@Teh404Gal@tech.lgbt @kkarhan@mstdn.social @barnibu@birdbutt.com Idk what it was using in the past, however, it's now clearly Chrome under the hood as it features the exact same kinds of bugs that Chromium does. Scrolling is much slower on Linux than Windows/MacOS and when readjusting the window size, it does it the exact same ugly way that Chromium does it.

@Testoceratops@disabled.social Ah, that makes a lot of sense! I haven't seen this happen before, so it didn't occur to me. Thanks for sharing. I'll know be prepared in the event I should be there when smth like this is happening :)

@Testoceratops@disabled.social Thankyou for the tips! I have a couple questions though. You say that securing the head is important and that many will have a bracelet with who to reach out to and such. But you also say no contact because that can worsen it. How do you chech the bracelet and secure the head without any physical contact? Or is it okay as long as it's for those two specific purposes? I understand that blocking out stimuli with your body is good, however, say this is someone I don't know and it happens on the street or smth. Can it be frightening for you if I get close to you to block some of the movement of people in the background? Is that a good tradeoff? Should I state my intent, something like "I'm sitting close to block out stimuli until you've recovered"? This ofc assumes that you are able to block out stimuli by sitting close.

@duco @AmyZenunim lol, my point is that you're being naive for thinking that's what'll happen. Firstly, to address your claim that """If you don't interact with people from Threads nothing is shared with them, that isn't public.""" As long as anyone on Threads follow you, they have access to all your posts except DMs. If you message someone there, they can also access those DMs. There's a lot of data to gather there. Not just that, but if you personally block Threads but literally anyone who's followed by someone on Threads boosts your post, they get access to it, even if you require authentication for API access. This is part of why instances need to block Threads. To protect their users from a company who have historically over-collected data and mishandled that data. Anyway, look up Embrace, Extend, Extinguish. Historically, what's happened is that big corporations have embraced open standards, extended them, and made it basically impossible to run on your own. XMPP and email are both great examples of that. Corporations want money. There's literally no way Facebook would've followed the ActivityPub standard if they didn't think it would benefit them in some way.

@duco @AmyZenunim For the record, all the privacy-concerned people would rightfully block MetaFacebook and the people on MetaFacebook couldn't care less about privacy. Like, my own brother doesn't even want to use an adblocker despite me being a privacy advocate and my mother having taught us to be prubacy-conscious since we first got access to the internet xD

@duco @AmyZenunim This is what we in the biz call wishful thinking.

@joel @grote I use those apps. I like them. Sucks that Google is cutting support tho, but at least AOSP isn't useless because of it
