The handheld gaming space is finally firing on all cylinders 🔥 https://youtu.be/Pp3fbZZOlcs

@verge covered Bounce on The Vergecast! "The idea that I can just pick up my stuff on a social network, and put it down on another social network? Like, that's it, baby. That's the stuff." - @imdavidpierce "Now we're in the products phase" - @reckless1280 That's 👏🏼 the 👏🏼 stuff 👏🏼 RE […]

"The overall goal at A New Social is to shift the power of social networks back to the people, not the platform makers, by giving them tools that let them move their account, their followings, and leave if a platform ever fails them in some way." 🎯🎯🎯 🗣️ PEOPLE. NOT. PLATFORMS. RE […]

The open social web just got a whole lot more open 🌐 Introducing Bounce: A tool that helps migrate your social graph between ATProto and ActivityPub! So hyped to finally reveal the work we've been doing on this 🙂 RE: https://www.threads.com/@anewsocialweb/post/DKhmksVxkEs

When someone says it's not Pride Month, block them. Don't give them engagement, don't give them visibility. Elevate more LGBTQ+ voices instead.

On vibe coding:

"We don't need more people writing software; we need more people who understand it. The vibes are insecure." In this issue of Human-Generated Content, we're doing a vibe check on vibe coding. There are some cases where it's useful, but, as we've learned, it can also be a security nightmare […]

Google in six months: "We are seeing unprecedented usage of Gemini in Gmail. As we told you, everyone wants Gemini and we definitely don't have our thick thumbs on the scale" RE: https://www.threads.com/@verge/post/DKRWQBsNEf0

The vibe-coding trend is going to end up being one of the biggest national security risks we've seen in the software industry RE: https://www.threads.com/@semafor/post/DKPyvbItzvJ

Our goal for Bridgy Fed is to be funded by users and avoid as much pressure from external organizations as possible. We're a nonprofit using software as user advocacy for the open social web so we can hold platforms accountable to their promises. This is what we mean by People, Not Platforms. 1/2

🗣️ PEOPLE, NOT PLATFORMS So excited to finally drop our first batch of merch! We've been asked by so many people to throw our motto onto *all the things*, so we hope you love them as much as we do! I've been wearing my hoodie literally everywhere. RE […] [Original post on threads.com]

Everyone is complaining about iOS version number changes and I'm just over here wishing we could still have dessert names for Android versions 😔

I dunno, man - if you're going to do a tariff on Apple, at least have the poetic justice to make it 30%

A third core device, but it's just a little creature on your shoulder that says things like, "Do you really need to respond to that mean reply? Just block and put the phone away."

Today, we're launching two things at @anewsocialweb: a Bridgy Fed settings page and a Patreon! Bridgy Fed Config lets you switch bridging on/off for your Bluesky, Mastodon, or Pixelfed accounts, and we'll be adding Fediverse Threads to the mix soon! For ActivityPub-based accounts, you can add […]

Went to go see Kendrick & SZA last night. Open air concert with pouring rain, and we all stuck it through. Seattle built different 💪🏼

Apple has become the most developer-hostile company to work with as if those same developers aren't the ones driving iPhone sales. News Flash, Mr. Cook: People don't buy your products for your pretty Calculator app. You're choosing wrong, again. RE: https://www.threads.com/@verge/post/DJq5xl4hLZB

Looks like along with more links in bio, @threads will also be testing showing more links in the For You feed. This is a huge improvement since competitors like @bluesky_social have proven the value of more links in people's feeds 👏🏼 RE: https://www.threads.com/@karissabe/post/DJrgBAFJuYC

It appears that one benefit of creating a bi-directional claim on your URL on your Threads profile will add an "Author" annotation when you link to articles on that domain. Nice! /cc @ben.werdmuller ##NewThreads

Me watching the app store duopoly finally start to crumble

Love it when malicious compliance leads to harsh punishments that give consumers what they should've had all along ❤️ RE: https://www.threads.com/@verge/post/DJJtw3igEk6
