I actually don’t mind this. I use outlook and edge for work, my other browser is for personal use

themarty27 ,

The promlem is not Microsoft pushing Edge or setting it as default, which is already the case, the issue is that MS is forcing people to use Edge.
