If it feels a little costly any, the PineTime’s also pretty good. Not remotely the same degree of plugin ecosystem due to being written in C but definitely serviceable and only $27.
(not advocating over the BangleJS – as I haven’t owned one and it does look more featureful – but mostly mentioning as I don’t see a lot of people mention it, either)
I think the weirdest thing I ever saw him do was discuss meeting with Meta when they were working on Threads, get called out for it so he made a post somehow distancing himself from it and saying something along the lines of, “C’mon, guys; I’d never cozy up to Meta,” and then, when Threads started federating, posted a screenshot of being able to see a post from a Threads account from PixelFed and gushing about how incredible this was.
Dude is suspect, for real; glad to see I’m not the only one getting that.
EDIT: just read through what you linked to and wow; that’s so much worse than I originally thought. That’s an inane degree of unprofessionalism.
Jerry already caught me up.
To those who haven’t heard it before, it sounds like a way to note that Threads can interope with the Fediverse, now (I can see people who were super excited about Meta joining doing that).
Maybe it being capitalized also made it the first thing my brain jumped to.
In any case, I was mistaken and just hadn’t heard of the term before; just ignore my original comments, basically: they’re wrong.
Ah; I rescind my comments and apologize. I can see the reasoning.
What the Hell is a Threadiverse? Maybe we don’t give a corporate entity branding and credit for a network we built well before they ever came along.
Thank you
